Stratford and company ‘OFFERING MORE FROM FOREST TO SHORE’ ON THE COUNTY’S EAST FLANK

BY BILL FALLON Bfallon@westfairinc.com

W

ith a checkered shirt, denims and an easy hello, Peter Doering, a partner in Two Roads Brewing Co. in Stratford, looks like he answered the call from Hollywood central casting for a craft brewer.

There is, however, no makebelieve involved in Two Roads’ success, now quantifiable at 11,000 cases per day after opening December 2012. Rather, the brewery is part of Stratford’s gamechanging push to bring 32 new businesses to town even as it, among other things, remakes the half-mile around the train depot as a fresh-minted zoning district and picks up a business-friendly exit off Interstate 95.

Peter Doering, principal, Two Roads Brewing Co.

Doering walked recently through Two Roads’ 100,000-square-foot converted factory space at 1700 Stratford Ave. The company uses 65,000 square feet and leases out another 35,000 square feet to other enterprises. Beginning in the retail bar/restaurant and through security-controlled glass doors to the brewing and bottling facility, Doering ticked off the daily numbers: 20,000 gallons or 800 barrels. “That’s 11,000 cases,” he said.

“The town of Stratford has been great,” he said. “They supported us when all we had was a business plan.”

CFOs grow companies despite challenges

BY DANIELLE BRODY dbrody@westfairinc.com FINANCIAL EXECUTIVES SAID MARKET DOWNTURNS and regulatory complexities have made the job more difficult at the annual Fairfield County CFO of the Year awards. Yet the nine CFOs honored at the Oct. 7 event have still been able to contribute to their companies’ growth.

The Fairfield County Business Journal along with McGladrey LLP and TD Bank hosted the event at David Soundview Catering’s The Landing in Stamford. Other sponsors included Rakow Commercial Realty, New Country Audi and Val’s Putnam Wines and Liquors.

The event recognized seven finalists, three of which were winners in the small, medium and large-size company categories.

Thomas Santa, CEO of Bridgeport-based Santa Energy Corp., said, while futures and derivatives have given more tools to help business, they have added much more financial complexity compared with when his company started in 1940.

“Today being an entrepreneur is not so simple,” Santa said. “Even in a straightforward business like fuel distribution, this tangle of licenses, permits, registrations, taxes, fees and record-keeping did » CFO, page 4

Blumenthal: VW dealers are victims, too

BY ALEXANDER SOULE Heart Connecticut Media

A

s U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal was in Hartford on Oct. 12 calling for $18 billion in fines against Volkswagen after it admitted to cheating vehicle emissions tests, auto dealers in southwestern Connecticut said they have yet to see an impact on sales. But they do fear some backlash amid intense scrutiny and a criminal investigation.

Volkswagen, which also owns Audi, has three local dealerships in Prestige Volkswagen of Stamford, Curran Volkswagen in Stratford and Danbury Volkswagen. A fourth local dealer shut down earlier this year in New Milford.

The German automaker has admitted its engineers rigged software for its diesel passenger vehicles to under-report air pollution measures in excess of government mandates.

“In my view, dealers are victims just like consumers. They had no idea about this fraud. They put their reputations and their business livelihoods on the line for this company and they have been betrayed by this company — and I will fight for them.”

— Richard Blumenthal

Blumenthal called for a range of penalties, to include payments to the Environmental Protection Agency amounting to $37,500 for each affected vehicle sold by Volkswagen.

In a telephone interview, Blumenthal told Hearst he wants Volkswagen to offer affected diesel-powered car owners a choice of selling their vehicles back to Volkswagen or issue rebates of as much as $20,000 each, on the justification alone of the impact of the scandal on their vehicles’ resale values.

Blumenthal said the impact extends beyond the car owners.

“In my view, dealers are victims just like consumers,” Blumenthal said. “They had no idea about this fraud. They put their reputations and their business livelihoods on the line for this company and they have been betrayed by this company — and I will

Bethel’s Holbrook farm grows to meet demand

BY REECE ALVAREZ ralvarez@westfairinc.com

J

ohn and Lynn Holbrook have been farming their property along Route 53 in Bethel for more than 40 years, but only in the last decade have they joined the rising tide of Fairfield County’s clean food movement. They are now an example of how agricultural entrepreneurs have capitalized on the relatively new niche market, turning hobbies into careers.

“Just keeping up with the demand, that’s been a little difficult,” John Holbrook said.

He said business has been good this year, adding new customers and restaurants to his base of 800 regular visitors — perhaps the most significant sign of the increasingly popular locally sourced food movement.

“There is an amazing number of chefs who are now moving toward sustainable menus,” he said.

In Holbrook’s first commercial year, the farm turned a profit of $15,000. Now the farm makes $300,000 to $400,000 a year.

Driven by growth, the farm is expanding, particularly due to a dozen consistent restaurant customers who have come to partner with the farm thanks to the efforts of farm manager Jessica Wong.

Restaurant partners include chef Bill Taibe’s trio of sustainability-focused restaurants, The Whelk in Saugatuck and le Farm and Kawa Ni in Westport as well as Elm in New Canaan and The Schoolhouse at Cannondale in Wilton.

According to the Fairfield County Farm Bureau, the agritourism industry in the county is growing with more than 310 farms currently operating.

As a measure of its growth, Holbrook Farm is at a point of transition as Wong, who started as an inexperienced volunteer and worked her way into the position of farm manager, has been tapped by Holbrook to operate the farm under a lease agreement as he and his wife phase themselves out of the day-to-day operations.

Wong represents a new wave of young professionals leaving the corporate ranks for the fields. A graduate of Skidmore College with degrees in Asian studies and anthropology, she took a brief stab at marketing before realizing her calling.

“It really only took a year in an office to realize I didn’t want to be in an office,” she said.

While bringing in restaurants as consistent customers has been a new development for the small four-acre farm, its core business comes from its loyal customer base, Wong said.

