McCalls Redux

BlogStamford beats the Stamford Advocate to the punch again. The landmark McCalls sign is coming down as building comes closer to demolition.

Antares is proposing a large office development for the north end of the property called The Gateway. No immediate plans for the southern portion of the plot seem apparent although the article mentions one potential use in consideration.

Discussions about what to do with the land are still open, according to Richard Redniss, a land-use consultant for the Gateway project. One idea is to preserve the building's foundation to create a public access scenic river overlook. Antares, however, has not submitted any applications regarding the McCall's site.

That would be cool considering RBS is developing their strip of land long the Mill River as a landscaped riverwalk open to the public. If Antares does the same and connects to RBS with the land they control south of the tracks we’ll have a significant expansion of the greenway.
