Charter Oak Communities broke ground Aug. 14 at the former Vidal Court site in Stamford.
Greenfield is the third phase of the Vidal Court revitalization, which features replacement of a 216-unit rental apartment complex developed in 1955.
Of Greenfield’s 45 mixed-income housing units, 27 will be rented to low- or moderate-income households and be designated as replacement housing for Vidal Court. The remaining 18 units will be designated for market-rate households.
