The iconic former WWE headquarters in Stamford is officially set for a major glow-upand this time, its not about wrestling.
According to the Stamford Advocate, New plans have been filed with the citys Land Use Bureau to redevelop the now-vacant building at 1241 E. Main Streetonce known as Titan Towersinto 84 upscale apartment units. The four-story structure, which served as WWEs global headquarters for over three decades, will be getting a complete makeover courtesy of MB Financial Group, the real estate firm that scooped up the property in January for $3.75 million.
Attorney Lisa Feinberg, who represents the developers, said the project fits perfectly with the citys evolving vision:
The redesign will include a new limestone and aluminum exterior, while preserving the buildings original curtain glass wall. Inside, the transformation includes a game room, fitness center, co-working space, pool, terrace, and rooftop deck, all aimed at attracting high-end tenants.
And theres moredevelopers plan to add landscaping improvements and eliminate 203 of the buildings 318 parking spots, leaving 115 spaces total. The goal? A sleek residential footprint with minimal disruption to the areas look.
Six units are planned as below-market rate, though the developers have also left the door open to opt out of that by paying a fee into the citys affordable housing fund instead.
WWE officially moved out of the building earlier this year, relocating to downtown Stamford and removing the giant red logo that had long been visible to I-95 commuters. The East Main property was built in 1981 and became synonymous with wrestlings global expansion in the 90s and 2000s under Vince McMahon.
