OTB at Bobby V’s

IS DANBURY NEXT?

activity in the first quarter.

The county’s office availability rate climbed to 27.1 percent in the recently ended quarter, a 5.7 percent increase from the second quarter of 2016 and a new peak for the Fairfield market, according to NKF researchers.

Through the first six months of this year, gross leasing activity totaled 1.8 million square feet, a 21.7 percent leap from the first half of 2016, according to NKF. Lease renewals accounted for 950,000 square feet of that total, nearly double the level of renewals in the same period last year. Sublease deals accounted for nearly 150,000 square feet of office space

he new Bobby V’s Restaurant & Sports Bar opened July 12 at 268 Atlantic St. in Stamford, not far from the site at 225 Main St. that it called home for 37 years.

And the world did not end.

Pardon the hyperbole, but as the new Bobby V’s features an off-track betting facility, emotions can run high.

Concerns about gambling and preconceptions about the stereotypically disreputable people who patronize OTB parlors, in addition to unforeseen construction-related matters, contributed to delays in the opening.

“I totally get it,” said Ted Taylor, president of Sportech Venues, which has exclusive licensing rights to OTB in Connecticut. “People hear ‘OTB’ and they think of the old, dirty, run-down places in New York that you wouldn’t want yourself or your family exposed to.

“But this is different,” said Taylor, who is trying to establish an OTB parlor at Two Steps Downtown Grille in Danbury. “What we’re doing is a mix of an all-ages sports bar that may not have a strict dress code but does have a conduct code. The design has a lot of dark wood, which emphasizes that this is both family-friendly and a cut above your typical sports bar.”

The approximately 30,000-squarefoot building is the second project between Sportech and Stamford-born Bobby Valentine, the former Major League Baseball player and manager who’s also executive director of athletics at Sacred Heart University in Fairfield. The pair also operates a Bobby V’s in Windsor Locks, near Bradley International Airport.

“I ask people to visit us in Windsor Locks to see what it’s like,” Taylor said. “I can talk and talk, but actually seeing it has helped a lot of people understand what

Tale of a racial tragedy inspires a black Bridgeport entrepreneur

O

n May 31, 1921, the city of Tulsa, Oklahoma, was engulfed in one of the bloodiest race riots in U.S. history. By the time the carnage ended the next day, the Red Cross estimated there were 300 fatalities, more than 10,000 people left homeless and more than 1,400 homes that were either burned or looted.

The greatest damage occurred in the Greenwood section of Tulsa, an AfricanAmerican community that was dubbed “Black Wall Street” because it offered a surplus of successful black-owned businesses and was home to the city’s most prominent African-American legal and medical professionals and entrepreneurs. Nearly 200 businesses were destroyed there in the riot, along with several churches, a school and a hospital.

For many decades, the story of Black Wall Street and the Tulsa race riot was mostly forgotten. Eldorado Anderson, a 37-year-old educational administrator and the owner of DreamLifeWorks LLC, an event production company in Bridgeport, only learned of the event three years ago when he picked up a copy of Scott Ellsworth’s critically acclaimed book, “Death in a Promised Land.”

“This is something I knew nothing about,” Anderson said. “I was so taken away: there were over 600 businesses in Tulsa, which was once the biggest, booming black neighborhood in the country.”

A Bridgeport native and graduate of Virginia State University, Anderson is dean of students at Great Oaks Charter School in Bridgeport and previously served in the same post at the now-closed Domus Academy in New Haven. The story of the social and economic success that Tulsa’s African-American population enjoyed in the years before the 1921 tragedy struck a nerve with Anderson, who believed that he could recreate that entrepreneurial spirit in his home town. In 2014, he launched Black Wall Street Bridgeport, an event marketing platform designed to showcase minority businesses while providing educational outreach to people of color seeking to work for themselves.

In his first event in the fall of 2014, Anderson produced a one-day street festival for local black-owned businesses to display their products and services. “In the first event, we had 31 entrepreneurs,” he recalled.

“Fast forward to now and we are expecting 180 vendors for Black Wall Street 5, which is taking place on September 3 at the Cathedral of the Holy Spirit in Bridgeport.”

The Black Wall Street Bridgeport platform consists of three events: the main show-

Eldorado Anderson with the book that inspired him to launch his Bridgeport enterprise.

case held in late summer, a Christmas season edition focusing on holiday-related products from local vendors and a spring edition that highlights the work of women entrepreneurs. While participation in these events is growing, Anderson said that most of the events’ vendors still maintain their day jobs while running their entrepreneurial endeavors on the side.

“I think we are at the beginning stages,” he said optimistically. “Since the inception of Black Wall Street Bridgeport, I’ve seen five or six people leave their jobs and take on entrepreneurship full time. I am not going to say it is solely because of Black Wall Street, but I think that the enthusiasm in working for yourself has increased.”

Anderson has seen some business owners launch their enterprises with more enthusiasm than focus and planning. “I’ve seen businesses start and fold within three to six months,” he said. “The main mistakes involve not having enough money to pay for unexpected costs and not recognizing that just because it is a great idea doesn’t mean it is going to work. But, on the other hand, I’ve seen more people take proactive approaches and involve other partners in joint business ventures.”

Anderson practices what he preaches with respect to budgeting and teamwork. He works from his Bridgeport home along with his fiancé and his sister.

Aware that Black Wall Street vendors are working on tight budgets, he charges $75 for booth space at his event. He considers that a bargain fee when compared with similar black business expositions in major cities, where booth space can begin at $400 or more. Food trucks are charged $150 to participate in Black Wall Street. He said his company generates additional revenue from advertising and marketing promotions tied to the events.

