Seth Weinstein, principal of Hannah Real Estate Investors and his partners Paxton and Ray Kinol of Stillwater Investment Management and Steven Wise of Summer Partners, LLC, have sold a medical condominium at their award-winning property, The Metropolitan. Â Stamford pediatrician, Dr. Haydee Lancman purchased the 2,000 s/f medical suite for $714,500 located on the ground floor of The Metropolitan after an extensive search for a facility that would not only allow her to expand her practice, but also welcome patients in a superb location.
Weinstein worked closely with Dr. Lancman on both the terms of the purchase and on the design of the medical condominium. Â Perkins Eastman, the project architects for The Metropolitan, were engaged to develop the design. Â
"Dr. Lancman is a highly regarded professional in her field and a highly discerning individual. Â We are, of course, honored she chose The Metropolitan as the best location for her private practice," said Weinstein.
"With my patients coming from Stamford and the surrounding areas, opening my practice at The Metropolitan was a wonderful choice for me," said Dr. Lancman. Â "The central location in the heart of downtown Stamford, and the overall aesthetic of the building were extremely appealing. Working with Mr. Weinstein was a pleasure." Â
As visually stimulating as it is appealing to her pediatric patients, Dr. Lancman chose beautiful bold colors to create an uplifting environment. Â Examining rooms decorated in rich shades of blue, green and yellow complement the colors of the waiting room and reception area.
Dr. Lancman has been practicing pediatrics for almost 20 years. Â She graduated from the Facultad DE Medicina Universidad DE Buenos Aires with an MD. Â She is affiliated with Stamford Hospital and is a former Assistant Professor at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City. Â Dr. Lancman recently extended her pediatric services as a medical provider by assisting the Community Health Network of Connecticut (CHNCT) with her valuable input and support on improving EPSDT/well-care visits among the adolescent population. Â In her practice, she strives to encourage adolescents to come forward and discuss any issues involving their growth. Â She also provides education, within both her practice and the Stamford community, on various issues, such as teen pregnancy, alcohol and drug abuse, and depression.
The Metropolitan offers luxury condominium residences, magnificent penthouse units and Townhomes built adjacent to the main building.   The building's soft gray stucco, natural copper, and stainless steel façade opens to the modern lobby dressed in stunning metallic tile and glass walls, and Italian cream and gray ceramic floors.  Eight stories above the lobby, the penthouses are The Metropolitan's crown jewels, affording buyers fabulous views through walls of glass, expansive floor plans, and luxurious outdoor private living areas.  Residences this architecturally significant with such commanding views are rare in the Stamford market.
