23-year-old CEO takes charge of Danbury nonprofit

M Summit Development buys Danbury’s Matrix Corporate Center for $17M

The Matrix Corporate Center will be subdivided.

T Summit Development’s Felix Charney.

he Matrix Corporate Center, the former Union Carbide headquarters in Danbury, has been bought by Southportbased Summit Development for $17 million or $16 per square foot.

Summit’s plans for the complex at 39 Old Ridgebury Road, which has stood largely vacant for the past several months, call for converting it into a unique office, retail and residential complex.

The site, which originally includ-

ed 650 acres when Union Carbide moved there from Manhattan in the 1980s, today consists of 100 acres, 25 of which are to be zoned for residential development.

Summit plans to repurpose the building by subdividing it into 700,000 square feet of Class A office space; 400,000 square feet of residential apartments; 100,000 square feet of conference and event space; and 100,000 square feet of core services and amenities.

ost college graduates begin their professional careers at entry-level positions. But Justin Calitro is a bit different: his first professional career opportunity finds him as the CEO of the nonprofit Danbury War Memorial.

And how did he score such a job?

“I kind of threw my name in there,” recalled the 23-year-old Calitro when he learned that the position was available. “I was thinking, ‘Why not?’ I was looking for a job for a year after college. I went through three different interviews.”

Calitro, who is the son of city Planning Director Sharon Calitro, graduated from Sacred Heart University last year with a double major in sports management and finance and worked in the school’s athletics facilities program while he was a student. He is now running a $500,000 organization with a 14-person part-time workforce that serves a dual purpose as a fitness and community center and as a memorial that honors local veterans who served in 20th and 21st century wars.

While Calitro stressed that his education gave him the skill set needed to handle his daily duties, much of his work since taking on the CEO role in June has been on-the-job learning.

For example, Calitro made efforts to reach out to veterans by setting aside convenient parking spaces for those who earned the Purple Heart while

William Raveis: Building a real estate empire

I

t’s nearly impossible to drive around Fairfield and Westchester counties without encountering a William Raveis “For Sale” sign, and for good reason. The Shelton-based Realtor maintains 134 offices across nine states and recorded $10.2 billion in real estate sales last year.

As a result, William Raveis Real Estate (WRRE), Mortgage & Insurance has been ranked the top family-owned real estate company in the Northeast and the No. 9 real estate company in the country by consulting group REAL Trends, and in February received Luxury Portfolio International’s “Top Luxury Brokerage Award” for overall engagement in Luxury Portfolio among 565 brokerages across 65 countries.

In addition, WRRE Co-Presidents Chris and Ryan Raveis were ranked the 36th most powerful and influential real estate leaders on the Swanepoel Power 200, one of the industry’s most closely watched rankings, for 2017-18.

But while the Raveis brothers run things day to day, Founder, Chairman, CEO (and dad) William Raveis is still very much an active presence, splitting most of his time between Shelton and his office in Southport, which is festooned with artifacts from the Revolutionary War, reflecting one of his avid passions.

The senior Raveis, aged 72, was a prime mover behind two of the firm’s latest deals: the June acquisition of Niantic’s Heritage Properties, with more than $150 million in sales volume; and the September joint venture with Palm Beach’s Fite Group Luxury Homes, designed to create what he called “the luxury real estate powerhouse in Florida.”

Raveis recently sat down with the Business Journal’s Kevin Zimmerman to talk about a wide range of topics, from his humble beginnings in Fairfield and his talent-scouting abilities to grooming his two sons to run the business.

Should Chris and Ryan decide to sell after their father is gone, he said, “I’ll come out of the grave and haunt them and their families for the rest of their lives.”

How does one go from starting a small office above a Fairfield grocery store in 1974 to overseeing a $10.2 billion empire?

“I went to corporate America (after graduating in 1967 from the University of Dayton in Ohio with a B.S. in business administration) as a systems analyst at United Technology in Stratford, and after a couple of years left to join

“There was a big meeting at the Biltmore Hotel that year with 200 regional vice presidents and the chairman of the board, Don Burnham, never mentioned my name. I thought, ‘I’ve spent five years doing this and nobody says anything? I’m out.’

“My father was a bricklayer and I’d mix concrete for him. I decided I liked the smell of sawdust, so I decided to get into the real estate business by opening the office in Fairfield, which was just a phone and a desk.

“What I decided was, when I was able to start hiring folks, to make them a customer, that the agent is the primary customer. If they don’t make revenue, you don’t make any revenue. My idea was to help them build their infrastructure, get them the right technology.

Anything that they are not good at, you do for them.

“I actually think of us more as a marketing and technology company that happens to be in the real estate business.

“I’m a talent scout. I’ve spent some 45 years looking at people and sizing them up. Now we have 4,500 agents in 134 offices, and our insurance company has 15,000 customers.

Bob Stefanowski:

CONNECTICUT’S REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR COMMENTS ON THE ECONOMY, INFRASTRUCTURE, MINIMUM WAGE AND PRESIDENT TRUMP

BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN

Have you met Donald Trump?

“No, I never have.”

kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

I

n the final part of his interview with the Fairfield County Business Journal, Republican gubernatorial candidate Bob Stefanowski discusses the legalization of the recreational use of marijuana, keeping the state’s minimum wage where it is, and his thoughts on Dan Malloy, Donald Trump and his Democratic opponent Ned Lamont.

You’ve been compared to him, unfavorably, by your opponent. I’m not going to ask you to comment on Trump’s policies one by one, but where do you agree with him?

“I like his economic policy. I like that he puts America first. He’s been revising a lot of lousy deals we’ve been involved with, and he’s proven that a businessperson’s approach can work. National GDP grew in the second quarter (gross domestic product increased at a 4.2 percent annualized rate, the Commerce Department said last month), and I’m eager to see what it did in the third quarter. We could use some of that economic policy in Connecticut.”

How do you go about improving the state’s infrastructure?

“Bring the private sector in. There’s a ton of money waiting to be invested. You need to know what you’re doing to negotiate these kinds of things. I’m in a pretty good position to do it.

“We have got to get highspeed rail in. That will help real estate values, as it has in other states and other countries.”

You’ve said you’re against Mr. Lamont’s proposal to raise the state’s minimum wage, from $10.10 to $15 an hour.

“That’s bringing it up 50 percent, which will choke middle- and small-sized businesses. I think we should leave it where it is. Otherwise you’re passing (the increase) on to consumers, or companies will automate more and put people out of work. Tolls, increasing the minimum wage, those are exactly what we don’t need.”

Mr. Lamont and others have proposed legalizing the recreational use of marijuana as a revenue driver.

Why are you against that?

“I want to see a test for sobriety first, like we have for alcohol, which I’m pretty sure is not in use anywhere. The results from (legalizing) in Colorado have been mixed. Medical marijuana, absolutely, but when it comes to recreational, we need more protections before we do that. We have to put safety first.”

You’ve been a vocal critic of Gov. Malloy. What’s one thing that he did as governor that you agreed with?

“The flippant answer would be his decision not to run again. (Long pause) I don’t really have anything I can point at.”

Connecticut’s Republican candidate Bob Stefanowski campaigns for governor.

What about sports betting as a way to create revenue?

“Everyone else has it, so we should take a look, too.

With what’s going on with MGM, the tribes and online, we have to have an overall solution to gambling. But it’s got to be the right approach.”

On Oct. 1 you launched the “Connecticut Women for Change’’ coalition, which is being led by Republican National Committeewoman Leora Levy of Greenwich, national Republican strategist Noelle Nikpour and your wife, Amy. What do you expect to come from that?

“They’re going to focus on the issues out there that are important to women, and provide more direct feedback on what’s on people’s minds. It’s a statement that I’m committed to addressing the concerns of women, which I am.”

