I got this from my BB terminal so no link

STAMFORD - An 11-story apartment, retail and office building that supporters and opponents believe will transform East Main Street has won approval from the Zoning Board.

The project planned by developers New Hope Realty at 914 E. Main St. is a mix of two- and three-bedroom apartments, street-level retail and 7,360 square feet of office space. It will have 124 residential units, with 15 offered below market rate, and two levels of underground parking.

Developers are hoping to work with the city to establish a bus stop at the site, and hope a new Metro-North Railroad stop will eventually be built nearby at Myrtle Avenue and East Main Street.

If Stamford keeps getting these kinds of developments it will be a very transit friendly city in deed. and much denser than it is right now as well.

very interesting stuff.

Hartford gets a 5 story 30 unit building, Stamford gets an 11 story 124 unit building
