The Stamford Zoning Board on has approved a proposal to build a 31-story high-rise apartment building in downtown’s Landmark Square. The residential tower will replace an existing office building built in 1977 as part of Stamford’s urban renewal era. The new project will be the city’s third-tallest building. The developer, White Plains, N.Y.-based Cappelli Organization, also developed Stamford’s tallest building, the 350-foot Park Tower Stamford — formerly known as Trump Parc Stamford. The height of the building exceeds the maximum of 290 feet allowed in Downtown Stamford under the city’s zoning regulations. But according to Land Use Bureau staff, the additional 30 feet of height was permissible if the developer made contributions to the streetscape and surrounding area, such as new public space, awnings, canopies and other pedestrian amenities.
