Brookfield booming with commercial, residential developments BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com
P
just that.” The $52.6 million Metro Green Terrace development includes 131 oneand two-bedroom units in an 11-story tower for residents with mixed income levels on an established site that contains a 1-acre, private courtyard for tenant use, a public plaza, and an improved streetscape. An adjacent garage has 302 parking spaces. The new facility borders Metro Green Apartments, the developer’s 52,565square-foot, 50-unit affordable housing project at 717 Atlantic St., completed in 2009 at a cost of $20 million, and the
utting aside several years’ worth of perception that it was stuck in neutral, Brookfield is now on the march, both in commercial and residential development. “The whole town has really gotten behind what we’re doing,” said Betsy Paynter, Brookfield Economic and Community Development manager. Once the town adopted its Plan of Conservation and Development in 2015, she said, “We all rolled up our sleeves to start work on achieving what everyone wants to see.” Central to that effort is the Brookfield Town Center, the newly renamed district long known as the town’s “Four Corners.” The junction of state Routes 202 and 25 — Federal Road and Whisconier Road — and marked by the four gas stations on the intersection’s corners, the area is now “undergoing a renaissance,” Paynter said. With the first phase of the project — improving the streetscape with new sidewalks and granite curbing — expected to be completed by J. Iapaluccio Inc. by year’s end, the second phase is on schedule to begin next year. Paynter noted that in addition to extending the streetscape, it will connect the Still River Greenway Trail to the Town Center. The second-phase work is fully funded through an $875,000 federal grant and another $475,000 from the town of Brookfield, she said. Some 16 years in the making, the 10-foot-wide paved greenway runs south from the Town Center to Route 133 and includes a 170-foot-long pedestrian bridge , the longest in the state. Connecting it to Town Center would help promote Brookfield’s growing walkability, Paynter

an environment of consistent cancer care.” Vahdat further said that many patients prefer to be treated close to home for convenience and familiarity. “Memorial Sloan Kettering and Norwalk Hospital’s relationship means that the 700 patients who are newly diagnosed with cancer each year at Norwalk Hospital can receive care at a location they already know and trust and still access the best drug- and radiationbased treatment options for their disease,” she said.
$2.3M DONATED FOR INNOVATION CENTER
Norwalk Hospital and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center have announced the formation of MSK Physicians at Norwalk Hospital. The cancer care collaboration will integrate MSK medical and radiation oncologists and care practices with the existing cancer program at the C. Anthony and Jean Whittingham Cancer Center at Norwalk Hospital. For the first time, Memorial Sloan Kettering doctors will be leading cancer services within another hospital’s cancer program outside of New York state, with Norwalk’s current team of oncologists, nurses, surgeons, and pathologists practicing alongside MSK doctors. The organizations said the relationship will give Fairfield County residents access to the newest cancer treatment options. Patients treated at Norwalk Hospital will remain Norwalk Hospital patients and will have access to MSK for more complex cases and hundreds of clinical trials. As part of the collaboration, three MSK experts — Drs. Linda Vahdat, Daniel Shasha and Hsiang-Chi Kuo — have joined the Norwalk Hospital staff and will lead its medical oncology, radiation therapy and medical physics cancer departments. All six of Norwalk Hospital’s medical and radiation oncologists have also joined MSK’s medical staff. “Even though the majority of cancer care in the United States is delivered in the community, cancer care advances can sometimes take years to reach patients there,” said Vahdat, the new chief of medical oncology and clinical director of cancer services at Norwalk Hospital. “MSK Physicians at Norwalk Hospital aims to bridge this gap,” she said, “and ensure the best outcomes for Norwalk Hospital’s patients by bringing leading medical and radiation oncology experts to Norwalk Hospital, implementing Memorial Sloan Kettering’s clinical practice in medical oncology and radiation therapy, and maintaining