“I want to be able to include as many

Week of July 24, 2017 • FAIRFIELD COUNTY BUSINESS JOURNAL

people to participate as possible,” he said.

Anderson observed that many adults considering entrepreneurship have no prior educational training in business, marketing or management, which puts them at an initial disadvantage. To ensure that does not befall a future generation of entrepreneurs, he plans to launch a Black Wall Street Educational Academy next year.

“It will have a six-week summer run for kids in grades six through eight. We will have various business owners come in talk to about what they do and how they do it,” he said. “At least once a week, we will visit local businesses. And at the end of the academy, there will be a children’s expo where the students can display their products. Right now, kids between five and 17 can get free booths at the main Black Wall Street event.”

If Anderson has any serious disappointment in his work to date, it would be the absence of stronger community support and networking among black-owned businesses and prospective business owners. “My top two sponsors, T-Mobile and (Bridgeport) City Council Member Eneida Martinez, are not African-American,” he said. “They believe in the vision more than some of the people that look like me.”

Anderson, however, did not want his work to create an insulated and self-segregated cocoon of black enterprise in Bridgeport.

Circling back to his historical inspiration, he noted the potential that commerce has in breaking down barriers.

“Many people don’t know that in the original Black Wall Street in Tulsa, it wasn’t just black people doing business with each other,” he said. “It was black and white people that wanted to do business together.

Black Wall Street is not just for a black person — any person who wants to contribute is welcome. The goal is to uplift the entire community and give people the freedom to become entrepreneurs.”

Movies on the marquee, risotto on the menu at Bow Tie Cinemas

BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

F

irst there was television. Then came downloading — legal and otherwise. Now there are streaming services like Netflix, which recently debuted Bong Joon-Ho’s “Okja” on its platform rather than in movie theaters.

The movie industry has met all of these challenges to varying degrees of success, whether through such only-at-the-theater innovations like 3-D and CinemaScope or high-quality digital projection. The latest trend — “optimizing” theaters with plush recliners, alcohol and food well beyond the traditional popcorn-and-Coke fare — has helped both exhibition giants like AMC and independent chains like Alamo Drafthouse to compete in the changed market for popular entertainment.

The latest to join the wave is Bow Tie Cinemas, the family-owned chain based in Ridgefield. Following the Christmas 2016 season, Bow Tie has embarked upon a multimillion-dollar renovation to a pair of its Norwalk movie theaters, with more on the way.

“Our customers have been looking for more and more amenities,” said Bow Tie

Chief Operating Officer Joseph Masher. “It’s a trend that has been gaining momentum across the nation and we’re happy to finally be bringing it to Connecticut.”

Bow Tie is nearing completion of top-tobottom renovations of its Regent 8 at 64 N. Main St. in South Norwalk and at Royale 6 at 542 Westport Ave. in Norwalk. Masher said about half of the auditoriums at each theater have already been refurbished. Reserved luxury recliner seating has been installed as well as new lobbies, concession stands and restrooms.

In addition to traditional movie theater snacks, the new Bow Tie Ultimate menu will feature such items as fresh-baked artisanal pizza; three-cheese macaroni and cheese; chicken and waffles; eggplant parmesan fries; Philly cheesesteak egg rolls; chicken parmesan and Buffalo chicken heroes; grilled cheese on Texas toast; loaded nachos; and “health bowl” options like Monterey risotto and Southwest chipotle with fresh vegetables and whole grains.

Bar service includes spirits and cocktails made to order, along with a local craft beer selection, a variety of wine choices and Bow Tie specialty cocktails such as seasonal sangria, mojitos and the branded Bow Tai. “It’s a mai tai,” Masher said with a laugh.

Bow Tie Cinemas is adding recliner seating with meal trays as it upgrades its theaters in Fairfield County.

Masher said the new fare — all made inhouse — was designed to be easily enjoyed from the comfort of an in-seat table, with orders delivered before the screening begins.

“We don’t want to disrupt the movie viewing experience,” he said. “All of our menu items will be available throughout the movie, but you’ll have to go to the lobby to get it if the movie’s already playing.”

Prices for Bow Tie Ultimate menu items range from $4.50 to $12. Jack & Harry’s gourmet popcorn will continue to be popped fresh and offered in caramel, cheddar and

other seasonal varieties.

Masher said ticket prices will remain the same at the theaters, despite the company’s loss of about 40 percent of theater seats as a result of the renovations. The expectation is that the added amenities and higher concession costs will more than make up the difference, he said.

Bow Tie plans to begin renovations at its Marquis 16 in Trumbull after Labor Day, and will do the same to a pair of theaters in Annapolis, Maryland, this year. A new ultimate theater will be built in Troy in upstate New York and additional renovations are expected to be made in other Bow Tie theaters around the country next year.

Bow Tie Cinemas, which traces its roots in the American entertainment industry to 1900, operates 267 screens at 42 locations in six states. Masher said each multiplex employs between 50 and 65 people.

“The busy lifestyle led by today’s entertainment consumers often forces a choice between seeing a movie and having a great meal and a cocktail,” said Bow Tie CEO Ben Moss, great-grandson of the founder of his family’s original nickelodeon and vaudeville company, B.S. Moss Enterprises. “We’re delighted to be the first to offer it anywhere in Fairfield County.”

donations will be matched dollar for dollar.

“We believe the ongoing education of our entire staff is essential to high-quality care at Norwalk Hospital and across our Network,” said John M. Murphy, WCHN’s president and CEO. “This project will modernize our teaching and learning facilities to keep pace with new technology and clinical advancements. It will also enable us to combine the latest in life-saving technologies with the medical expertise and personalized care the community has come to rely upon.”

