Vela's penthouse residences are defined by architectural scale. By prioritizing vertical volume and expansive glass, these residences offer a high-rise living experience that feels fundamentally different from a standard apartment.
The Architectural Differentiators
- Floor-to-Ceiling, Wall-to-Wall Windows: In many of the primary living spaces, the glass spans the entire perimeter, creating a seamless connection to the horizon.
- Elevated Ceilings: The increased height creates an airy, open volume that maximizes the natural light pouring in through the glass surrounds.
- Indoor-Outdoor Transition: Each penthouse features a private terrace or balcony, extending your living space into the open air.
Interior Finishes & Technical Specs
The design is grounded by Secoya plank flooring and a suite of modern, high-performance features:
- Kitchens: Built for chef-ready functionality, with convenient prep islands, quartz countertops, and GE stainless steel appliances (including gas ranges). Details include deep stainless steel sinks with goose-neck features and premium cabinets with under-cabinet lights.
- Baths: Feature custom vanities, glass showers, and gorgeous tile surrounds complemented by luxury fixtures, finishes, and lighting.
- Utilities: A private resident entrance, Schlage keyless entry, and guest video intercom ensure secure access. All units are wired for internet speeds as fast as 1 Gig and include a Bosch full-size, stackable washer and dryer.
- Storage: Generous closets are found throughout, with walk-in closets available in select floor plans.
At a Glance: High-Rise Living
- Unrivaled Views: Sweeping, unobstructed vistas of the Long Island Sound, Mill River Park, and the Manhattan skyline.
- The Location: A central downtown Stamford address that overlooks the park while remaining steps away from the city's best dining and transit.
- The Design: A minimalist, modern aesthetic where the architecture—specifically the glass and height—is the main event.
Unique Amenities & Connectivity
While our luxe penthouse apartments provide a private sanctuary, they also grant full access to the curated community spaces at Vela:

- Wellness & Social Spaces: A 24/7 fitness center and yoga studio, a solarium with reading nooks, and a resident lounge with a java station and billiards.
- Pet-Friendly Living: Specialized amenities including a dedicated pet spa and dog wash station.
- Effortless Commute: Located just an 11-minute walk from the Stamford Metro-North station, residents can reach Manhattan’s Grand Central in approximately 50 minutes via express service, offering the perfect balance between city access and coastal serenity.