Carol and George Bauer
The University of Bridgeport has received a $2.3 million donation to renovate its former Bauer Hall dormitory into a new Innovation Center for student-entrepreneurs and Connecticut-based businesses seeking to expand. The donation to fund the center was made by George Bauer, the CEO of the asset management firm GPB Group Ltd. and a former chief financial officer at IBM, and his wife, Carol Bauer, a former chairwoman of the Norwalk Hospital Board of Trustees. “My wife and I consider ourselves stewards," said George Bauer, who resides with his wife in Wilton. "We are responsible for contributing to the common good and the way we see it, universities like UB represent the common good and all the ways that we can invest in the future." Construction on the new center began Oct. 12. The four-story center will consist of 8,600 square feet of offices, conference rooms, brainstorming booths, an international trade center, a professional service office and a maker space. It will also become the home for the university’s venture programs, including the Student Entrepreneur Center and the UB Incubator.
CT HEALTH INSURANCE ENROLLMENT DOWN IN 2016 The Connecticut Insurance Department’s annual report card on health insurance carriers licensed to sell in the state found that total enrollment in 2016 was just over 2.2 million, a decline from 2015’s 2.4 million. The Insurance Department noted that retirees being weaned off corporate plans and into Medicare, as well as the impact of Medicaid and other publicly funded plans, could have been factors in the decrease.
Week of October 23, 2017 • FAIRFIELD COUNTY BUSINESS JOURNAL
As in the previous year, the largest share of enrollment in 2016 was in indemnity companies (88.7 percent of enrollment) and in large group plans (85.3 percent of enrollment). While there was an increase in the number of participating physician specialists from 2015 to 2016, there was a decline in the number of participating primary care providers, hospitals and pharmacies, the report found. Anthem had Connecticut’s largest market share both in HMO enrollments by company, with 78 percent, and in indemnity enrollments by company, with 42 percent. ConnectiCare was second in HMO enrollments with 20 percent and tied for fourth in indemnity enrollments, with its 7 percent behind Aetna Life’s 20 percent and Cigna’s 18 percent and equal to United Health’s 7 percent. ConnectiCare Benefits represented 3 percent. The data was collected by the state Insurance Department from the six HMOs and nine indemnity insurance companies it licenses in the state. The Insurance Department selected the data points, including care measures, claim denials, medical loss ratios, utilization review data, and member satisfaction survey results, based on legislation passed by the Connecticut General Assembly.

Layoffs at the Royal Bank of Scotland's Stamford headquarters are continuing, with the company informing the Connecticut Labor Department that it will eliminate another 43 workers at 600 Washington Blvd. on Dec. 12. With the move, RBS will have laid off 675 employees over the past two years. The struggling bank, headquartered in Edinburgh, has undertaken a series of restructuring measures over the past several years, beginning in 2008 when it was bailed out by the U.K. government. Meantime, Britain's Financial Conduct Authority has agreed to allow a confidential report on the bank's treatment of struggling companies to be examined by a barrister. The report examines the conduct of RBS' small-business restructuring unit, the Global Restructuring Group, which handled 12,000 troubled companies during the financial crisis of 2007-12. Some customers have accused it of pushing them into bankruptcy so it could pick up cheap assets, a charge the bank has denied. — Kevin Zimmerman and Phil Hall

Female leaders share insights, challenges in business ownership BY ALEESIA FORNI aforni@westfairinc.com
A
panel of female business leaders shared insights and challenges at the “Driving Your Business: Women at the Wheel” event Oct. 17 at the Westchester Country Club in Rye. Kristina Benza, president and CEO of County Fabricators, urged attendees to take time for themselves, no matter how much they have on their plate. “It’s a lot easier said than done,” said Benza, whose Pleasantville company has completed more than $12 million of work on the new Mario M. Cuomo Bridge. “The world is not going to come crashing down on you if you leave at 4:30 one day to go get a manicure or pedicure.” Benza, who used her life savings to buy out her father’s shares in the company to become its majority owner, said her upbringing as one of three daughters helped shape her outlook on her career. “(My father’s) motto was kind of, ‘Well, my daughters can do everything my sons would have done,’” she recalled, adding that “there was never any sexism in my house.” Still, Benza is not blind to the role her gender can sometimes play in her field. She recalled a recent trip to a trade show she attended with her uncle, Philip, who is her company’s chief marketing officer.
door, we speak about our culture.” Part of her company’s culture includes reading books and having weekly discussions. “I’m very honest with people right up front, if you’re not comfortable with this, then don’t work here,” Tompkins said. At County Fabricators, Benza makes sure to keep a list of her employees’ birthdays and celebrate those yearly milestones. “We get a cake and we gather everybody
around and we do a whole birthday thing,” she said. “You don’t realize how important those little things are to people.” Connecting with other women, both within and outside of their respective industries, is also key for each of the panelists. “You can ask so many questions, and you can contribute,” Maryann Croce, owner of the Norwalk auto repair shop, Croce’s Transmission Specialists. “There are so many skills that you take for granted — we
just tend to do that.” During the event, which was presented by Citrin Cooperman & Co. LLP, panelists also imparted advice they wished they could share with their younger selves. “To my younger self, I would say ‘Take a stand,’” said Croce. Tompkins had similar words of wisdom for her younger self. “I wish someone had told me that ‘No’ is okay,” she said.