It is not only the loyalty of customers that has sustained the farm, but also the relationships fostered through the personal touch a

not exist 75 years ago and it makes business far more complex.”

He credited the company’s first and remaining CFO for helping Santa Energy grow into a billion-dollar business. Santa saluted the finalists that help companies “face the business challenges that are in front of us in 21st century.”

The winners and finalists each responded to the question: What is the biggest challenge in your industry affecting your role today?

The winner in the small business category, Jay Ford, CFO of Greenwich-based Splash Management Group, said his standard response used to revolve around the weather. Now that revenue and profits are growing, he sees the weather as a short-term problem and instead monitors peaks rather than reacting to them. Ford said his biggest challenge is looking past the external factors and finding opportunities for growth.

“It’s easy to blame bad weather for poor performance or get excited about a run of good weather, but I can’t let it cloud my judgment,” Ford said. “My goal is to make strategic recommendations based on the underlying information.”

He said he considers how the company is controlling labor, the cost of goods and expenses.

For Jeff Gulbin, CFO of Stamford-based Finacity Corp. and winner in the mid-sized company category, dealing with compliance for domestic and international financial regulations and accounting is his biggest challenge. He said CFOs in his industry have to be aware of regulations like Dodd-Frank to carefully structure transactions for clients and make sure there is no risk.

“At the end of the day, it’s not about the compliance, our books and records, and

State sees billion-dollar benefits in interstate work

BY REECE ALVAREZ Ralvarez@westfairinc.com

P

reliminary estimates for the economic impact generated by the widening of southern Connecticut’s major transit arteries, Interstate 84 and Interstate 95, are in and the outlook is promising with economic benefits of nearly $40 billion predicted – more than three times the $12.2 billion the combined projects are predicted to cost.

The analysis is part of Gov. Dannel Malloy’s and the Department of Transportation’s “Let’s Go CT” campaign announced earlier this year. The project is a $100-billion, 30-year vision for an overhaul of the state’s seaports, highways, bus and rail systems as well as pedestrian and bicyclist pathways.

The projects would boost most sectors of the state’s economy, particularly in the manufacturing, retail and tourism industries in the form of new business, wages and an increase in the gross state product, Malloy said announcing the findings.

GE launches in-house company

“It’s not just about quality of life — our transportation system is directly tied to our state’s economic future and our ability to grow jobs,” he said. “By acting now, we will see dramatic benefits in the long term.”

According to the state DOT, daily traffic varies widely but, on average, the I-95 corridor accommodates more than 135,000 vehicles daily, including more than 18,000 trucks on some portions. Adding a lane in each direction on I-95 across southern Connecticut could produce $15.5 billion in new business sales, add $9 billion to the gross state product and add $6.3 billion in new wage income to workers. The widening itself will cost $10.7 billion and support between 11,000 and 19,000 construction jobs over a 10-year ramp-up construction period.

The transportation department esti-

mates every year each Connecticut driver spends 40 hours sitting in traffic due to the state’s congested roads — costing $1.6 billion in lost time and fuel.

In a survey by the Connecticut Business and Industry Association, 42 percent of businesses surveyed believe the state’s road congestion restricts or limits the territory of their market. In the same survey, 15 percent of businesses said they have considered relocating because of regional transportation concerns.

Chris Bruhl, president and CEO of the Business Council of Fairfield County, has not heard from members that the current condition of the transit infrastructure is deterring new businesses or propelling them from the state, though it is a concern for the near future.

“It is a steady theme that we hear — that

improvement in employee commutes are essential in the future,” he said. “It is on everybody’s mind, in Fairfield the commute is like the weather in an agricultural community.”

On I-84, more than 80,000 drivers are estimated to use the corridor daily. Widening the highway could produce $4.4 billion in new business sales, add $2.6 billion to the gross state product and add $1.8 billion in new wage income for workers, the economic analysis concluded. The total cost of the project is $1.5 billion and will support 4,000 construction jobs.

Both improvements are years away, said Thomas Maziarz, bureau chief for the DOT’s Bureau of Policy and Planning, but there are many smaller projects aimed at easing congestion as well as bolstering rail and bridge » » INTERSTATE, page 18

airfield-based GE announced it has formed Current, a billion-dollar energy company within itself integrating the company’s LED, solar, energy storage and electric vehicle businesses with its Predix platform to identify and deliver energy solutions.

Maryrose Sylvester, president and CEO at GE Lighting, will lead the new enterprise.

It is already operating — run from offices in Massachusetts and California — and will potentially employ 200.

“Current is backed by GE’s balance sheet and financing expertise, and committed to successfully advancing ecomagination-certified technology solutions, new business models and Predix solutions for the energy sector,” company officials said.

GE describes Predix as “industrial strength.”

“Current combines GE’s products and services in energy efficiency, solar, storage and on-site power with our digital and analytical capabilities to provide customers — hospitals, universities, retail stores and cities – with more profitable energy solutions,” Jeff Immelt, chairman and CEO of GE, said.

Citing its deep roots in technology and its legacy in energy, GE said Current will begin with more than $1 billion of revenue. The website is CurrentByGE.com.

Stratford — » » From page 1

Knorr, cited Two Roads as an example of Stratford’s efforts to use what is useable to greater effect — as with the former U.S. Baird industrial machine plant that became home to Two Roads — or to demolish what is unsalvageable, as with the multistory Mercer Coal Towers coming asunder in recent weeks on Stratford Avenue.

The 1965-built Center School on 3.6 acres at 1000 E. Broadway is also slated for replacement, a $1.2 million job funded by the state Department of Economic and Community Development’s brownfield fund. The next phase for the school, which is within the town’s transit-oriented district, is to bid it out for demolition. A 1920s-contructed building on the property will be renovated.

Citing the school as an “underutilized property,” Knorr said it and others like it are in the town’s crosshairs.

“When the lot is cleared, we’ll look for a developer,” she said.

“Ideally, it will incorporate retail and restaurants, homes, including apartments or condos and parking.”

