Report tells municipalities to prepare for transit-oriented future BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com

he death of Patricia Lanza in 2014 left many in the Westchester philanthropic world bereaved by the loss of a beloved friend and stunned by the discovery of just how dependent they had become on her generosity. Lanza gave away millions of dollars, especially to groups that

helped children and to church missions. But after her death, donations from the Lanza Family Foundation declined dramatically. The foundation will soon increase its contributions, said her son, Louie Lanza, though not at the same level and not necessarily to the same charities. Now, the foundation will focus on “the list.” “You’re not on the list when you don’t live up to your end of the bargain,” Lanza said. In her last year or two, he said,

his mother realized that some organizations had not produced the expected results and some people had taken advantage of her. They talked about a few organizations she wanted the foundation to continue supporting. Patricia Lanza was born in Salt Lake City, the child of a military family that moved around a lot. She met Frank Lanza in San Francisco, where she worked as an executive secretary for the FBI. They raised three sons, Anthony, Louis and James. Frank Lanza often traveled for work, so she ran the household. The family referred to her as “the hammer.” She was highly organized, paid attention to details and held high expectations. She was a student of the » LANZA, page 8

he New York metropolitan region is “struggling under the weight of its own success,” and the best answer to its rising home prices and heavy traffic is to build housing units, and plenty of them, in mixed-use developments near train stations. That’s the recommendation of the Regional Plan Association in a report released Nov. 14 titled “Untapped Potential.” The research and advocacy group makes a number of recommendations that it said could help add more than 250,000 housing units over the next 20 years at train stations throughout New York City’s suburbs, particularly by targeting unnecessary parking lots at the stations. Tom Wright, president of the Regional Plan Association, characterized the region as a victim of its own success in a statement released with the report. He said “now is the time to consider our suburban planning holistically — and fully commit to a transit-oriented development strategy throughout the region.” The focus on transit-oriented development is unlikely to surprise anyone who follows the real estate markets in Westchester and Fairfield counties. Municipal leaders in both counties have focused in recent years on drawing mixeduse apartment buildings to the streets surrounding train stations. It’s a type of development that, the report states, helps create compact, environmentally friendly neighbor-

hoods with increased job opportunities. And if local officials and developers ensure the new housing units target people at all income levels, the RPA report said, transit-oriented development can provide desirable living options for people of all incomes. It offers a comprehensive look at how some municipalities in the region are more open to multifamily development around their transit centers than others. The report found that more than 60 percent of municipalities close to regional rail stations in the Hudson Valley, New Jersey, Connecticut and Long Island have zoning codes that limit multifamily housing, and more than 25 percent allow only single-family development. In Westchester, the cities of White Plains, New Rochelle and Yonkers and the villages of Ossining, Mamaroneck and Port Chester received the RPA’s top score for zoning that allowed transit-oriented multifamily development. Meanwhile, towns such as Bedford (Katonah station) and Lewisboro (Goldens Bridge station) and the village of Irvington (Ardsley-onHudson station) received a score of zero for having no multifamily zoning within a half-mile of the Metro-North stops. In Fairfield County, towns such as Fairfield and Danbury and the cities of Stamford and Bridgeport received top scores, while towns such as Westport (Green’s Farms station) and Ridgefield (Branchville station) received scores of zero.

Astorino drops Indian Point lawsuits BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com

estchester County Executive Robert P. Astorino will no longer pursue two lawsuits that challenged the closing of Indian Point Energy Center. The county executive's office filed paperwork on Nov. 16 to discontinue both lawsuits. The Republican Astorino lost his bid for a third term in the Nov. 7 election to George Latimer, a Democrat who had been critical of the lawsuits. “The very important issues that put Westchester County residents at risk, particularly the failure of New York state to conduct a full environmental review prior to the decision to close Indian Point, remain," said Jerry McKinstry, a spokesman for Astorino. "While the county executive still fully believes in the suit’s merits, he felt it was inappropriate for him to continue with it given the change of administrations.” Indian Point owner and operator Entergy Corp., along with Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and the Ossining environmental group Riverkeeper, announced in January that the groups had reached a legal settlement to shut down Indian Point’s Unit 2 reactor by April 2020 and the Unit 3 reactor by April 2021. Astorino was immediately critical of the deal, calling it Cuomo's "January surprise." In May, he announced the two lawsuits. The first was a hybrid Article 78 proceeding that asked the court to annul the agreement to close the plant. The second sought to annul two permits issued by the state Department of Environmental Conservation that allow Entergy to operate in the state through 2021. The DEC granted the permits to Entergy as part of the settlement to close the facility. Astorino said at a press conference in May that it was a "mockery" that the deal was made without an environmental review. “There’s no debate that the public had a right to know about the impact of closing Indian Point before the deal was reached,” Astorino said. The lawsuits did not receive the support of the county's Board of Legislators, so Astorino filed each on his own as county executive. He hired Philip M. Halpern, a partner at Collier, Halpern, Newberg & Nolletti LLP in White Plains, to represent him, with an agreement that Halpern only

be paid if the county board approved the bills. Once the county board saw the success of the lawsuit, Astorino argued in May, legislators would get behind it. Cuomo spokesperson Rich Azzopardi called the lawsuits a "frivolous and politically motivated stunt that put the long-term safety of Westchester residents at risk," according to the New York Daily News. "The fact that he chose to end this charade now tells you everything you need to know."

or Bridgeport Mayor Joseph Ganim, new construction and the renovation of vacant properties will help erase the city’s regional reputation of standing out for all the wrong reasons. “The shtick was that if you lived in Fairfield, you knew, in an unflattering way, when you were in Bridgeport because you would see things that just weren’t really appealing to the eye. There was graffiti on the buildings and buildings that were empty,” Ganim told those attending the recent 2017 Economic Development Briefing sponsored by the Bridgeport Chamber of Commerce. Ganim pointed to Manhattan-based Exact Capital Group’s restoration of the vacant Majestic and Poli Palace theaters and the former Savoy Hotel, and Live Nation’s renovation of Harbor Yard baseball stadium into a music amphitheater as evidence of new urban vibrancy. He touted the installation of a thermal loop system in the downtown area as a high-tech innovation that would “put Bridgeport on the map, not just nationally but internationally.” “People have got to begin to realize that something is happening in Bridgeport,” he said. “It is a city that is fast growing and looked at by others, either in whispers or loud voice, as a place that’s on the move.” The briefing included updates from three developers of major projects across the city. Stephen Tyliszczak, development director at Bridgeport Landing Development LLC, highlighted how his parent company, RCI Marine Group of Miami Beach, was breathing new life into a shipyard property that lay dormant after Derecktor Shipyards filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and was evicted from its facility in 2012 for failing to pay rent. J. Goodison, a Rhode Island marine maintenance and repair company, had hoped to take over after Derecktor left but was unable to reach a long-term lease agreement with the city. “The new Bridgeport Harbor shipyard is to be completed soon, but it will not build mega-yachts,” Tyliszczak said. “We’ve got travel lifts on order for 70-ton and 200-ton, so it’s not going to be the big 600-ton vessels that Derecktor had, but it is going to be what we think is necessary to change the waterfront in Bridgeport from an industrial to a

Raising a voice for women to combat sexual harassment BY PHIL HALL

phall@westfairinc.com

exual harassment? “It’s all about power. It’s rarely just about sex,” said television broadcaster Gretchen Carlson, addressing the recent Women Who Matter Luncheon sponsored by the Greenwich Chamber of Commerce at the Greenwich Country Club. “The overwhelming amount of sexual harassment in the workplace is not reported.” Carlson’s sexual harassment lawsuit in July 2016 against Roger Ailes, the chairman and CEO of Fox News, which followed the network’s termination of her contract, gave a new impetus to the issue. Yet she had encountered sexual harassment from the start of her career as a television journalist, said Carlson, a Minnesotan who was crowned Miss America in 1989 and went on to study at Stanford University. She recounted how a television news executive and a high-profile publicist, neither of whom she identified by name, assaulted her during introductory interviews. A cameraman who accompanied her on an early assignment in rural Virginia became so intense in his harassing comments that

she contemplated jumping from the moving vehicle they were in, Carlson told her Greenwich audience. “I didn’t realize getting into the business meant getting into my pants,” she said. Carlson’s new book, “Be Fierce: Stop Harassment and Take Your Power Back,” details her experiences with workplace sexual harassment and the feedback she received after her lawsuit against Ailes, which ended in a $20 million settlement with Fox News’ parent company, 21st Century Fox Corp. Ailes resigned in the same month that Carlson filed her lawsuit after several other female employees at Fox reported incidents of sexual harassment by him. “At that time, it felt like jumping off a cliff

into an abyss all by myself,” Carlson said. “My Twitter feed, on a daily basis, didn’t help in that mission.” “Here’s just a taste of what I received this morning (via Twitter): ‘I hope nobody ever hires you, skank!’” The tweet drew a collective gasp from her audience. “‘Grow up and stop whining,’” she read from another tweet. “’You are too ugly to be sexually harassed. You wish you looked that good.’” Carlson said she brushed aside the haters and focused on the scores of stories she received from women across the country who shared their experiences of sexual harassment in the workplace. “I’ve heard from executives, tech workers, police officers, teachers, lawyers, bankers, military officers, waitresses, flight attendants, executive assistants,” she said. “Apparently in 2017, it’s true that every woman still has a story. There were thousands of stories that I read, responded to and cried over. After I dried my tears, I had a lot of work to do. But let me be clear: I never envisioned that I would become the face of this issue.” When women speak up about sexual harassment from male colleagues or superiors, Carlson observed, those women are more likely to leave or lose their jobs, and a “vast majority” go into different professions.

As a result, she said, most cases of harassment go unreported, even in companies that have personnel policies designed to address these types of incidents. Carlson warned her audience to review their employment contracts regarding arbitration clauses, which she claimed serve only to prevent harassment victims from receiving an open and fair review of their grievances. Her Fox News contract had an arbitration clause, but she waited for the contract’s expiration before filing her lawsuit against Ailes. She also issued a dare to companies to “start calling back all of the women who lost their jobs for being brave and having courage. Let’s stop talking about how we’re going to rehab the alleged harassers and when they might go back to work. Let’s bring the women back first.” Carlson said the proceeds from her book will go to her newly created Gift of Courage Fund, which she described as a vehicle for empowering women and girls. “Women will no longer be underestimated, intimidated or set back,” she said. “We will not be silenced by the ways of the past. We will stand together, we will use our voices together, we will show our courage, we will be the women we were always meant to be. And, above all, we will always be fierce.”

Sexual harassment accusations: What employers can do BY ROBERT B. MITCHELL

he sexual harassment issue has been with us for decades, but the rising chorus of complaints about workplace sexual harassment and sexual misconduct by Hollywood moguls, business executives and politicians is hitting a new crescendo today that requires employers to review whether and how effectively they are addressing the problem. Employers can take simple actions to protect their employees from harassment and themselves from the heavy business and legal consequences that these claims carry. Best practice on this issue has three discrete, though related, parts. The first is prevention. The second is unearthing and remedying harassment in a way that addresses the legitimate concerns of the complaining employee and the company. The third is responding to a complaint asserted to authorities outside the company.

PREVENTION

Prevention consists of training and maintaining an appropriate workplace atmosphere. Sexual harassment training is critical. Many of us seem to have lost sight of basic courtesy. Requesting sexual favors in return for job benefits — quid pro quo harassment — or subjecting employees to a chorus of sexlaced jokes, innuendos, posted cartoons and the like — environmental harassment — are both in bad taste and illegal, period. Training should clearly explain what conduct will not be tolerated, not just in terms of what is legal but by what demonstrates the company’s respect for its employees. Training should specify that penalties, even sometimes including termination, will be imposed on violators. Training should be reinforced with periodic reminders of the rules and principles that ban sex harassment. Managers should be directed to address problematic behavior they observe before any complaint arises. A manager’s quiet admonition that someone’s speech or behavior is not okay in the workplace can save a world of trouble.

HANDLING COMPLAINTS

An employer needs an effective complaint and investigation procedure, not an ad hoc, amateurish response devised in the heat of the moment a complaint arises. Alternate avenues of complaint should allow an employee to bypass the alleged harasser, no matter who that might be. The person assigned to investigate the claim should know the proper procedure for doing so

fairly and impartially. Often the best course is to hire outside investigators. Confidentiality for the complaining employee is a thorny issue, since the accused must have an opportunity to understand and respond to the charges. While one federal agency has generally endorsed confidentiality for the accuser, another has been very critical of it. Employers should afford the complainant as much confidentiality as possible and enforce a zero-tolerance nonretaliation rule to protect anyone who complains, even mistakenly, or participates in an investigation. This protection from adverse consequences is essential to an effective process that will enable the employer to fix real problems in this area. Finally, if investigation establishes harassment occurred, a quick and appropriate remedy must follow.

