Building and Land Technologies leases 728 s/f at Harbor Point

According to Building and Land Technology, the developer of Harbor Point, the 80-acre mixed-use waterfront community, Robeks Premium Fruit Smoothies has been added to their growing list of retailers. Robeks will occupy 728 s/f of space at 711 Canal St., across from the Fairway Market and next to Go Green Dry Cleaners. An opening is planned for mid-summer. Los Angeles-based Robeks, first in the industry to offer acai, pomegranate and certain varieties of Brazilian superfruits, will bring a wholesome selection of fruit smoothies, fresh-squeezed veggie juices, soft serve yogurt, sandwiches, wraps and salads to the Yale and Towne section of Harbor Point. Robeks will also offer catering for office meetings, breakfast or lunch. Wilton resident Katrina Bickford, regional director for Robeks in Connecticut and Southeast New York, will be the franchise store partner at Harbor Point, along with Sharon Spelling, a Stamford resident and franchise owner of the High Ridge Rd. store. "Robeks is so excited to be an integral part of the growing community at Harbor Point," said Bickford. "It's a stunning location and is quickly becoming an attractive destination for shopping, dining, recreation and living." Carl Kuehner, III, chairman and CEO of Building and Land Technology, said, "We're delighted to have Robeks join our Harbor Point neighborhood." Robeks serves more than seven million guests annually throughout its franchise system of 130 stores in 17 states and Washington, D.C. Of the eight Robeks stores currently located in this region two are in Stamford - at the Ridgeway Shopping Center on Summer St. and the High Ridge Shopping Center on High Ridge Rd. Along with the store in Westport and Fairfield, these shops are among Robeks top ten producing stores in the country. Recognizing an opportunity that stood silent for decades, Harbor Point is an unprecedented vision of the Stamford waterfront. The project includes six million s/f of mixed-use development: 85% residential (4,000 residential units, 10% of which is affordable housing); 15% commercial. As a Gold Certified LEED-ND development, Harbor Point also leads the way in environmental design and construction.
