Stamford Realtors were told that there are still an additional 2800 units of housing that have been approved downtown for future development. High speed Inter-City Rail and High Speed Inter City Light Rail are also on the planning boards. The downtown transportation center would then become the new center of downtown. If and when the Harbor Point Development is completed, Stamford would once again become a waterfront city.