“I was starting to realize that nobody was talking to me,” she said of the various salespeople at the trade show. “And then my uncle would walk over to see what I was doing and they would flock to him.” Stacey Tompkins, president of Putnam Valley-based Tompkins Excavating, told attendees that maintaining a strong company culture is also important for business leaders. “My motto is that no prima donnas are allowed anymore in our company,” she said. “It’s very important when I’m interviewing every single person that comes through the

Conn. joins lawsuit over Trump's Obamacare executive order BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com
F
ollowing on the heels of widespread outcry over President Trump’s Oct. 12 executive order rolling back key sections of the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, Connecticut Attorney General George Jepsen announced late on Oct. 13 that he will join other Attorneys General in a lawsuit designed to retain the subsidies that millions of lower-income families have used to cover deductibles, doctors’ visits and prescriptions. California Attorney General Xavier Becerra said the suit will be filed in the federal court for California’s Northern District. Other Attorneys General indicating support of the lawsuit include those in Massachusetts and Kentucky. “President Trump’s latest action is tremendously mean-spirited,” Jepsen said in announcing the move. “It will result in real damage to working families. It’s a shame he’s doing it on the backs of working Americans.” Earlier, Gov. Dannel Malloy, Lt. Gov. Nancy Wyman and Connecticut's senators were among Democratic officials denouncing the executive order. The administration
says the executive order will result in developing policies to increase health care competition and choice to improve the quality of health care and lower prices. Opponents said the order — which comes in the wake of several high-profile failures by Congressional Republicans to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act — could destabilize the law by siphoning off younger and healthier Americans from the exchanges and raising insurance premiums for older, sicker Americans for whom the law provides protections. “This executive order is yet another attack on affordable health care for Americans,” said Malloy, adding that it was “yet another effort to destabilize the individual insurance marketplace. “Sabotaging the Affordable Care Act will cause real harm to people," said Malloy, "and it is infuriating that these assaults will not stop. We implore Congress and the president to constructively engage with states to fix and strengthen the law rather than conspiring for its failure.” Lt. Gov. Wyman, who chairs the board of the state's health insurance exchange, Access Health CT, called the executive order "an endrun around the Affordable Care Act, a law that millions of Americans have come out to

defend every time Congress tried to repeal it. Americans have made it clear that they want to fix the ACA, not end it." "The newest repeal incarnation by the Trump administration will threaten health care for thousands of residents in Connecticut and make it harder for insurers to do business — exactly the opposite goals we’ve worked toward in our state and in states throughout the country," Wyman added. Sen. Richard Blumenthal called the order “yet another flawed façade that promises more coverage while delivering far less. If the Administration is intent on improving health care, they owe the American people a concerted effort to repair our current system, instead of weakening it through continued disruption of the insurance marketplace.” Sen. Chris Murphy called the executive order “a cruel, backdoor way to strip health benefits from Connecticut families.” The Trump order will not take effect in time to affect open enrollment in health insurance plans for 2018, which in Connecticut runs from Nov. 1 through Dec. 22. “The President’s announcement that the administration cannot make the cost-sharing reduction payments to the insurance
carriers for the cost-sharing reductions — commonly referred to as the CSRs — will not change the health insurance plans or rates offered through Access Health CT for 2018,” said AHCT CEO Jim Wadleigh. “The CSR plans will continue to be available to eligible consumers. “The majority of our customers will not be impacted because they qualify for premium tax credits — which are separate and distinct from the CSRs, and not impacted by this announcement — as these premium tax credits mitigate the effect of the premium increases,” Wadleigh continued. "Customers eligible for financial help through premium tax credits will see very small increases to their portion of premium, and in some cases their portion of premium may be smaller for next year.” AARP Executive Vice President Nancy LeaMond also blasted the executive order. “CSRs provide critical financial help for nearly 6 million people with modest incomes, including for more than 2 million older Americans, to afford the health insurance they need,” she said. “Discontinuing these subsidies will further destabilize the insurance marketplace, significantly increase families’ premiums and cause people to lose coverage."