OUTSIDE THE COMPANY

No matter how effective training might be or how sensitive and sophisticated the internal complaint and investigatory process, it is still possible that an employee will file an administrative charge and lawsuit against the employer. In this event, the company is defending the integrity of its training and complaint process as well, possibly, as the integrity of an innocent accused. First, of course, the company should involve its insurer. Hopefully, employment practices liability insurance will cover the claim. Second, legal counsel should be retained earlier rather than later, as guidance during the early administrative process will many times preserve options for subsequent courthouse litigation. If lawyers investigated the in-house complaint, they could be witnesses in the lawsuit, so different counsel may need to be retained. Third, with counsel, develop a comprehensive, long-term strategy for dealing with the case. Is settlement appropriate? What will be the impact of the suit or a settlement on the workforce as a whole? Will there be any harmful public relations fallout that needs to be addressed? All of these factors and more need to be considered and planned for. Considering the sexual harassment problem in terms of this three-stage analysis will not guarantee that no claims will arise, but it will go a long way to ensure that they will be dealt with as early and fairly as possible.

Bible, her son said, and practiced its principles. “First and foremost, she was a good Christian." Frank Lanza co-founded L-3 Communications Holdings, a defense contractor, and in 1996 the couple started the Lanza Family Foundation. He died in 2006 and she began giving away more and more money. How much is anyone’s guess. The suddenness of her death at 80 caught local nonprofits short. During the last three years of her tenure as president, from July 2011 through June 2014, the foundation contributed $7.5 million to 53 organizations. More than half of the money went to 28 Westchester groups. Under her sons, the foundation has donated $537,000 to 21 organizations in twoand-a-half years, including about $400,000 to 16 local groups. Pat Lanza’s largest local recipients were the Women’s Research and Education Fund in Rye, $778,750; El Centro Hispano Inc. in White Plains, $690,000; Legal Services of the Hudson Valley in White Plains, $600,000; Youth Voices Center Inc. in New Rochelle, $600,000; New Little Branches preschool in Yonkers, $540,000; and Grace Church Community Center in White Plains, $300,000. “People thought the money was coming forever,” Louie said. It wasn’t. Among her top 10 recipients, the money stopped flowing to all but El Centro Hispano and Wheelchair Charities in Jackson Heights, Queens. Several programs have closed or reorganized on a smaller scale. Legal Services of the Hudson Valley, for instance, shut down

not all train stations are set up for multifamily development. Of the 328 transit stations in the region that the RPA studied, 264 had the proper sewage capacity to handle the demands of mixed-use apartment buildings. But more than half of those stations, 140, have zoning that prohibits anything beyond low-density multifamily housing. In Westchester, there are five such stations with the sewage capacity for multifamily development near train stations but no supportive zoning. Fairfield County had three. Nassau County on Long Island had the most of the 17 counties in the three-state region, with 16. On average, the report found that wealthier and whiter municipalities were more likely to having zoning unfriendly to multifamily

its children’s advocacy unit and transferred services to other programs. Youth Voices, a character education program, now serves about half as many youths as before. “I never thought the money would stop coming,” said Michael Arterberry, president of Youth Voices. “I never planned for a rainy day, because to plan for a rainy day would be inconsistent with her generosity.” “You need to understand that a donor can unexpectedly pass away or they can switch gears,” said Laura Rossi, executive director of the Westchester Community Foundation. “We advise nonprofits to diversify their funding sources. It’s basic risk management and good governance.” Pat Lanza poured money into the family foundation annually, including $6.7 million during her last three years. But she gave away so much that the yearend net assets barely grew, to $1.4 million from $1.2 million. The foundation has since received $11 million from her estate, and net assets stood at $12.4 million as of the end of last year. Her generosity was even more dramatic than the foundation numbers indicate. She wrote personal checks “left and right,” said her son. Yonkers Partners in Education was one such organization, receiving about $500,000 over four years for scholarships. “I didn’t even realize there was a foundation,” said Wendy R. Nadel, executive director. “There was no paper trail. No board. No applications. No contract. No commitment letter.” The Westchester Children’s Association sued the Lanza foundation last month, claiming that Patricia Lanza had personally pledged a $500,000 matching grant in 2013. When it tried to collect, Louie Lanza responded in an email, “We are no longer in the position of giving large single donations like my

mother once did.” His mother did not believe in estate planning, he said. She gave away money on a handshake, without formal agreements. Her generosity became an accounting nightmare. For three years the estate and foundation have been under IRS audit, Lanza said, and enormous time has been spent on untangling the finances. The examination has uncovered questionable situations. A California minister, for example, used $50,000 from his Westchester benefactress to buy front-row season tickets to Los Angeles Lakers games. Patricia Lanza financed about $8.1 million in mortgages and loans that pay 1 to 2 percent interest. Such low-interest loans are not sustainable, her son said, because the IRS requires foundations to distribute 5 percent of the value of their net assets annually. And some loan recipients are not even making payments. He said a minister who insisted on speaking at his mother’s funeral billed the foundation for $5,000 in speaking fees. “We’re cutting some of those folks off,” Lanza said. “They’re not the real deal.” In the last year or two before his mother’s death, Lanza said, he was not active in the foundation so he doesn’t know why many charities got checks.When people implore him to keep giving to them, he has to be the “bad guy,” delivering the hard message that less money will be handed out, or telling them, “I don’t know who you are.” So who made “the list?” Six organizations have received donations under both regimes. Those six, Lanza said, are “good guys” his mother wanted to continue supporting. Ranked by the size of donations for two-and-a-half years under his tenure, and compared with his mother’s last three years,

they include: • Town of Greenburgh youth programs, $155,000, versus $209,000 during the last three years of Patricia Lanza’s leadership. • El Centro Hispano, $75,000, versus $690,000. • Wheelchair Charities, $75,000, versus $256,000. • Habitat for Humanity of Westchester, New Rochelle, $75,000, versus $175,000. • Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation, New York City, $40,000, versus $15,000. • Bob Woodruff Foundation, New York City, $5,000, versus $30,000. Lanza said the foundation will soon be able to give away about $500,000 a year. Besides his mother’s list, he wants to concentrate on Westchester and Putnam counties, where he works and lives and where he can see where the money is going. His favorites include police and fire organizations, arts groups and, especially, veterans’ groups, “to help the people who fight for our country.” Instead of just writing large checks, he wants to help organizations run fundraising events and become self-sufficient. Meanwhile, in the nonprofit world, memories of Pat Lanza are still fresh. Nadel, of Yonkers Partners in Education, said Pat Lanza was not a sophisticated philanthropist, in the sense of building a large organization. “But she was a philanthropist in the purest sense of the world. She got joy out of giving. She wanted to improve the world.” “She was a rare, rare person,” said Thomas Gabriel, chief development officer of Legal Services of the Hudson Valley. “We are all devastated by her passing." “And we are devastated by the void left in the nonprofit community.”

housing and transit-oriented development. Moses Gates, director of community planning and design for the RPA, described the correlation as a “legacy of an earlier time, when there was a lot of exclusionary zoning that in a lot of places is still in place and needs to be changed in order to move forward.” Zoning can prevent transit-oriented development through measures beyond simply outlawing multifamily buildings as a whole. Other zoning barriers include limits on building height or density, outlawing ground-floor retail in residential buildings or requiring an excessive amount of parking. The report’s recommendations set a roadmap for transitioning New York’s suburban communities into a future with autonomous cars and denser development. That future means fewer parking spaces are required around train stations, allowing the space to instead be utilized to build mixed-

use developments throughout the region that would add thousands of new apartment units. While the idea of doing away with parking lots may draw the ire of anyone who has ever searched for a midweek spot at a MetroNorth stop, the RPA argues that within 20 to 30 years the majority of car trips will be made in shared and autonomous vehicles. Autonomous vehicles, Gates said, “aren’t going to park and wait for the 6:15 train back from Manhattan. They don’t need to. So increasingly the parking that was built for an older, suburban, auto-oriented environment is not relevant to today or the future. You’re just going to have a lot of unused asphalt, which isn’t doing anyone any good.” The report recommends that states tie infrastructure-funding grants to a municipality’s willingness to adopt zoning laws that allow multifamily development in appropriate areas.

The RPA also calls on New York to adopt a similar statewide inclusionary housing requirement to those of Connecticut and New Jersey. Both states require municipalities provide affordable housing opportunities, which allows the states to override local zoning requirements if a proposed development provides affordable housing in an area not meeting its obligations. “Untapped Potential” is the latest in a number of studies from the RPA that will form the recommendations of the organization’s Fourth Regional Plan, a report that will set a long-term vision and recommendations for New York City and its suburbs. The full report will be released on Nov. 30. Gates said the most recent transit-oriented development report is about “encouraging municipalities to plan for this future and to put in place the zoning and policies proactively to take advantage of this.”

Hillary Clinton voices concern, hope to Business Council BY JOHN GOLDEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

o a warmly receptive audience of about 900 Business Council of Westchester members and guests on Nov. 20, Hillary Rodham Clinton spoke of her concern for a divided nation and the impact of new Republican policies and continued Russian meddling in democracy while offering hope and confidence that Americans will join again in common cause “to achieve a more perfect union.” A record-setting audience for the Business Council’s annual fall dinner at the Hilton Westchester came to hear, cheer and photograph with their smartphones the Chappaqua resident, former U.S. senator and secretary of state, and first woman from a major political party to seek the presidency, who received the group’s Global Leadership Laureate Award. Business Council of Westchester President and CEO Marsha Gordon in presenting the award cited Clinton for “galvanizing a global movement for women’s opportunities.” Despite the unfavorable views of her that she said her history-making bid for the presidency aroused, Clinton in her speech urged women to enter the political arena. “The only way to get sexism out of politics is to get more women into politics,” she said. Some in the crowd brought copies of her most recent book, “What Happened,” for her autograph. Written at the Clintons’ home in Chappaqua following her defeat in the 2016 election despite her popular-vote majority, the book “was admittedly a somewhat painful process,” she said, yet “cathartic and invigorating.” “I used to feel I had to be careful what I said in public and always keep my guard up. Well, those days are over,” she said to applause. “As an American, I’m concerned,” she said, citing domestic policies of the Republican-controlled Congress and Trump administration and Russia’s attempts to undermine democracy and sow political division here. “There’s a lot to be worried about.” Clinton cited the Children’s Health Insurance Program, which she described as the product of bipartisan legislation, for which Congress has not renewed funding and will allow to expire at the end of this year. “Nine million kids and their families

are going to be told that this program, which was a federal-state partnership, is not going to continue,” she said. “I’m just heartsick.” Clinton said the GOP tax plan making its way through Congress “takes aim at counties like Westchester. …It’s going TWB Westenberg to hurt a lot of individual Americans WCBJ and end w upx raising 7.375” 7.125” htaxes on a majority of 10/30/17 Americans.” The deep corporate tax cuts in the plan are not likely to stimulate more jobs-creating investment by businesses, as its Republican proponents have claimed, she said. Instead the tax overhaul “will benefit

a very, very few Americans.” Clinton warned that the “information warfare” used by Russia to influence the outcome of the 2016 election remains “a clear and present danger.” The Russian government under Vladimir Putin continues “to fan the flames of division in our country,” she said. “This is bigger than one election, one candidate and even one country. And we really have to do something about it. There is no doubt in my mind that having succeeded, they’re not going to go home. They’re going to keep working to get better.”

“No foreign power in history has attacked the United States with so few consequences,” she added. “I am so hung up on this idea that we have to work together” and compromise “to achieve a more perfect union,” Clinton said, quoting from the preamble to the U.S. Constitution. Americans must “try to find common ground to make decisions based on evidence, reason and facts.” “I come to you tonight with great hopes and confidence that America’s best days are ahead of us,” Clinton said in closing. “We have to work together to make it happen.”