FCBJ

It’s been alleged that one result of your elimination of the income tax would be skyrocketing health care costs. How do you respond?

“First off, I’m totally for protecting those with pre-existing conditions. I’ve never said anything other than that.

It’s codified in state law and it should stay that way.

“My mom died a year ago, and my dad burned through what he’d worked all his life to save in three years to take care of her. I’m not in favor of the single-payer model. We need more options. We need more choice, more affordable health care, at the most cost-effective prices.”

You feature your father in one of your TV ads. Did it take some convincing to get him to do that or was he gung-ho about it?

“Oh, he was gung-ho.

He’s a great example of Connecticut. He went to

Getting the economy moving is my No. 1 priority. Doing that will allow us to raise revenues for education, health care, all the other things we want to do.

Hillhouse High School in New Haven, met my mom there when he was 15. They were together for 60 years.

He worked for the phone company and they saved their money, never bought a new car, took a week’s vacation in Maine. Then I watched him writing $5,000 checks a week to take care of my mom.

“But (the election) has re-energized him. It’s really helped his spirits quite a bit.

He’s proud of me.”

I’m assuming you took some heart from State Comptroller Kevin Lembo’s remarks that the state could end Fiscal Year 2019 in the black, if only by $164.2 million?

“I was happy to hear it, but we have to be careful. A lot of that was because of a onetime repatriation due to the federal tax cut. Ned Lamont likes to trash the tax cut that came out of Washington, but this just shows what a good tax policy can do.”

Do you believe you have any common ground with Mr. Lamont?

“The need to fund education, to take care of that and health care. We both see the need to invest in those things. It’s just that our means to those goals are different.”

If elected, what is the first thing you would do as governor?

“Get the economy moving, lower taxes, cut spending. Getting the economy moving is my No. 1 priority.

Doing that will allow us to raise revenues for education, health care, all the other things we want to do.

“I’ve enjoyed campaigning, meeting people and hearing what’s on their minds. People are dying for somebody in there (the governorship) who gets it.”

ASK ANDI | Andi Gray

Repeat mistakes can’t happen We are having trouble getting some of our employees to pay attention when they make mistakes. It’s almost like they get in a groove and can’t get themselves out of it. When there’s a mistake, we discuss it. The employees tell me they get it and then turn around and do it again.

What am I doing wrong?

THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: Make sure employees understand that making mistakes is part of learning. Point out the need to improve and cite other examples of when and where employees have done exactly that, made a mistake and then taken action to improve. Talk about improvement as an opportunity to get ahead. The examples you set leading the organization are critical to the company’s long-term success.

Build on what employees do right. Accept that mistakes happen, and sometimes people have built up habits for doing things that get in the way of changing.

Stay alert for mistakes that inevitably happen and know when to step in and say something about it.

Check if the employee is missing skills. Ask the employee to explain what happened and why they chose to take the actions they did. Explain where the breakdown may have occurred from your point of view. Ask employees to respond by talking through how they might do the task differently next time. Then create opportunities to try again, with supervision.

Make sure you can talk about the facts of what happened. If another employee

Andi Gray

or manager reported seeing or hearing something problematic, get corroboration.

Encourage employees to be accountable by coming forward with examples of mistakes that they need help correcting.

Start the discussion with success examples, things the employee has done right.

State your confidence that the employee will get this one right, too. Talk through

specific corrections or steps the employee has to follow in order to make things work the way you want them to work. Ask the employee to restate back to you what steps will be taken to complete the task correctly.

Correct a mistake and ask the employee to play it back from the beginning. Once the employee can describe actions to take, have him or her go do it, and monitor steps being taken. In case of missteps, intercede and explain what is off track. Stick with it until the employee can perform the task without error. Thank the employee for sticking with it and offer congratulations on a job well done.

Explain how making changes will lead to higher skill levels and that mastering the correct way to do things will lead to success in the organization. Reinforce that doing things the right way saves the company

money, insures happier customers and improves the company’s reputation for a job well done. These are all values for which the company stands, and which lead to the outstanding reputation the company enjoys in its market. Congratulate the employee on being part of the effort to ensure the company keeps its standing as an excellent provider of products or services.

As the leader, you want to encourage employees to come forward, seek help and learn from mistakes.

Employees who know they’re working in a learning environment are more likely to seek help, learn faster and stick with difficult tasks until they’re mastered. Provide correction not criticism when things go wrong. Keep in mind that people are wired to want to do a good job and that when things go wrong it’s because of a misun-

derstanding. Your job is to correct that misunderstanding in a positive way and reinforce the correct way to do things until it becomes a habit.

Employees commute from out of state.

Their health plan should return the favor.

It’s only fair. Employees need access to doctors and hospitals where they live and where they work.

Our network extends beyond Connecticut, into New York, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. What’s more, it includes every hospital in Connecticut and most of the doctors, too.

Add exceptional service to the equation, and it’s no wonder we’re the most recommended health plan across Connecticut.1

Matrix —

rior of the corporate center, which will be renamed The Ridge at Danbury, should begin “almost immediately” and that he hoped work on the exterior and the surrounding roads, which will require permits from the city, would be underway soon. If all goes according to plan, Charney said, the site should be ready to accept new tenants in the first quarter of next year.

Charney said that he plans to offer the lowest Class A office rents in Fairfield and Westchester counties.

“Danbury is a really good office market and we had great success at Lee Farm,” he said, referring to the 215,000-square-foot building Summit sold last year for $31.75 million. “There’s a great highway system that allows for easy commuting to and from Westchester County and it has great proximity to a considerable labor pool.”

Charney’s talent for identifying underperforming commercial properties in the Connecticut and New York area and successfully repositioning them includes not only Lee Farm, but also the Norden Systems plant in Norwalk, which was repurposed into a mixed-use residential and office complex; the abandoned Handy and Harmon factory in Fairfield, which was converted into a Whole Foods-anchored retail center; and his largest redevelopment project to date, the 114-acre former Reader’s

in military service. He also created a discounted membership for veterans as well as for first responders and the seniors who use the recreational facilities.

“That is something I put into place when I first got here,” he said. “There was one price, $200 for the fullyear membership, and now the discounted price is $150.”

He also instituted a series of new guidelines to control what he diplomatically dubbed “a lot of bad habits” by some people who make use of the facilities, and updated the contract

Digest headquarters campus in Chappaqua, New York, which involved converting a 700,000-square-foot office building into Chappaqua Crossing, a multitenant, office-residential-retail center anchored by Whole Foods.

“I think companies are looking for better office rental options,” Charney said, “and we are uniquely positioned to supply the lowest Class A options within a 50-mile radius.”

Charney said that The Ridge has the capability of bringing 3,200 jobs to the city.

Summit will also work to make the move to The Ridge as inexpensive as possible, by offering free test fits, turn-

key-buildout and covering moving expenses, Charney said. “Outside of furniture, IT and their communications systems, we will address the majority of their needs,” he said. “We want to make the move as painless as possible.”

Given Danbury’s proximity to the New York state border, the developer said Summit will target both Connecticut and New York companies to occupy The Ridge. “For brokers with New York state-based tenants, Connecticut is standing by to offer a long list of economic incentives to businesses relocating into the state,” Charney said.

In addition, Summit is

working with commercial real estate broker Cushman & Wakefield to launch a major leasing and marketing effort in both counties for the newly acquired space.

“With stable ownership and a major reinvestment strategy, we are confident that we can kick-start the leasing activity and we’ll go from there,” he said.

“The current business climate has allowed Summit Development to acquire this property in an environment that will enable our team and the market to participate in a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to craft creative and economically attractive deals for a variety of all different com-

mercial users,” said Adam Klimek, a senior director at Cushman & Wakefield. “It will be a game-changer.”