Knorr said developers would be offered a break on traditional parking-to-occupancy equations.

“We want to make Stratford a highdensity, walkable downtown,” she said. She noted she and Kaiser

have investigated similar planning/ development efforts in Meriden, Storrs and West Hartford.

“This type of project helps downtown,” Knorr said. “It helps retail. It draws people downtown, off the highways and onto mass transit. For downtowns, this is the way to go. It helps with the economics and it helps with the taxes. It’s going to improve our whole downtown.

The town’s Transit-Oriented District Overlay Zone was added to Stratford’s zoning regulations in March with the unanimous approval of the Town Council and of the Planning and Zoning commissions.

Knorr and Kaiser said additionally the state Office of Policy and Management recently awarded the town a $200,000 transit-oriented

cooperative partnership between Stratford, Bridgeport, Easton, Fairfield, Monroe and Trumbull that provides best-practices help with transportation and land-use

“TOD is really important to us,” Kaiser said. “The whole idea of TOD — higher density, commuting, more walkability — can be set up in so many different ways. There are public-private partnerships.

Land can be leased or it can be purchased.” She and Knorr said the grant money would produce the workable options with which to begin.

Those options span building materials, tree types and an awareness of town history.

Several big-project items on Stratford’s development docket include the recent completion of a $20 million federal and state re-alignment of nearly a half-mile of Main Street to accommodate the construction of a runway safety area at the east end of runway 6-24 at Sikorsky Airport. All of the utilities in the area are underground due to the proximity of the runways.

A state DECD grant of $2.85 million is paying to demolish and remediate of the former Contract Plating site at 540 Longbrook Ave., which includes 10 acres within the

TOD zone. The work has begun.

Though not in the transit district, the Mercer Coal Tower demolition also has begun, funded by a $200,000 federal EPA grant. Another $150,000 federal Community Development Block Grant will help. The towers will be completely removed this month.

The town also looks to see built a full Exit 33 interchange off Interstate 95. There is currently only a northbound exit there. The town will soon schedule public hearings on the effort, said to cost $24 million, with construction, if approved, slated to begin some time in 2017.

Kaiser said state DECD grants alone account for $3.32 million across three years. She said 19 companies received grants or loans and with those loans created 87 jobs and retained 410 jobs in town. She called Stratford “the poster child” for getting grants and for using them to spur development.

“There has been a lot of progress,” Knorr said. “We’re located in a great place. And we’re a little more affordable for businesses to operate here than in southern Fairfield County.”

“Stratford is becoming known as business friendly,” Kaiser said.

“Amy and I pull everything together for an initial meeting. There’s no running from department to department. We bring together planning and zoning, building and engineering, the tax assessor and the legal team. I’d say, hypothetically, some towns can get a project done in six months. We normally get it done in a couple of months.”

Chamber launches Fitness Week to follow Restaurant Week

D

riven to action, perhaps, by the gravy boat, the Westport Weston Chamber of Commerce is inaugurating Fitness Week to dovetail with the end of Restaurant Week.

The chamber bills the event as “an opportunity to learn about and set new health and wellness goals for yourself and a chance for participating businesses to help you achieve them.”

Ten companies and the town’s farmers market had signed up for the Oct. 19 to Oct. 25 initiative as of press time.

The chamber said free and discounted classes and memberships as well as a fairs, seminars and public exercise sessions will be the heart of the event.

“Last year, I ate at 20 restaurants during

tamford-based AmeriCares recently sent emergency medicine and relief supplies to South Carolina for those affected by flooding.

The poor and the uninsured were at the top of the receiving list.

The emergency response and global health organization sent insulin, pain relievers, cleaning supplies, towels, blankets and family emergency kits.

The shipments were headed to three free clinics in South Carolina serving uninsured and low-income families: Christ Central Medical Care Center in Columbia, Sumpter Free Health Clinic in St. Stephen and Anderson Free Clinic in Anderson.

“We are helping uninsured and lowincome residents, who are often the least prepared to weather catastrophic emergencies,” E. Anne Peterson, AmeriCares senior vice president of global programs, said.

“Many of the people affected by the storms are struggling with financial problems as well as serious health issues and will need assistance to recover.”

Novo Nordisk, a Danish health care company with its U.S. headquarters in New Jersey, is supporting the response with donations of insulin.

AmeriCares is also working with Nestlé Waters North America in Stamford to deliver bottled water to communities with boil water advisories.

“We had close to 12 inches of rain in 48 hours,” Anderson Free Clinic Executive Director Barb Baptista said.

Restaurant Week and gained six pounds; it dawned on me that I might need some exercise to offset my indulgence,“ WWCC Executive Director Matthew Mandell said.

“So I came up with the idea of Fitness Week to piggyback one event to the other. It was a simple concept that caught on and I hope it will become an annual event.”

This year’s Restaurant Week features more than 30 establishments and ran Oct. 4 to Oct. 18.

A fitness fair and seminar kick off at the Westport Library on Monday, Oct. 19, 7 to 9 p.m.

All participating businesses will be in attendance to showcase their products, services and special offers for the week.

Presentations will be made by Tom

George, owner of Westport Physical Therapy; Deborah Mogelof, physician at Westport Urgent Care; and Alexei Bachuretz, director of health and wellness at the WestportWeston Family YMCA. “At all stages in our lives, our physical and mental health is dependent on exercise and fitness,” Mogelof said.

On Oct. 21 at noon, Sue Gold, director of the Westport Historical Society, will run two free, 30-minute classes in Qi Gong — described by the chamber as “an age-old practice”— on the lawn of the society’s building. All interested persons are welcome. Since these classes will be held across the street from Town Hall, the chamber is specifically inviting town employees to attend during lunch.

The Westport Farmers Market, held

Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Imperial Avenue parking facility, is on board as a centralized venue for Oct 22.

The center of the market will be filled by participating businesses offering demonstrations and free opportunities to try equipment, analyze muscle mass and flexibility, learn ways to stay fit and more.