Smart growth highlighted at WCA event BY ALEESIA FORNI aforni@westfairinc.com

pportunities for growth abound for suburban markets like Westchester County, said RXR Realty Chairman and CEO Scott Rechler during the Westchester County Association’s Fall Leadership Dinner. “This is our opportunity,” he said to the crowd gathered at the 67th annual dinner on Nov. 16 at the Westchester Marriott in Tarrytown. Rechler, who delivered the evening's keynote speech, added that skyrocketing population growth and high costs of living in New York City have also put Westchester in a great position to attract new residents. “This is where we have to think of ourselves from a regional perspective and say, ‘How can we tap into some of that energy?’” he said. To take advantage of the desire to be close to New York City, Rechler’s company has placed a focus on transit-oriented developments that offer residents a quick commute into Manhattan.

“We’re fortunate,” he said,” because our arteries are connected to one of the largest heartbeats in the United States: New York City.” That philosophy is one embodied at Larkin Plaza, the $200 million mixed-use development at 49 Main St. in Yonkers. “People want a different kind of lifestyle,” he said. “One of downtowns, of walkability, of diversity, of public transit, of entertainment, of culture, of character.” RXR Realty is also spearheading a development effort in New Rochelle’s downtown after the city selected RDRXR at New Rochelle LLC — a joint venture of RXR Realty and Renaissance Downtowns — as its master developer in 2015. The company also recently unloaded much of its county office portfolio, including two office buildings on the Route 119 corridor. “It’s not about bringing new people,” he said. “It’s about retaining the important people that drive our economy going forward.” Rechler also lauded the Westchester County Association, presenters of the dinner, for its work to prepare the county for the changes ahead with programs such as Smart Growth.

“We are committed to creating a community that will be better off tomorrow than it is today,” said William M. Mooney Jr., president and CEO of the Westchester County Association. During the event, the Westchester County Association honored Sterling National Bank CEO and President Jack L. Kopnisky, who was presented with the Alfred B. DelBello Visionary Leadership Award. The award was presented by Mooney and DelBello’s widow, Dee DelBello, publisher of the Westchester County Business Journal. When accepting the award, Kopnisky said one of the keys to being a strong leader is an ability to adapt. “I think in the financial world, you have to keep reinventing your company,” he said. “The world around us is changing and it’s changing really fast.” The creation of a unique company culture has also led to the success of Sterling National, Kopnisky said. “We call our folks that work with us as colleagues, not employees,” he said. “It’s a culture where we execute, and we do what we say we’re going to do.”

Kevin W. Dahill, president and CEO of Suburban Hospital Alliance of New York State, also received a Leadership Award. Dahill thanked his colleagues, those he called his “work family,” during his acceptance of the award that closed the night. “They’re the ones that do all the work behind the scenes,” he said. “I’m a very lucky guy.

NORWALK LANDSCAPER PLEADS GUILTY TO TAX FRAUD The owner of two Norwalk landscaping companies pleaded guilty on Nov. 17 to one count of filing a false tax return. Candido Valadares, who operates Candide’s Landscaping and Water Gardens LLC and Candide Contractor & Natural Pools LLC, acknowledged underreporting hundreds of thousands of dollars in income between 2009 and 2011. An investigation revealed that Valadares deposited business revenue into both his business and personal bank accounts and used both accounts to pay his employees’ wages. Valadares faces a maximum prison term of three years and a fine of up to $100,000 when he is sentenced on Feb. 8. He has also agreed to repay the U.S. Treasury $175,898 in restitution plus additional penalties and interest that have accrued on his unpaid taxes.

BRIDGEPORT, DANBURY TO GET BROWNFIELD FUNDS

Marina Village in Bridgeport.

Gov. Dannel Malloy has announced that $13.6 million in state funding will be awarded to 14 municipalities across Connecticut — including two in Fairfield County — to assess, remediate and revitalize blighted properties, or brownfields, in their communities and put them back into productive use. The projects encompass 89 acres of redevelopment. The Fairfield County brownfield projects receiving funding are: • Bridgeport, 400 Iranistan Ave.: $1.5 million grant to the Bridgeport Housing Authority to redevelop the 15.9-acre Marina Village public housing complex into a new

state-of-the-art affordable housing community. The existing structures will be demolished and replaced with multifamily residential units and community space. • Danbury, 89 Rose Hill Road: $1.3 million grant to demolish and remediate the former 3.7-acre Mallory Hat Factory. A residential facility for women and children in transition is proposed for this site. “These kinds of properties that have been vacant for decades are causing blight in neighborhoods, draining local resources, and having a negative impact on towns and cities,” Malloy said. “We can add value in our communities by mak-

ing smart investments that repurpose these properties, resulting in a boost for local economies and spurring growth and private investments.” For every dollar the state has invested in brownfield redevelopment, nonstate partners have invested or will invest $11.41, according to Malloy’s office. Since 2012, Connecticut has invested over $220 million in brownfield redevelopment, resulting in the creation of more than 3,000 permanent jobs and more than 15,000 construction jobs in the state. The latest round of funding includes a total of $12.1 million that will be awarded to eight remediation and redevelopment projects, totaling just over 34 acres. An additional $1.5 million will be awarded to eight assessment projects that will prepare for the future revitalization of additional properties, consisting of almost 52 acres. All of the funds will be awarded through the Department of Economic and Community Development.

CONNECTICUT LOST 6,600 JOBS IN OCTOBER

Connecticut lost 6,600 jobs in October, primarily due to losses in seasonal employment and hospitality services, the state Department of Labor reported. The number of unemployed residents fell by 1,500, while the number of employed also fell by 6,400. As a result, Connecticut’s unemployment rate fell by one-tenth of a point to 4.5 percent in October, seasonally adjusted. The U.S. unemployment rate stood at 4.1 percent last month. “October’s decline of 6,600 seasonally adjusted payroll jobs is not good news, but it is not as bad as it appears,” said Andy Condon, director of the Labor Department’s office of research. “Nearly half the decline comes from the very seasonal leisure and hospitality sector. This loss is exaggerated because the very high summer peak season employment levels were well ahead of last year.” Over the year, nonagricultural employment in the state grew by 1,400 jobs, or 0.1 percent, and September’s originally-released job loss of 2,000 was revised upward to a gain of 300 for the month. Connecticut has recovered 72.5 percent of the jobs lost in the recession, well behind the recovery rate of many states, which

Gov. Dannel P. Malloy has announced that the state will allocate an additional $2 million to continue its consumer rebate program for the sale of electric vehicles (EVs). The Connecticut Hydrogen and Electric Automobile Purchase Rebate Program (CHEAPR) was created in 2015 to provide cash rebates for Connecticut residents, businesses and local governments. The rebates ranged from $5,000 for fuel cell-powered EVs to rebates between $750 and $3,000 for plug-in hybrid and full battery electric EVs, based on battery size. Since the program’s launch, 2,067 EVs were bought or leased in Connecticut. “Connecticut has made tremendous strides over a short period of time in helping to put more electric vehicles on the road and we remain committed to this effort because it represents a triple win of increasing our energy independence by reducing fossil fuel consumption, creating new opportunities for growing our green economy and improving public health,” Malloy said. “This rebate puts money right back in people’s pockets, providing an added incentive for consumers to embrace new approaches and help lead the way to a more sustainable future.” CHEAPR is administered through the EVConnecticut program within the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection and is funded through the New Haven-based energy services provider Avangrid. — Phil Hall and Kevin Zimmerman

TUDOR MOVING HQ TO STAMFORD

200 Elm St.

Tudor Investment Corp. is moving its headquarters from Greenwich to a 24,000-square-foot space at 200 Elm St. in Stamford, a Class A office property owned by Building and Land Technology. Tudor is expected to move into its new space in the property’s B wing in April. The company is now at 1275 King St. in Greenwich. “It’s a great building and the location boasts urban amenities and easy travel access between here and our New York City office at Astor Place,” said Mike Riccardi, president of Tudor. “We are well underway with plans for a state-of-the-art trading floor at the newly-renovated and modern Elm Street complex.” Tudor is the latest client to move into 200 Elm St., following Henkel Consumer Goods Inc. leasing 155,000 square feet and RSM, a provider of audit, tax and consulting services, signing a 27,800-square-foot lease.

The securities industry paid New York state $13.5 billion in the past fiscal year, contributing 18 percent of state tax revenues. DiNapoli attributed the strong performance to cost cutting and to declining legal costs stemming from the financial crisis. The report measures Wall Street success by the pretax profits of broker-dealers who trade on the New York Stock Exchange. About 130 firms operate on the exchange, down from more than 200 before the crisis. Industry profits plummeted during the recession in 2007 and 2008. While the securities business is smaller today than

before the financial crisis, it remains as one of New York’s most powerful economic engines, the report says. Profits from trading represents a smaller share of total revenue, but firms have made gains from other sources, such as account supervision and wealth management. Wall Street lost about 22,600 jobs from 2007 to 2008. It has added 11,100 jobs in three years, raising employment to 177,000. The entire region benefits. About 38 percent of the workers live outside of the city, including 6 percent who commute from Westchester County. The average salary last year was

$375,300, including $138,210 in bonuses. That’s five times greater than the average salary in the rest of the city’s private sector. The financial industry is better capitalized and less leveraged than 10 years ago, the report states, due to tougher regulations that have discouraged excessive risk-taking. DiNapoli cautioned against attempts to boost profits by rolling back financial regulations and consumer protections. Such efforts, he said, could “put everyday Americans and the broader economy in harm’s way.” — Phil Hall and Bill Heltzel

DINAPOLI: WALL STREET REVERSES DECLINING PROFITS Wall Street reversed a three-year trend of declining profits last year, according to Thomas P. DiNapoli, the New York state comptroller, increasing by 21 percent to $17.3 billion. The securities industry is on pace this year to beat last year’s numbers. During the first half of 2017, industry profits totaled $12.3 billion, one-third higher than the $9.3 billion posted for the same period in 2016.

atch 130, a marketing and design agency in Bridgeport, has come a long way in its two years of existence — and has its sights set on becoming one of the state’s top five agencies by the end of next year. “We’ve got our flag in the ground,” said owner Scott Lilly at the firm’s recently opened offices at 143 Golden Hill St. “And we’ve done it by being the anti-agency agency. We’re not into throwing around big buzzwords and thinking we’re smarter than our clients.” Lilly spent several years in television sales at a Charlotte, North Carolina station, Time Warner Cable and Comcast — “I was a TV brat” -- before becoming a founding partner of New York City’s Streetmarc Advertising and Marketing in 2004. Three years later he started HeadRush Creative, an ad agency in South Norwalk, which he said had run out of gas by 2015, when he closed it. “I was thinking about going back to selling TV air time,” the 50-year-old Trumbull resident said. Then Steward Health Care Network, based in Dedham, Massachusetts, came calling, its interest piqued by a pitch that HeadRush had made before closing. At the time composed of nine hospitals, and now totaling 36, Steward was looking to rebrand and simplify patient access to online information. Lilly huddled with his former HeadRush colleagues Chris Balzano and Justine Rapoport to see if they’d be willing to give it a try. “They said, ‘Heck yeah, it’s better than having to go out on interviews’,” Lilly laughed. The three partners — Balzano is creative director, while Rapoport is vice president of client services — worked together to incorporate a personalization feature on Steward’s website that “learns” a visitor’s behavior and can provide content related to their initial search on return visits. The team also developed a custom icon set for Steward to use as a visual language to support the brand’s recognition. As a result, Steward saw a 140 percent increase in mobile interactions, according to Lilly. Hatch 130 was born and opened at 211 State St. in Bridgeport. The company name refers both to “hatching ideas” and what was then the combined ages of its four employees. Lilly said the city was chosen for its great potential. “People are talking about

Bridgeport now in a way that they weren’t before, at least not in as positive a way,” he said. Building a client list mostly by word of mouth, Hatch 130 recently surpassed $1 million in revenues, Lilly said. The firm has worked with clients ranging from the Bridgeport bakeries Donut Crazy and Leisha’s Bakeria to Gateway Printing Co. in Bremen, Georgia and the Chicago Trolley & Double Decker Co. The move to Golden Hill Street, where Hatch 130 officially opened on Nov. 2, was in response to that business growth. The 4,000-square-foot, loft-style office was designed and built by the agency’s own designers. Most of its eight employees are still in their 20s. The agency is determined to grow along with Bridgeport, Lilly said. In July, Hatch was named the University of Bridgeport’s agency of record, whereby it works with university staff to develop and implement marketing initiatives across its various departments. The work includes print and advertising materials, web development, public relations support and targeted campaigns. Hatch is also working with Howard Saffan, developer of the Harbor Yard Amphitheatre, the concert venue that will replace the Ballpark at Harbor Yard and is expected to open in spring 2019. And, Lilly said, the agency informally helped Bridgeport shape its pitch to Amazon to become home to the ecommerce giant’s second headquarters. Earlier this month, the agency announced “The Hatch Initiative,” which will provide marketing services to small local businesses for a reduced fee of $1,000. All of the fees will be donated to a nonprofit, said Lilly. The firm hopes to team up with one Bridgeport business each month through 2018. » Hatch 130, page 29

TECH 5 Questions to Ask Your TALK Prospective IT Managed Services Provider 3. Does the MSP have depth and strength of technical staff? You want to ensure that the MSP team you select to handle your business or IT function is highly competent. Don’t be fooled by certification levels or staff size because they do not guarantee competency. Learn how the vendor scales employees with specialized skills. Verify that best practices and industry standards are delivered consistently across the entire organization. If you already know where your company is on the managed service needs spectrum, you’ll be able to better assess if the prospective MSP is a good fit.