The McGraw Family Center will be the second major gift to Norwalk Hospital from the McGraw family, which offered a $10 million gift in 2015 to construct the hospital’s Anne P. and Harold W. McGraw Jr. Center.

estern Connecticut Health Network (WCHN) has announced that the McGraw family of Darien, founders of the McGraw-Hill publishing company, has pledged up to $3 million in a challenge gift to establish the McGraw Family Center for Advanced Learning at Norwalk Hospital.

The hospital set a fundraising goal of $5 million for this project, which will feature a modern health science library, medical simulation facilities and dedicated space for group and distance learning.

State union workers approve concessions

BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

T

he State Employee Bargaining Agent Coalition announced on July 18 that its union members voted overwhelmingly in favor of granting concessions as part of a deal that could have a significant positive impact on Connecticut’s budget crisis.

SEBAC said that more than 80 percent

of votes cast were in favor of accepting the concessions, which include wage freezes and increasing personal contributions to health and pension funds.

“This agreement contains significant short-term savings that will be the foundation of a responsible, balanced budget,” said Gov. Dannel Malloy, whose administration worked with the unions to hammer out the deal.

“More importantly,” he added, “the agreement delivers over $20 billion in savings to taxpayers over the long term and ensures that the promises we make to our employees today are promises that we can afford to keep. They agreed to historic concessions that will put the state on a sustainable path.”

Malloy had announced a tentative agreement with the unions in June.

In the short term, the concessions are estimated to save the state $1.57 billion over two years. However, the agreement now goes to the state legislature, where Republicans have said they plan to reject it.

“State unions held up their end of the bargain — negotiating in good faith, leading their members through some tough changes and ultimately rallying their members,” Malloy said. “Now it’s up to the legislature to do their part and approve this agreement. We will continue to be available to meet with any legislator who may have questions about the value and significance of this agreement.”

“Lawmakers must hold a vote on the SEBAC deal as soon as possible,” stated

Senate President Pro Tempore Len Fasano (R-North Haven). “This should occur irrespective of Democrats having a budget to vote on or not. The sole question before us is whether or not the SEBAC deal as a standalone item is good for the state of Connecticut, and lawmakers need to answer that question before they build it into any budget.

“From what I see today,” Fasano continued, “the labor deal is not an appropriate solution for our state’s financial crisis, which is why I will continue to advocate for the Senate Republican alternative proposal, which does not require the SEBAC deal be approved to achieve the savings we’ve identified, as they could all be achieved through legislative action alone.”

Under the agreement, members of unions that agreed to a three-year pay freeze and three furlough days per worker would be exempted from layoffs for the next four years. The deal would also double pension contributions for most workers, create a hybrid pension/defined-contribution plan for future employees, increase health care co-payments and premiums, require active workers to contribute more toward their retirement health care benefit and reduce health care benefits for existing retirees.

The concessions involving health coverage, pensions and other benefits will be decided collectively by the 16-union labor coalition.

The changes, if ratified, would affect all of the roughly 46,000 unionized state employees.

Leases — » » From page 1

through the first two quarters, more than double the subleasing activity in the first half of 2016.

New leases through June this year were down 23.5 percent from a year ago, according to NKF. Avison Young reported a 9.5 percent decline in leasing activity in the second quarter compared with the first three months of this year.

The county’s office market saw a positive net absorption of 148,467 square feet of space in the second quarter, according to Avison Young, after 186,870 square feet was added to the market in the first quarter this year.

Avison Young researchers attributed a 1.76 percent year-over-year rise in the average second-quarter rental rate to increased asking rents by office landlords in downtown Greenwich and Stamford.

The brokerage said the county’s vacan-

cy rate — which measures available space being actively marketed — rose to 17.8 percent in the second quarter, up 160 basis points, or 1.6 percent, from the second quarter of 2016. That was the highest yearover-year basis point increase in the market since 2012, according to Avison Young.

“We have one of the highest vacancy rates in the country for office space,” said Tula Voutieros, research analyst at Avison Young’s Norwalk office. “Clearly, that is a signal that the marketplace has changed and user needs have changed.”

Both NKF and Avison Young cited Blue Sky Studios’ renewal of its approximately 146,800-square-foot headquarters at One American Lane in Greenwich as the second quarter’s largest lease deal.

In the quarter’s largest sublease deal, Daymon Worldwide, a private-brand retail services company, signed at 333 Ludlow St. in Stamford for an office space reported as 41,464 square feet by NKF and as 44,196 square feet by Avison Young.

Tracking the county’s largest new leases in the second quarter, Avison Young

cited Western CT Home Care’s lease on a 16,283-square-foot space at 100 Saw Mill Road in Fairfield. NFK reported the top new deals as Gemspring Capital’s 13,100-squarefoot least at 54 Wilton Road in Wilton and Fusion Learning’s 10,622-square-foot lease at 777 Commerce Drive in Fairfield.

Greg Frisoli, executive managing director at Newmark Knight Frank’s Stamford office, predicted that more diverse deals could be coming soon to the county. “For the major leasing in the first half, there was a lot of stay-in-place activity,” he said.

“We have not seen a tremendous amount of expansion and new tenants coming in, but we could see more of that by year end.”

Avison Young noted the limited availability in the county for contiguous space of 100,000 square feet and higher and said the market could see “a rapid dwindling of space to meet demand from large prospective users.”

The brokerage also forecast continued uneasiness in the medical office sector due to uncertainty about the Affordable Care Act and Republican efforts to dismantle it.

we’re doing.”

