Stamford, CT – Groundbreaking ceremonies were held recently for Park 215, the newest phase of Stamford’s Vidal Court revitalization.
The six-story mixed-use building was designed by Kenneth Boroson Architects of New Haven and developed by the Housing Authority of Stamford (d/b/a Charter Oak Communities) through Rippowam Corporation, its development affiliate.
Viking Construction of Bridgeport is construction manager on the project.

Adjacent to Stamford Hospital, the entire 24,000sf street level will be occupied by medical office space, providing easy access to the public as well as tenants.
The lower level will house management offices and community spaces for residents, including a private courtyard. The four upper floors will contain 78 dwellings of one- and two-bedroom units. Approximately 60% will be subsidized, and 40% will be market rate.
The site’s sloping topography will allow tenant parking at the lower level, while a street-level parking deck will be provided for commercial vehicles.
Designed to current Connecticut Housing Finance Authority requirements and Energy Star standards, occupancy of the $38 million complex is anticipated by mid-2018.