Researching the options for managed services (MS) can be overwhelming. There are a variety of different factors to look for to evaluate where your company is on the managed service needs spectrum. This checklist provides you with a starting point on factors to take into consideration. The following questions are merely a starting point for your research on prospective managed services providers. Your checklist should align to your company’s needs, budget, and values. 1. Does the MSP have longevity in its space and technology area? In order to increase the likelihood of a fruitful partnership, you will want to search for a vendor who has a healthy financial track record and ample experience working within their respective fields. This information can be verified through documents such as financial statements, annual reports, press releases, and analyst articles. Ask the prospective MSP about their future to see if their values align with yours. 2. Can the MSP provide positive customer references for similar work performed? Testimonials and endorsements from satisfied customers who have worked with the prospective vendor are important to reference. While the

prospective vendor could list all of the reasons why they are a qualified partner, the notions from other customers are worth their weight in gold. This can provide a clearer viewpoint of the different aspects of the partnership; items such as quality of work, response time, vendor/client relationship, and everything in between. Look for customer testimonials or case studies and don’t be afraid to ask the prospective vendor directly for a short list of past clients to call on. This research ahead of time can lead to a more successful partnership. The key is to identify that they have positive reviews in the areas you need them.

4. Can the MSP provide local presence in case on-site assistance is required? Location is a factor when it comes to situations that need on-site assistance. While managed services support is conducted remotely, knowing where the potential vendor’s closest location to you is may factor into your decision. Another factor that may have a weight in your search in finding the right MSP is their typical on-site response time. In the event an installation or implementation requires on-site technical assistance you’ll want to know the answers for all of these situations.

5. Does the MSP offer a formal and complete approach to the IT lifecycle? While using multiple managed services providers to meet various needs (also called service fragmentation) is not uncommon, this approach can be costly, complex, and can slow down the process. A better route is to select one or a few partners that are well versed across the entire IT spectrum from initial planning to implementation. This ensures that they will likely have a greater understanding of your business and specific IT environment. If your prospective MSP checks all of these items off, then you’re on the road to a fine partnership. When searching for a managed services partner, don’t be afraid to add your own items to the checklist. This checklist is a great starting point to build upon when searching for your managed services provider. Other items to consider putting on your checklist could include budget considerations, company ideals, and of course, the prospective MSP’s offerings.

BUSINESS JOURNALS IN COURT

BY BILL HELTZEL

Help give every baby a fighting chance.

BATTLE OVER ACCESS TO INDIAN SITE IN DOBBS FERRY For 20 years, local folks have been battling over just who has the right to use a sliver of Hudson River waterfront that had been the site of Native American encampments for 6,000 years. In the latest iteration of the public access battle, Friends of Wickers Creek Archeological Site has sued the Landing on the Water at Dobbs Ferry Homeowners Association. The Friends of Wickers Creek lawsuit filed in Westchester Supreme Court claims that conservation easements and a court order allow “public access to wild, undeveloped and archaeologically significant lands” owned by the condo association. The homeowners argue that Friends of Wickers Creek has no right to access to a footbridge that spans the Metro-North Railroad tracks and connects the condo development to a beach. The association has acknowledged that the bridge foundations at both ends are on land governed by easements, but it said the bridge itself is not part of the easements. The 43-acre condo property lies between Mercy College and Wickers Creek. Several Native American cultures have used the site over the centuries, beginning around 4500 B.C., to exploit the land and water for hunting and fishing. As recently as the 1600s, the Weckquaesgeeks maintained a village on Wickers Creek. Archaeologists have discovered thousands of tools and other artifacts in the shell middens, the debris left behind by inhabitants who consumed oysters from the river. Friends of Wickers Creek was formed in 1988 to protect the site from developers. In 1998, the village approved a site plan for 104 condos, submitted by Cappelli Enterprises. The developer was required to preserve the area around the creek and a small beach and to allow access to the land. The conservationists sued to stop the project. The developer sued for libel. In 2000, they settled. The property owners agreed to maintain the bridge and to create easements allowing access by the general public to several parcels. The agreement was later amended, allowing access only to village

residents during daylight hours. The bridge is the only public access to the beach. In 2014, the condo association placed a gate on the east end of the bridge. The following year, a lock was installed, and only people with a key fob could get through. Last year, the village of Dobbs Ferry sued the condo association, claiming that it had violated the easements, the 2000 agreement and the zoning code. The village claims that the Landing on the Water did not get written permission to install the gate or lock. The condo association said that the mayor consented to the gate and lock, officials were notified of the plans and no one objected when they were installed. While the village’s case is pending, the condo association has agreed to keep the gate unlocked during the day. Two months ago, the Pace University environmental litigation clinic, acting on behalf of the conservation group, put the homeowners on notice. “The actions you have taken to restrict public access — namely installing and locking a gate on the footbridge — are a clear breach of your offering plan and our contract,” the letter states. “The beach and midden area are of great cultural, historical and environmental importance to the public.” It would be impossible to distribute key fobs to every member of the general public, the letter states, and is contrary to court

A BREAKTHROUGH YEAR 2

017 was truly a breakthrough year for the Business Council of Westchester which launched major initiatives to address key issues of importance to the economic vitality of Westchester and the Hudson Valley region. The initiatives were the focus of a series of high-level programs and conferences featuring top business and political leaders. Taking the Lead on Advocacy

dvocacy, which has long been a signature program of the BCW, was taken to a new level with the launch earlier this year of the new Legislative Enhanced Advocacy Program that provided BCW members with a full-time government relations advocate in Albany. The BCW’s Political Leadership Series provides members with a unique opportunity to hear from some of the state’s top political leaders on issues of importance to the business community. In what was THE business event of the year in Westchester, the Business Council’s Annual Fall Dinner on November 20 featured the Honorable Hillary Rodham Clinton. The BCW presented Secretary Clinton with the Westchester Global Leadership Laureate Award. More than 900 people were on hand for the historic event. One of the BCW’s top advocacy issues for many years has been calling for the construction of a new bridge to replace the aging and deteriorating Tappan Zee Bridge. Completion of the $3.9 billion project represents a major victory for the BCW and

its President and CEO Marsha Gordon who led the charge in the business community for more than 10 years advocating for construction of the new bridge. Reimagining Our Urban Centers

esponding to the unprecedented development in the county’s four major cities — White Plains, Yonkers, New Rochelle and Mount Vernon — the Business Council announced earlier this year its Urban Centers Initiative, an ongoing program that seeks to bring together city officials, leading real estate developers and planning experts to find ways to take advantage of new opportunities and sustain the momentum of economic growth. This new initiative kicked off in March with a program titled Reimagining Our Downtowns: The Residential Model. Sponsored by KeyBank, the program featured a panel of top developers who discussed their residential projects in the four cities. Following up on this successful program, the BCW in partnership with the Real Estate Institute at Fordham University’s School of Professional and Continuing Studies presented a symposium in April on emerging trends in urban development and what it takes to become a 24-hour city. The program featured a panel of urban planning experts and keynote speaker Hugh Kelly, an economist and author of 24-Hour Cities: Real Investment Performance, Not Just Promises.

Presenting the Westchester Global Leadership Laureate Award to Hillary Clinton at the Nov. 20 Annual Dinner were BCW President and CEO Marsha Gordon and BCW Chairman Anthony Justic Throughout the year the BCW continued its support for development in White Plains, Mount Vernon, Yonkers and New Rochelle, meeting with the mayors of the four cities to develop strategies for sustained economic growth. Attracting and Retaining Top Talent

oday’s businesses face a major challenge in attracting and retaining top talent. With that in mind, the BCW established a Talent Committee chaired by BCW Board Member Douglas Singer. As a first step, the committee organized a conference focused on talent recruitment as a key issue for businesses. Titled The Attraction Factor: What Drives The Chemistry, Culture and Cohesion of Today’s Successful Workforce, the halfday conference was held in September at Manhattanville College. Sheila Appel, U.S. Regional Director, Corporate Citizenship, IBM, moderated the panel discussions. The panelists said corporate culture, a willingness to consider employees with nontraditional backgrounds and a clear vision of your business’ mission are some of the key factors to building a great workforce. They also agreed that more important than attracting new employees was keeping them. “Clearly, the past year has been a time of tremendous success for the BCW in taking a leadership role in identifying the critical issues that impact economic development in Westchester and our entire region. We look forward to building on these major initiatives in the year ahead,” said Gordon.

Latimer to Give BCW Exclusive Preview Fresh off the campaign trail, Westchester County Executive-Elect George Latimer will address the Business Council of Westchester in one of his first public speaking engagements in his new role as the county’s chief executive. Latimer will address the BCW on Tuesday, December 12 from 8-9:30 a.m. at Tappan Hill in Tarrytown as part of the BCW’s Key Bank Speakers Series. Marsha Gordon, President and CEO of the Business Council of Westchester, said the event would provide members with a rare opportunity to get an inside look at Latimer’s priorities for the county’s future and his plans for economic development. “We were honored that the new County Executive has chosen to make one of his first public appearances at our Key Bank Speakers Series,’’ she said. Admission is $65 for members and $75 for future members. Tickets can be reserved by visiting thebcw.org.

White Plains Hospital opens $17.5M addition BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com

hite Plains Hospital unveiled a 20,300-squarefoot Central Clinical Services facility on Nov. 20, the end result of a $17.5 million renovation and addition across four floors at the main hospital building. Susan Fox, president and CEO of the hospital, said at the ribbon cutting that the hospital was “growing and thriving,” with patient volumes up 10 percent. The new three-floor care center helps address that growing volume, adding new areas for families of patients and staff. “We have more patients coming to this hospital, which means we have more staff and we need additional space for the support that staff is providing,” Fox told the Business Journal. “So this building is both a commitment to renovating our hospital and making sure we’re providing competitive state-of-theart facilities and equipment, but also making sure we have the right amount of space.” The new space was designed by international architecture firm Perkins Eastman. It adds a new waiting area for surgical procedures at the third level, with new family

lounge areas with Wi-Fi and charging outlets on the two floors above. The fifth floor also includes a new staff area with lounges, “quiet rooms,” a lactation room for working mothers, locker rooms and showers for staff. “A happy staff means happy patients,” Fox said. The sixth-floor addition includes a new parent area for maternity units and the neonatal intensive care facility. During the opening event, a group of more than 100 hospital administrators, staff and elected officials filled the new third-floor patient and family area so thoroughly that Fox joked it was hard to actually see the renovation work. Ribbon cuttings have become somewhat routine at the hospital, as Fox noted that White Plains Hospital has built more than 200,000 square feet of new and renovated space since 2015, including a 35,000-squarefoot expansion of its cancer care facility last year. It was in 2015 that White Plains Hospital officially joined the Montefiore Health System, which includes a network of more than 180 locations across the metro New York region. Dr. Steven Safyer, the CEO and president of Montefiore, said at the ribbon cutting

that the health network and White Plains Hospital are “on a roll here.” “I’m extremely proud of what we’re doing together,” Safyer said. “We've recognized from the beginning that White Plains Hospital is so important to this community.” In introducing White At the ribbon cutting were, from left: White Plains Mayor Tom Roach; Montefiore Plains Mayor Thomas Roach, President and CEO Dr. Steven M.

