Erland Construction Inc.The entire New Haven to Stamford area is active and appears to be becoming an extension of New York City, Greene says. "In particular, we are seeing buildings that put 'heads on beds' as the hottest market," he adds. This includes large apartment buildings such as Morgan Lofts, a 175-unit building in Stamford that is scheduled to begin work early next year.
Greene expects to see more residential projects in Stamford and a hotel in Fairfield County. A large mixed-use project is also planned for Bridgeport, he says.