Metro Green — » » From page 1
Metro Green Residences, a $27 million, 61,268-square-foot, 50-unit housing complex at 84 Henry St. completed in 2011. All were developed by Jonathan Rose in partnership with Malkin Properties in Stamford, Vary said. As indicated by their branding, all of the properties were developed as environmentally sustainable facilities. Built to meet the gold standard for new construction set by the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program, the buildings include rainwater harvesting systems, recycled building materials and paints with low volatile organic compounds, and energy-efficient mechanical systems. Vary said Rose’s mission is to build structures that are models of environ-
mental, social and economic responsibility. “That extends to our residents,” she said. “We hope that they embrace that lifestyle by trying to use less electricity and eat healthy.” To that end, each building has an exercise facility and several common areas, including the terrace that gave the thirdphase development its name. Residents are encouraged to avail themselves of a fresh herb garden during the warm months. A common kitchen is also available on the top floor, with a smaller version on the ground floor. “We want to encourage everyone to meet their neighbors and mix, as a community,” Vary said. “In the past, affordable housing has usually been located in the far reaches of a city,” she said. “We’re doing this in the downtown, where there’s easy access not just to the train but to culture, schools, the library. We want everybody to have a more enriched life. And even though (Metro Green Terrace) is mixed-income
housing, everyone has access to the same amenities.” One of those is a “package concierge system,” whereby deliveries are made to a large locker-room-style structure. Residents are alerted to a delivery via email, which includes a pass code to open the correct locker. “Having a dedicated package room is less convenient and less cost-effective” than the locker system, Vary said. “This approach also encourages interaction among our tenants.” Metro Green Terrace is already about 90 percent occupied, Vary said, and the other two Metro Green buildings are fully occupied. The three buildings house a mix of young couples, families and senior citizens, she said. Market-rate rentals range from $2,050 to $2,790 per month at Metro Green Terrace. Monthly rents for affordable housing units range from $1,148 to $1,465 for households earning 50 percent of the
area median income and from $1,482 to $1,781 monthly for households earning 60 percent of the area median income. Vary noted that two-month “concessions” — basically a 14-month lease for the price of a 12-month one — are also available. Rose is also looking to secure financing for a fourth, 24-unit building that would face Metro Green Terrace across the common green, which includes a playground and meditative stone labyrinth. A dogwalking area and yoga space are also on the Metro Green grounds. While Rose is interested in additional construction in Stamford, Vary said that no such projects are being considered at this time. “Stamford is the optimal place to develop in Fairfield County,” Vary said. “They have financial programs that are specifically suited to fund affordable housing, which make these projects possible. That’s something you don’t necessarily find in other towns.”

said. As it stands, it already sees an average of over 500 people on Sundays and 200 to 300 each weekday. Two of four new mixed-use buildings should be completed by early 2018, Paynter said. Those buildings make up the $25 million Brookfield Village project, which ultimately will have 72 rental apartments and about 25,000 square feet of commercial space. The buildings will be set far enough back from the street to allow for sidewalks and encourage pedestrian traffic. Meanwhile, the recently opened, 165unit Barnbeck Place Apartments at 398 Federal Road is fully occupied, while the 125-unit Oak Meadows complex at 9 Old Oak Drive has completed three phases and is in the midst of a fourth. At the same time, lower Federal Road is seeing a significant amount of commercial development. The Pizza Hut at 7 Federal Road, which shuttered earlier this year, is being repurposed as a Dunkin’ Donuts and will feature the only drive-through coffee service on that stretch of the road. As previously reported, New York Citybased Hummus & Pita Co. is opening its first Connecticut location at 15 Federal Road in January. In the Candlewood Plaza Shopping Center, at the intersection of Federal Road and Candlewood Lake Road, arts and crafts store Michaels will move from its current corner location into a larger space next door, formerly occupied by OfficeMax.

