Metro Green Residential

The 50-unit Metro Green Apartments is Connecticut’s foremost transit oriented affordable housing community. Metro Green Apartments is a cornerstone of Stamford’s plan to advance climate prosperity as a green model for the state and for the region.

A smart growth location, Metro Green Apartments is located one block from the Metro North Stamford Railroad Station on Henry Street between Atlantic Street and Washington Boulevard. Metro Green Apartments is the first phase of Metro Green Residential, a candidate for LEED Neighborhood Development gold certification that includes 238 mixed-income rental and for-sale residences on a mixed-use, Transit Oriented site.

Metro Green Apartments integrates environmentally responsible features that enhance the urban environment, promote better health for residents, promote energy efficiency and save residents money. The 52,565 square foot building was designed by Perkins Eastman Architects to exceed the Enterprise Green Communities Guidelines and will be seeking U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) New Construction Gold certification.

Public amenities of the project include a new public plaza and streetscape with custom street light fixtures, new sidewalks and curbside plantings. Other environmentally responsible features of Metro Green Apartments include rainwater harvesting system, high-performance building envelope, energy-efficient mechanical systems, as well as green building materials including recycled and low VOC components.

Financing for Metro Green Apartments was arranged through JPMorgan Chase, GE Capital, The Connecticut Housing Finance Authority and The City of Stamford. The balance of Metro Green’s residential and office developments are now in final approval and planning stages.

In addition to the Jonathan Rose Companies and W&M Properties Metro Green Residential joint venture, Metro Green will feature a 350,000 square foot, 17-story, “best in class” LEED Platinum candidate office tower and numerous public improvements.