The Ridge is surrounded by for-sale and for-rent residential developments encompassing 2,000 units with more than 4,000 residents. Charney said he believes the west side of Danbury is under-retailed.

“We are exploring ways to address the shortage of daily needs for retail, entertainment and lifestyle experiences with the construction and installation of those services at or near our building.”

Built in 1983 at a cost of about $190 million, the

building has gone through several iterations ever since.

Union Carbide was bought for $7.3 billion by The Dow Chemical Co. in 2001, leading to a reduction of staff and subletting of space to other companies.

In 2007, now known as the Corporate Center, it was sold to commercial real estate broker Grubb & Ellis (now Newmark Knight Frank) for $80 million, which sold it in 2009 to Matrix Realty Group for $72.4 million, resulting in the Matrix Corporate Center name.

The building had fallen on hard times of late.

Charney said it had dropped from roughly 70 percent occupancy a few years ago to about 15 percent today, as high-profile tenants like Praxair, once a part of Union Carbide, General Motors and Boehringer Ingelheim exited.

Still, he said, four new tenants are in “various stages of negotiations” for taking space at the building, and Christian nonprofit Guideposts, which had been threatening to relocate, has been convinced to remain.

As for the name change from the familiar Matrix to The Ridge, Charney said it was made to reflect “how we’re moving in a new direction. Plus it’s literally on a ridge, a hilltop, that’s highly visible from I-84 and other roads.

“Our skill is repurposing assets, not necessarily renaming them,” he added with a chuckle. “The name I’d really like it to have is ‘success.’ ”

no day is the same,” he said.

“And that’s the cool thing about this job.”

However, the Danbury War Memorial was built in 1951 and it has been showing its age. Calitro pointed to a renovation in the fitness center prior to his arrival, and he is eager to bring more updates. “We have windows that we’d like to open up and get some light,” he said, pointing to a series of opaque windows crowning the basketball court that serve no illuminative purpose.

The nonprofit receives financing from a mix of membership fees, municipal funds and grants.

Calitro said that he is in the process of “closing some deals I can’t reveal yet. In 2019, there will be a lot of things happening that will be very positive for the War Memorial.”

For the War Memorial’s members, having a CEO who is significantly younger than the typical chief executive is a fact of life.

“The first week or so here, I started using the facility downstairs after work and at first, people didn’t know I was the man in charge,” Calitro said. “At first, they were like, ‘Who’s this kid?

He’s running the place?’

Now, everybody knows it.”

The former Union Carbide headquarters will feature office space, residential apartments, conference and event space.

procedures for individuals and organizations that rent rooms and the basketball court at the center.

The Danbury War Memorial hosts a number of special classes ranging from driver’s education to pet training to yoga and dance. It also serves as a location for students seeking activities to keep them off the street between the end of the school day and their parents’ arrival home from work. Next month, the center kicks off its annual men’s winter league basketball season, with 38 teams in competition.

Suite Talk Adnan Durrani, founder and CEO of American Halal Company Inc.

L

ast month, Connecticut’s Immigrant Heritage Hall of Fame included Adnan Durrani, the Pakistani-born founder and CEO of Stamfordbased American Halal Company Inc., as part of its 2018 inductions. Durrani’s company is responsible for the Saffron Road brand product line of halal-certified foods that is sold in supermarkets across the U.S. Durrani began his career in the venture capital world before dropping finance in favor of food and beverages. He founded Vermont Pure in 1991, which was later acquired by Cott Beverages and became Vermont Pure/Crystal Rock, the second-largest bottled water company in the Northeast.

Durrani later teamed with Condor Ventures as financial partners in the dairy provider Stonyfield Farms Inc., and then became a principal in the cookie brand Delicious Brands Inc. The Saffron Road brand was launched in 2010 and covers more than 100 different halal-certified products spanning the cuisine’s meal, appetizer, sauce, broth, bread and snack categories.

(Halal is the Arabic word for “lawful” and halal food adheres to Islamic dietary law and restrictions that are defined in the Koran.)

Durrani spoke with Business Journal reporter Phil Hall on his distinctive place within the food industry and his efforts to bring halal-certified food to a wider audience.

First, congratulations on your induction into the Immigrant Heritage Hall of Fame. How did that come about?

“I don’t even know. I suspect it is because we do a lot of work in Connecticut.

We’ve been in the Inc. 5000 three times in a row as one of the fastest-growing companies in Connecticut.”

humanely handled. That’s a very tough certification.”

I am glad to see that you are still active and about.

With most hall of fame inductions, the people being honored are either deceased or very, very old.

“I’m glad it’s not that!”

I should add that this is one of the very few times I’ve interviewed somebody whose products I love. I especially love the Saffron Road lamb entrées.

“Oh, that’s wonderful.”

So, what is the journey from having an a-ha moment for a product idea to putting the product on a grocery shelf?

“We’re really nimble and we have an amazing team, so it’s usually anywhere (from) as little as

six to 12 months. We’ve launched some products in less than three months, which is insane. Our partners like Whole Foods love that about us and the larger competitors like Nestle or ConAgra or Kraft Heinz are shocked at our development cycle.

“Also, the products we’re putting out adhere to standards that are so high. We were the first non-GMO-verified frozen entrée in the world, and we were the first antibiotic-free entrée in Whole Foods. And when we’re going to market, it is not just about how fast can we get to market, it’s whether we have the ‘Wow!’ idea in terms of taste and quality, and if it can adhere to our really strict sourcing and supply standards.”

We are at $50 million. Our goal in the next three years is to be a $100 million business. We have about 30 full-time employees, with about 20 in this office and sales people who are remote.

How does halal certification differ from kosher certification?

“It is very similar, almost identical. Kosher, like halal, requires that animals are harvested and handled in a very mindful way. We don’t use any factory farms and a lot of the kosher farms are similar in that respect. One of the areas where we differ, although kosher has been stepping up a lot lately, is that halal is also concerned about how the animal was when it was slaughtered [and] how it was treated when it was living. Was it treated humanely? What were the values around its feed? For us, it has to be 100 percent vegetarian feed on an antibiotic-free farm.

And it has to be certified as humanely raised and

How much of your consumer base are those who adhere to a halal diet?

“Our model was never about just the halal consumer. There are between 6 and 8 million halal consumers in this country, a very strong demographic. We were the first and I think we are still the only, national halal company in this country that services that community, which has $30 billion in food-buying power.

“According to Gallup, one out of five American-Muslim households has a Ph.D or an M.D. in it. The AmericanMuslim woman, according to Gallup, is the second-most educated woman in America after the Jewish-American woman. They were not the immigrants who went to Europe. The immigrants that came here were highly educated, with 70 percent being more educated than the average American, earning a 30 percent higher income. And they are very young: 75 to 80 percent are millennials. So, it’s a marketer’s dream, and it’s a growing demographic.

“But we never based our business model on that consumer. It’s where we started, not where we ended. It’s a core part of our base, but about 80 to 85 percent of our consumers are not halal consumers. They are natural organic consumers who are cued into what is the sourcing, how clean is the product, how healthy is it and, the most important thing is how does it perform on a ‘Wow’ taste.”

I have to admit that I was unfamiliar with the Saffron Road brand until I saw it one day in the frozen food section of Whole Foods. How do you market your brand?

“We’re competing against a $100 billion company like

Nestle or a $30 billion company like ConAgra or Kraft Heinz, so as a result we obviously cannot spend on Super Bowl ads or any major radio ads. Our base has always been the millennial consumer, and we have a big chunk of later baby boomers. We focus on social media, so our facing to our consumer tends to be on Instagram, on Pinterest and Facebook. We also have a lot of bloggers and influencers in different communities.

