Harbor Point is a redevelopment located in the South End of Stamford, Connecticut, United States, in southwestern Fairfield County. Harbor Point is a transit-oriented,^{[citation needed]} mixed-use development near the Stamford Transportation Center on Long Island Sound, which includes approximately 2,750 new housing units as of January 2021, with plans for 4,000 total units.^[1] The development also includes office buildings,^[2] restaurants,^[2] parks,^[3] and a boardwalk.^[3]

It is made up of five distinct areas, each centered on a park or waterfront feature.^{[citation needed]} The Stamford Advocate has called it "reportedly one of the largest redevelopment projects in the nation" and "the city’s fastest-changing neighborhood".^[1]

While the redevelopment has drawn praise from many in the city for revitalizing what was once a declining industrial neighborhood, a number of South End residents have raised concerns about its displacement of long-time residents and smaller businesses, large property acquisitions by developers, and the proliferation of short-term residents characteristic of gentrification.^[1]