One such person was Sandy Goldstein, president of Stamford’s Downtown Special Services District.

“A lot of people here had concerns about whether the new Bobby V’s would be a secure, quality type of environment — or something else,” Goldstein said. “After we went to Windsor Locks, we were able to tell our board of representatives that what Sportech and Bobby V’s were promising looked to be true.”

“They’ve invested millions of dollars on a quality, high-end establishment that’s in good taste,” she said. “We needed something that could be a strong base on the southern end of Atlantic Street and now we have it.”

Another concerned party was Monsignor Stephen DiGiovanni of The Basilica of St. John the Evangelist, located across the street from the new sports bar.

“In my 19 years here, we had two bars across the street and all kinds of issues,” DiGiovanni said. “The police were called several times. There were brawls and empty bottles on the street and on my property.”

This time, he said, “Whether it was Bobby or anybody else, I wanted to make sure that wasn’t repeated.”

The monsignor and Taylor said they had signed a legal document whereby Bobby V’s will maintain a mutually acceptable level of security and responsibility.

“I’m taking them at their word and I believe them,” DiGiovanni said. “Bobby’s smart enough to know that he doesn’t want to mess around and screw up downtown Stamford.”

Taylor said that Bobby V’s can accommodate 360 people on its ground floor, which is dominated by a wall of TV screens behind its spacious bar. In all, the establishment has about 205 TVs, Taylor said. Tables are made of dark wood, including two-seaters hewed from large tree trunks. A separate conference/ party room can comfortably hold up to 22, he said. A takeout window will soon

also be available.

The OTB operation upstairs has a capacity of 270, with a dedicated section of individual carrels with small TV screens and a device into which a patron enters a PIN to make wagers. Similar mobile devices are also available for tables; food is transferred to waitstaff from the downstairs kitchen via dumbwaiters. Only the customers themselves can place bets, Taylor said.

The setup will be essentially copied at Two Steps Downtown Grille, a longtime fixture at 5 Ives St. in Danbury, should that venture between Sportech and Two Steps owner Tom Devine be approved.

And the continued trend among developers to adapt aging and underutilized office buildings for new uses could contribute to more shrinkage in office inventory.

Voutieros said she thinks the market will see stirrings of improvement in the coming months. “The slowing has slowed,” she said. “We’re hoping some transactions will transpire. We could see a little bit of a flight to quality for some big users — when market conditions are soft, it is a good opportunity to go into bigger spaces. We might see some tenants moving about and playing musical chairs and we could also see big entrants like we saw Henkel in the fourth quarter (of 2016) — that’s not off the table.”

Frisoli said the county will increasingly see office space incorporated into mixeduse development projects that also include retail and residential space.

“We will see office as a component,” he said. “Right now, we are not seeing new speculative out-of-the-ground office development happening anywhere in Fairfield County.”

Danbury has proven harder to secure than Stamford, due largely to the efforts of Andrea Gartner. Formerly the executive director of CityCenter Danbury, the special taxing district formed by merchants in the late 1980s to attract more people and business to the area, Gartner opened Pour Me Coffee & Wine Café at nearby 247 Main St., and has maintained that OTB is something the city does not need.

“These are the same misconceptions about people who gamble that we’ve seen before,” the British-born Taylor, who now resides in Milford, said at Bobby V’s. “We maintain that it will be a net positive for downtown Danbury.”

Sportech is spending $750,000 to renovate the eatery and has said that it will provide 1.6 percent of its gross revenue to Danbury’s general fund. City officials have estimated that sum could be as much as $100,000 per year.

Following Danbury’s Zoning Commission May 9 vote in favor of allowing OTB in the city, Gartner filed an appeal in Danbury Superior Court. As a result, Sportech has moved through the “re-do” process, with a Zoning Commission public hearing scheduled for July 27.

“I have some ideas that I am formulating as a middle-ground approach, but am not quite at the point of sharing,” Gartner told the Business Journal.

Those in Stamford say their similar concerns have been satisfied.

“People hear ‘OTB’ and think there will be problems,” Goldstein said. “This proves that it doesn’t have to be that way.”

DEALS&DEEDS

STAR INC. LEASING NEW CANAAN SPACE

STAR Inc., Lighting the Way, a Norwalk-based nonprofit agency, has signed an agreement to lease office and program space at 111 Elm St. in downtown New Canaan.

STAR’s long-planned expansion in New Canaan was in response to requests from families and addresses its goal of enhancing its presence and visibility in all towns served as outlined in STAR’s strategic plan.

The recent sale of STAR’s TEC program space that it owned on Washington Street in South Norwalk since the early 1980s was the catalyst needed to spur the reallocation of resources to the new space, according to Executive Director Katie Banzhaf.

“We have been searching tirelessly for space in New Canaan that was fully accessible, publicly visible, affordable and integrated in the heart of the town,” she said.

The new space will be renovated to include new bathrooms for all tenants and a fully accessible bathroom within STAR’s space. Renovations will also include an accessible entrance, some office redesign and installation of a kitchenette. STAR anticipates the renovations to be completed no later than Oct. 1 and hopes to start moving computers, supplies and furnishings in late September.

STAR Inc., Lighting the Way serves individuals of all ages who have intellectual and developmental disabilities such as Down syndrome, people on the autism spectrum and other birth-related challenges, and provides support services to their families.

TUDOR INVESTMENT PLANS SALE, MOVE

Tudor Investment Corp. plans to sell its headquarters in Greenwich to the private Brunswick School across the street from the 43-acre property at 1275 King St., and move to a new office in Fairfield County.