a space in the middle of the plaza, will take over the Michaels spot and add a drive-through. A standalone space formerly occupied by Webster Bank will become a Burger King. “We’ve also had interest from a number of investors in a vacant parcel of commercial real estate near the Costco” at 200 Federal Road, Paynter said. There are also plans to open a Rich Farm ice cream shop on Station Road in Town Center, Paynter said — the first franchise that the Oxford-based business has granted. Expansion is running at such a pace that Brookfield is looking into where to

accommodate its soccer-playing youth. The library, which has outgrown its 9,000 square feet at 182 Whisconier Road, has been looking to relocate for a couple of years. Having received a $1 million construction grant that expires on March 1, 2018, it has proposed constructing a building on the soccer field on the town’s Municipal Center campus. The police station could take over another soccer field. As a result, an ad hoc committee has been formed to look at possible sites for new soccer areas. Such problems are much preferable to entropy, Paynter said.
“We’re the only town that’s bordered by two lakes,” she said. “We have a high quality of life, great schools and we’re easily accessible to major highways. We’ve always known what we have. Now it’s time for everybody else to learn about us.” To that end, Brookfield has commissioned consultants Milone & MacBroom to help rewrite its zoning regulations, which haven’t had a major overhaul in over 50 years. “This is an effort to clarify the regulations, make the regulations user-friendly, help with economic development and move the town through the next 50 years of development,” Paynter said.

Westport mortgage pro heads a rebuilding industry group BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com
K
enneth Campbell did not intend to pursue a mortgage industry career. “I was in a marketing and promotional agency,” he said, referring to the New Canaanbased Kendrew Group Ltd., where he worked for 16 years and rose to the rank of chief operating officer. “We had some bad times. But I was always good with numbers and I was fortunately in a position that I could cover the commission structure for a while” when moving into the mortgage industry. In 2005, Campbell made the career switch to the Tarrytown-based Home Funding Group. One year later, he changed jobs again, becoming a loan originator at Westport Mortgage LLC, where he has worked ever since. To strengthen his connections within the industry, he joined the Connecticut Mortgage Association (CMA), the trade group for the state’s mortgage brokers. “Somewhere along the way, I was asked to be on the board,” he recalled. “When I joined the board, I was the only loan originator on the board. All the other board members were brokers that owned their
own mortgage companies. As time went on, I became secretary, then treasurer. Last year, they were looking for officers and I threw my name into the hat and got elected president.” Campbell leads a trade group that is still rebuilding from the impact of the financial crisis of nearly a decade ago. “We have not yet recovered our membership from the recession,” he said. “I am embarrassed to say that we were dwindling. We were at less than 100 (members) and we currently have about 300. We are on a concerted effort to increase our members. According to the Connecticut Department of Banking, there are between 3,000 and 5,000 of us, so I think we have some opportunity to increase our membership.” That effort includes attracting the next generation of mortgage professionals as CMA members, especially when the estimated average age of loan originators in the mortgage industry is 54. Campbell said the lack of salaried positions in the mortgage brokerage field has resulted in many millennials seeking other financial services jobs with regular paychecks. “The compensation is based on commission, so it can be difficult,” he said. “You need to have a following or the ability to

create a following in order to live in this environment. Some of our lenders are trying to develop educational programs to encourage younger people to come in. There are younger people working in banks and if they feel there are opportunities for them as an entrepreneur or they feel captive in their earning capacities, there are opportunities here for them.” In his president’s role, Campbell works with Matthew Hallisey, a Hartford attorney and lobbyist who serves as the group’s executive director in the state capital. Hallisey identifies potential bills that could be beneficial or detrimental to the mortgage industry.
Campbell noted the last legislative session saw the stirrings of a bill imposing a new tax on mortgages. Hallisey worked with state trade groups representing mortgage bankers and Realtors to successfully fight to keep the bill from getting a subcommittee hearing. “There needs to be a very significant shift in the state government,” Campbell said. “We are taxing people out of the state, including employers. We need to create an environment where employers are coming to Connecticut. The state’s finances need to be corrected so that companies will see an advantage to move here.” Regarding Fairfield County’s housing market, Campbell noted “a softness in some of the areas that are higher priced.” And efforts to expand home ownership could be impeded by the construction boom of multifamily rental buildings in the county. “Obviously, there is a demand for it because it is being built, being rented and being filled,” he said. Campbell is still considering whether to pursue re-election as Connecticut Mortgage Association president when his term ends this year. While he has enjoyed the opportunity, “Whether I’ll do it for another year, I am not quite sure,” he said.

