Driving Downtown - Stamford Connecticut USA - Episode 36.
Starting Point: .
Stamford is a city in Fairfield County, Connecticut, United States. Stamford is home to four Fortune 500 Companies,[2] nine Fortune 1000 Companies, and 13 Courant 100 Companies, as well as numerous divisions of large corporations. This gives Stamford the largest financial district in New York Metro outside New York City itself and one of the largest concentrations of corporations in the nation.
Economy
Among the larger companies with headquarters in Stamford are Vineyard Vines, WWE, Tasty Bite, Pitney Bowes, Gen Re, Frontier Communications, Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide, Crane Co., and Charter Communications. UBS also has its North American headquarters here and its trading floor holds the Guinness World Record as the largest column-less trading floor in the world. The Royal Bank of Scotland moved its North American operations into Stamford in 2009, including its RBS Greenwich Capital subsidiary.[14]
In recent years, many large corporations have moved offices outside of the city due to the high rental cost, including Xerox, MeadWestvaco, International Paper, GE Capital, NBC, and Clairol. The Harbor Point development, located in the South End, is one of the largest private-sector development projects in the United States.[15] Many large retail stores, such as Design within Reach and Fairway Market have moved in, along with multiple hedge funds.
History
In the 1960s and 1970s, Stamford's commercial real estate boomed as corporations relocated from New York City to peripheral areas.[5] A massive urban redevelopment campaign during that time resulted in a downtown with many tall office buildings. The F.D. Rich Co. was the city-designated urban renewal developer of the downtown in an ongoing redevelopment project that was contentious, beginning in the 1960s and continuing through the 1970s. The company put up what was the city's tallest structure, One Landmark Square, at 21 floors high, and the GTE building (now One Stamford Forum), along with the Marriott Hotel, the Stamford Town Center and many of the other downtown office buildings. One Landmark Square has since been dwarfed by the new 35-story Trump Parc condominium tower (topped out), and soon by the 400-foot 39 story Ritz Carlton Hotel and Residences development, another project by the Rich Company in partnership with Cappelli Enterprises.[6] Over the years, other developers have joined in building up the downtown, a process that continued, with breaks during downturns in the economy, through the 1980s, 1990s and into the new century.

History of Stamford, Connecticut / History of towns in United States
Country: United States
State: Connecticut
County: Fairfield
City: Stamford
Stamford was known as Rippowam by the Native American inhabitants to the region, and the very first European settlers to the area also referred to it as such. The name was later changed to Stamford after the town Stamford, Lincolnshire, England. The deed to Stamford was signed on July 1, 1640 between Captain Turner of the New Haven Colony and Chief Ponus. By the 18th century, one of the primary industries of the town was merchandising by water, which was possible due to Stamford's proximity to New York.
In 1692, Stamford was home to a less famous witch trial than the well-known Salem witch trials, which also occurred in 1692. The accusations were less fanatical and smaller-scale but also grew to prominence through gossip and hysterics.
Starting in the late 19th century, New York residents built summer homes on the shoreline, and even back then there were some who moved to Stamford permanently and started commuting to Manhattan by train, although the practice became more popular later. Stamford incorporated as a city in 1893.
In the 1960s and 1970s, Stamford's commercial real estate boomed as corporations relocated from New York City to peripheral areas. A massive urban redevelopment campaign during that time resulted in a downtown with many tall office buildings. The F.D. Rich Co. was the city-designated urban renewal developer of the downtown in an ongoing redevelopment project that was contentious, beginning in the 1960s and continuing through the 1970s. The company put up what was the city's tallest structure, One Landmark Square, at 21 floors high, and the GTE building (now One Stamford Forum), along with the Marriott Hotel, the Stamford Town Center and many of the other downtown office buildings. One Landmark Square has since been dwarfed by the new 35-story Trump Parc condominium tower (topped out), and soon by the 400-foot 39 story Ritz Carlton Hotel and Residences development, another project by the Rich Company in partnership with Cappelli Enterprises. Over the years, other developers have joined in building up the downtown, a process that continued, with breaks during downturns in the economy, through the 1980s, 1990s and into the new century.
Since 2008, an 80-acre mixed-use redevelopment project for the Stamford's Harbor Point neighborhood has added additional growth south of the city's Downtown area. Once complete, the redevelopment will include 6,000,000 square feet (560,000 m2) of new residential, retail, office and hotel space, and a marina. As of July 2012, roughly 900 of the projected 4,000 Harbor Point residential units had been constructed.