According to an Associated Press report, the deal came about when Brunswick School Headmaster Tom Philip was unexpectedly contacted by his hedge fund neighbor to see if the school would be interested in the property. The building was previously the residence of playwright and Congresswoman Clare Boothe Luce. The terms of the sale were not disclosed. Tudor Investment is seeking a new site closer to the Metro-North Railroad line.

"This change would support easy travel from Manhattan to Connecticut and back in connection with the importance and size of Tudor's Manhattan office and the firm's current recruiting priorities," said Patrick Clifford, a company spokesman.

REMEDY PARTNERS MOVING TO NORWALK

Remedy Partners, a technology and health care management company, has signed a 40,013-square-foot headquarters lease at 800 Connecticut Ave. in Norwalk. The company will be relocating its headquarters from 1120 Boston Post Road in Darien.

The five-story, 412,000-square-foot office property is owned by CBRE Strategic Partners U.S. Value 7, a fund sponsored by CBRE Global Investors, and is also home to Priceline, Match Marketing Group, Media Horizons and Hitachi Capital. David Block and Joseph Weaver of CBRE represented the building ownership in the lease negotiations, while Nicholas DeLuca of NAI Signature Group represented Remedy Partners.

Remedy Partners, according to its website, was incorporated in 2011 and "manages bundled payments programs for managed care, government and providers bearing risk." Its products are used "in partnership with a vast network of hospitals, physician groups, health systems, skilled nursing facilities and home health agencies."

According to commercial real estate broker Avison Young and property owner Shelbourne Global Solutions LLC, the Class A office building is now home to more than a half-dozen law firms and other law-related tenants.

Connecticut Legal Services is the largest legal aid agency in the state. DH White Real Estate Services represented the tenant in the deal.

Avison Young’s Fairfield/Westchester office was named exclusive agent at the property last summer. The broker's Principal and Managing Director Sean Cahill and Vice President Lori Baker were tasked with marketing the 11-story, 215,000-square-foot building in the heart of Bridgeport’s central business district.

Other legal tenants include the Offices of the United States Attorneys; AHC Law; and Ryan, Ryan Deluca, which signed a new long-term lease for 12,351 square feet on the eighth floor of 1000 Lafayette in the spring.

Zeldes Needle Cooper PC, a 30-year tenant, relocated within the building to nearly 16,000 square feet of a newly built space on the seventh floor.

Among the building’s other tenants are Citizens Bank, TD Bank and Regus, an executive office solutions firm.

The property, built in 1989 and renovated in 2012, is GSA-approved and features onsite property management.

BRIEFLY

FEDS WANT MORE SPEED, CAPACITY IN NE CORRIDOR

The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) has outlined proposals for upgrading the Northeast Corridor rail service with an emphasis on speeding up train travel.

The FRA’s Record of Decision (ROD), which concludes the agency's Tier 1 environmental review process, sets the year 2040 as the goal for implementing the improvements. The FRA calls for increasing the number of regional commuter trains and improving travel times between Boston and New York City by 45 minutes and between New York and Washington, D.C., by 35 minutes. The FRA stated that “new segments should be designated for 220 mph operations, unless there are unique or exceptional constraints that justify limiting the highest practical speed.”

The FRA’s plan included the proposed addition of more than 200 miles of “expanded track capacity” connecting Washington and New Haven, as well as connecting Providence, Rhode Island, with Boston. However, the FRA backed away from the proposed construction of new high-speed tracks connecting New Haven and Providence, and instead called for a new study to “identify on- and off-corridor infrastructure to address the capacity constraints, speed restrictions and flooding vulnerability.”

FRA Deputy Administrator Heath Hall said the fiscal realities of government spending will ultimately decide which proposals will move forward. “Given the high cost projections of the recommendations in the NEC ROD and the reality of state budgets, the completion of the Tier 1 study

will enable states to better prioritize which projects to pursue,” Hall said.

Gov. Dannel P. Malloy commended the FRA’s proposals and offered gratitude for the agency’s focus on improving the existing infrastructure. “They have responded directly to requests made by the state of Connecticut to enable significant and necessary investments to address an estimated $38 billion backlog in state-of-good-repair assets, and we thank them for their consideration of our concerns,” he said.

FREE PEOPLE CLOSING GREENWICH STORE

In the wake of the March opening of its store in Westport, apparel retailer brand Free People is closing its Greenwich store at 351 Greenwich Ave. The decision was made to close the Greenwich store due to the larger space available in the Westport locale at 645 Post Road East, according to a company spokesperson. Free People occupies more than 6,000 square feet in Westport.

The retailer, which is part of Urban Outfitters Inc., also has a location at the Danbury Fair Mall.

STEW LEONARD'S RECALLS HOT DOGS

Stew Leonard’s announced that its brand of refrigerated hot dogs is part of a voluntary product recall by Sabrett/Marathon Enterprises, which also included the Sabrett hot dog brand.

The Norwalk-based grocery chain stated that Sabrett/Marathon Enterprises received information from the USDA-Food

Safety and Inspection Services that the products might potentially contain pieces of bone or cartilage. The products in questions have sell-through dates from June 25 through Oct. 6. The recall does not include Stew Leonard’s Naked brand of grass-fed hot dogs.

“The health and safety of Stew Leonard’s customers remains the Leonard family’s top priority,” the company said in a statement, adding that customers who bought the recalled products from the store should return them for a full refund.

WINGS OVER TO LAND IN FAIRFIELD

Wings Over, a delivery and takeout restaurant chain specializing in wings, ribs and sandwiches, is opening its first regional store Aug. 9 at 2075 Black Rock Turnpike in Fairfield.

