The Metropolitan, located at 1515 Summer Street in the heart of downtown Stamford , captured a prestigious award at the 13th Annual Connecticut Real Estate Awards, sponsored by The Real Estate Exchange of Connecticut. Selected from a finalist pool of less than 20 projects completed in 2007 in the State of Connecticut , the Metropolitan was chosen as the best example of a successful Adaptive Re-Use. In partnership with Paxton and Ray Kinol of Stillwater Investment Management and Summer Partners, The Metropolitan was developed by Hannah Real Estate Investors, the Stamford-based real estate development and investment company led by renowned developer Seth G. Weinstein. The Metropolitan was honored at a ceremony held at the Connecticut Convention Center in Hartford on Wednesday, March 26. This annual event draws top tier professionals in Connecticut ’s real estate industry and the awards are highly competed for within this arena. The awards process gives special emphasis to those projects which have an important impact on the town, state, or region. The Metropolitan converted a vacant downtown office building into a superbly appointed, dramatic and chic residential building. As the most cosmopolitan urban living environment in the Stamford market today, The Metropolitan expands the life-style options in the city. Moreover, in creating a new residential use, The Metropolitan integrates its occupants into the ebb and flow of downtown life. Situated in Stamford ’s pedestrian core, it is a short distance from the city’s transit center and in close proximity to parks, entertainment venues, diverse dining options, offices, services, and retailers of the city center. “I am delighted that my partners and I won this wonderful award for The Metropolitan,” said Mr. Weinstein. “With The Metropolitan, we completed a first-of-its-kind conversion of a 66,000 square foot office building, transforming it into a vibrant, modern, and sophisticated Manhattan-style building.” The Metropolitan offers luxury condominium residences and penthouse units with large private terraces and panoramic views. The building’s soft gray stucco, natural copper, and stainless steel facade opens to a striking, modern lobby. The luxury condominium residences astound with 10 to 12 foot ceilings, expansive industrial windows, hardwood floors, and the most sophisticated stone, tile, metal, and glass finishes. Appliances are top-of-the-line throughout. The 8th floor penthouses are The Metropolitan’s crown jewels, affording panoramic views through walls of glass, expansive floor plans, and luxurious outdoor private living areas. The boldness and sophistication of the loft interiors are carried through to the Townhomes that are built adjacent to the main building. The four-story brick and stone Townhomes feature 9 foot ceilings, hardwood floors, well-appointed interiors with state-of-the-art kitchens, sumptuous baths, and full size washers and dryers. Each Townhome has its own private garage and ample, secure parking for guests. All residents enjoy many lifestyle enhancing amenities including a private fitness center, a temperature-controlled wine storage facility, and an elegantly styled club room with a flat screen television, beautifully styled copper bar, and comfortable Italian modern furnishings. A full-time concierge is available to assist residents and their guests. The Metropolitan has been enthusiastically embraced by Stamford ’s growing population of young professionals and affluent empty nesters. Despite the general malaise in the real estate market, virtually all of the units at The Metropolitan and the adjacent Townhomes are sold.