“We are thrilled to partner with the chamber and local businesses to celebrate wellness. We look forward to sharing this unique Thursday market with our community,” Lori Cochran, WFM executive director, said.

“I think a lot of young people are getting into the farming thing, it has almost become a little trendy, but I find they don’t have the stamina,” Wong said. “I am hearing a lot of stories now of people closing down their farms after maybe a few years. It is hard; farming is really expensive and if you talk to any of the seasoned farmers, the only way to make money is if you have money.”

For Wong the challenge of a modern agriculture life is an all or nothing venture.

“This is my bread and butter,” she said. “I don’t have any other means of income coming in.”

Leading instead of doing Because I am wearing so many hats, I can’t get to things that are a priority.

I keep wrestling for control with people who aren’t doing what I want. If I delegate to someone, how do I know it will get done right? Pretty sure I’m too involved sometimes but I want to know things are properly taken care of.

THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: Most business owners are natural problem solvers with a sharp focus on tactical issues and dayto-day business, but that’s not the best use of their time and energy. It’s easy to follow that trait down the management chain, loading up reliable players with too many tasks while overlooking employees who don’t readily volunteer. Make sure you build a team with members who can respect each other, address concerns openly and work cooperatively for mutual benefit.

In order to get the most out of your business, make the shift from doing to orchestrating. Think ahead; assess where the business is, what it’s capable of and where it’s going next. Make time for management meetings to hear what people have to say. Keep lists of tasks and due dates. Ask people to report regularly. Take responsibility for pointing the company in a direction so people can follow your lead.

Wondering how to do all that? Get rid of day-to-day tasks. Ask people around you to take over things you’re used to doing. Accept that there is usually more than one successful approach instead of harping on how you used to do it.

Some employees will eagerly step up to the plate, asking for more. They may be ready, or they may be overly optimistic and about to hit a wall. Others are naturally cautious, needing encouragement to step up even though they have plenty of skill. Learn to realistically assess individual readiness and ability.

Taking on too much at once can turn into a fiasco for anyone. Watch out for good performers who suddenly hit a wall.

Lighten the load until they start to make progress again.

As people step into new roles, if they

don’t get it right the first time, encourage them to keep trying and learn from their experiences. Step back as they gain skill and confidence.

It’s often hard to remember how long it took to learn things that are now comfortable habits. Develop patience as you encourage people to get more involved in things you don’t need to do. Teach people to under-promise and over-deliver.

Steady, reliable performers are valuable to any business. Don’t overlook the opportunity to give some employees routine work to do, so they can get into a groove.

When it comes to work ethic, don’t let anyone take the easy way out, unfairly leaning on co-workers. There’s a difference between going cautiously and sitting back to let others handle the brunt of the load.

Some people may try to wash their hands of a problem by asking you to step in. When people come to you for help, practice asking, “Why are you putting that on my desk?” Listen carefully to the answer, but resist the temptation to step in.

Be mindful of the concept of motivated self-interest. People act in ways they believe will result in giving them pleasure.

Some situations may lead to immediate rewards, while other situations call for overcoming significant challenges in the pursuit of longer term gain. Talk with each of your employees about what is the win for them.

Whatever you do, focus on team building. Address difficult situations openly.

Tell the truth. Set realistic goals that reward everyone for pulling together. All the while, maintain a positive, upbeat attitude, even if you have to fake it. Your outward aspect is something that everyone in the company pays attention to.

Make the workplace a productive, enjoyable place to be.

IBM Selects The Business Council as Lead for Connecticut Supplier Connection Will link Connecticut’s Small Businesses with Major Corporations Nationally

The Healthy Workplace Employer Recognition Program has become the premiere award in Connecticut, recognizing the outstanding achievements of businesses and organizations in implementing employee health and wellness programs.

The Business Council will highlight employers’ efforts to encourage healthy behaviors, enhance productivity, and ensure healthy work environments on February 25, 2016.

The Connecticut Supplier Connection, led by The Business Council of Fairfield County, will help Connecticut small business owners to become suppliers to major corporations – a move that will benefit job growth in the state.

Known as the Connecticut Supplier Connection, this new initiative is linked to the national Supplier Connection initiative – a multi-industry procurement platform built and managed by IBM. It is a free, business-tobusiness platform connecting dozens of large corporations with suppliers that have under $50 million in revenues and fewer than 500 employees. Using an online standardized profile, small businesses can be identified by the purchasing agents of large corporations whose combined spending power exceeds $150 billion a year. The comprehensive small business profiles make it easier and more efficient for large organizations to purchase from small business.

Get recognized for your Healthy Workplace Program www. BusinessFairfield.com Submissions due by January 8, 2016

The Connecticut Supply Chain Roundtable will guide the Supplier Connection initiative statewide. This leadership group will bring together buying members, universities, professional service leaders, supply chain and manufacturing agency leaders – all of whom are key stakeholders and state economic development executives. The newly created roundtable will serve to elevate the awareness of Connecticut as a supply chain leader, provide benchmarking tools, and offer match making sessions with suppliers and buyers.

Three Growth Company CEOs and their Evolving Businesses Growth Advisory Services, an initiative of The Business Council, consults with small growth companies as they look to grow and expand their business, offering assistance in planning, marketing and financing. Launched in 2012 and funded through the State of Connecticut’s CTNext initiative, the goal is to connect companies to the expertise they need to keep growing in Connecticut.

The Business Council periodically highlights some of Connecticut’s unique small businesses to provide a behind-the-scenes look at their acceleration plans and individual CEO stories.

Our recent Growth Company Showcase featured: ChalkTalkSPORTS is an online resource for sports apparel, accessories, and gifts based in Norwalk. The business, founded by Julie and Tom Lynn, grew out of the family’s personal involvement in sports and features their original designs. The founders each have strong entrepreneurial backgrounds, starting with the expansion and sale of a toy store chain they started in Wilton, CT. With a 22.5% growth rate,

Co-Founder and COO Tom Lynn highlighted some of the company’s recent benchmarks, including a significant investment in a new online platform, allowing customers to shop across brands.

