Fairfield County Bank opens 4,000 s/f branch at Eastside Commons

Fairfield County Bank officials were joined recently by Stamford mayor Dannel Malloy, project developers Seth Weinstein, principal of Hannah Real Estate Investors, his partners Paxton and Ray Kinol of Stillwater Investment Management, and city and community leaders at a ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate the opening of Stamford's first Fairfield County Bank. Fairfield County Bank occupies 4,000 s/f of the ground-level 15,000 s/f commercial/retail space at Eastside Commons, located at 850 East Main St. between Lafayette St. and Quintard Terrace. "We are proud to participate in the opening of Stamford's first Fairfield County Bank at Eastside Commons," said Weinstein, "and to be associated with this financially stable regional bank that, like our company, has a strong balance sheet and is developing strategically, even in the face of the current recession. We are delighted to bring this successful and growing bank into our neighborhood." Fairfield County Bank offers a drive-through, automatic teller machines and banking services at this location. The bank accommodates customers with 12 designated parking spaces and a front entry for pedestrian customers on East Main St. (U.S. Rte. 1). Eastside Commons incorporates 108 new luxury condominium residences that represent a great value at reasonable prices. Residents enjoy concierge service, a private fitness center, clubroom, and private landscaped courtyard with gas barbecue grills and seating areas over sheltered parking and the street-level commercial/retail space. Eastside Commons is within two blocks of I-95 and a mile of the Metro-North Train Station that provides express commuter train service to New York City. The remaining 11,000 s/f of retail space at Eastside Commons offers direct frontage on East Main St. and is extremely flexible in design to accommodate one or more retail tenants. The portion that corners East Main St. and Quintard Terrace offers an outdoor patio of nearly 2,000 s/f that would be ideal for restaurant use as an outdoor café-style dining area.