DUTCHESS TOURISM WEBSITE REACHES 1 MILLION VISITORS

Dutchess Tourism Inc., the designated tourism promotion agency for Dutchess County, announced that it had reached a significant milestone this fall. As of October, 1,148,197 visitors had come to the organization’s website, dutchesstourism.com, in 2017. This marked the first time the organization’s website reached the 1 million year-todate milestone. Web traffic was up 62 percent compared with the same period during 2016, which also saw an 87 percent increase from the previous year. The website features 1,262 listings in categories ranging from lodging and restaurants to history and the outdoors. It also offers spotlight articles, top 10 lists and suggested itineraries. A calendar of events has highlighted 6,505 events so far this year that have garnered more than 5 million views. Dutchess Tourism Inc. President and CEO Mary Kay Vrba attributed the jump to increased marketing and advertising efforts.

“We’ve been working very hard over the past number of years to consistently keep the ‘Distinctly Dutchess’ and Hudson Valley brands out there in front of people traveling from outside the area, and it’s paying off,” Vrba said. Tourism spending in Dutchess County in 2016 increased 7.6 percent over 2015 to more than $568 million. “Our investment in Dutchess Tourism continues to pay dividends — creating jobs, improving our economy and increasing revenues,” Dutchess County Executive Marc Molinaro said. “This milestone is evidence of what a valuable resource Dutchess Tourism is to the traveling public as well as to local residents looking for things to see and do in their own backyards.”

$250K FOR ROUTE 119 IMPROVEMENT PLAN Four Westchester County municipalities have received an intermunicipal grant of $250,000 from the New York State Thruway Authority which they’ll use to develop a plan for improving pedestrian and cycling safety

The town of Greenburgh, villages of Elmsford and Tarrytown and the city of White Plains will develop a Route 119 Complete Street Design Plan to update the corridor, Greenburgh Town Supervisor Paul Feiner announced. The grant is funded by a community benefits program agreement through the New NY Bridge Project. Feiner said the design will support high-quality access to the bridge while providing improved safety and better access for businesses and residents on Route 119. The municipalities will build a consulting team that will use existing studies and public meetings to create a plan that can be submitted for final engineering before July 2018, according to the town.

T WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE THIS WAY? BY MARK STEVENS

s a business manager, you’ve been told that one of the most important things you can do as a leader is to “Secure buy-in from your team.” This is allegedly critical for building a winning culture and, in turn, a competitive venture. But I say: Hogwash! Let me put it this way: when Steve Jobs had the epiphany to create the IPhone, do you think he woke up in the morning hoping that he could convince his employees that this was a good idea?” Of course not. You can attribute this to Jobs’ egotism — and there is truth to that — but far more important is that Steve had a vision of something that he liked to say, “would make a dent in the universe,” and he wasn’t about to seek consensus to pursue it. When it comes to leading your business (large or small), a set of politically incorrect facts needs to come into play: • Business is not a town hall democracy. The leader can and should welcome intelligent input, but in the end she must call the shots as she sees them. (I had the privilege of knowing the iconic Washington lawyer Clark Clifford, senior adviser to six US Presidents. He once told me a story I’ll never forget: “One night President Truman invited me into the Oval Office. He told me that he’d decided to drop an atomic bomb on Japan. Why did he call me in? “Clark, I don’t want your opinion on my decision. That’s for me to make. I just want to know if you think I missed any-

thing in my thinking.” • Employees want to know that the person in charge has a vision they can all contribute to. (I met alone with Bill Gates right after Microsoft went public. The campus was jammed with 3,000 highly enthusiastic young engineers. All were marching toBill’s mission of “a computer in every home and in every office!” Gates was ushering in The Information Age, and his team was in lockstep.) • It’s a cliche that the most successful leaders are those who are liked the most by their teams. Now, it’s always nice to be liked, but managing should never be viewed as a popularity contest. Far more important is to be respected and admired. From my experience, it is always so transparent when a manager reads a book on “leadership” and then heeds its principles like a paint-by-numbers exercise. First, employees can pick up on the rote nature if it all quickly and thus view the would-be leader as a follower in disguise. Second, by following someone else’s pattern, you put a lid on your own creativity, ideation and unique style. All of which are critical for establishing your personal credentials. As a wise and thoughtful leader. Mark Stevens is CEO of Almost Science and author of the best seller Your Marketing Sucks , founder of the marketing firm MSCO where he remains an advisor.

he Digital Arts Experience, a provider of after-school and weekend classes covering science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), has moved its operations from downtown White Plains to Central Park Avenue in Scarsdale. The DAE moved in mid-October to a 4,200-square-foot space at 303 Central Park Ave. from its previous headquarters, an 8,000-square-foot office on the first floor of 170 Hamilton Ave. in the White Plains Central Business District. Rob Kissner, president and founder of the company, said, "We have technically less square footage, but its more usable square footage." He said the move allows the company to be closer to the Scarsdale and Edgemont schools districts, with which it frequently works. Most important, it has a parking lot of its own. Kissner said the most common complaint the company heard from parents was about parking in downtown White Plains. When the company first considered its move, Kissner said it approached some parents about possible locations. "We asked, 'More convenient? Less convenient? What do you think?' They were like, 'We don't care as long as it has parking.'" The space, a former gym, also allows for an open layout, with rows of Mac computers lining the building's main room. Kissner said the company's previous space had a number of small common areas and hallways that were not usable for classrooms and teaching space. Working with Rakow Commercial Realty Group, the company signed a lease for the new space in September. Kissner said the conversion from gym to teaching center wasn't actually that difficult. The gym had been wired for TV screens in its workout areas and even featured a smoothie bar that the company has converted into a snack bar in the waiting room for parents. The company replaced some of the floors, knocked down walls that once formed the gym's locker rooms and repainted the walls. A month later, they moved in. The new space features a main classroom area where students have access to 22 Mac computers, a 3D printer and a number

of Mac laptops and Chromebooks. There also are three small private teaching spaces, with a fourth private space currently used for storage that they plan to convert into a multimedia production space with video production and recording labs. Founded in 2012, Digital Arts hosts summer day camps, after-school courses and Saturday programs for kids and teenagers that cover computer programming, 3D printing, graphic design, multimedia production and app development. In 2014, it launched a mobile tech lab, dubbed the DAExpress, to offer after-school programs on location in Westchester and Fairfield counties. Last year, the company added a selection of adult courses. Kissner said the company will adjust some of its offerings to take advantage of the new space, starting with its spring courses. It will also look to add two or three staff members to run additional programs. The off-site work the company does is the biggest part of its business, Kissner said. It plans to run seven classes per day, five days a week off-site this winter. Still, Kissner said he hopes Digital Arts new presence on the busy commercial thoroughfare of Central Park Avenue brings with it some additional visibility for its main location. "We have parents with kids in the car constantly passing by our location," Kissner said. "So in terms of visibility and the right kind of traffic, this is a very good spot."

Hatch 130 — » » From page 16

Thinking outside the box is key to Hatch’s business approach, said Lilly. “I know, I know,” he said with a laugh. “Everybody says that. But we try to put it into practice.” “When U.B. (University of Bridgeport) approached us about changing their website, they asked us to look at other universities’ websites. That’s fine if you want your site to look just like somebody else’s, but we’re more interested in stretching out and creating something unique, something that really stands out.” That’s the plan for Hatch 130 as well. Lilly aims to compete with such Connecticut marketing behemoths as Adams & Knight and Cronin & Co. “We take the approach that we can never know your business like you do,” he said. “What we do is come in and work with you to make what you do even better.” "And that's what we want to do with ourselves as well."

Based on the law firm’s fee of 26.3 percent on all potential claims, the case could cost Chase more than $9.5 million. The case was bought in 2015 by Tina Bellino of Tarrytown, under a New York law that requires mortgage companies to file proof within 30 days of a mortgage being paid off. “This is no mere procedural peccadillo,” the lawsuit states. Failure to file a satisfaction of mortgage disrupts the system of transferring residential properties, the complaint states. Without a clear title, for example, an owner may not be able to sell a property.

Bellino sold a Tarrytown property in 2012 and paid off her Chase mortgage, but the proof was not filed with the Westchester county clerk for 41 days. The complaint does not state that Bellino was harmed by the delay, but says she is entitled to $500 under the state Real Property Acts Law. A review of county records, according to the lawsuit, indicated that thousands, if not tens of thousands, of Chase mortgage satisfactions were filed late. The law firm and Chase negotiated a preliminary settlement that requires the bank to pay from $170 to $750 to New York

property owners whose mortgage satisfactions were not filed in time, from May 1, 2011 to Nov. 7, 2016. The penalty depends on when the paperwork was submitted to county clerks to be publicly recorded. Bellino was awarded $5,000 for representing property owners. Kurtzman Carson Consultants identified 33,850 potential claimants. The judgment does not say how many property owners chose to participate in the settlement and it does not specify the total amount of damages. Federal Judge Nelson S. Roman approved the settlement on Nov. 9.

mandates and the spirit of their contract. The homeowners’ attorney, Jon Kolbrener, responded that easements grant access only to the village and not to any member of the public or to members of the Friends of Wicker Creek who do not live in Dobbs Ferry. The bridge is not included in the easement, he said, and only residents of the Landing on the Water have the right to use it. Moreover, there has been a history of people trespassing to gain access to the waterfront, he said, and of people engaging in disruptive activities on the condo property. The Landing, he said, took steps to enforce its rights under the easement. If the homeowners prevail in the village’s lawsuit, the Friends of Wickers Creek lawsuit states, the Landing will resume locking the gate to the bridge. The Friends of Wickers Creek is asking the court to declare that the condo association may not lock the gate during the day or block access to the bridge.

CHASE ORDERED TO PAY IN CLASS ACTION SUIT A White Plains law firm — Finkelstein, Blankinship, Frei-Pearson & Garber — has been awarded up to $2.5 million in a class action lawsuit against JP Morgan Chase Bank over filing mortgage satisfaction papers slowly.

ASK ANDI

BY ANDI GRAY

Leaders focus on smooth running and growing year after year It’s up to me to organize the workflow – which is all about being in the office to oversee what’s going on. But I also have to arrange time when I don’t have to be in the office so I can be out selling. Those are my top two goals as the owner and leader of my company. How can you help me do a good job at both? Thoughts of the Day: All business owners have lots of demands on their time and knowing the priorities helps them stay on point. No business owner can do it alone, it takes a team to pull the business into the future. Knowing what to do now and what to put down for later makes it possible to accomplish more of the right things over longer timeframes. Congrats on focusing on two of the top

priorities for any well-run business: making things run smoothly in operations and doing what needs to be done to ensure sales growth year in and year out. Milestones can help you communicate direction and measure progress. Make a list of milestones to point toward, things that you and your team should focus on achieving to get the business where you want it to go. Let’s start with sales. You can control the inputs that lead to sales. Number of repeat customers, number of new contacts and qualified prospects, probable value of a sales pipeline; these are all inputs you can work to accomplish. Break down the number of activities that go into pulling off one sale: 2 old customers = 1 repeat customer; 15 new contacts = 5 qualified prospects = 1 sale. Decide how many sales you want from repeat customers vs. new customers. Multiply each activity by the number of sales needed for the year. Put those numbers up on the wall where everyone can see what you’re working toward. Post updates each week or month. Celebrate

Distinguish Yourself.

the wins as they come about. Identify where you’re falling short and ask for help. Assess the team. Are all of your team members pulling their weight and are they all headed in the same direction? Take a close look at who’s on your team and how well do they do. What gaps exist in getting the team well organized and producing results? Are all team members on board? Does everyone know where the team is headed and how they can help? Especially in operations, it’s critical to know the difference between high-payoff outcomes and busy work. Ask team members to assess the workload and workflow. What can be streamlined? How can output increase? What technological improvements will add to quality and profits? Most entrepreneurs are high-intensity people who love to tell others what to do. Control the urge to be in control. Build a team of people who can think for themselves, making appropriate corrections and improvements. That will free you up to put more time into sales.

For most of us, our days are full of lots of things to accomplish and not necessarily enough time to get it all done. Make sure you’re clear about the priorities you set for yourself and for the team. Take time to think about what is the purpose of each task and every priority you set before the team. Live by example, organizing your time around the company’s top priorities so that you can accomplish more of your milestones and help others to do the same.