Trumbull makes strides in building a commercial hub BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com
A
n increasing number of real estate projects are moving forward in Trumbull as the town continues its mission to become a major commercial hub in lower Fairfield County. The activity “follows an uptick in getting development plans through the process faster, which means they can come to fruition faster,” said Trumbull Economic and Community Development Director Rina Bakalar. “We’re in a position now where interest is turning into actual projects. We expect a very busy spring.” Central to the town’s move forward is its Long Hill Green section, a roughly 25,000-square-foot commercial area. Funded by $6 million in private investment as well as several state grants, Long

Hill Green now includes the thriving 7,200-square-foot Long Hill Marketplace at 6528 Main St. and the 9,000-squarefoot Village at Long Hill Green at 10 Broadway Road. The latter’s latest tenant is Insurlynx Insurance Group LLC, which held a grand opening ceremony Oct. 19 to formalize the relocation of its headquarters from Shelton. “The energy and neighborliness of Village at Long Hill Green is a perfect new home for Insurlynx,” said the company’s president and owner, Cindy Hartsburg, who called Trumbull “a vibrant community.”
Meanwhile, the 79,000-square-foot building at 100 Oakview Drive, vacant since Canon Solutions America relocated to Long Island last year, is in the process of being torn down by Continental Properties. The Woodbridge, New Jersey-based real estate development and management company plans to turn the site into a 202-apartment complex, a $30 million project that will be completed in three phases over four years. Work is expected to begin in March, according to the company. Expected to receive planning and zoning approval by year’s end is a proposed redevelopment at 6540 Main St. The property, converted from longtime Italian eatery Marisa’s into the Cast Iron Chop House in 2016, will be redeveloped as a 20,000-square-foot commercial plaza featuring at least one restaurant. Bakalar said the Chop House will not reopen in it. The project developers, Sound Development LLC of Trumbull and Cerreta Builders of Bridgeport have been granted a needed zoning change that expanded the town’s business-community zone to include the Main Street parcel. Pending site plan approval, construction is expected to begin next year. Big changes are also in the works for Westfield Trumbull, the mall at 5065 Main St. “People are moving to online retail more and more,” Bakalar said, noting that Amazon posted 25 percent year-over-year revenue growth in its most recent quarter. “That’s having a drastic impact on fashion and department stores, which are the traditional anchor tenants in malls.” As a result, traditional retail outlets are increasingly looking to make themselves “destinations” where the focus isn’t solely on shopping, she said. That is happening at Westfield Trumbull, said Patrick Madden, Northeast district manager at Westfield Corp. the mall’s Australian owner. The mall “has been in a transformative process for the last several years,” he said. “One of the key focus areas for us has been the addition of more food options at the mall.” He said the addition of The Cheesecake Factory in 2014 “helped establish Westfield Trumbull as a dining destination,” as

