Explaining how complex urban
revitalization projects work
The Stamford Story – Tresser Square Project
October 11, 2007
his breakfast workshop addresses issues critical to the
success of cities in the New York Metropolitan area that
are experiencing exciting but often unplanned growth and
development. Private sector developers and their suppliers,
service providers, and lawyers are integral to the success of all
such development activities. But the key to their success is
often their ability to partner creatively with government
agencies, local community groups, and not-for-profits to
develop, finance, and execute multi-use, environmentallyfriendly, humane urban developments that are both profitable
and sustainable.
T
Industry leaders and their lawyers will learn why developers
find Stamford a hospitable city to work with and how they
secure the city's support. The Tresser Square Project, which is
being developed by Lowe Enterprises near the downtown
train station will be used as a prototype to demonstrate how
the complex problems of urban revitalization are solved.
Among the innovative aspects of the project are the
identification of a unique site, the land use regulations that
permitted the mixed-use development, the various forms of
ownership involved, the provision of affordable housing, the
connection with the train station and its impact on marketing,
various financial incentives secured, and the successful
involvement of several levels of government.

Honorable Dannel Malloy, Mayor, Stamford, Connecticut
In 2005, Dannel P. Malloy was elected to his fourth term as Mayor of Stamford, Connecticut. Mayor Malloy
is the longest serving mayor in the history of Stamford. Throughout his tenure, he has earned people’s
respect for his genuine commitment to managing a city government that takes great pride in the citizens
it serves and protects. Malloy’s leadership boasts vast reductions in crime, new affordable housing, and
many improvements to an educational system. He has worked to modernize the City’s infrastructure, and
his pragmatic financial management has enabled Stamford to make these investments while preserving its
AAA Bond Rating.
In its quest for perfection, the City has sharpened its focus, rather than relish its success. The Mayor’s
public safety successes have enabled him to pursue a legislative agenda that seeks to revitalize Stamford’s
economy, to advance an affordable housing initiative, and to restructure the public schools to prepare our
children to enter the nation’s competitive workforce. Malloy’s efforts to reposition Stamford in the new
global economy, while continuing its leading role in the region and the State, have also won accolades. The
City is now an international center for finance, home to the North American Headquarters of UBS, and soon,
the Royal Bank of Scotland. Major corporate offices in the downtown benefit from the renewal effort that
has received regional and national notoriety as it has launched new solutions to urban design, retail and
housing. In fact, the City is a national leader in engaging private developers to build housing for a broad
range of income units through zoning incentives. For instance, downtown Stamford has seen more housing
production than any other city in America. This privately leveraged production has been complemented by
the Mayor’s success in securing major federal Hope VI funds for two major public housing projects and
collaborating with local not for profit housing sponsors.
