The property is proximate to the Stamford Transportation Center, which allows access to the Metro-North Railroad, Amtrak’s Acela and Regional line and ConnDOT trains to New York City, Boston and Washington D.C. Interstate 95 and Merritt Parkway also provide residents easy connectivity across the city. The property is adjacent to a 20,000-square-foot Target and is a block from Bedford Street, which is Stamford’s main shopping, dining and nightlife destination.