RENTALS AT 1200 HIGH RIDGE ROAD
1200 High Ridge Road.
Two medical offices have taken office space at 1200 High Ridge Road in Stamford. OT Kids, a pediatric occupational therapy provider with a sensory gym for children, has rented 1,698 square feet of medical office space on the building’s third floor. This is the second location for the company, which also has an office in Fairfield. Also moving into the third floor is Bender Chiropractic and Wellness Center, which is moving from 111 High Ridge Road to a 1,248-square-foot space later this year. RHYS Commercial represented the new tenants and Baywater Properties represented the building’s owner, 1200 High Ridge Company LLC.
TANGOE RELOCATING TO SHELTON Tangoe Inc., a global provider of telecom expense management solutions, is combining its Orange and Sandy Hook operations by leasing 34,200 square feet of office space at One Waterview Drive in Shelton. The 95,000-square-foot Class A building is owned and managed by Mountain Development Corp. of Woodland Park, New Jersey. Joseph Coci III, partner of MDC, arranged the lease on behalf of landlord One Waterview LLC. Dan Spero, Craig Eisenhardt and Paul Tortora of Jones Lang LaSalle represented the tenant. Amenities include a renovated glass atrium lobby, a cafeteria, concierge, patio for outdoor dining, renovated restrooms with granite finishes and a fitness center. Tangoe’s new space was designed by Perkins Eastman in 2010 for children’s clothing brand Carter’s, which relocated its Connecticut operations to Atlanta. The move-in-ready offices are fully furnished.
HUMMUS & PITA CO. COMING TO BROOKFIELD The Hummus & Pita Co. is expanding from its New York City base to Brookfield as part of a plan to open locations in several East Coast locations and in Denver. The Brookfield location at 15 Federal Road, expected to open later this year or
early next year, is part of a multi-unit deal between the fast-casual restaurant chain and franchisee Rishi Parikh & Group, which has an agreement with Hummus to develop additional stores in New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. “I’ve been looking for emerging fastcasual concepts that are scalable and profitable,” Parikh said. “I am particularly passionate about Mediterranean restaurants, but had yet to find a brand on the level of what, with their creativity and commitment, owner Janice Axelrod and her sons Dave and Steve Pesso have developed with The Hummus & Pita Co.” The restaurant specializes in made-fromscratch items, freshly baked bread and meats cooked in a traditional taboon oven. Founder and President Janice Axelrod opened the first Hummus & Pita Co. in 2011 in New York City’s Chelsea neighborhood. Since then, the restaurant has opened three additional New York locations, averaging $1,200 in sales per square foot. Earlier this year Hummus & Pita Co. partnered with franchise development company Fransmart, which has worked with such brands as Five Guys Burgers and Fries, The Halal Guys and Qdoba Mexican Grill, as its exclusive franchise development partner to grow the brand.

VA mortgage loans for veterans include multi-unit residences
T
o understand the benefits of the VA Home Loans mortgage program is to fully understand just how far-reaching those benefits really are. The residential lending program of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs extends to multi-unit properties, affording all the provisions and protections of normal VA lending for veterans making those purchases. VA loans, which are provided by private lenders, go through regular channels to get approved and funded. A veteran — including retired and active-duty military veterans, reservists and National Guard — works with a local Realtor or directly through a mortgage lender and processes an application as any home mortgage loan gets pro-
cessed. Assuming the vet and the property meet the criteria established for multi-unit housing, the loan is ultimately approved and closed by the mortgage lender. The Department of Veterans Affairs guarantees a portion of the loan so that private lenders may provide more favorable terms to borrowers, but the VA never deals directly with the veteran consumer. Only 9 percent of eligible veterans are even aware of these home loan benefits, according to John W. McDade, a mortgage loan officer at iServe Residential Lending LLC in San Diego. A veteran himself, McDade spends much of his time circling the U.S. on behalf of his company, educating Realtors and fellow veterans on the unique VA financing available to American veterans.
In a typical multi-unit transaction, the rules are fairly simple. A veteran seeks and finds a property of one to four units. VA benefits are not available for investment properties, so the veteran plans to live in one of the units. Multi-unit residential financing with a VA loan may have all the benefits and more of single-family purchases - up to 100 percent financing, highly competitive interest rates and no mortgage insurance requirements. A qualified buyer may borrow up to 100 percent of the appraised value of the property, up to the countywide maximum, as established by the VA. These values can be found at the VA website at homeloans.va.gov. A borrower would only be required to put down 25 percent of the amount exceeding

the countywide limit, should the property exceed the established threshold. Property appraisals are done by the VA, so appraisal costs are generally lower than typical FHA or USDA property appraisals. The VA will qualify a veteran to use the projected cash flow from projected rents in their income calculations, provided the purchasing veteran has at least two years’ experience as a landlord or property manager. The VA allows a buyer to count 75 percent of the projected rents as verifiable income if the buyer hires a property manager or property management company to manage the operations of the property — including rent collection, upkeep and maintenance - to ensure the continuing fair conditions of the collateral property. Property management fees for multifamily units are generally minimal and not prohibitive in the overall costs of ownership and management. With a shortage of starter and first-time homes available for purchase nationwide, many veterans and their families are finding that multi-unit home ownership provides them more than adequate housing for their families with a cash flow that, in most cases, covers the costs of their mortgages and property insurance. With rising equity
A qualified buyer may borrow up to 100 percent of the appraised value of the property, up to the countywide maximum, as established by the VA. rates throughout the U.S., these investments may yet prove worthwhile options to our veterans seeking housing in today’s market.

