GREEN APARTMENT COMMUNITY OPENS IN STAMFORD

STAMFORD, CONN. — A joint venture between Jonathan Rose Cos. and Malkin Properties has opened a new apartment community called Metro Green Residences in Stamford. Perkins Eastman Architects designed the mixed-income development, which was built at the Stamford Transportation Center. The building includes 50 rental units. Of the total, 40 units will be marketed as affordable homes, while the remaining units will be market-rate apartments. The project also includes more than 1,600 square feet of retail space on the ground floor, adjacent to a plaza and rain garden. Amenities include a landscaped courtyard, gardening spaces and a meditation space. The development is the first phase of the Metro Green master plan, which will offer 283 mixed-income residential units and a 350,000-square-foot office tower.
