STAMFORD, CT. – Leasing is underway for a new collection of upscale townhome and apartment residences at Harbor Point, Stamford, Connecticut’s vibrant waterfront district.  A Grand Opening event will take place on Saturday, January 25th, 2014.

Named “Postmark Apartments”, the towers are located on the site of the original headquarters of Stamford innovator Pitney Bowes Inc. The new buildings feature 402 rental residences situated in adjoining nine-and twelve-story towers connected by an expansive outdoor pool and sundeck.