Young professionals honored at annual Milli Awards BY ALEESIA FORNI aforni@westfairinc.com

illennial professionals are creating a momentum that will advance industry, culture and communications, said Doug Cedron, the keynote speaker at Westfair Communications second annual Milli Awards. Still, these young employees continue to face a number of challenges in the workplace. “We are urged to present ourselves not as we are, as old instead of young, as established instead of energetic, just to be taken seriously, be respected or simply be heard,” Cedron, a millennial himself and co-owner of Beer Noggin in Bronxville, said to those gathered for the event. Addressing the winners, Cedron added, “You’re here tonight because you met this challenge.” Westfair Communications, the parent company of the Westchester and Fairfield County Business Journals, held the awards dinner on Nov. 14 at 1133 Westchester Ave. in White Plains. Created in 2015, the Milli Awards serve as a way to recognize standout young professionals ages 21 to 34 working in either county. “Often, millennials get a bad rap, yet there are a lot of myths to be debunked,” said Anne Jordan, associate publisher at Westfair Communications. It is estimated that the nation’s 80 million millennials, who represent a quarter of the American population, control $200 billion in annual buying power. Cedron hoped to harness the buying power of his generation when he opened his store, Beer Noggin, at 102 Kraft Ave. in Bronxville in 2015. The beer bottle shop and taproom offers more than 200 types of craft brews, along with 12 rotating taps. “For us, Beer Noggin is much more than a craft beer bar,” he said, adding that his reason for opening the store is “centered around building community in a time when physical interaction with your neighbor is becoming increasingly more difficult and the connection between people is widening.” With Beer Noggin, Cedron said he and business partner Brendan Carroll felt passionate about building a “community

space” where patrons could interact with one another and bond. “As millennials, don’t we seek to work for passion instead of a paycheck?”, he asked the crowd. Winners of the event, who represent a variety of industries from nonprofits to finance, also shared their own passions when accepting their awards. For Brandon Bogard, financial advisoryand senior manager at Deloitte & Touche LLP, that passion is his own curiosity. “I’m always looking at the next technology,” he said. “What’s going to make our lives different tomorrow, and how can we help our communities better today?” Another honoree, Emily Gordon, said she also keeps her eyes open for any new opportunities. She aims to bring her younger perspective to her employer, Stamford 2030 District of The Business Council of

Fairfield County. “My goal every day is to challenge business as usual,” she said. The event’s presenting sponsors were the Westchester and Fairfield County Business Journals and WAG Magazine, all published by Westfair Communications. Professional services firm Deloitte was a silver sponsor, and the featured nonprofit was Habitat for Humanity of Westchester. The winners were:

What's on and who's in the market?

Falling inventory and falling prices for Westchester’s luxury homes

BY ALEESIA FORNI aforni@westfairinc.com

ousing inventory in Westchester County has reached its lowest level in 13 years, according to a recent report from Douglas Elliman, and while that record-low supply has led to frequent bidding wars in the low- to midlevel markets, the same cannot be said for luxury homes. "For the past several years, the Westchester housing market has remained ‘soft at the top,’ with faster-moving conditions in the mid and entry segments of the market,” said Jonathan J. Miller, CEO of Miller Samuel Inc. and author of the Elliman report. Though third-quarter inventory in the luxury market fell 2.1 percent year over year, real estate professionals agree that a wealth of high-end properties remain for sale. “When you start going $1.5 (million) and north, there’s a heck of a lot of stuff on the market and practically nothing selling,” said Mark Seiden, broker and owner of Mark Seiden Real Estate Team in Briarcliff Manor. Sales of luxury homes fell 7.1 percent year over year, according to the report from Douglas Elliman, while the median sales price slipped 1.7 percent to roughly $2.1 million, the first price decrease for luxury homes in four consecutive quarters. “Luxury inventory is declining as sellers are becoming more willing to let an overpriced listing expire, reducing confusion for new luxury sellers entering the market,” Miller said. “This is an encouraging trend as sellers are in the very early stages of getting more in sync with the market." However, price isn’t the only reason many luxury properties aren’t changing hands. “There are plenty of people in the market who I think are overpriced, but we also have plenty of stuff that I think is priced fairly reasonably,” Seiden said. “It’s just that the stuff that’s selling is selling for an ‘oh my God’ low price.” Higher inventory in that market segment can also be attributed to the deep pockets of many luxury homeowners. “Often in the luxury markets, sellers are prepared to keep the properties on the mar-

Westchester’s luxury homes market ranges from high-end listings such as this waterfront property at 408 Grace Church St. in Rye, priced at $14.99 million, and at the lower end of the million-dollar sector, this home at 328 Cliff Ave. in Pelham, listed at $2.988 milion.

ket for a long time,” said Stacey Oestreich, an agent with Douglas Elliman’s Strong Oestreich Team in Armonk. “It doesn’t affect their day-to-day lives. If they know they can garner an extra $100,000, $200,000 or even several million, they will hold it.” Instead of purchasing expensive houses, wealthy young professionals, traditionally the buyers of those properties, are opting for smaller, less expensive homes to raise their families. “Really, for the first time in history, we’re seeing the needs of people downsizing and the needs of people starting out, they want the same house, so that’s driving a lot of the demand for the middle- to low-end inventory,” said Holly Mellstrom, a broker at Julia B. Fee Sotheby’s International Realty in Bronxville. “People are trying to get by with

less, not more.” Agents agree that this shift is due more to a change in the mindset of young prospective buyers than a lack of funds. “The psychology of millennial buyers looking at big houses, they want a footprint that works for them,” Oestreich said. “They don’t have to go for that wow factor, whereas 15 years ago, you got as much as your money could buy.” Nancy Strong, a salesperson with Strong Oestreich, agreed that “in the 1990s, highend buyers were looking for a lot of land to show off their wealth and to really buy an estate.” Today, buyers are not as focused on square footage but more on experiences and location. “Now, they’re looking for proximity to the city and being in towns that have a lot going

on, with luxury neighborhoods, with luxury stores, with all that nearby,” Strong said. Buyers are also continuing to pass on older estate homes or houses that require a lot of fixing up, looking instead for newer builds and recently refurbished properties. “Nine out of 10 buyers want a beautiful, brand new, updated home to do very little work on,” Oestreich said. “That’s very often what holds a high-end property or any property from moving.” Many buyers coming into the Westchester markets are relocating from New York City, where they’ve become accustomed to “living in Manhattan in a building with a doorman, or a luxury building where things are done for you and you don’t have to worry about fixing the heat or changing a lightbulb,” said April Monaco, a real estate agent with Houlihan Lawrence's Pelham office. A preference for newly built homes is a trend that housing developers in Westchester County hope to capitalize on. At Greystone-on-Hudson, the luxury homes development overlooking the Hudson River and Palisades at 612 S. Broadway in Tarrytown, developer Andrew Todd said interest is strong. The development’s recently completed 18,000-square-foot home at 6 Carriage Trail is listed at $12.9 million. The nine-bedroom, 11-bathroom home, which boasts a wine cellar, workout room and rock climbing wall, has already secured a pair of offers, Todd said, though both were declined. “We’re definitely seeing people who are interested,” Todd said. “We’re a little different, because we’re a brand-new construction, and while there might be a lot of older houses on the market built a long time ago, very few are brand-new. We’re like a step above everyone else.” Though many agree the future looks bright for the low- to mid-end housing market, the picture is less clear for luxury homes. While Westchester’s luxury sector traditionally set the tone for the overall housing market, the opposite now seems to be proving true. “The question now is, how will the lower market and bidding wars start to push up the balanced market, which would then push up the luxury market?” Seiden said.

Rising signs for commercial office sales in Fairfield County BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

ollowing several years of moribund activity, commercial office sales in Fairfield County look to be on the rise. Several notable deals have closed this year and brokers are viewing 2018 with optimism. “You never want to be too bullish,” said Kevin Welsh, an executive managing director at Newmark Knight Frank in Stamford. "But I think that, for 2018, the office market is better positioned than it has been for a long time.” The county’s commercial office market has averaged about $300 million to $350 million in sales annually for the past five years - with the exception of 2016, when Greenwich Office Park was sold to Fareri Associates for $130 million - with 16 to 17 deals typically consummated each year. According to Sean Cahill, principal and managing director of Avison Young’s Fairfield/Westchester office, year-to-date office sales volume in dollars was only marginally lower in 2017 compared with

2016, while third-quarter sales this year were 27 percent higher than in the third quarter last year. While trailing the national average, Fairfield County’s current average office property sales price of $204 per square foot shows a strengthening over the past two to three years, Cahill noted. More than 20 properties of 20,000 square feet and up are for sale in Fairfield County, four of which are Class A buildings of 100,000 square feet and over, he said. It's a refreshing change from the general view of Connecticut as a market in decline that's prevailed for the past several years. “In general,” Cahill said, “over the last four years there’s been a ‘not in Connecticut’ label for institutional buyers.” But that is showing signs of change, he said, pointing to a pair of deals closed in July that involved CBRE Global Investors. Stamford Towers, consisting of buildings at 680 Washington Blvd. and 750 Washington Blvd. in Stamford, was acquired by CBRE from S.L. Green Realty Corp. for roughly $97 million. The three-story Greenwich Atrium at 75 Holly Hill Lane in Greenwich

was purchased by Benedict Realty Partners for about $25.6 million, with CBRE serving as the broker for seller S.L. Green. “It shows that the smart money is starting to come back to the market," Cahill said, "which should help improve its outlook in 2018.” “We’re definitely seeing more activity,” said CBRE’s Jeffrey Dunne, vice chairman of capital markets and institutional properties. He said a pair of Stamford sales totaling some $170 million could be announced soon. “We still expect a couple of deals to close this quarter and new ones to be announced in the first quarter” next year, said Dunne, who characterized the firm’s Fairfield County outlook as “cautiously optimistic.” Not surprisingly, Stamford is viewed by brokers as the hub of commercial office sales activity. “Stamford is definitely moving forward,” said Welsh. “It has a fantastic story right now, and we will continue to see that market improve.” In addition to the aforementioned

deals, Welsh pointed to the $22.5 million sale in June of 225 High Ridge Road in Stamford by RA 225 High Ridge LLC — represented by CBRE’s Dunne, Steven Bardsley and Travis Langer — to TNREF III High Ridge LLC, a joint venture between Darien’s Baywater Properties and an investment fund managed by True North Management Group LLC of White Plains. “That one goes into the ‘value-add’ bucket,” Welsh said, referring to a property that exhibits management or operational problems, requires physical improvement or suffers from capital constraints. Another value-add deal winning plaudits was the $31.75 million acquisition in October of the 215,000-square-foot Lee Farm Corporate Park at 83 Wooster Heights Road in Danbury. It was purchased by CT Property Realty from Summit Development of Southport and The Grossman Cos. of Quincy, Massachusetts. Summit spent more than $1 million in renovations to the property, according to that firm’s principal Felix Charney. Although Stamford benefits from its » Office Sales, page 40

When it came time to sell my factory building in Yonkers, I sought recommendations from a number of respected business people in Westchester County. Time and again I heard the same advice, “Give Rakow a call”, which is what I did. Selling a 40,000 square foot factory in Yonkers is not a job for amateurs. It requires the ability to determine which potential buyers would be a good fit, as well as the ability to resolve the inevitable issues that crop up. Selecting Rakow as my broker was an excellent decision. When I saw the work involved and the results achieved, I was particularly thankful that I had not attempted to sell the building on my own.

