The City That Builds… High Class Edition.

Start sewwing up Mr. Monopoly for next years baloon parade, two slick new developments are underway for the crowd that keeps their wine underground and lap pools in the sky.


Trump Parc

Probably the most infamous of Stamford’s recent constuction, when completed, the glass tower will be Stamford’s tallest, topping Landmark Tower. While there was controversy over the height, the size of the footprint, and the use of Trump’s name, the project has broken ground and should be completed in 18 months. If you're in the $670k - $3MM price range you can enjoy featrues such as 24-hour concierge/doorman, an indoor swimming pool, a full-service health club, a wireless lounge, billiards and screening rooms, a rooftop private observation deck and a “car spa.” While the environment isn’t usually the thing thing envoked when using Trump & “green” in the same sentance, the building will have LEED green buidling certification. You can spot the massive crane working already next to Target. With any luck this one has it’s bolts on tighter than the RBS one that went renegade recently and closed down a few square blocks.


Highgrove

The Highgrove is Stamford’s second ultra swanky pad with amenties including private entry elevator access to each unit, 24-hour concierge and valet service, an indoor pool with retractable roof panels, a health club, spa, screening room and wine cellar. Unconfirmed at this time is the giant vault where residents can swim in their own money.

The footprint wraps around a 4 story brick apartment building on the corner of Forest & Grove. While Trump is going for the glass mountain look, Highgrove is shooting for a more classic vibe. Highgrove suffered a number of setbacks and has basically sat as a patch of dirt piles the last two years. With all the final hurdles cleared, work on the foundation started a month or so ago.
