Waterfront land on Connecticut’s Gold Coast rarely comes available, and parcels with the scale and setting of Shippan Point come along even less often. On a stretch of coastline in Stamford that developers describe as impossible to recreate under today’s zoning, Sun Homes has partnered with Hudson Bay Capital to build The Caspian, a new collection of 63 luxury condominium residences set directly on Long Island Sound.
What distinguishes The Caspian from the usual new-construction pitch is the combination of setting and access: a private marina and resort-style amenities on one side, and an easy Metro-North commute into Manhattan on the other. Full details are still emerging as the project moves through Connecticut’s required offering process, but the early plans point to a community built for buyers who want a genuine waterfront lifestyle without giving up proximity to the city. Interested buyers can follow the project’s progress at The Caspian’s official site.
What is The Caspian?
The Caspian is a ground-up luxury condominium community rising at 70 Seaview Avenue on Shippan Point, one of Stamford’s most established residential peninsulas. The development reimagines a waterfront site into 63 private residences, each designed to take advantage of panoramic views across the Sound. Rather than a single tower, the plan emphasizes a low-rise, resort-style campus with private outdoor space built into individual units, an on-site marina, and shared indoor and outdoor amenity spaces meant to function as an extension of each home rather than an afterthought.
Shippan Point itself is part of what makes the location notable. The peninsula has long been one of Stamford’s most established residential enclaves, known for its quiet, low-density streets and direct water exposure on three sides. Large-scale new development on a site like this is rare precisely because so little land in the neighborhood changes hands, let alone becomes available for ground-up construction — which is part of why Sun Homes and Hudson Bay Capital describe the opportunity as one that could not be recreated under current coastal regulations.
Key features / What stands out
Direct Long Island Sound frontage
Unlike most new residential projects in Fairfield County, The Caspian sits directly on the water rather than near it, giving every resident meaningful proximity to the shoreline and panoramic Sound views.

Architecture by ODA
The design comes from ODA, a firm recognized for contemporary residential work that balances bold massing with livability — a pairing that suits a waterfront site where light, views and outdoor connection matter as much as square footage.
A 57-slip private marina
Few condominium communities in the region offer direct, on-site boating access. The Caspian’s 57-slip marina turns waterfront living from a view into an everyday amenity for residents who sail, boat or simply want dock access steps from home.
Resort-style indoor and outdoor amenities
Beyond the marina, the development is planned around shared amenity spaces designed to mirror a resort experience — an approach increasingly common in luxury new construction but still relatively rare on a true waterfront parcel.
A commuter-friendly address
Shippan Point is a short distance from Downtown Stamford, where Metro-North’s express service offers a practical route into Manhattan, making The Caspian realistic for buyers who need the city for work but want the coast for everything else.
Who it’s for
The Caspian is aimed squarely at buyers prioritizing a true waterfront address — whether as a primary residence, a weekend retreat from New York, or a long-term downsize from a larger coastal property. Boaters and sailors will find particular appeal in the private marina, while professionals who split time between Fairfield County and Manhattan will benefit from Stamford’s express rail access. Because the project is still in its pre-sales phase, it’s also well suited to buyers comfortable reserving early access through a developer’s VIP list in exchange for priority placement once pricing and floor plans are released.
It’s also worth noting who the project is less suited for. Buyers who want to move in immediately, or who need finalized floor plans and pricing today, will need patience, since the formal offering documents required under Connecticut law are still being finalized ahead of the Spring 2027 sales gallery opening. For buyers willing to plan a purchase over the next one to two years, though, that runway is an advantage rather than a drawback — it allows time to track unit releases and select a residence suited to a specific budget and layout preference before the broader market catches on.
What makes it worth considering
The strongest argument for The Caspian is scarcity: waterfront parcels of this size on Shippan Point are not being created again, and the combination of a private marina, resort-style amenities and ODA’s architectural involvement sets a high bar for new coastal development in the market. With the sales gallery targeted for Spring 2027, early interest through the VIP list is currently the most direct way for prospective buyers to stay ahead of pricing and unit releases as the project’s public offering materials become available. For buyers who have been waiting for a genuinely new waterfront option in Fairfield County rather than a renovated older building, The Caspian is one of the more significant projects to watch.
Verdict
The Caspian pairs a rare, irreplaceable waterfront setting with thoughtful design and a commuter-friendly location, making it one of the more promising new luxury communities taking shape on Connecticut’s coast — and a project worth tracking closely as more details emerge ahead of its 2027 sales launch.