Owlstone, also based in Norwalk, designs and manufactures chemical detection technology and equipment. CEO Bret Bader was met with applause with his opening line, “We’ve just reached our third consecutive quarter of profitability.”

Owlstone has developed a microchip chemical detection platform for use in instruments no larger than cell phones, essentially bringing the ‘lab to the field’. In outlining Owlstone’s 4 business areas, Bader was bullish on his company’s growth potential. With $28 million raised in private equity capital and $25 million in development grants, and technology commercialized for multiple markets, the company is looking for strategic partners for its defense and medical businesses.

ushman & Wakefield in Stamford recently announced the sale of 700, 850 and 860 Canal St., a threebuilding, 247,310-square-foot waterfront complex in the south end section of Stamford.

Cushman & Wakefield represented the seller, ClearRock Properties and Contrarian Capital Management, in the sale to Mountain Development Corp., Gottesman Real Estate Partners and ClearRock Properties.

The complex fronts recently upgraded Canal Street, which is directly connected to the new four-lane Urban Transitway near I-95 and less than a 10-minute walk to the Stamford Transportation Center.

The Cushman & Wakefield sales team consisted of Andrew Merin, vice chairman; David Bernhart, vice chairman; Gary Gabriel, executive vice president; and Thomas J. O’Leary, senior director of C&W’s Capital Markets Group.

“We are very pleased with the overall process Cushman & Wakefield conducted on our behalf,” Doug Winshall of ClearRock said. “The properties’ location, unique architecture and leasing potential made it a highdemand investment opportunity.”

The deal is comprised of an 89,637-square-foot, five-story, brick-andbeam, loft-style building at 700 Canal St.; a 67,673-square-foot, four-story office building with available ground-floor retail space at 850 Canal St.; and a 90,000-square-foot, four-story office building at 860 Canal St., which C&W is presenting as “ideal for redevelopment.”

All three buildings offer water views.

The online Real Estate Weekly, rew-online. com, reported the buyers secured an 11-year, $23 million mortgage loan for the acquisition of 700 and 850 Canal St. The third property was not included in that report.

C&W said 700 Canal St. is “a unique, former industrial building,” with a new, twostory glass-box lobby and four-foot windows.

Recent improvements include new exterior lighting, new common areas, renovated bathrooms, new elevator cabs/systems, upgraded HVAC and a new landscaped parking area.

The 850 Canal St. property has “bright, open center-core floor plates,” plus a formal front-to-back lobby and individual retail suites on one side of the ground floor.

The 860 Canal St. building offers what C&W termed “an exceptional redevelopment opportunity — ideal for residential, self-storage and hotel development up to 150,000 square feet.” It includes a marina with 1,000 linear feet of dock.

The properties are near the 82-acre Harbor Point development.

“The properties’ potential attracted tremendous interest and activity all through the sales process,” O’Leary said. “It was a real pleasure to represent ClearRock Properties and Contrarian Capital Management and I’m confident Mountain Development and Gottesman will ensure the buildings reach their full potential.”

The merger of Cushman & Wakefield and U.K.-based DTZ closed Sept. 1. The new Cushman & Wakefield is led by Chairman and CEO Brett White and global President Tod Lickerman.

The art and science of working the good earth FAIRFIELD LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT MAXIMIZES OUTSIDE SPACE

BY BILL FALLON Bfallon@westfairinc.com

N

ow 15 months old, Matteson Landscape Architecture in Fairfield is not yet at the capacity its principal Jessica Matteson would like to see.

She has had 12 clients in the last year, one of them commercial, and she would be comfortable with several more in the next year.

She has no firm number in mind, but said, “I know I haven’t hit max yet.”

Matteson has 20 years of landscape architecture experience in study and in practice, including a pair of degrees from Cornell University and professional stints for others in Connecticut and in Georgia.

Hers is a world of physics, horticulture, aesthetics and soil science. Her jobs do their work quietly — screening, filtering, slowing runoff to promote absorption — and as such are perhaps back-burner thoughts in the minds of many. But Matteson noted landscaping accounts for 10 to 20 percent of a project’s total cost and is circumscribed by legislation.

Her work is designed to purpose, far

more so these days than in the past.

“My focus was always environment and design,” she said. “Then I had a major shift after having two kids. Now my focus is lifestyle, about how little time we have. And when we do have time we really want to maximize it.”

The equation for private homes involves aesthetics, function and “creating a space where it’s easier to have fun.”

For the commercial client, she asks, “What will happen there? Once I know that, I can design the space around it.”

She summed it up as “lifestyle support” that operates under the banner of being “meaningful in my life and in the lives of my clients.” For example, a recent commercial project — a church in New Canaan — incorporated eight benches for quiet contemplations among cherry trees and boxwoods and other plantings. The driveway dropoff and disabled parking areas were part of the project.

Matteson said building projects across the spectrum, from home driveway projects to office parks, are highly legislated in the name of stormwater management. Her » CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

tasks include mastering the subject, which has only grown more complex in Fairfield County with post-Superstorm Sandy flood maps.

Matteson has so far employed five different contractors for projects.

She spoke recently of the wintertime warmth that broadleaf evergreens like hollies provide versus the colder, more northerly look of spruces.

“Psychologically they just feel warmer, especially if there are a couple of layers,” she said. She came to admire broadleaf evergreens while working in Georgia, where they are used prominently. Personal journeys through famous gardens of Asia and Europe also inflect her work, she said.

On a recent morning, Matteson walked a Shore Road, Old Greenwich, property she is landscaping. Two trenches of a combined 250 feet flank the property. They are drained by perforated pipe wrapped in gravel. When the 70 mature holly trees that will soon fill the trenches have had their fill of water, the excess will flow to an 800-square-foot, 3-foot-deep rainwater containment system beneath the backyard.

The containment system also handles the rain-spout water, slowing its progress to the nearby L. I. Sound.