SmartMove brings first-time homebuyers to homeownership BY PHIL HALL

phall@westfairinc.com

he Housing Development Fund of Stamford announced last month that it was expanding its services for prospective homeowners to Putnam County and the five boroughs of New York City. This was the latest evolution for the nonprofit counseling and lending agency that began operations in 1989 with a very different mission. “We started off providing financing for developers of multifamily homes, and we continue to do so,” said Joan Carty, HDF president and CEO. “About 15 or 16 years ago, we started working with first-time homebuyers. We initially provided counseling so they could be better prepared to take advantage of the affordable home programs that the community banks offered.” Carty said the agency soon realized it needed a new game plan. “We quickly discovered that this area is so expensive that people needed financial assistance as well. They needed assistance for down payment

requirements and for closing costs.” At first, HDF relied on philanthropic resources and federal and state grants to fund its work. As interest in its services grew, so did its footprint. The Long Island, Westchester and Rockland County markets were added and in Connecticut it expanded statewide from the Stamford area . In 2005, the organization tapped the banking industry for help in a new approach. “We launched a bigger program called SmartMove that was capitalized by banks,” Carty said. “That has been our signature program for first-time homebuyers.” In the federal SmartMove program, borrowers can receive a second mortgage at 3 percent interest that covers up to 20 percent of the home’s purchase price. Service fees vary according to the state. Qualified applicants need to meet the program’s income guidelines, complete homebuyer counseling and education classes conducted by HDF or one of its partner counseling agencies and buy a home within the fund’s service areas. Borrowers also must have their first mortgage from one of the 22 lenders in

the SmartMove program and submit their second mortgage request to a pool of participating lenders that reviews and signs off on the application. “We’re one of the banks that share a pool and vote on the loans,” said Judith Corprew, executive vice president and chief compliance and risk officer at Patriot Bank. “This helps us in lowering the risk

level that could be associated with mortgages for first-time homebuyers.” Carty said the rejection rate is between 5 and 6 percent for SmartMove applicants. The process is a win-win for participating lenders, she said. “The first mortgage is going to be under 80 percent loan-to-value, so it is a safer first mortgage for the banks. It is a mortgage that is easier for them to sell into the secondary market. The second-mortgage pool is basically getting a loan that is made up from all of the different banks,” she said. One person who can attest to HDF’s effectiveness is David Zamary, senior vice president of residential lending at Stamford’s First County Bank. Zamary is among the lenders participating in the second-mortgage approval process, which also touched him on a personal level. “I’ve put my daughter through the program and she used it to purchase her house in Milford in 2013,” he said, adding that his daughter also benefited from the HDF counseling. “A lot of first-time homebuyers don’t understand how you can » » SmartMove, page 40

Westchester office space: Building biotech BY JONATHAN GORDON

s traditional office tenants downsize and occupy less square footage, the biotech industry is expanding. Although space requirements for biotech are more complicated and expensive than for typical Westchester office space, municipalities and landlords are looking to grow the county’s lab space inventory to accommodate the growing life sciences industry.

TOP BIOTECH MARKETS

Westchester is rising in its status as a top life sciences market in the U.S., ranking 9th in Jones Lang Lasalle’s 2016 Life Sciences Market Report based on the size of its workforce, biotech concentration, number of companies, occupancy rate, asking rent, lab supply and amount of funding. In the coming years, Westchester is looking to more than double its existing lab stock of 2.6 million square feet by adding 3.2 million square feet, in part by developing a new biotech and technology center in Valhalla.

Biotech expansion is important for the county, since life sciences companies are high-level employers in a growing field. Having an established biotech presence will bolster Westchester’s office market and support area employment and have positive residual effects on residential and retail real estate.

Westchester is proximate to two other biotech clusters — New Jersey, ranked 10th, and New York City, ranked 11th. NYC contains 2.8 million square feet of existing biotech and an additional 2.1 million square feet on Roosevelt Island to be completed by Cornell this year. According to the New York City Economic Development Corp., there are more than 100 life science companies based in the city, including industry giants Roche, Pfizer and Eli Lilly. It is also home to some of the world’s largest academic, research and medical institutions. Neighboring New Jersey boasts the highest concentration of scientists per square mile, employing more than 77,300 in the state.

BUILDING ON AN EXISTING PRESENCE

The single largest biotech firm in Westchester County, which occupies almost half of the biotech space here, is Regeneron, the fifth largest pharmaceutical company in the U.S. Founded in 1988, Regeneron has been headquartered at its Tarrytown corporate campus, Landmark at Eastview, since 1989. Since that time, its space use has grown from 12,000 square feet to 1.1 million

square feet. Regeneron houses about half of its 5,000 employees in Tarrytown. Regeneron has made huge investments in Westchester real estate over the last several years. In 2015, it paid $73 million for an undeveloped 100-acre parcel adjacent to its Tarrytown headquarters. In 2016, it purchased New York Life’s 383,000-square-foot office campus in Sleepy Hollow for $50 million. (New York Life has since moved its offices to the White Plains Central Business District.) In 2017, Regeneron completed a lease financing of its corporate campus, where a Bank of America entity bought the campus from Regeneron’s former landlord, Biomed Realty, for $720 million and leased it back to Regeneron for a five-year term. During the initial term, Regeneron has the option to extend its lease, purchase the property outright or sell it to a third party. This month, Greenburgh town officials approved Regeneron’s plan to build nine research and development buildings totaling 1 million square feet over the next decade on the 100-acre parcel it purchased in 2015. While Regeneron occupies most of

It is yet unclear what will happen with those tenants, which include Bayer Healthcare, Momentive Performance Materials, PsychoGenics, Profectus Biosciences, Progenics Pharmaceuticals and ICL-IP America. Other biotech firms with a significant presence in Westchester outside of Landmark at Eastview are Taro Pharmaceuticals USA, headquartered in Hawthorne, and Acorda Therapeutics, headquartered in Ardsley.

NOT YOUR TYPICAL WESTCHESTER OFFICE SPACE

Unlike typical office space, biotech companies have very specific requirements. Special build-outs necessitate backup generators, climate control, purified water and fire control. Biotech spaces usually have fume hoods, cold rooms, clean rooms, tissue culture rooms and other unique structures in their labs and administrative spaces. Other considerations include special zoning and meeting Food and Drug Administration Good Manufacturing Practice standards. This infrastructure is expensive and the typical tenant improvement investment in these facilities can range from $100 per square foot to $175 per square foot, two to four times the cost to build out traditional office space. The complexity of life sciences space requirements also means that it can be cost-prohibitive to repurpose existing office space, despite significantly higher rents, which average $52 per square foot

WESTCHESTER BIOSCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY CENTER

Initially conceived more than a decade ago, the Westchester Bioscience and Technology Center passed a significant hurdle last April, when Westchester County approved a 99-year lease on the 60 acres of county-owned land that the center will be built on. The public-private partnership combines the county’s 60 acres, also known as North 60, with 20 acres owned by private developer Fareri Associates. The proposed $1.2 billion, 3 millionsquare-foot complex will be in Valhalla, adjacent to the Westchester Medical Center and New York Medical College and with excellent access to both the Tappan Zee and George Washington bridges. It is also about three miles from Regeneron’s headquarters. The center will include 2.2 million square feet of biotech research space, 400,000 square feet of medical offices and a 100-room hotel. Approximately $40 million of initial infrastructure work needs to be completed, which includes new roads and utilities. Before infrastructure work can begin, however, the project is subject to a full environmental and site plan review by the town of Mount Pleasant, as well as approval from the New York City Department of Environmental Protection. According to the Business Journal, Fareri Associates expects remaining approvals to take about two years and the initial site work will take another three. The first building could be open in about five years. This article was reprinted from the Admiral Real Estate Services blog.

GHP FULLY LEASES TARRYTOWN BUILDING

GHP Office Realty has fully leased 660 White Plains Road in Tarrytown since acquiring the 265,000-square-foot, Class A office building in March for $30 million and completing a $5 million renovation, partners at the West Harrison firm announced. The deals, among 195,000 square feet of recent leasing activity at GHP’s Westchester properties, include the headquarters relocation of ENT & Allergy Associates LLP from a nearby office building in Tarrytown Corporate Center. The former RXR Realty property was 78

percent occupied when GHP and an investment partner, RD Management in Manhattan, bought it last spring. It was one of 19 office properties in Westchester and Fairfield counties, Long Island and New Jersey put on the market this year by RXR affiliates and the portfolio’s majority owner, RNY Property Trust, an Australian REIT managed by an RXR affiliate, to satisfy debt modification agreements with a bank lender. ENT and Allergy Associates (ENTA) has leased 38,128 square feet at 660 White Plains Road for its headquarters, which will be relocated from 560 White Plains Road. That property and the adjacent 580 White Plains Road

also were put up for sale this year by the Australian REIT and RXR. A specialty practice with about 195 physicians in 40 offices in the metropolitan area, ENTA will house its executive staff and a call center and data and IT center at its new location, according to GHP. The largest tenant at 660 White Plains Road, Prestige Brands Inc., renewed and expanded its long-term lease, GHP principals said, and will occupy 68,886 square feet of space on two floors for its corporate headquarters. A publicly traded distributor of over-the-counter health care and household cleaning products, Prestige Brands reported about $882.1 million in net revenues in 2017. At another GHP Office Realty property in the county, Fordham University renewed its 62,500-square-foot net lease at 400 Westchester Ave. in West Harrison for the university’s Westchester campus.

GREENWICH HOSPITAL LEASES MORE AT 54 W. PUTNAM AVE. Greenwich Hospital has finalized a lease agreement with Fareri Associates for additional space at 500 W. Putnam Ave. in Greenwich. The hospital has housed its outpatient endoscopy center at the West Putnam location’s main floor for a number of years. With this lease, it will be adding 54,000 additional square feet, bringing its total to 70,000 on three floors. “With this additional space, we will be able to relocate and expand some outpatient services,” said Marc Kosak, senior vice president, for administration at Greenwich Hospital.

The deals were announced by Jamie Schwartz, executive vice president of GHP Office Realty LLC, the property’s exclusive leasing agent for owner SKA Equities LLC. Kari-Out Co., a 53-year-old supplier of food industry products, renewed and expanded its lease to 7,630 square feet of third-floor office space. Michael McCall, first vice president at CBRE in Stamford, brokered the deal for Kari-Out.

An artist's rendering of the SoNo Collection shopping center in Norwalk.

Brookfield Property Partners L.P. has made a nonbinding proposal to acquire all the outstanding shares of common stock of GGP Inc., the real estate investment trust whose projects include the forthcoming SoNo Collection megamall in Norwalk. Under the proposal, Brookfield Property Partners, based in Bermuda, would pay $23 a share for the remaining 66 percent of GGP that it does not already own. GGP investors could choose either cash or 0.9656 of a limited-partnership unit of Brookfield Property for each share, subject to proration that keeps the consideration of cash and units from each exceeding $7.4 billion. The deal has been presented to the GPP board for consideration. The Chicago company had no immediate comment. If approved, the transaction would create one of the largest listed property companies in the world, with an ownership interest in almost $100 billion of real estate assets globally and annual net operating income of approximately $5 billion. “Brookfield’s access to large-scale capital and deep operating expertise across multiple real estate sectors combined with GGP’s high-quality retail asset base will allow us to maximize the value of these irreplaceable assets,” Brookfield Property Partners CEO Brian Kingston said. The combined company would be approximately 30 percent-owned by existing GGP shareholders. In addition to the 125 high-end retail properties it already owns — including the Staten Island Mall and the Woodbridge Center in Woodbridge Township, New Jersey — GGP is developing the 717,000-square-foot SoNo Collection megamall, a $525 million project that would employ about 2,500 full-time workers.

Nearly four years after it was first announced, the planned Walmart Supercenter in Monroe is a no-go. Although the retailer has decided not to proceed with construction of what was supposed to be a 150,000-square-foot Walmart — the only such superstore in Fairfield County — in a statement it said: “We remain very grateful for the support and professionalism of Monroe public officials while we worked through the development process and we look forward to continuing to serve our customers at our existing local stores and online at Walmart.com.” The company has about 40 stores in the state, with Fairfield County locations includ-

ing Danbury, Fairfield, Greenwich, Norwalk, Shelton, Stamford and Stratford. Discussions about building a Walmart on the southeast corner of Victoria Drive and Route 25 in Monroe began in 2014, and as late as this summer developer Kimball Land Holdings LLC said it believed groundbreaking was imminent. But the project had faced loud opposition by some residents and Tim Herbst, the first selectman of nearby Trumbull, citing concerns about traffic and threats to businesses. “We are disappointed with the decision knowing how hard both parties have worked to obtain all the necessary approvals and permits,” Kimball said, thanking local officials for their input. In September, Walmart also canceled plans for a supercenter in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, again citing unspecified “business factors.” — Kevin Zimmerman and Phil Hall

location and the convenience of its train station, proximity to the latter is no longer a “must,” Welsh said. “It’s the same trend you’re seeing in retail, making something more experiential. If you can take a building and add the kinds of amenities that people are looking for now, not being close to transportation no longer means that ‘it’s done, forget it.’” That is due in large part to millennials, who increasingly are gravitating to the suburbs, where they can afford to buy a house and be able to work nearby, provided a city has the nightlife and attractions that are still important to them. “You’re seeing the same kind of thing in Norwalk now,” Welsh said. Topping Norwalk deals this year was the $23 million acquisition in September of Cross Street Medical Center by Virginia-based Anchor Health Properties from Marcus Partners. Tenants at the 71,401-square-foot building at 40 Cross St. include Norwalk Surgery Center/Norwalk Hospital, St. Vincent’s Multispecialty Group, WestMed and the Center for