Dr. Ted E. Bear greets the parent of one of the stuffed patients being examined at Greenwich Hospital’s 19th annual Teddy Bear Clinic.
TEDDY BEAR CLINIC PUTS A FRIENDLY FACE ON MEDICINE More than 1,350 children and parents cradling toys that ranged from plush snakes to superheroes to baby dolls took part in Greenwich Hospital’s 19th annual Teddy Bear Clinic, staged outdoors under tents. “The Teddy Bear Clinic has become a tradition for many families because it’s a great way for children to learn about hospital services in a kid-friendly environment,” said Norman Roth, Greenwich
Hospital president and CEO. Twenty hospital departments were represented, including emergency, maternity, pediatrics, respiratory services, surgery, pharmacy, cancer prevention, orthopedics, cardiology and more. Representatives of Greenwich Library were on hand for story time and Greenwich Emergency Medical Services provided ambulance tours.

REUNION AT DANBURY HOSPITAL New Milford resident Neta Awasthi and his wife, Rhicha, stopped by Danbury Hospital about two weeks ago for a reunion with some very important people in their lives: the medical team, which saved him from the ravages of a rapidly developing critical condition. “I firmly believe the fast actions and teamwork of all the doctors, nurses and so many others who were involved in my care, ultimately saved my life,” Awasthi said. On June 3, he was rushed to the Danbury Hospital emergency department immediately after an office visit with his primary care physician resulted in a diag-
nosis of pneumonia. Once at the hospital, a chest X-ray revealed he was suffering from a severe case of bilateral pneumonia and rapidly developed adult respiratory distress syndrome, a critical condition resulting in abnormally low oxygen levels in the blood, typically leading to multisystem organ failure and death. Awasthi was admitted to the intensive care unit. While in the ICU, despite all available treatments, Awasthi suffered two cardiac arrests and his condition was progressively worsening. “We were unable to ventilate and oxygenate him,” said Sakshi Sethi, pulmonary physician and critical care
attending. After consultation with Eugene Fernandes, a cardiothoracic surgeon with the Western Connecticut Medical Group, it was decided the best option would be to place Awasthi on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, a bedside heart-lung machine that takes over the functions of the heart and lungs thus providing both cardiac and respiratory support. The following morning after determining Awasthi was stable and responding to commands, he was transferred to Montefiore Medical Center where he spent four more weeks.

BANKING ON VOLUNTEERS AND FUNDS Eighty Bank of America employee volunteers recently worked with five Habitat for Humanity chapters across Connecticut to build homes and provide crucial repairs for nine families. In addition to the volunteers’ time, Bank of America (BOA) also provided $60,000 in funding to the Habitat chapters. The bank has been supporting Habitat for more than 30 years. “When people have a place to call home, our community as a whole can thrive, which is why we’ve had a longstanding partnership with a number of Habitat chapters in Connecticut,” said Bill Tommins, southern Connecticut market president, Bank of America. The bank points out that Habitat for Humanity isn’t the only housing organization it assists. So far in 2017, BOA has invested more than $306,400 in Connecticut nonprofits that support housing initiatives. Over the past 10 years, the Bank of America Charitable Foundation has administered more than $2 million in funding for Connecticut nonprofits through the bank’s Neighborhood Builders program.

Transitioning ownership of your business will undoubtedly be one of the most significant events of your life. And one you may not be prepared to even think about right now. However, with careful planning at each stage, you can expect to be ready for what’s ahead – and confident that you’ll preserve everything you’ve worked so hard to build. Growing your business. Your banker and insurance specialist will help determine which deposit, lending, cash management, and insurance solutions will best fuel the growth of your business. You’ll also want to ensure your will and other estate planning documents are in order, and that you’re taking advantage of tax-minimization strategies. Transitioning business capital to personal capital. As your business evolves, you may consider selling or transitioning to your son or daughter, or someone outside the family. We can help you explore exit strategies, secure the right buyer, and value your business. We’ll also help you determine how and where to invest your wealth, and how to manage your liquidity and cash flow needs.
Managing and transferring personal wealth. This is when all your hard work pays off. You’ll begin to implement trust and planning strategies to transfer wealth to the next generation. You may also have the freedom to donate resources to those organizations you find meaningful.