“With town of Greenwich stormwater

regulations, you must contain and treat all your stormwater on the property,” Matteson said. She held thumb and forefinger a halfinch apart to indicate the thickness of the stormwater regulations. “The idea is to increase the infiltration of stormwater into the soil and decrease the pollution in the Sound.”

Compacted soil on site will be “scarified” — Matteson used the word without pause — and infused with 25 percent compost.

Matteson scarified several inches with a stick to demonstrate. She studied soil science at Cornell, among other technical topics, earn-

ing bachelor of science and master of landscape architecture degrees. She expected good results from the decompaction process.

Its density notwithstanding, the regional soil is low in phosphorous, which can stunt growth, she said.

Matteson’s work, in the end, will appear nearly invisible, as if rows of mature hollies and spruces fell in line beside fieldstone walls. Conduits that will move water toward filtration in paths as true as the hydraulics of a big machine will soon be buried.

The Shore Road property system is but

one option for managing stormwater runoff. Matteson said some choose what she called “rain gardens,” which are well-drained basins. She said the Shore Road system was more attractive, but acknowledged it also was more expensive.

She uses trees that are selected in the field and then balled in burlap; only when the root balls are measured will their holes be dug.

Matteson said others do what she does.

“You can use an engineer, but I think you get more attractive solutions if you use a landscape architect,” she said.

GKF Capital Markets recently represented both buyer and seller in the sale of 2 Soundview Drive, a class-A office building in downtown Greenwich.

The 38,000-square-foot property sold for $30.5 million.

Stephen Westerberg and Kim Mowers, both senior managing directors of NGKF Capital Markets, represented the seller, an entity controlled

by Ceruzzi Properties, and the buyer, 41 st Street Holding Co. LLC, in the transaction.

The NGKF Capital Markets team also secured the debt for the buyer of 2 Soundview, through Newmark Grubb Knight Frank’s Debt and Structured Finance Group. The 2 Soundview Drive property is occupied by Forester Capital and is the future Greenwich office for Houlihan Lawrence, a regional real estate company.

The buyer sought out the property based on its central location — one block from the retail and restaurant hub of Greenwich Avenue and within walking distance of the Greenwich/Metro-North train station.

“The new owners plan to leverage the property’s visibility with new renovations that will catch the eye of drivers coming through the Exit 3 railroad underpass and commuters on the train station platform,” NGKF officials said.

“This was an extensive marketing effort to meet the pricing demands of the seller, which required matching a very specific buyer to this asset,” Westerberg said. “There is a high tenant demand for class-A office space proximal to the train station. The new owners will be able to provide the invaluable combination of accessibility, visibility and quality to their corporate tenant base.”

“A serious threat to your investment objectives?

Lack of diversification.”

Investing used to be a whole lot simpler.

Traditionally, if stocks were outperforming, bonds were not. Therefore, as long as your portfolio had a healthy mix of each, you’d be poised to prosper. This isn’t necessarily the case anymore, as dealing with finances has grown more complicated in recent years.

When the financial crisis hit the U.S., the recessionary effects were felt around the world. Today, the U.S. economy is still recovering, and central banks in Europe and Japan grapple with ways to reinvigorate their economies.

The crisis taught us that portfolios composed solely of stocks and bonds (for instance, large caps and government debt) were vulnerable to loss. Having a truly diversified portfolio, with a robust blend of investments across and within different asset classes – including public and private investments – offers the best chance at reaping the highest possible return while managing volatility. So what’s an investor to do?

Develop a plan. To get where you want to go, you need a map with clear goals and

a carefully designed route based on proven portfolio construction principles. A plan will also provide ongoing discipline to maintain a steady hand amid volatile markets or asset class bubbles.

SPECIAL REPORT

BUSINESS TRAVEL: PLANES, TRAINS & AUTOMOBILES

For Westchester’s Skyqueen, aviation is a 24/7 affair

BY JOHN GOLDEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

M

illie Hernandez-Becker has an office in a far corner of Westchester County Airport removed from the commercial traffic and hubbub of the main terminal. A sales and marketing specialist and consultant in private aviation, she works from the office of one of her clients, Houston-based Million Air, a fixed base operator serving private travelers and aircraft from Hangar M at the county airport.

The remote location of the airport’s corporate and privately operated hangars on Tower Road was by design, HernandezBecker said in an interview with the Business Journal, to keep wealthy Westchester plane owners out of the public eye. That maintenance of customers’ privacy, along with the aircraft they own or charter, continues today.

“Discretion is a key ingredient here,” she said.

The owner of Skyqueen Enterprises, a one-woman company she launched in 2004, Hernandez-Becker describes herself as “a hired gun” for the general aviation industry.

She consults with individuals and companies shopping for planes or fractional ownership of one, arranges charter flights and works with business clients to develop their sales and marketing and, as she does for Million Air, to boost their market share of airport fuel sales. “I also like to put people together,” she said, connecting clients in need of capital or an architect, contractor or attorney.

For airplane purchases, “I can make sure that people are making good decisions and they are aware of the consequences of the decisions they’re making. If you don’t know enough, you can really get hurt in this business. I’m insurance that you don’t get hurt at this kind of purchase.”

“Right now business is very good,” she said. “In the past five months, I have three clients who are purchasing airplanes. They’re first-time buyers” acquiring private planes for the businesses they own, she said.

It’s a buyer’s market at airports. A used Hawker 850, for example, a popular eightseat charter jet, sells for about $4 million.

“That airplane used to sell for $12 million to $16 million,” Hernandez-Becker said.

The Great Recession sent values of used airplanes into a tailspin from which they have not recovered.

“There was a correction right after the recession,” she said. “All airplane values have

dropped dramatically. Those airplanes that are still out there, they’re going to remain low. They’re not going to come back up.

They’re not like a house.”

Working with both business and leisure travelers, “I’ve taken board members to visit factories in the Caribbean, in India, in China, and I’ve also flown people to Nantucket” for vacations, she said.

