Highlights
- Immediately accessible to Interstate 95 and Route 1, just one mile from two Metro-North railroad stations and one hour from New York City

- Two miles east of Downtown Stamford, which has experienced 80%+ residential population growth in the past decade, driven by the delivery of more than 6,000 new apartment units, 200,000 square feet of new retail space and one million square feet of new office space
- The Stamford / Darien line is active with mixed-use developments including Heights Crossing, which comprises 65 apartment units with complementary retail and commercial space adjacent to the Noroton Heights Metro-North station, and The Corbin District, which encompasses 11 new apartment, retail and office buildings in the heart of Downtown Darien

Vince McMahon Banned From WWE Offices
Back in June, it was revealed that Vince McMahon was banned from WWE’s new headquarters, despite playing a major role in designing the offices and gym.
The disgraced former chairman left the company in January after being accused of multiple sex crimes by former WWE employee Janel Grant. McMahon continues to deny any wrongdoing.
