Demolition is just about complete, and the site on Station Place should be clear by Thanksgiving, a state Department of Transportation spokesman said Tuesday. The department replaced the long-crumbling garage in February with a new one that opened a block away on Washington Boulevard. DOT at the time partnered with a private developer to build a $500 million, 1 million-square-foot complex of residential, retail, office and hotel space. The project, which DOT officials said would spur development in Stamford and generate revenue for the agency, never got off the ground. But DOT is again seeking a partner “to transform a key transportation hub and foster a … development that supports the continued revitalization” of downtown, according to a Request for Expressions of Interest that the DOT issued to developers, spokesman Joe Cooper said. Responses to the request are due Oct. 4, he said. Next will come a DOT Request for Qualifications to interested developers, Cooper said. That will be due by the end of the year.