“I’ve flown Hillary Clinton when she was senator,” said Hernandez-Becker, whose discretion in business keeps her from dropping any more names of the VIPs and celebrities who have used her services. Her corporate clients include Flex Jet, Aircraft Services Group, Goldman Sachs and The Carlyle Group.

“I don’t work for everybody. I have the luxury of being able to choose who I work for. Companies that I work for are special.”

“To work with Goldman Sachs, The Carlyle Group, these great financial minds, it’s very valuable for me to be at the table. Typically I’m the only woman at

the table,” she said.

“I love this business. Aviation is very infectious. It’s very much a culture.

“We are a community that is very driven by excellence, by procedures, by the 24/7 culture. You’re on call all the time. It’s very exciting.”

The daughter of Puerto Rican immigrants who operated a chain of bodegas and later a medallion taxi business in Manhattan, Hernandez-Becker caught the aviation infection as a 22-year-old first-grade teacher in the New York City school system. She took a summer job at LaGuardia Airport as a reservations agent with New York Air. It led her to abandon one fledgling career for another, more exciting one.

She learned the industry at a series of jobs as ticket agent, flight attendant and an airline terminal manager at LaGuardia. In 1986, she joined Westchester Air, a former charter flight company at the county airport.

The boss who recruited her and Westchester Air’s founder, David M. Becker, became her

husband four years later.

A pilot, Becker was killed in a plane crash in 1994, leaving Hernandez-Becker to continue their 22-employee business on her own.

“I always say business requires passion, planning and a partner,” she said. “He was my partner. Not only did I suffer a loss personally, but I suffered a loss in the business.”

She continued to run Westchester Air until 2003, when she sold the company to Jet Equity, a private equity firm in Greenwich, and joined the new owner as a partner and vice president of marketing and sales for Skyport, the fixed base operator Jet Equity acquired at the Westchester airport. She continued in that marketing role when Landmark Aviation acquired Skyport about two years later.

Hernandez-Becker had remarried about four years after her husband’s fatal accident and was raising a son from that marriage while running the aviation business. Their boy was diagnosed with autism when he was 18 months old.

“That is something that you’re never prepared for,” Hernandez-Becker said. “It required an intense amount of focus, attention and commitment. …I had to be his CEO; I couldn’t be the CEO of Westchester Air. So I sold it. I made a choice.”

“It took me 2½ years” to close a deal. “You just don’t sell a company overnight.”

Hernandez-Becker launched Skyqueen Enterprises in the transition from her nearly two decades at Westchester Air. “I wanted to establish myself as a brand and as an entity,” she said. Working from her family’s home in Pound Ridge, “I started very small.”

In a career journey that has spanned more than 30 years, “Aviation has taken me places I never would have gone if I had stayed where I was as a school teacher,” Hernandez-Becker said. And that 24/7 journey continues.

“I enjoy what I do, so it’s easy for me.

It’s part of who I am. It’s really a part of my makeup,” she said.

“Stay tuned,” the owner of Skyqueen Enterprises advised. “This is an industry that is growing. The problem that we’re having is that the infrastructure at these airports is not keeping up with the new aircraft.”

Immersed in that growing industry, “I think I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be,” said Hernandez-Becker. “I think it’s pretty nice to be able to say that.”

Interstate — » » From page 5

safety that are already being addressed as part of Let’s Go CT’s five-year ramp-up plan — currently supported by $6.6 billion in designated funds.

Now in the first year of a 5 year initial plan, Mariarz said those smaller-scale projects can be addressed before the future design and construction phases for the interstates take shape.

Notably among these are the easing of congestion between exits 3 and 8 on I-84 and between Stamford and Bridgeport on I-95 — what Mariarz referred to as the “most congested” section of the state’s transit corridors with traffic jams that can reach 20 miles in length regularly, even daily.

The design work for the New York to Stamford portion of I-95 could be even further off, he said.

“We are probably several years away from being able to even think about the design on the Stamford to New York section,” he said.

The next step in the phase is a continued analysis of the scope of the plan, which will be put before Malloy and the Transportation Finance Panel in December for review and analysis of future funding strategies.

The widening of lanes in both directions along I-84 from the New York border to Waterbury will increase the interstate’s capacity from two to three lanes in each direction and is expected to cost a total of $1.5 billion, according to estimates by the Connecticut Department of Transportation in 2013.

Widening I-84 from Danbury Exit 8 to Waterbury Exit 18: $720 million

Widening I-84 in Danbury between Exit 3 and Exit 8: $640 million Widening I-84 from the New York border to Danbury Exit 3: $150 million

Adding one lane in each direction along I-95 from Stamford to Bridgeport: $4.1 billion

Adding one lane in each direction along I-95 from the Milford Connector to New Haven: $1.3 billion Adding one lane in each direction along I-95 from Bridgeport to the Milford Connector: $1.9 billion

Adding one lane in each direction along I-95 from the New York border to Stamford: $1.7 billion

The widening of lanes in both directions along I-95 from the New York border to New Haven is expected to cost a total of $9 billion, according to estimates made by the Connecticut Department of Transportation in 2013.

According to the department, this highly congested corridor constructed in the early 1950s has outgrown its ability to serve the region and current operations present significant congestion and safety issues.

The state wants to widen segments of both Interstate-84 and Interstate-95. Graphic by Jose Donneys

Bijou Theatre Pushes the Limits, Again, with ‘The Pillowman’ The Bijou Theatre in Bridgeport is a multifunctional venue with an open-minded philosophy and a reputation for taking risks. Since reopening in 2011, The Bijou Theatre’s focus has been in providing a full repertoire while continuing its historic character and carving a place for itself as a symposium for film, art, comedy, music and most recently live theater.

When the decision was made in February 2014 to introduce a full season of live theater productions to The Bijou, it was realized that Bijou Theatre’s niche could be in pushing the limits of traditional community theater and offering actors and audiences unique opportunities. The “black box”style stage and immersive house setting lend themselves to an intimate atmosphere in which audience and performers cohabitate the space. This sort of raw exposure forces directors and actors to excel because every detail, character nuance and relationship is visible.

