Norwalk, Connecticut Mar 26, 2021 (Issuewire.com) - Harbourside SoNo, a new 6 story 129-unit luxury apartment community, that opened for occupancy in January of 2021, is celebrating the hanging of its iconic SONO wall sculpture featuring four letters that are each 5 feet tall and 4.5 feet wide, spanning over 40 feet in vertical height. This custom art piece was designed by the project developer, Thomas L. Rich, and fabricated by John Malagisi and his team (pictured below) of Sign Design, Inc. Mr. Rich stated that...“I was bothered by the height and width of what would have been a large blank north-facing wall along Water Street where windows were not an option and it struck me that it would be an ideal location for an iconic art installation. The final design not only identifies the neighborhood but the colors and patterns on each letter correspond to their nautical alphabet signal flag counterpart giving a nod to the area's long time maritime history.” Mr. Rich further added...”I hope it becomes an iconic image for Norwalk much like the CITGO sign near Fenway Park in Boston or the famous DOMINO SUGAR piece which for almost a century was a dominant feature along the East River in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, NY facing Manhattan”.
Special approval was granted by the Norwalk Zoning Board of Appeals. The installation is scheduled for Tuesday, March 30th, 2021, and will highlight the historic district of South Norwalk which is affectionately referred to as SONO.
Located at 123 Water Street in South Norwalk, CT, Harbourside SoNo is only a short walk to area marinas, Washington Street’s vibrant retail and restaurant scene, the South Norwalk train station, the SoNo Collection Mall featuring Nordstrom’s and Bloomingdale’s, and the 35-acre Veteran’s Memorial Park & Marina. The project was conceptualized by the F. D. Rich Company but was jointly developed by Rich, Fuller Development, and Spinnaker Real Estate Partners. The distinctive building was designed by Beinfield Architecture and brought to life by Gooding Architecture, two firms that have contributed greatly to the growing Norwalk, CT skyline. Harbourside SoNo features an expansive amenity package including Norwalk’s only rooftop pool with panoramic harbor and LI Sound views, alfresco dining areas with grills and fire pits, a rooftop party room with fireplace and catering kitchen, a club room with an adjacent outdoor terrace, a resident lounge with entertaining kitchen and billiards table, a state of the art fitness center with attached yoga studio with Fitness On DemandTM, a private conference room and plentiful on-site parking with electric vehicle charging stations. Apartment types range from beautiful Jr. 1 bedrooms to spacious 2 bedrooms + den. There are on-site personnel and bike storage. The community is “smoke-free” and “pet-friendly” featuring a private dog-run along the perimeter of the property. The project also features 4,000 square feet of ground floor office/retail space for lease fronting on Water Street. Project financing was supplied by M& T Bank.