Within that, our biggest is gluten-free consumers because 90 percent of our entrée line is gluten free, and so is probably 80 percent of our snack line. So, we are connected with bloggers and consumers in the gluten-free community. We are also connected with bloggers and consumers in the non-GMO community.

“And during the holidays like Ramadan, we were very connected to that community’s bloggers. Especially when we are doing product launches with Whole Foods or Stop & Shop, or if we’re doing something with Kroger and Publix down south and Safeway on the West Coast, we’ll connect with them and get the bloggers involved, and they will get the word out on the brand.

“Also, 90 percent of our marketing dollar goes into the packaging on the shelf.

So, the package has to be really good. I’ve always said that it’s not the 3,000 miles it takes to get that food on the shelf that counts, it’s the 18 inches of the consumer having to open the fogged-up freezer door and grab the product and put it in their cart. The 18 inches is what we invest in. We invest in that part of the experience rather than in advertising in magazines.”

about, which shows you how much I know.

We do fail at times.”

Is Saffron Road available outside of the U.S.?

“There is a little bit available in Canada.

We get an enormous amount of offers for overseas. About four or five years ago, there was the World Halal Forum in Malaysia and the prime minister of Malaysia gave us the award as the best halal product in the world, and we haven’t sold a single product in Malaysia. Three years ago, Sheikh Mohammed, the ruler of Dubai, held the World Middle East Forum.

There was only a first-prize winner and he gave us the award as best halal food company in the world, and we don’t sell a single thing in Dubai. We are growing at a pretty fast rate and we want to make sure that we meet our capacity needs here.”

What is the company’s revenue?

“We are at $50 million. Our goal in the next three years is to be a $100 million business. We have about 30 full-time employees, with about 20 in this office and sales people who are remote.”

I almost hate to ask this, but there are plenty of kooks out there who like to create trouble. As a company offering halal-certified food, have you been harassed by such people?

“Any time you are launching a product that appeals to a certain dietary group or a certain ethnic group, there is going to be a little bit of backlash. When we first launched in 2010, there was a bit of a controversy and I had to go on CNN (in response to anti-Muslim comments aimed at the company) and clear the air. I kind of felt something was going to happen,

so I put a rapid-response team together with about 1,000 folks. Many of them were business leaders, rabbis, pastors, imams and various other influencers. And we said that we would be launching through Whole Foods and we expect there will be some blowback. We’ve had people supporting us, all the way from the Vatican down, who engaged on our behalf. Since then, it has been phenomenal.”

You have support from the Vatican and you received an award from the sheikh of Dubai. How does this not go to your head?

“Sometimes it can get a bit heady. But I’d like to think it’s not me. It’s the team we have here. I always try to humble myself.

The ballast for me is that I am very blessed to have that. But it is hard work. It takes quite a bit of energy to put this all together.”

Got a loan. Created a legacy.

One aspect of Saffron Road that appeals to my personal dietary needs is the low sodium content.

“We took out a lot of sodium from the meals that we sell. We don’t position ourselves as Lean Cuisine or Weight Watchers, but a lot of doctors prescribe Saffron Road to their patients because it has half the sodium as Lean Cuisine.”

Todd Danbury, CT

The halal culinary experience is diverse and spans several continents.

How do you determine what foods will appeal to consumers?

“Our mantra is world cuisine. We started in Indian and Thai because we felt those categories were devoid of innovation and demanded quality. We worked with top chefs and came out with amazing culinary designs. Our instinct was right on that. We are always looking for the next edge on what would be popular in the next three, four or five years. What we’re seeing at various trade shows and consumer affinity groups.”

He turned flexible financing into a high-volume dealership. Thanks to a bank that believed in him when no one else would. More power to you, Todd.

Have there been products that didn’t make the grade?

“We reject a lot of products that had great nutritionals but didn’t taste good.

I love Moroccan food and we launched a couple of Moroccan products and, unfortunately my favorite one, the Moroccan lamb stew, didn’t sell at all, which I was shocked NSB_Commercial_7.375x7.125_4c.indd 1

Accountant who oversaw fraud detection services accused of fraud

30 Years after HR 5050: Why it Still Matters

BY FRAN PASTORE

O

n Oct. 12, nearly 1,000 people came together in Greenwich for Women Rising 2018, the Women’s Business Development Council’s annual gala, celebrating and supporting women’s economic independence. It was a powerful thing to see so many people come together for such an important and timely cause. It was only 30 years ago that H.R. 5050, The Women’s Business Ownership Act of 1988, passed. It is landmark legislation that recognized female entrepreneurs, giving them support and the right to secure a loan without a male co-signer. Think about that. Prior to the passage of this legislation, a woman needed a man’s signature to get a loan. Only 30 years ago.

Since then, progress has been made. In the U.S. alone, women-owned businesses are growing 2.5 times the national average of all firms, employing 9 million people and generating over $1.7 trillion in revenue. Women are economically empowering themselves by becoming business leaders and inspiring younger generations to do the same. Despite this progress and the undeniable clout of women-owned businesses, we continue to face financial inequity. Nearly 17 million women live in poverty while gender pay gaps still exist and discrimination remains an inexcusable reality with workplace policies creating ongoing challenges.

While women have made significant strides in all sectors of society, demanding a seat at the table – in the corporate world, in the halls of Congress and in their own businesses – we still have a long way to go to secure an equitable workplace and to proliferate the economic empowerment of women. Thirty years since H.R. 5050 gave fair access to capital and began

opening doors for female business leaders, our social and business climates have never been better aligned to promote further change. As 51 percent of the population and an influential contributor to local, national and global economies, women have enormous potential to boost our economic growth and forge social transformation, creating the change the world needs.

Women continue to be inspired to create change. We are investing our time, talent and financial support to promote a more equitable workplace and economy. Organizations like the Women’s Business Development Council offer those with expertise in areas such as personal finance, running and managing a business and marketing a way to make a difference with mentorship and training. When women entrepreneurs receive the training they need to launch new businesses and scale existing ones – creating jobs for themselves and others – they stimulate economies and build strong communities.

A better workplace is within our reach. With the partnership of our male allies, we can advocate for our work, promote education to open better opportunities, encourage more women to take on leadership roles and share our skills and experience to create the equality and guidance young women need and deserve.

Fran Pastore is the founder and CEO of the Women’s Business Development Council, a leading organization for championing female entrepreneurship. A globally recognized expert on the issue of women’s economic equity, Fran serves on the Board of Women Impacting Public Policy (WIPP) and on the Advisory Council for The Akilah Institute for Women, the only women’s college in Rwanda.

A

n accountant from Stamford who was responsible for fraud and forensic accounting services for a Manhattan firm has been charged with fraud in an alleged $2 million intellectual property scheme that operated in part in Westchester County.

Steven L. Henning, 57, a CPA and former partner at Marks Paneth Accountants & Advisors, was arrested Oct. 8 in St. Johns, Florida, and accused of wire fraud.

In 2014, the accounting firm quoted Henning in a press release as advocating spot audits to avoid a situation “where investments were missing, not because of market fluctuations, but because they didn’t exist in the first place.”

That, essentially, is the situation that the feds describe in the criminal complaint.

Attempts to contact Henning for a response failed.

“The actions alleged in the government’s complaint are not related to the business of the accounting firm,” Marks Paneth spokeswoman Diane Paoletta said, and the firm “continues to cooperate with the government’s investigation.”

In 2008, Henning formed MP&S Intellectual Property Associates LLC, according to a related federal lawsuit, to promote his idea of an intellectual property exchange. In 2011, the company changed its name to OpportunIP LLC. The U.S. Attorney’s Office said in a press release that OpportunIP had offices in Tarrytown and Purchase.

From 2012 to 2017, Henning allegedly carried out a scheme to persuade people to invest in the company, based on fraudulent documents.

