With architecture by Newman Architects, the modern and hip seven-story building has fast achieved the impressive mark of 70% leased.  The much-anticipated outdoor amenities complete the energetic lifestyle at The Hazel and are highlighted by a landscaped rooftop terrace with barbecues and a covered dining area, and a pool with pergola seating areas and chaise loungers.   

The desired outdoor spaces join a myriad of contemporary indoor amenities already available to residents and the fast-leasing building.  These include a lounge with co-working space and a demonstration kitchen, and a state-of-the-art fitness center.   Renters also enjoy conveniences include such as a package room, bike storage, and an enclosed parking garage with electric vehicle charging stations.  Another unique amenity at The Hazel is TULU, an on-demand smart rental store for high-quality household and lifestyle products.

Adding to the buzz at The Hazel is Hudson Table, a culinary studio designed to serve as an alternative form of recreation through cooking demonstrations and hands-on classes that’s located right off its lobby.  The Hazel Stamford location also features a café open five days a week with a menu of freshly made breakfast and lunch items, local coffee, and prepared grab-and-go-meals created by Hudson Table’s chefs.

With there’s plenty to do right at home, The Hazel’s location in Stamford’s Harbor Point provides residents great proximity to shopping, dining, nightlife, entertainment and transportation. The 322-acre peninsula on the Long Island Sound boats a relaxed, waterfront vibe mixed with urban energy.  Restaurants run the gamut of culinary styles, from surf and turf at Prime, authentic Italian cuisine at Fortina, and a Mexican-inspired menu at Mexicue to all-natural, sustainable burgers and salads at Bareburger’s, seafood at the waterfront Crab Shell, and elevated comfort food and drinks at the contemporary gastropub and rooftop bar, Sign of the Whale. The waterfront bustles with boaters and programmed events in the summertime, including Pilates on the Boardwalk, Flow Yoga in the Courtyard, live music in Commons Park, and more. At the base of the peninsula, Kosciuszko Park has a looped walking trail, ball fields and a playground.