The fruition of those efforts and specificity will be fully realized this Halloween season with the second production in the 2015-16 season, Martin McDonagh’s “The Pillowman.” The play centers on a storyteller in a future unnamed totalitarian state who is brutally interrogated about the disturbing content of his short stories and their similarities to a series of gruesome murders. It is described as “an urgent work of theatrical bravura and an unflinching examination of the very nature and purpose of art.” Parental discretion advised.

“The Pillowman” is directed by Julie Bell Petrak of South Salem, N.C., and stars John R Smith Jr. of Trumbull, Julie Thaxter-Gourlay of Port Chester, Eric Dino and Mat Young of Norwalk and Audrey Burns of Fairfield. Performances are Oct. 23, 24, 30, and 31 at 8 p.m., Oct. 31 at 2 p.m. and Nov. 1 at 5 p.m. at The Bijou Theatre, 275 Fairfield Ave., Bridgeport. Tickets are $23 for theater seating and $28 for table seating. Special theater seat pricing is available for students and seniors.

Music on the Hill: From Handel to Holiday Handbells Music on the Hill is pleased to present three distinctive – and distinctly different – concerts for its 2015 fall season. On Saturday, Oct. 24, hear Handel’s “Israel in Egypt” performed with soloists, double chorus and The Sebastians, New York City’s “leading young early-music ensemble” playing period instruments. Reputedly Handel’s favorite (if not best-known) oratorio, conductor Edward Thompson describes “Israel in Egypt” as “some of Handel’s best, most skillful, most imaginative writing ever.”

The concert begins at 8 p.m. at Norwalk Concert Hall, 125 East Ave. in Norwalk. It is a joint project of the Unitarian Church in Westport (Special Projects Choir) and Music on the Hill (Festival Chorus) and is presented free of charge as a gift to the community. The Music on the Hill Chamber Chorus will perform “Songs of Thanksgiving” on Friday evening, Nov. 20. This 16-voice professional-level ensemble is known for its impeccable choral performance. The concert will be held at Norfield Congregational Church in Weston, 64 Norfield Road, 7:30 p.m.

“Sounds of the Season,” a traditional Christmas concert, features the Jubilate Ringers handbell choir and the Festival Chorus performing traditional and less-known carols and

songs, with familiar carols sung by all. The concert takes place Friday, Dec. 11, at 7:30 p.m. at St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church in Wilton, 48 New Canaan Road. Tickets for the holiday concerts are $20 purchased in advance at musiconthehillCT.org; $25 at the door. Children and students are admitted free. Music on the Hill is an independent nonprofit organization.

Music for Youth Presents New Duke Ensemble at Pequot Library The New Duke Ensemble is an eight-piece band led by Brian Torff and is filled out by the Fairfield University Jazz Faculty.

They will bring their brass, drums, piano and vocalists on stage for an energizing afternoon of “classical jazz” to the Pequot Library in Southport on Saturday afternoon, Oct. 24, 2 p.m.

Torff is a professor of music and the music program director at Fairfield University as well as a featured bass soloist in jazz festivals throughout the U.S. New Duke, an acclaimed eight-piece band, performs Torff ’s updated arrangements of Duke Ellington’s Cotton Club period, infused with funk, hiphop, reggae, world beat and other contemporary rhythms.

New Duke features many of the great band teachers in Fairfield County: Torff on bass, harmonica and vocals, plus composing and arranging; Darryl Tookes, vocals; Jamie Finegan, trumpet; Rick Sadlon, saxophone and flute; Steve Moran, tenor and baritone sax; John Fumasoli, trombone; Dave Childs, keyboards; and Don Mulvaney, drums.

Music for Youth’s mission is to foster the love and knowl-

edge of classical music in young people. This commitment is realized each season with a series of free Young Persons’ Concerts, a school residency program, and an annual scholarship. For more information, visit musicforyouth.net. For the program on Oct. 24, a master class will follow the performance. There is a $30 registration fee to secure your place.

Space is limited. Call 203-254-0123 for more information or email musicforyouthct@gmail.com.

Second, the shift in thinking reflects the idea that “everybody’s in, even if the targets and timetables are different. No more countries sitting on the sidelines.”

Similarly, our past emphasis on getting meaningful commitments only from only developed countries was misguided, he said—pointing out the disastrous 2009 U.N. Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen during which, he explained, “developing countries such as India and China, with hugely expanding economies, were allowed to sit on the sidelines and do nothing for climate change.”

Advocating for this approach rather than one of “common but differentiated responsibility,” he acknowledged, “was the biggest mistake of my career.”

Today’s talks, he said, are different in two important ways.

First, they’re moving away from mandates in favor of financial incentives and voluntary actions.

“Getting a law passed or a treaty signed was considered a success in the twentieth century,” he said, even in the absence of implementation or enforcement.

Esty, a clinical professor of environmental law and policy at Yale Law School, noted that previous attempts to reach climate change agreements had failed for a variety of reasons.

“A top-down approach—the idea that we could get climate change work done solely by government mandate—was wrong,” comparing the passage of laws and treaties to “getting a mission statement written if you’re a business.” It’s a good start, but meaningless unless you deliver.

Malloy Esty also commented on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Clean Power Plan, which raises expectations for states that have done little or nothing to reduce their high carbon emissions.

“Connecticut’s economic competitiveness is about to get a big shot in the arm, as other states are now expected to step up,” he said.

“Still,” he added, “the EPA’s plan is very cleverly designed so that states that have already put their shoulder to the wheel and driven the process forward, states like Connecticut, are being asked to do the most, while foot-draggers—including many Midwestern states—have gotten away with doing little or nothing about their emissions.”

While a differentiated strategy “makes it hard for the foot-draggers to complain when other states are doing so much more,” he said, “commissioners in more progressive states have cause to be angry.”

It’s an historic celebration with special guests and highlights.