Henning had been an assistant professor at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, before joining Marks Paneth in 2004. In 2012, he began pitching OpportunIP as an investment opportunity to a former student, who is not identified in the criminal complaint.

He allegedly claimed that the company was working on intellectual property license agreements with automobile manufacturers.

But there were no such deals, U.S. Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman said in the press release. The licensing and escrow agreements were fraudulent.

Eventually, the former student and another unnamed victim invested $2 million in OpportunIP, according to the criminal complaint.

After the victims transferred $1 million to a Texas bank account in 2015, the complaint states, $875,000 was wired to a New York City account controlled by Henning and $25,000 was transferred to an account in the name of Henning and his wife.

The accusations in the criminal case are mirrored by allegations in a federal lawsuit filed in April

by Golomb Merchantile Co. against Marks Paneth, OpportunIP and Henning.

In 2012, Adam Golomb, the complaint states, was introduced to Henning and another Marks Paneth representative. Golomb owned four automotive-related patents and he agreed to give OpportunIP exclusive rights to licensing his intellectual property.

Over the next five years, Golomb Mercantile claims, Henning allegedly perpetrated a series of frauds “through fabricated communications with potential buyers and licensors.”

Golomb Mercantile said Henning created

documents that purported to show interest in its patents by Ford Global Technologies, Volkswagen, Mercedes, Renault and Nissan.

In 2016, for instance, Henning allegedly provided a detailed but phony analysis of a proposed term sheet. “Henning then provided details of an imaginary negotiation with Mercedes, Renault and Nissan representatives.”

Henning and another Marks Paneth representative portrayed the accounting firm and OpportunIP as a single entity, Golomb Mercantile claims, that operated from offices in New York City and Westchester.

Golomb Mercantile said it relied on Henning’s credentials, as presented on the Marks Paneth website.

The accounting firm has promoted itself as a top forensic accounting service. A 2012 press release, for example, quotes Henning as stating, “Law firms, corporations, insurance carriers, nonprofits and government entities rely on Marks Paneth for our sophisticated forensic accounting, commercial litigation, fraud investigation, fraud protection and intellectual property services.”

In 2016, Henning was named Partner-in-Charge, Advisory, a role that included fraud and forensic accounting services.

For five years, Golomb Mercantile charges, it lost the opportunity to market its intellectual property. It accuses the firm and Henning of fraud and breach of contract and it is demanding at least $75,000 in damages.

The criminal case is being handled by the U.S. Attorney’s White Plains office. The charge carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

Raveis —

the schools were great, I was playing football. It was just beautiful. Everything about it was terrific.

“Then I got married, had kids and we stayed in Fairfield. It’s still a great community with great resources.”

or I wasn’t going to do it.

“But it was never going to be easy. I introduced them to everything that I was doing, and I asked them to run their own businesses when they turned 16. Chris found out at the end of a year that he hadn’t been paying the right amount of taxes, and he came to me and said, ‘What do I do?’ and I said, ‘That’s not my problem.’

“Another time, Chris was supposed to paint the outside of this building, which was built in ’86. He decided that, instead of using brushes, it would be easier to spray-paint. Well, it was a windy day that day and all the cars in the parking lot ended up getting spray painted. When he came to me, I said, ‘That’s your problem, not mine.’ He said, ‘But I’m not going to make any money!’ ‘That’s your problem, not mine.’ ” Good lessons, I’m sure.

But I know that Ryan spent several years at other companies, American Mortgage Services and Forrester, while Chris worked at Jones Lang LaSalle, and they both worked at Home-Link Services. Chris returned to WRRE in 2003, and Ryan followed in 2005.

“There was some gentle pushing on my part. But I told them they couldn’t come work here until they were 30, that I wanted them to get some experience before they joined the company. But ultimately it was their choice. As it turns out, they’re as good as they get.

They understand it. They get it. They have the integrity you need. It’s worked so far!”

‘meet’ with on the phone.

They’re running nail salons in the morning and real estate in the afternoon. How do you buy a house when you never meet somebody?

“It’s all funded by Wall Street, taking a traditional business and putting lipstick on it. But we are the most innovative company ever (in real estate), especially with our background in technology, hands down. Nobody else is even close.”

That you’re a family-owned and -run company makes WRRE something of an oddity in today’s real estate market, doesn’t it?

“We’re the only family business left of any note in the Northeast, and the second-largest, family-run business in the U.S. Everyone else is either owned by Wall Street or is a small, momand-pop firm. And now you have all these cockamamie things coming along, like Purple Bricks, where you have virtual agents that you

I know that another important part of what you do is the annual Raveis Ride + Walk fundraiser for cancer research, which this year took place on Sept. 30 in Norwalk. How did that come about?

“Somewhere around 25-30 years ago, Carolyn Deal, who was the president of the company at the time, was diagnosed with breast cancer and wound up having a double mastectomy. I’d never thought about breast cancer before, but we stood by her as she went through

the surgery and came back to work. She went through a lot.

“That underscored for me that there’s something bigger than us. We got involved with cancer research, breast cancer in particular, and put a portion of our earnings aside for donations.

“Then four or five years ago, my wife was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia and was given four months to live, which got me to thinking about what we could do for all cancers.

I did some snooping around and found (the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation in New York City), which has 12 Nobel Prize winners as part of its research team.

“One hundred percent of what we raise on the Ride + Walk goes to cancer research. Our goal this year was to raise $500,000 by Oct. 31, and we’re probably at around $460,000 now. That would take us to $2 million total in four years.

“And my wife, who was given four months to live, is now in her fourth year (since being diagnosed), thanks largely to the different protocols, drugs and procedures that we have now that we didn’t have five years ago.”

That’s wonderful.

Switching gears: What’s the best thing about living in Fairfield County?

“Growing up here was terrific. We lived in Bridgeport until I was 14, in a two-family house that had no hot water. Then we came to Fairfield and I was able to have a shower with hot water and live in a house that had heat, which was amazing.”

What led to the move from Bridgeport?

“My father and mother wanted me to succeed. The school system was better (in Fairfield), and I ended up being the first in the family to graduate from college.

“It was real ‘American Graffiti.’ The kids were great,

Statewide, though, there are still some major economic issues.

“There have been a number of political missteps made. It’s a less business-friendly state than it used to be. I’ve never been involved in politics, but I am now. I’m on (Republican gubernatorial candidate Bob) Stefanowski’s committee. I have a meeting with him every Thursday. (Over the summer it was reported that Raveis and his wife Candace wrote a $3,500 check to the Stefanowski campaign.)

“I just want pro-business policies brought back to the state, back to where it used to be. There is no CEO out there who’s 50-plus years old who wants to move his company here and deal with the income and corporate taxes.

“That’s got to change. My kids’ kids are going to be paying for the deficit we’re in now, some day.”

What do you like to do with your spare time?

“We used to travel a lot, although because of my wife’s illness we’ve tamped that down. We’ve been all over the world. There’s also golf. Right now I’m studying comparative religions, which I really enjoy. It’s another way to learn about people. Do I espouse one particular religion? No. But Buddhism is really pretty cool.”

Is there a particular business book out there that you’d recommend?

“I find most of them pretty boring. They’re all corporate related and I’m more interested in what motivates people. Why do people do the stuff they do? And I like to treat people the way they want to be treated, which is essentially what Confucius, the Buddha and Jesus all said. I find it fascinating that they all came up with the same message while living in different parts of the world.”

What’s your favorite movie?

“I like the tearjerkers, stories about how people overcame obstacles. ‘Schindler’s List’ comes to mind, which was pretty dark, but also pretty triumphant.”

How about television?

“There’s nothing good on.

Maybe I’ll watch the National Geographic channel, or ‘Nova.’ All the other stuff is boring to me. Even the TV news today is a little biased.”

Best restaurant in the county?