Stamford, CT - Why I moved my business here
Stamford has long been known as a financial mecca that many Fortune 500 companies have called home. With a revitalized downtown, the city is currently attracting even more big businesses, many in up-and-coming industries, to the area.
Companies large and small have always found Stamford’s location attractive. Just 30 miles outside of New York City and along major railways and thoroughfares, it’s no wonder Fortune 500 and Fortune 1000 companies, like Gartner, Charter Communications, Deloitte ,Henkel and Vineyard Vines, call Stamford home. Stamford is also one of the largest financial districts outside of New York City, hosting companies like UBS, Price Waterhouse Coopers, Bank of America and Synchrony Financial.
PricewaterhouseCoopers-spelling and I put a comma between Deloitte and Henkel
I would take UBS out as they sold their building and really don’t have a presence much in Stamford now.
Now is the perfect time for businesses to move to Stamford, thanks to the city’s focus on development in recent years. Downtown has seen a boon, with new office and retail space being added alongside the many residential units. Currently the city has more than 7,000,000 square feet of available space, with lease rates on the rising in the city in recent years. The current average rent for Class A office space is $47.47 per square foot.
With a recently-lowered mill rate now below 26, businesses fair better on taxes in Stamford than they do compared to other Connecticut cities. Rental rates for both industrial and retail space in Stamford are favorable, as well. Lease rates for industrial space range from $12 to $15 per square foot. Retail space is as low as $20 a square foot and, in the up-and-coming downtown area, as low as $30 a square foot.
Businesses will find a plentiful workforce in Stamford, as well. With burgeoning campuses in the city, a well-educated workforce is already available. For relocating companies, Stamford is an easy sell to employees, thanks to a vibrant downtown with trendy restaurants, shopping and entertainment options.

Custom Schindler 400A MRL Traction Scenic Elevators - Stamford Town Center - Stamford, CT
My final Stamford upload (cries a little inside). I know, I've been procrastinating this upload for a while, but it's here. Also, this is to commemorate the start of my 7th year of filming elevators which was on June 14th.
Here we have two Schindler 400A MRL traction elevators in the 2007 expansion of Stamford Town Center, my very first 400A's (I 'cheated' a little to find my first 400A's, I know) These two elevators serve parking levels 1, 3, 6, 8, 9, and roof, which is locked off. Additionally, they serve the street level entrance, and mall levels 4 and 5. It's a pretty neat system; the elevators transport people directly from the parking and street levels, and dump patrons right into the mall. To top it off, these have a 6000lbs capacity, enabling many customers to be transported at a time. Also, who could forget the scenic view? Even the doors on the parking side allow people to see through! Interestingly enough, I believe these are climate controlled, too. For a reasonably warm day, it's nice walking into a cool elevator. Although other customers may not pay attention to elevators unlike us elevator geeks, it still seems like a sense of luxury for other customers.
The two elevators seem to run well, although they may be a little glitchy. Right when I started recording the first part, somehow I was transported up to 8. However, nobody was waiting. Not sure why this happened. I haven't noticed any other major problems with the system, so that's good.
For a custom install, there's a whole assortment of fixtures in here. For the hall fixtures, there's Adams survivor. Inside, there's EPCO WGH, and for the external indicators, there's EPCO OIP. To top it off, there's the standard Schindler 400A chimes, and voice.
LOCATION INFO:
The elevators here are in the 2007 expansion of the shopping center. This expansion replaces an anchor store that was built for and operated as JCPenney with the mall's original opening. In 1996, it was handed over to Filene's, who operated it until 2006, when the May buyout happened (many Filene's locations became Macy's). As the shopping center already had a Macy's, the anchor store was demolished, and this expansion was put in. To give you an idea, the expansion currently holds Barnes and Noble, XXI Forever, and H&M. In addition, there is an outdoor plaza, with various high-end restaurants.
Today, the mall serves as a major shopping destination for the city. There's three levels of shopping, and the mall is anchored by Macy's, Barnes and Noble, and soon to be Saks Off 5th. This mall attracts people from not only the Fairfield County region of Connecticut, but many people from the New York Metropolitan area as well (you might have seen videos of this place from some of these people). To give you an idea, this part of Connecticut is not only part of New England, but also part of the NY Metropolitan area.

*TRIVIA; The very first elevators I have filmed in Fairfield County, Connecticut. I've uploaded everything else first, but these were the first to film. Also, the Western-Most elevators I have filmed not only in the state of Connecticut, but in ALL of New England. Think about that for a few minutes.