Advanced Pediatrics. Norwalk’s Glover Avenue has also seen significant activity lately. With the exit of tenants Aon Hewitt and Xerox to Norwalk’s 201 Merritt 7, Stamford developer Building and Land Technology found itself with 173,164 square feet of rentable space available at 45 Glover. That property is being redeveloped to include a new café, conference center and health facility, as well as a more open-space approach to its office layouts, said BLT Chief Operating Officer Ted Ferrarone. “We’re looking to create a multiuse ecosystem that’s comparable to (Stamford’s) Harbor Point, a 24-hour live-work-play dynamic,” Ferrarone told the Business Journal in September. Demand for mixed-use buildings continues to grow, said Christian Bangert, an executive vice president and partner at RHYS in Stamford. “Investors are looking to spread the risk,” he said. “If you have something that’s retail and office or retail and residential, if one tenant moves out it doesn’t necessarily mean you lose everything.” Brokers are keeping an eye not only on trends in retail, where the days of bigbox retailers like JC Penney and Sears appear to be numbered, but on geopolitical

issues as well. “You’ve always got to watch the stock market and interest rates,” Bangert said. “Plus, we have Russia, North Korea, all this political stuff that could affect us, especially if something happens that causes a severe economic downturn.” “But if there are no major global crises or financial changes,” Bangert said, “there’s no reason that we can’t see positive movement over the next four, five, six quarters.”

buy a house. They think you need an 800 credit score and put 20 percent into your down payment. But that’s not the way it works.” Bank participation in SmartMove and HDF’s counseling outreach also help financial institutions meet their federal Community Reinvestment Act obligations in serving the needs of their lending areas. But Michael Weinstock, M&T Bank’s market president for Connecticut and vice chairman of the HDF board, pointed out that the nonprofit’s mission

was also vital to strengthening local economic empowerment. “HDF works holistically with the individual,” he said. “Without their help, many people would have a hard time getting financing in the broader banking market. Not a lot of groups out there are doing that.” To date, Housing Development Fund has leveraged more than $400 million in first mortgages and more than $110 million in second mortgages. Approximately 2,600 households in Connecticut has been helped by HDF but only about 30 households in New York have benefited since the nonprofit started operating in the state in 2014. Carty said that in addition to helping first-time homebuyers, HDF also helped save others who may have fallen into serious financial trouble during the housing bubble. “In the early 2000s, real estate prices were doubling and tripling,” she said. “We had a lot of people who wanted our financial assistance, but they also wanted us to pre-approve them for a much higher mortgage than we thought was safe. Because we said no, people were kept away from a lot of those predatory-type mortgages. It vindicated our business model and reinforced how we look out for people.”

PLANNED PARENTHOOD GALA RAISES $450K Students volunteering at the Food Bank. Photo by Marc Levine.

STUDENTS UNLOAD 1,000 TURKEYS It takes a lot of effort by a lot of volunteers and organizations to be sure that the hungry in Westchester will be well fed during the Thanksgiving holiday. On Nov. 14, students from Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic School in Elmsford and the Solomon Schechter School of Westchester in Hartsdale, teamed up at the Food Bank for Westchester’s facility in Elmsford to unload 1,000 turkeys that Stop & Shop had donated. For more than 29 years, the food bank has led the fight against hunger in Westchester County, serving 300 frontline programs that provide food directly to the 200,000 county residents who are hungry or food insecure.

Hawthorne-based Planned Parenthood Hudson Peconic held its annual Empower Gala at the Hilton Westchester in Rye Brook and raised more than $450,000 for its health care services, education and training programs and advocacy efforts. Keynote speaker at the event was reproductive justice advocate Dr. Willie Parker. He described how the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. inspired him to believe that to be a true Christian he must show compassion for all women, without judgment. Nearly 300 guests joined together to bid on silent auction items ranging from “Hamilton” tickets, to jewelry, culinary and spa experiences. There also was a “live pledge” led by Adam Lipson and gala co-chairs Denise Lipson and Susan Chatzky during which attendees were invited to donate to the organization. The organization operates 10 health centers in Westchester, Rockland and Suffolk counties. In 2016, it provided services to more than 36,000 patients in more than 58,000 visits and offered 900 education and training programs, reaching 19,000 people.

PRESIDENT OF LARCHMONT LIONS HONORED Phil Oldham, president of the Larchmont Lions, received the Lions International President’s “Certificate of Appreciation” in recognition of his efforts in fulfilling the mission of the Lions Clubs International.

Oldham as cited for his distinguished service to the organization. In his acceptance, Oldham said, “While I was honored and surprised, I know that it could have been presented to all of the Sound Shore Lions Clubs. I have been recognized for bringing out what we as clubs and individual lions are doing in our Sound Shore communities, and our willingness to work together to build on our best.”

COLLEGE FOR MOUNT VERNON SENIORS Concordia College New York and Wartburg, the senior care center in Mount Vernon, recently announced a new partnership to give Mount Vernon senior citizens over age 65 the opportunity to earn a college degree without charge. David J. Gentner, president and CEO of Wartburg, along with Rev. Dr. John A. Nunes, the president of Concordia College and Mayor Richard Thomas of Mount Vernon spoke about the impact and opportunities this program will provide. Called SeniorU, the program will give adults in Mount Vernon the chance to earn a two- or four-year college degree in interdisciplinary studies. Classes begin in January. Gentner said, “As a senior service provider, Wartburg is thrilled to be a part of SeniorU. The program is truly unique yet also replicable and I am hopeful that my colleagues across the country will look for similar partnership opportunities.” Joan Parks, a Wartburg resident who already signed up, said, “I didn’t have a chance to go to college because I didn’t have time and was raising children. I am thankful I now have a second chance and truly appreciate the opportunity.” Thomas said the program will help make seniors competitive in the job market. Nunes said, “Learning doesn’t stop at a predetermined age; it never stops. We look forward to bringing all the worlds of Concordia to our SeniorU students and experiencing the new worlds that they will bring to us.”

BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY HOMESERVICES HONORED

People’s United Bank and the law firm Pullman & Comley LLC hosted the fifth annual “Celebrating Diversity in the Greater Bridgeport Business Community” reception. The event highlighted the work of women- and minority-owned businesses and was held in the lobby of 850 Main St. in downtown Bridgeport. Nearly 200 business owners, community leaders and nonprofit representatives attended. “We are here not only to recognize the importance of diversity and inclusion in our community, but also to celebrate your entrepreneurship and the positive and lasting impact your businesses have had for everyone in Greater Bridgeport and the region,” said Armando Goncalves, market president of People’s United Bank. Pullman & Comley’s Chairman James “Tim” Shearin, said “We appreciate all that each of you are doing to revitalize our city and region, by bringing a diversity of ideas, cultures and innovative products to the marketplace.” The Kennedy Center was recognized for helping people with special needs and disabilities from birth through their senior years.

KOSKOFF NAMED ATTORNEY OF THE YEAR Josh Koskoﬀ of Westport has been named “2017’s Attorney of the Year” by the Connecticut Law Tribune. He’s the third-generation principal of Koskoff Koskoff & Bieder PC, the Bridgeport-based law firm his grandfather founded. Koskoff was singled out for his ongoing work as lead counsel representing families who lost loved ones at the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting on Dec. 14, 2012, and for his courtroom achievements in 2016. The high-profile Sandy Hook case was brought to hold the gun industry defendants accountable in the use of a AR-15 military assault rifle used by the assailant. “I’m honored to have been selected from the outstanding nominees as this year’s attorney of the year. I’m also very fortunate to have a job that allows me the privilege of fighting for people whose lives have been turned upside down through no fault of their own,” the Westport resident said. “To the extent I have had any success in this area is owed directly to the team of professionals I’m lucky to work with, and the incredible support of my family.” In addition to his work in the Sandy Hook case, Koskoff, along with his colleague Katie Mesner-Hage, won two complex medical malpractice cases last year.

BRIDGEPORT ENGINEERING STUDENTS WIN SCHOLARSHIPS University of Bridgeport School of Engineering students won $4,000 in scholarships at the ninth annual Tristate AAAEA (Arab American Association of Engineers and Architects) awards dinner held Nov. 15 in Staten Island. The scholarships were awarded to undergraduate and graduate students majoring in engineering, architecture or computer science. More than 100 students from tristate universities competed for prizes. Eight winners were selected based on their grades, involvement in extracurricular activities and responses to a series of questions regarding their research interests and ways they might harness their skills to address broad social issues. Three UB students won awards. Wafa Elmannai is a Ph.D. candidate in computer science and engineering. Mohamad El Naamani is an electrical engineer from Lebanon and a master’s degree student in technology management. Zhaoqi Song, an undergraduate electrical engineering major, is interested in robotics and data processing “We are proud that the AAAEA and its expert judges recognized our engineering students’ hard work,” said Khaled Elleithy, associate vice president for graduate studies and research. “This is the second year that UB students have won numerous scholarships from AAAEA. Their success is inspiring.”

LAW FIRM DONATES 100 TURKEYS TO FOOD PANTRY Ventura Law in Danbury joined The Daily Bread Food Pantry to help feed the hungry and bring awareness to hunger issues in the city. The law firm provided the pantry with 100 turkeys for families and individuals as part of a nationwide community outreach effort known as the Injury Board Day of Action. Turkeys and canned goods were distributed at the Daily Bread Food Pantry at St. James Episcopal Church. “We are very excited to support the food pantry. They perform an invaluable service to those in need,” said Augie Ribeiro, CEO of Ventura Law. “We are pleased to do everything we can to give back to our community, not just during the holiday season, but all year round.” The IB Day of Action is a nationwide effort to bring together more than 100 plaintiffs’ lawyer firms from across the U.S. all working for the same cause on the same day. “We are passionate about helping Injury Board members give back to their communities; it’s part of the DNA of our organization,” said Tom Young, attorney and co-founder of The Injury Board, a professional association of trial attorneys who pool their time, talents and resources to expand the footprint of grassroots organizations. The Daily Bread Food Pantry began as a nonprofit organization serving the Danbury community in 1984. It helps those in need of food whatever their circumstances and maintains the dignity of their clients in a compassionate and caring atmosphere.

UNION SAVINGS BANK’S COMMUNITY HERO

Adam Blank

Danbury-based Union Savings Bank has created the Community Hero Award to recognize employees whose dedication to the betterment of others through volunteerism enriches local communities. The bank’s employees are invited to nominate co-workers who exemplify what it means to be a community hero. “Community giving is a part of our DNA,” bank President and CEO Cynthia C. Merkle said. “This program is designed to celebrate employees who embody that commitment through their dedication to enriching the lives of others.” The first USB Community Hero is Carla Pierce from bank operations. She has been a soup kitchen volunteer with the Dorothy Day Hospitality House, a food pantry volunteer with the Association of Religious Communities and a mentor with the Danbury Schools and Business Collaborative.

A partner at the Stamford-based law firm Wofsey, Rosen, Kweskin & Kuriansky has been appointed to serve as a member of the Connecticut Task Force to Study Fully Autonomous Vehicles. Adam Blank is one of 11 appointed members of the task force. Blank said, “It’s exciting to think about bringing this type of futuristic technology to our state, but it comes with great responsibility. We must ensure the safety of everyone on or near our roadways.” Plans call for a pilot program for up to four municipalities to test fully autonomous vehicles. Simultaneously, the task force will study various aspects of their use.

AMOS REPLACING BEATTIE AS JERICHO CHAIRMAN William G. Beattie, chairman of the Jericho Partnership in Danbury, announced that he has stepped down and that Carrie L. Amos, Jericho’s president, is taking the helm at the nonprofit ministry. Amos’ responsibilities will include setting and directing strategic objectives and working with the 27 local churches, eight ministry organizations and two foundations that comprise the partnership. Jericho’s 2017 Gala Celebrating Transformation will take place on Nov. 30 from 6 to 9 p.m. at The Amber Room Colonnade, 1 Stacey Road, Danbury. The gala will have a special focus: “Building on Legacy: Honoring The Beatties,” celebrating the legacy of founders William and Kathie Beattie. William, who is 79, was recently diagnosed with multiple myeloma and is undergoing treatment. In 1997, the Beatties began an outreach to at-risk urban teenage boys called Pathways Danbury Mentoring Project. Its purpose was to mentor boys at-risk and provide friendship and life skills that would negate the personal and social damage caused by the ripple effects of fatherlessness. Over the years, that initiative grew into the Jericho Partnership.