Liana’s Trattoria (in Fairfield). It has the right personal touch. They make their own pasta. It’s just like being in your Italian grandmother’s house. My wife and she are very good friends, and they serve vegetables that they mark on the menu as ‘from the Raveis garden.’ ” What led to your interest in Revolutionary War memorabilia?

“My wife has been antiquing for years and about 10 to 15 years ago we ran across a store that had some American Revolution items, which I got interested in. They told me that they’re impossible to collect, which was enough for me to go out and start finding things.

“Eventually I found Bill Guthman, who was a big Revolutionary War collector (Guthman died in 2006). He had a collection in his cellar that was about 3,000 square feet, with stuff on top of stuff, all of it of great historical significance. I offered to archive it for him, but on the condition that I could buy the best things.

“Today I have the only drum from that era in private hands, Paul Revere’s wallet, Hancock’s enlistment papers. All together there’s probably about 500 items.

I have a rifle here that was one of the first to be made in America. Everything else was imported from France.

“And when you think about it, what was the Revolution about? They didn’t like the way they were being treated, and it exploded from there. And we’re here because of all these people. It’s an honor to have some of the stuff from these great entrepreneurs.”

CONTRIBUTING WRITER | By Filomena Fanelli

Build it … then make sure they come

F

or those in the real estate industry, there often is a mentality that if you build it, they will come. While the “Field of Dreams” cornfield is an inspiring visual for a movie, in reality, a company needs to do more than simply build to succeed. It also needs to market.

The real estate business is challenging, competitive and moves at a rapid-fire pace.

Audiences, whether they are homebuyers, hotel guests, would-be office occupants, other businesses or the community at large, are inundated with options. So, how can a residential, retail or commercial brokerage, developer, landlord, designer, architect, investor or construction firm gain a much-needed edge and communicate what makes its buildings special?

FIRST THINGS FIRST

Begin with a focus on getting the right message to the right party, in the right way and at the right time. Ask questions and map out the desired

result to ensure a mindful, strategic approach toward media outreach, website development, social media voice, community alignments, influencer engagement and more. Dig into the who, what, when, where and why, and the how will rapidly unfold.

EXAMINE SEO

Many real estate entities are familiar with paid advertising tactics. A company may opt for event sponsorships, billboard or bus stop visibility, radio ads or a print ad in a magazine, newspaper or trade journal. These are wise investments if they are well thought out, but it’s also imperative to consider your firm’s SEO. This typically stands for search engine optimization, which will likely be part of an effective campaign.

But, in this instance, it signifies another easy-to-remember abbreviation: Shared, Earned and Owned media.

Shared media, the S in SEO, involves a social media strategy that allows a business to enter a dynamic dialogue

with customers or patrons.

Building out a presence in the correct social media channels, having a content plan— including which posts should be boosted and when, with a consistent style and look — and a social listening strategy will help one real estate company differentiate itself from others, humanize its brand and provide helpful data to drive a meaningful campaign.

It’s imperative to consider which social media vehicles will make the biggest impact for a brand.

A residential developer of a waterfront property may want to invest time in Instagram, while a real estate investment firm may wish to spend a good deal of time cultivating its LinkedIn audience and making the most of the platform’s Publisher feature.

Even old school businesses can benefit from harnessing the power of social media more fully, particularly when trying to reach diverse audiences across multiple generations.

EARN YOUR WAY

Earned media, the E in SEO, is the unpaid exposure a brand can garner in a print publication or broadcast media, such as radio, television or podcast interviews. It can come about as a result of events with a media-worthy angle, contributed articles created for specific media or creative pitching of stories directly to media, based on the state of the market, trending news, a formal announcement of company updates or another pitch designed to secure coverage based on merit alone.

Keep in mind that a concerted executive thought leadership campaign, that is, a consistent effort to position a company leader as the expert in his or her field through guest columns, speaking engagements and other front-and-center tactics, can lead to additional opportunities to be quoted in articles or for a business or project profile. Here, results build upon results and the benefits stack up.

Intelligent marketers know their company’s assets

are the most valuable of all.

Newsletters, blogs, videos, podcasts, articles and even a company’s website content are valuable collateral that can be repurposed and shared with audiences. It’s no wonder that, according to HubSpot, 53 percent of marketers say blogging is their top priority. The reasons are clear: blogging is an asset that can enhance lead generation, overall brand awareness, increase indexed pages, boost search engine results and more. Plus, owned content is perfect fodder for social media posts and a good way to let journalists know of expertise so that a news source can be more readily trusted and called upon.

TIE IT TOGETHER

For any real estate company looking to optimize exposure and results, an integrated approach is ideal. The success an organization has with media mentions should be shared on the firm’s social media feeds then brought over to its newsletter, blog and other outlets. Having a

well-rounded strategy allows a business to proactively build its reputation and goodwill, counter negative news should it arise and lay a solid foundation for the future.

For those who are unsure of where to begin, how to execute or ways to make the most of the momentum, professional help can be invaluable.

Hiring a public relations or communications firm to analyze the message and create with a smart, actionable plan to make the most of shared, earned, owned — and even paid media — is an investment that pays off. A fully leased building, sold-out development or well-launched hotel or retail center are signs of a dream fulfilled.

University of Bridgeport students win residential accessibility design competition

BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com

S

tudents from the University of Bridgeport’s Shintaro Akatsu School of Design recently won three out of four awards at the Visitability Home Design Contest, a statewide competition, which challenges sophomore-level teams to create residences that can best serve people with disabilities. For Marsha Matto, chairwoman of the university’s interior design program, the challenge of creating this type of dwelling involves having students experience what the residents of such a home would go through.

“We have a wheelchair,” Matto said. “We put them in a wheelchair and say, ‘Use the bathroom.’ And then, we say, ‘What is difficult and what are the touch points that you would change?’ It’s very difficult because the

students that are competing are sophomores. This is when they first start their studio projects. They haven’t yet developed the abilities to put themselves in the space and walk through it.”

The Visitability competition seeks a design for a 2,000-square-foot home on a plot of land measuring 140 feet by 100 feet. “From that square footage, they develop an entire house, and they go above and beyond,” Matto added, noting that three minimum requirements include a zero-step clearance for the front entrance, wider-than-average hallways and one first-floor bathroom that meets the standards set out in the Americans with Disabilities Act. “We try and, obviously, exceed those minimums.”

To provide her students with more insight, Matto recruited a couple from Woodbury who use wheelchairs and called on her to

design their home to meet their accessibility needs.

“They were kind enough to come and talk to my students (about) their everyday issues,” she said. “When I first started working with them, the husband would have to pull up sideways to the sink, turn his body in order to wash the dishes. And that caused a lot of back pain. He had to take breaks and stretch. When they share their stories and issues with the students, the students really get it.”

Matto also noted that the couple offered insight that she was not previously aware of. “Not all wheelchairs are equal,” she continued. “That was eye-opening for me when I started working with them because I just assumed a wheelchair is a wheelchair. They’re both small people, but hers is wider and his is narrower and longer. It’s interesting how that comes into play.

The first thing you have to do when taking on a job like this is to measure what they

are using.”

To design the homes for the competition, Matto’s students literally start from the ground up.

“Something like flooring changes have to be addressed,” she explained.

“It is very difficult to go from one type of a floor to another, and it is also a tripping hazard. Area rugs can be very dangerous. Wood is really easy to use and so is larger tile.”

The students also take into consideration furnishings and how they fit into the space. And the design is not limited to living quarters.

Making an attached garage accessible for people with disabilities comes into play.

“It is important for them to think about when you’re driving up and you are getting in and out of the car,” Matto said. “How do you make it easy for someone?

And not just easy, but trying to have them do everything

in a thoughtless way like we would be doing it.”

