Luxury Waterfront Hotel Plans
Author: Mr. Stamford16 Feb
It was nice to see this article today from the Advocate. Some developers have plans to build a hotel on Harbor Point. Finnaly there appears to be some progress in developing Stamford’s coastline. I found this one quote particularity interesting:
Customer demand for waterfront hotels is high because Connecticut has fewer than 10 such properties,” said Susan Henrique, vice president of sales and marketing for the Norwalk-based Coastal Fairfield Convention & Visitor Bureau.
How is it that the state has only 10 waterfront hotels?? New Jersey must have at least 100 (albeit a lot of crummy ones). I wonder what has kept developers from building properties on the Long Island Sound before…
It appears the developers have plans to make this more than just hotel, but literly transform the area to a dining and shopping destination.
“Our dreams of redeveloping Harbor Point into a destination for living, dining, working and shopping are starting to come alive,” said James Cabrera, co-founder and managing partner of Antares Investment Partners, which has offices in Stamford and Greenwich.

How can you be the “authoritative blog on stamford” when you aren’t aware of Antares’ South End development plan???
“It appears the developers have plans to make this more than just hotel, but literly transform the area to a dining and shopping destination.”
They own 80 acres down there. This isn’t news to anyone but you.
John - If I just assume everyone already knows everything going on in Stamford, then I will never have anything to write about. If the Stamford Advocate feels there is enough interest in the subject to put it on their front page, I think I should be allowed to blog about it on this stupid web site.
Have to agree with John on this one. But then again, I don’t think anyone really was taking your claim as the “authoritative blog of Stamford” seriously.