The restaurant, which has stores in 13 states, will be taking over the space operated by Zazi Mediterranean Grill, which opened last September but closed earlier this summer. That eatery, in turn, took over the space from Muscle Maker Grill, which opened in November 2013 but shut down in less than three years.

The Fairfield location will be the fifth Connecticut location for Wings Over, which has eateries in Bristol, Newington, Storrs and West Hartford.

Stamford's PDC Brands sold for $1.425B Boston-based private equity firm Yellow Wood Partners has completed the $1.425 billion sale of Stamford’s PDC Brands to CVC Capital Partners. Beauty and personal care products company PDC’s portfolio includes such brands as Dr. Teal’s, Cantu, Body Fantasies, BOD Man and Eylure.

The company was acquired by Yellow Wood Partners five years ago. Dana Schmaltz, founding partner of Yellow Wood Partners, said that PDC’s revenues had quadrupled since the acquisition.

New York City-based CVC manages capital on behalf of more than 300 institutional, governmental and private investors worldwide.

ART GALLERY OPENS IN WESTPORT

X.po.zur gallery, Westport’s newest art venue, opened to the public on July 15.

The gallery, at 263 Riverside Ave., is run by Mark Krueger, who previously managed and curated New Haven’s Gallery at EleMar. Krueger also creates art under the name Armando Bertoli, and the opening exhibit included a selection of Bertoli works along with paintings by Estelle Nussbaum.

In opening the gallery, Krueger stated that he wanted the venue to be a participatory gallery to be used by visual, creative, literary and even culinary artists. “While our relationship with established art collectors is more definitive and specialized, our community mission is to create a more complete gallery experience within an interactive framework,” Krueger said.

POP-UP EVENTS PLANNED IN FAIRFIELD COUNTY

Greatest Blaze & Co., a Greenwich-based firewood company, is partnering with the Darien Butcher Shop for a series of pop-up shop events throughout Fairfield County.

As part of the arrangement, Greatest Blaze & Co. will provide its line of premium cooking and firewood and home accessories while the Darien Butcher Shop will provide event hosting, butchery classes and catering services.

“We both love cooking, grilling, gathering friends outside, so our schedule of pit-master events and classes showcasing butchery and cooking skills will expand and enjoyed by all,” said Peter Crawford, owner and general manager of the Darien Butcher Shop.

Separately, Greatest Blaze & Co. announced that it expanded its delivery area for its kiln-dried firewood to residences and businesses beyond its core market in the counties of Fairfield and Westchester to include The Hamptons and other parts of Long Island.

Business travel drives the region’s still lagging hotel market

SPECIAL REPORT

MID YEAR REVIEW: HOSPITALITY, TRAVEL

BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com

A

ndy Warhol once wryly observed, “They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.” The iconic artist’s observation could apply to how the hotel industry in Westchester and Fairfield counties has reacted to economic shifts in its recovery from lean years and lower occupancy rates that stemmed from the Great Recession.

“Demand has been relatively flat in the market of the last several years,” said Mike McNeill, general manager at the Doral Arrowwood Hotel Conference Center in Rye Brook. The hotel recently completed a $4 million renovation project to “refresh” its guest rooms, McNeill said.

Hotel trade here “is not as bad as it had been in the last couple of years,” said Charles Mallory, founder and CEO of Greenwich Hospitality Group. “It is not horrible, but it is not mirroring national trends.”

Nationally, CBRE Hotels has reported travel research showing that hotel demand increased by 2.8 percent in this year’s first quarter. The first-quarter national occupancy rate of 61.1 percent was the highest reported for the quarter in the last 30 years.

Lodging demand is forecast to rise by 2.1 percent nationwide this year from 2016, according to CBRE Hotels.

Many hotels in Fairfield and Westchester attract corporate guests attending conferences in the region or meetings with companies headquartered here. “For the major flag-branded hotels — Hilton, Marriott, Hyatt — their primary source of income is corporate travel,” said Dan Conte, general manager of the Westchester Marriott Hotel in Tarrytown and president of the Westchester Hotel Association. “Tourism is certainly important, but the division between corporate to tourism is a 75 percent to 25 percent split” in hotels’ business.

That division can be a disadvantage to smaller boutique hotels in this market, said Lloyd Nakano, general manager at the 35-room Castle Hotel & Spa in Tarrytown.

“We would love to have much more business clients,” he said. “Sunday through Thursday, we are suffering. But on Friday,

Saturday and holiday eves, we are almost always sold out” with getaway travelers.

In Fairfield County, General Electric’s relocation last year of its corporate headquarters to Boston has had an impact on the hotel industry, said Ronald Antonucci, general manager of the Stamford Marriott Hotel & Spa. “We are still getting some fallout from GE, most definitely,” he said. “We certainly hated to see them go. Companies would be coming to Stamford because they did business with GE, so it is hard to quantify all of the other affiliated business that goes along with it.”

However, GE’s departure has not radically altered the county’s hotel market, according to Anne R. Lloyd-Jones, managing director in the Long Island office of HVS, a hospitality consulting firm.

“Fairfield County is not like some other areas of the country where one or two companies are dominant in terms of hotel demand,” she said. “It is having an effect, but not a dramatic effect. The good thing is that everyone knew they were leaving — it was not like the Baltimore Colts sneaking out overnight. Hotels knew about it in advance and they were able to plan ahead when demand would not be there.”