The $250 first prize in the competition went to a design team consisting of Lara Jara-Rivera and Djiba Kourouma. Jara-Rivera also works as a certified nursing assistant and remarked that she was “aware of the challenges that people face in getting about.” Kourouma said this was “eye-opening for me and I really enjoyed making life easier for people that society doesn’t think about most of the time.”

The university also scored third place for students Olivia Kascak and Rachael Watcke and fourth place for the team of Rose Vilay, Justin Goodson and Tiany Hicks. The winning designs will be on display for six months at Independence Unlimited, a center for independent living based in Hartford that sponsored the competition, and will then be displayed at the school.

Navigating Norwalk improving, for developers and residents alike

BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

N

avigating Norwalk is getting easier, not just for developers dealing with the city’s government, but for its residents as well, according to Timothy Sheehan.

The Norwalk Redevelopment Agency executive director said that Norwalk’s sometimes cumbersome planning and zoning regulations are in the process of being simplified, as a slew of projects are coming to fruition.

Those include transit-oriented development around its two main train stations in South Norwalk and East Norwalk; the ongoing redevelopment of Washington Village, the state’s oldest public housing complex; construction on the massive SoNo Collection mall; and the addition of numerous multifamily residences that are projected to add over 1,000 apartments over the next couple of years.

“We’ve seen a lot in terms of development over the course of the last decade and a half,” Sheehan said. “And we’re seeing a lot more now.”

Thus the need for streamlining the P&Z process, he said. “It’s been a systemic problem, especially in the urban core of the city, where there’s been a multitude of zoning districts in a very small geography.”

In fact, Sheehan said, when the city was developing its TOD plan for South Norwalk, it discovered 12

different zoning districts within a radius of less than a mile. “It was like, ‘What’s the point of this?’” he said. “It was so confusing to anyone trying to advance a development process. People would come in and look at what we wanted to see in terms of development, agree with it, then start going through the zoning regulations and decide that it wasn’t doable.”

Sheehan cautioned, however, that as with most

Coldwell Banker opens first Global Luxury office in Greenwich

Norwalk’s sometimes cumbersome planning and zoning regulations are in the process of being simplified, as a slew of projects are coming to fruition.

BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Connecticut opened the first NRT LLC Global Luxury sales office in the U.S. at 66 Field Point Road in Greenwich on Oct. 15.

Global Luxury combines the Coldwell Banker name with affiliated luxury real estate agents from a network of over 91,000 agents and 3,000 offices worldwide. The new office includes over 200 affiliated agents.

“Greenwich has always been a leading power player

things government-related, the changes aren’t going to take place overnight. “It’s an evolving process,” he said.

Among the new projects dotting Norwalk is a major undertaking by Spinnaker Real Estate Partners to develop apartments in the long-derelict area around the Park and Main street’s intersection. The company received an $8.6 million loan from the state bond commission to fund that work.

Spinnaker has also submitted plans for a six-story, 106unit multifamily structure at 20 and 24 Monroe St., next to the South Norwalk train station.

The firm behind the South Norwalk TOD, Milfordbased Harriman Associates, recently won city approval to conduct a similar study for the East Norwalk train station. Funded by a $125,000 state grant, that work will begin shortly, Sheehan said.

He also underscored the ongoing redevelopment of Washington Village as “one of the most important projects” in the city. Now in its second phase, which will include the demolition of an existing 136-unit complex in favor of 136 new workforce, public housing and market-rate apartments, the new Washington Village will be a significant improvement over the original, built in 1941, Sheehan said.

Phase One included opening 10 units at 13 Day St. and 70 units at 20 Day. Phase Three, which will add a 50-unit building along Day Street and a 58-unit building

along Water Street, is scheduled to start in the fall of 2019.

The project is funded by a $19.2 million construction loan from TD Bank and a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Choice Neighborhood Initiative Planning Grant of $30 million.

“That’s been a huge home run for the city,” he said, adding that the state “has been a fantastic partner, as well as the city.”

Sheehan noted that work is also continuing on the Residence Inn by MarriottSoNo, on South Main Street, and on the 717,000-squarefoot SoNo Collection, which he said is still on schedule to open in October 2019.

“It’s been interesting to go from looking at plans and renderings to actually see the physical building going up,” he said. Despite some public complaints about the gargantuan mall negatively impacting the area, Sheehan said, “The context is looking good to me in terms of fitting within the urban environment.”

He further noted that representatives from anchor retailers Bloomingdale’s and Nordstrom are now onsite to oversee construction of their respective stores.

As for making it easier for Norwalk residents to get around town, Sheehan said the city’s pilot Wheels2U program, an on-demand micro-transit service similar to Lyft and Uber that launched last month,

in the global luxury market,” said Joe Valvano, president, Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Connecticut and Westchester County. “The caliber and level of client service provided by the Greenwich Global Luxury sales office will set the benchmark for future Global Luxury offices.”

The grand opening event was attended by Greenwich First Selectman Peter Tesei; state Sen. Scott Frantz; state Rep. Mike Bocchino; NRT LLC President and CEO M. Ryan Gorman; and NRT LLC Regional Executive Vice President, Eastern Region, Kate Rossi.

Norwalk—

has been steadily growing, mostly through word-ofmouth.

Using an app, riders can summon blue city Wheels2U vans from within certain districts, primarily around the South and East Norwalk neighborhoods. The vehicles are available from 5-12 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and noon-9 p.m. on Sunday.

Sabrina Church, community development planner at the Norwalk Redevelopment Agency, said that while the first

couple of weeks saw total ridership in the 60s, “last week we had 120. And it’s really been through wordof-mouth. People have a good experience and tell their friends about it.”

Average wait time for one of the two vans, a third can be added when demand increases, is about five minutes on Thursdays and Sundays, and about 10.5 minutes on Saturdays, Church said.

She said the results were especially impressive “because we built this up from scratch. We were introducing a brand-new con-

cept, with no built-in ridership.” She noted that, unlike Uber and Lyft, the vans are designed to carry several passengers at once, but said that so far that hadn’t appeared to be an issue.

While the pilot Wheels2U program is scheduled to expire in February, Sheehan said the budget had been found to extend it another six months, “and then we’ll see what happens.”

While ridership is free during the pilot period, he noted that riders would be charged $2 starting in February.

Newbury Rain first tenant to take space in former Unilever building in Trumbull

G

raphic design company Newbury Rain has signed a seven-year lease to move into nearly 6,000 square feet of space at 75 Merritt Blvd. in Trumbull, making it the first tenant to occupy the site since Unilever moved out in favor of Shelton last year.

Newbury Rain is relocating from its space at 35 Nutmeg Drive in Trumbull,

where it was also the first tenant.

Sean Cahill, principal and managing director of Avison Young’s Fairfield/Westchester office, and Avison Young agent Christopher Grundy worked with TKS Capital Solutions and Newbury Rain CEO Amanda Naqvi and its managing director of business development, Hamza Naqvi, to obtain 5,951 square

feet at 75 Merritt. The building consists of 96,739 square feet spread out over three floors.

The deal marks the second key transaction in Trumbull in the past few months for Avison Young, which previously worked with D-BAT, a baseball and softball training company, to secure space at 30 Nutmeg Drive in Trumbull.

Hundreds of Kennedy Center supporters will celebrate the changing seasons Saturday, Nov. 3, 7 p.m., at its Four Seasons Ball. The evening of fun and philanthropy will take place at Rolling Hills Country Club, 33 Hurlbutt St., Wilton.

All proceeds will not only benefit The Kennedy Center’s Residential Services, but all programs and services offered by the Center.

Each year, at The Four Seasons Ball, The Kennedy Center honors an individual or organization that has shown exceptional commitment to the agency by supporting its mission of empowering individuals with disabilities. This year’s ball will be paying tribute to Kevin Walsh of Fairfield, managing director of GE Energy Financial Services and General Electric Co. Walsh has been a member of The Kennedy Center Board of Directors for more than six years and has provided expertise to the budget and finance committee. Similarly, for more than three decades, GE has had a long-standing partnership with The Kennedy Center, making an impact on the individuals served by the agency.

Fairfield residents Anne and Peter Foley, and Carla and Pete Gavey, are cochairs of this 54th annual ball.

“The funds raised by the ball, along with the Tribute Journal, play a critical role in helping The Kennedy Center continue its work,” said Richard E. Sebastian, president and CEO of The Kennedy Center. “With level funding and escalating operating costs, your generosity ensures the longevity of our vital services in the community.”

Tickets for the Four Seasons Ball are $200 per person and can be reserved online at thekennedycenterinc.org. For more, call 203-365-8522, ext. 213.

Wildlife expert Dr. Tracy Rittenhouse.

The focus of a discussion by wildlife expert Dr. Tracy Rittenhouse, sponsored by Aspetuck Land Trust, on Wednesday, Nov. 14, at 7:30 p.m. at the Unitarian Church, 10 Lyons Plains Road, Westport, will be on all those large mammal sightings, like bears and bobcats, occurring in the state.

Admission is free to members of Aspetuck Land Trust with a $5 suggested donation for nonmembers. A dessert reception will follow the talk. Seating is limited; reserve by Nov. 1 to Alice Cooney at RSVP@Aspetuck LandTrust.org or 203-260-4737.

Rittenhouse, associate professor in the Department of Natural Resources and the Environment at the University of Connecti-

cut, will talk about her four-year research project studying Connecticut’s growing black bear populations and her ongoing bobcat research project.

Connecticut’s Department of Energy and Environmental Protection reports there were 2,251 bear sightings and 3,249 bobcat sightings in Connecticut during 2017. Rittenhouse’s research estimates there are as many as 700 individual bears — adults and cubs — currently living in Connecticut.

“Back in the late 1800s, almost all forest in Connecticut had been logged and removed for agriculture, fuel and construction. Large mammals, such as deer, bear and bobcat, became rare here. Over the last 100 or so years,

there has been significant forest regrowth in Connecticut and strong laws regulating hunting. Consequently, today we have an enhanced habitat for large animals,” according to Rittenhouse.

Rittenhouse’s talk is the 2018 edition of Aspetuck Land Trust’s Haskin Lecture Series, which honors noted scientists Caryl and Edna Haskins. The couple bequeathed their Westport estate on Green Acre Lane to the Aspetuck Land Trust in 2002, creating the 16acre preserve named after them.

The Aspetuck Land Trust is a local nonprofit land conservation organization founded in 1966 to preserve open space in the towns of Westport, Weston, Fairfield and Easton.

KOHL’S SUPPORTS NEW MILFORD HISTORICAL SOCIETY AND MUSEUM

Pictured, from left, are Justin Krull of Just In Antiques and president of the New Milford Historical Society, and Keith Garvin of Kohl’s at Litchfield Crossings in New Milford.

Following the recent Treasure Trunk Antique Show at The Crossings, Kohl’s of New Milford donated $500 to the New Milford Historical Society to support its efforts in preserving, protecting and spreading the heritage of the town.

Housatonic Habitat for Humanity recently received $1,500 from Newtown Savings Bank to support the nonprofit’s mission of providing affordable housing to first-time homebuyers in the Greater Danbury area.

At a luncheon last month, Newtown Savings Bank President and CEO Kenneth Weinstein spoke before more than two dozen area charities sponsored by the bank, emphasizing that the donation was just part of the overall commitment to the work done in the communities by its nonprofits and their many dedicated volunteers.

Housatonic Habitat for Humanity Executive Director Fran Normann related how important the Newtown Savings Bank employees are to Habitat meeting its mission.

“From board leadership to a commitment to family selection, Newtown Savings employees are dedicated to our work. They play a significant role in our success.”

She noted that in addition to providing many back-office services, Newtown

Kenneth Weinstein presents the bank’s check to Fran Normann.

Savings was also a house sponsor.

Housatonic Habitat for Humanity focuses on making a meaningful difference in the lives of qualified working families by promoting financial stability and self-suf-

ficiency through ownership of affordable homes. Households often consist of those who have limited assets and who have jobs that also have income caps.

NEW GREENWICH HISTORICAL SOCIETY CAMPUS CONNECTS VISITORS TO TOWN’S PAST Greenwich Historical Society’s reimagined campus, which opened Oct. 6, showcases a dramatically transformed campus that will enable it to welcome more visitors, exhibit more of its collections, enrich its education and preservation programs and share with a wider audience the national significance of this pivotal New York City suburb that is the Gateway to New England.

The campus features a nationally accredited museum, library and archives, café, store and restored Impressionist-era gardens. It is also home to the circa 1730 National Historic Landmark Bush-Holley House, which was built as a home for prosperous merchants and later gained recognition as the site of one of America’s earliest American Impressionist art colonies. Trailblazing American Impressionists such as Childe Hassam, John Henry Twachtman, J. Alden Weir and Elmer MacRae were part of the Cos Cob art colony that gathered at the Holley boarding house 1890-1920.

“Our dramatically reimagined and expanded campus is a dream come true. The unwavering generosity of the community throughout our three-year capital campaign has made it possible for the Historical Society to enter the national stage and take its place as one of America’s great historical institutions,” said Peter Malkin, chairman of the Reimagine the Campus Capital Campaign.

From left: Cynthia Blumenthal, member of the Honorary Campaign Leadership and wife of U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal; Scott Frantz, state senator; Michele Couture, Historical Society director of operations and visitor services; Debra Mecky, Historical Society executive director and CEO; David Scott Parker, president, David Scott Parker Architects; Davidde Strackbein, Historical Society chairman of the board; John Dixon, Historical Society trustee; Peter Malkin, chairman of the Reimagine the Campus Capital Campaign; Bruce Dixon, Historical Society treasurer; Livvy Floren, state representative; and Greenwich First Selectman Peter Tesei.

“The Historical Society’s grand opening ushers in an exciting new phase in our 87-year history and the proud 378-year history of Greenwich. Our larger, more accessible campus enables us to showcase a much broader collection of art, archival materials and digital collections to give visitors a better understanding of how Greenwich was, and continues to be, intertwined with the nation’s larger narrative. We will be able to engage the public in a much richer explora-

STEW LEONARD’S TREATS HABITAT VOLUNTEERS TO DINNER Stew Leonard’s recently partnered with Housatonic Habitat for Humanity in Danbury in recognizing the works of hundreds of local volunteers who give back to their community by supporting the affordable housing mission.

Approximately 50 volunteers who have donated their time during the year were honored at a sit-down dinner at the Housatonic/Habitat headquarters Sept.

12, catered by Stew Leonard’s. According to Executive Director Fran Normann, “We thank Stew Leonard’s in joining with us in recognizing the good work others do in our community. During our last fiscal year, hundreds of people volunteered for more than 13,000 hours not only in building homes, but making repairs so that others could age in place as well as back-office tasks that keep us running.” She added, “The value of that work can be estimated at more than $300,000. We honored our ‘core’ volunteers — those who give back to their community week after week and throughout the years at the event Sept. 12.”

“Habitat is more than the homes we build,” she said. “Throughout the region, affordable housing attracts families and individuals, who will locate, work in, invest in and contribute to the economic and civic life of our communities. Housatonic Habitat has a solution to stimulate this economic vitality: Give people a chance to live in simple, decent homes they can afford — and sustain. We provide affordable homes built by volunteers with materials gifted by local businesses. We provide an interest-free mortgage for those working families who qualify. Working with our partners, we’ve gone beyond the hammer to improve lives throughout the region.”