Conte at the Westchester Marriott noted

that the suburban proximity to New York City, once a main selling point for hotels in the metropolitan region, may be an outdated marketing strategy as the city’s hotel industry adjust to its own imbalance of supply and demand. “Rates are so much lower that it is now more affordable,” he said of the Manhattan hotels.

Lloyd-Jones agreed. “There has been a significant increase in supply over the last three years and it will be continuing for the next two years,” she said of the New York City market. “A lot of that supply is in the limited service/value price category. That does not mean cheap rooms but what people perceive as having a good price value. Now there is so much inventory that Manhattan is more accessible to price-sensitive customers.”

In Fairfield, Greenwich Hospitality Group is marketing luxury accommodations for both business and leisure travel rather than appealing to hotel bargain hunters at its Delamar Greenwich Harbor and Delamar Southport hotels.

“People are seeking out more exceptional places,” said Mallory. “The appeal of humdrum franchise hotels is not as good today. And coming to a 500-room hotel in the middle of downtown Stamford for a weekend getaway is a bit of a tough sell.”

Thomas Madden, Stamford director of economic development, said the city’s 2,700 hotel rooms average from 71 percent to 78 percent in occupancy. Stamford hotels are expected to approach full occupancy next winter with demand related to the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea.

“We are looking forward to the Olympics,” said Madden. “NBC booked out the hotels in February to broadcast Olympics out of Stamford.

More hotels are in the planning and development stages. In Tuckahoe in Westchester County, Bilwin Development this summer is cleaning up the environmentally contaminated site of a former quarry and landfill to make way for a five-story, 153room Marriott Springhill Suites hotel.

Bill Weinberg, principal at Bilwin Development, told the Business Journal last month that he pursued the $31 million project because he believed the county’s hotel market was ripe for more competition. “There is still a great demand,” he said.

“They are all at an extremely high occupancy level.”

Yet McNeill at the Doral Arrowwood had a different view of the market. “I don’t think there is a need for more supply at this time,” he said.

Experiential marketing: Planning events that bring your brand to life

n today’s highly fragmented and technology-driven world, it is harder than ever to engage with consumers in a meaningful way. Catching and holding one’s interest with visually driven and exciting activation elements is key. Experiential marketing is a great handson way to directly engage your audience and get them actively involved with your brand.

Experiential marketing can help companies to build and grow relationships, raise awareness of their products and services, increase customer loyalty and positive feelings about your brand, grow referrals, encourage product desire and trials and provide direct consumer insights.

A big part of experiential marketing is choosing events that successfully emphasize the company’s mission while simultaneously bringing the brand to life — making the audience part of the action, rather than just an observer. Heineken has successfully done this with its Heineken House activations at the Olympics, U.S. Open, Major League Soccer, music festivals like Coachella and more. Heineken’s’s goal has always been to

add value to the event that is already taking place rather than being a distraction and taking away from it.

Other companies can also achieve this with their audiences by keeping the following marketing strategies top of mind: De�ine the story you want to tell. Your story and theme serve as your foundation, which must be relevant for the brand and the time. Your theme must authentically connect with your audience and the event and resonate with their needs at that given time. What works for one event certainly won’t always work at the next type of event.

Always keep your audience in mind.

Who is your target demographic for the specific event? What do they like to do?

How can you enhance their experience onsite? Aim to develop an emotional connection with your intended audience and create opportunities in which they can interact with your brand in person. Remember that great first impressions are critical.

Ensure that your event staff are well briefed. Plan ahead and hold numerous staff training sessions prior to the event to

ensure that your staff is well versed with the entire event, your company and its offerings.

It’s important to stay consistent with all of your messaging.

Tell the story comprehensively throughout the entire experience. Your goal should be to create an environment and not a set. Weave your story and theme through the entire event experience — from arrival and registration to your audience’s departure and also via any pre-event and post-event communications.

Leverage social media. Before, during and after an event are all important times to engage with your guests through social media. Creating a branded hashtag to bring everyone together on social media is a great way to add a virtual aspect to your event. Most people are more than happy to share something really cool that they just did or experienced. Use social media as a benchmark for continuous outreach and ensure that you are capturing key insights in order to become more acquainted with your target audience. Creating a closer bond

between the consumer and the brand comes from merging the two into a fun and memorable experience.

Measure the success of your event.

You can measure the success of your event in a number of ways, such as the number of impressions, how many relevant consumers attended it, direct consumer feedback and insight, awareness level increased and more.

Lessons learned. Be sure to note any lessons learned for your future events as there’s always room for improvement. It’s best to have your team regroup shortly after your event when everything is still fresh in their minds.

When done right, experiential marketing can create wonderful and memorable interactions with your key audiences. One of the biggest challenges that you will face is to outdo yourself next time.

Protesters say ‘no’ to privatized Westchester airport

BY ALEESIA FORNI aforni@westfairinc.com

R

esidents and government officials took to the steps of the Westchester County Office Building recently to voice their concerns regarding plans to privatize the Westchester County Airport.

“The only argument anyone has made for approving either privatization or the master plan is that it might make the county a little bit of money,” said Jonathan Wong, chairman of Citizens for a Responsible County Airport. “‘Little’ is the operative word here, because the Oaktree proposal, for example, would have added less than 3/10 of a percentage point to the county budget over its 40 years.”

Citizens for a Responsible County Airport was one of a number of organizations that sponsored the July 17 event, which attracted more than 100 people. Many held signs reading “No to Airport Privatization” and “No to LaGuardia North.”

“Under privatization, the company and the county will have a strong incentive to increase profits, whether by increasing the number of operations at the airport or by cutting costs on things like security or environmental protection,” said Wong, a Purchase resident.

He added that plans for the privatization had been pushed forward without any input from the public. “That ends now,” Wong said, prompting resounding cheers from the gathered crowd.

Just hours before the rally, Westchester County Legislator David Gelfarb announced that he will not support any plan to privatize the Westchester County Airport. Gelfarb, a Republican whose district includes Harrison, Rye Brook and Port Chester, spoke during the rally and cited a number of reasons for his opposition, including the length of the proposed lease term.

“I question whether a 40-year lease is in the best interest of the county,” Gelfarb said.

“Forty years is an extremely long time to lose control of an asset.”

Gelfarb added that a loss of control over capital projects at the airport was another glaring concern, along with excess traffic and environmental issues.

“I urge my fellow legislators not to support any airport privatization, whether this year or in subsequent legislative years,” he said.

Gelfarb was joined at the rally by fellow County Legislator Catherine Parker, a Rye Democrat, who called the privatization deal a “fire sale.”

“I’ve seen the Playland deal become a bad deal for Westchester’s taxpayers,” Parker said. She was referring to the county-owned amusement park on Long Island Sound in Rye and the county administration’s protracted efforts to hand over the 89-year-old

park’s management to a private operator, a $30 million deal completed in 2016. “This is Playland on steroids.”

Westchester County Executive Robert P. Astorino announced a $140 million, 40-year revenue-sharing lease for the airport with California-based Oaktree Capital Management in November.

Some members of the Westchester County Board of Legislators balked at the administration’s plan, criticizing the lack of a competitive bid process and calling the deal a gimmick to balance an unbalanced budget. The full lease agreement proposal was sent to the board just days before Astorino was set to deliver the 2017 budget, one that included $15 million in revenue from the airport deal.

“We cannot solve one year’s budget through a 40-year mechanism,” Gelfarb said.

In April, legislators issued a request for proposals from potential private operators of the airport. The original deadline for those proposals was July 14, but was extended two weeks to July 28, Gelfarb said.

During the Board of Legislators meeting that followed the Monday evening rally, Wong urged the county to make bids submitted in response to the RFP available to the public. “Without transparency, the public cannot provide informed criticism of the details of this major policy decision,” he said.

Gelfarb said that instead of privatizing the airport, he plans to urge the county’s representatives in Washington to draft legislation that would allow the county to unlock revenue from the airport, particularly with respect to parking.

The rally came on the heels of the

unveiling of Westchester County’s draft master plan for the airport, which calls for a $462 million investment on a number of airport projects. While Gelfarb said he had reviewed the master plan, he would reserve his judgment until after the public hearing.

“My concerns about privatization really are not integrally related to the airport master plan,” the lawmaker said. “I’m concerned about privatization as it is, and the master plan, while we certainly have concerns about that, is to me, an issue for another day.”

Wong called the airport’s master plan a “poorly researched, deeply flawed” document. Many members of the crowd gathered at the rally booed at its mention.

A public hearing and presentation on the master plan will be at 7 p.m. July 27 in the Little Theater at the Westchester County Center.

From left: Ann Mitrione, manager of Bankwell’s Wilton branch; Lynne Gomez, executive assistant to Bankwell’s CEO; Lucy French, Bankwell marketing associate; and Bliss Kern, Connecticut Humane Society’s Westport district manager.

BANKING ON A PET ADOPTION PROJECT Those weren’t armored guards inside the big van with the Bankwell logo on its sides as it was driven up to the front of the Connecticut Humane Society’s building in Westport. They were management personnel from the bank, delivering a full load of supplies that had been collected to help the animals being cared for by the society. As part of Bankwell’s ongoing Pet Adoption project, for three months pet supplies were collected at the bank’s nine branches in the state and at PetPantry locations throughout Connecticut.

In addition to the pet supplies, a check in the amount of $2,948 was presented to the organization. The funds were the result of a matching donation program spearheaded by the bank.

16 Week of July 24, 2017 • FAIRFIELD COUNTY BUSINESS JOURNAL

Westport Country Playhouse, in conjunction with its production of “Grounded,” about a U.S. Air Force fighter pilot who is grounded by an unexpected pregnancy, partnered with the Connecticut Women’s Hall of Fame (CWHF) for “Women and War,” a multimedia presentation on July 14 in the Lucille Lortel White Barn Center, adjacent to the playhouse. It provided a sweeping history of women in warfare.

“Strong, courageous women have changed history,” said Kathryn Gloor, executive director of CWHF. “They have willingly risked their lives to defend our country and our communities for hundreds of years, but we all too seldom recognize their service.”

Among the Connecticut women featured in the presentation were three who are slated for induction into the CWHF on Nov. 9. They are: Army Capt. Kristen Griest, the first female infantry officer in the U.S. Army and one of the first two women ever to graduate from Army Ranger School; Major Regina Y. Rush-Kittle, a military and law enforcement trailblazer and the highestranking African-American woman to serve in the Connecticut State Police; and USAF Colonel Ruth A. Lucas (1920-2013), the first African-American woman to attain the rank of Colonel in the U.S. Air Force and an advocate for improved educational opportunities for service personnel.

“Grounded,” written by George Brant, earned a 2016 Lortel Award and a Fringe First Award at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Its run at Westport ends July 29. Playing the role of the pilot in the production is Elizabeth Stahlmann, a recent graduate of the Yale School of Drama. The director is Liz Diamond, chair of Yale School of Drama’s directing department and resident director at Yale Repertory Theatre.

For more information and tickets, visit westportplayhouse.org or call the box office at 203-227-4177.

Information for these features has been submitted by the subjects or their delegates.
