Iona sues New Rochelle over zoning law

BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

I COMMUNITY STIMULANT

ona College is suing the city of New Rochelle for changing a zoning law so as to require more oversight of campus expansions.

Iona claims that the city misled the public with a confusing notice for a public hearing on the law. And the college accuses the city’s corporate counsel, who had once worked for Iona, of unethically using privileged information against the college.

City Manager Chuck Strome responded that Iona had tried to coerce the city into approving a land-use request. The conflict of interest charge and all other claims are baseless, he said, and the city will vigorously defend the lawsuit.

The law in question goes back

to the late 1990s, when the city and college began negotiating oversight of future expansions, according to the lawsuit filed Feb. 23 in state Supreme Court in White Plains.

The law passed in 2001 and requires any college, university or private school in a residential district in the city to apply for a special permit to expand outside of its campus.

Iona interpreted the law to mean that it could expand in any manner it deemed necessary, within its existing boundaries, without asking for a special permit.

That notion was tested in 2002, when the college petitioned the city to merge 24 pieces of campus property into one lot. City Attorney Kathleen Gill notified » IONA SUES, page 6

Solar is growing fast in New York, but are the jobs following?

BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com

N

ew York experienced nearly 800 percent growth in solar installations over the past five years, but a recent report says the state may have actually lost solar jobs in 2016.

The Solar Foundation’s annual solar jobs census found New York to be one of just six states in the country to lose solar-based jobs last year. The February report found that New York had 8,135 solar jobs in 2016, down 1 percent from the 8,250 jobs in the industry in 2015.

New York is still one of the top 10 states for solar jobs in the

country and its job loss is within the margin of error for the survey.

But at the very least, the numbers indicate a slowdown in hiring in the industry.

In interviews with experts in the state’s solar field, one word kept coming up to explain the jobs slowdown: uncertainty.

“There was some policy uncertainty, certainly with New

First Village Coffee perks community spirit in Ossining

BY ALEESIA FORNI aforni@wesrtfairinc.com

or many newly minted restaurant or cafe owners, opening their shop’s doors is the realization of a lifelong dream. But for Kathryn and Luis Corena, launching their coffee shop, First Village Coffee, along Main Street in downtown Ossining was more about meeting the needs of a changing village.

“It wasn’t like we had this dream and we were looking around as to where to do it,” Kathryn Corena said. “It was more, this has got to happen, and we’re just going to step up and do it.”

With the transformation of Ossining’s downtown landscape, including new residential developments and an influx of new residents, Corena said, she and her husband felt the village’s Main Street was missing a central gathering space, like a coffee shop.

“I was tired of running to other coffee shops outside of town,” Luis said.

The duo opened First Village at 123 Main St. last September in an attempt to fill that void. “We kind of kept waiting for somebody to do this and nobody did, so we’re like, this is the time,” said Kathryn, who, along with her husband, has called the village home for more than 15 years. “If we’re going to do it, we’re going to do it now.”

After gutting the 800-squarefoot interior of what had been a bakery and cafe, the Corenas aimed for the store’s aesthetic to be “a cool place, but also a very warm place.”

Industrial fixtures hang from the ceiling and mismatched chairs dot the shop’s interior. Paintings created by local artists line the walls, including a piece depicting Ossining’s history and evolution through the years.

“It felt weird to be obsessing over so many little details, but once we opened, people were like, ‘I love all the little details of this place,’ and I was like, OK, it wasn’t a total waste of my time,” Kathryn said. “It’s been crazy. The response has been amazing.”

“People are meeting here after work, meeting friends,” Luis said, gesturing to a

from Battenkill Valley Creamery, in Salem in upstate Washington County, and pastries from bakeries in Croton-on-Hudson, New Rochelle and New York City.

In addition to running the back end of the coffee shop, Kathryn has continued her work as a fundraising and marketing consultant for nonprofits and small businesses.

“I take on less clients now, but I do a lot of writing at 2 o’clock in the morning,” she said with a laugh.

Luis, whom Kathryn said is “just a people person,” has become the face of First Village, working behind the counter each day.

“He’s always had people say to him, ‘You should really be working with people and not in a warehouse,’” Kathryn said. “We kind of banked on that.”

Before helming First Village, Luis spent a decade working for USIS Inc., a technology services company based in Pearl River, but entrepreneurship runs in his blood. Growing up, Luis worked alongside his single mother who owned and operated a variety of businesses, including a number of restaurants, in his home country of El Salvador.

“He was the piece of the business plan that I couldn’t fully articulate,” Kathryn said. “I knew what he would be to customers, and that’s exactly what he’s become.”

With the addition of First Village, the couple hopes to add to what they see as the ongoing revitalization of downtown Ossining.

“I think there’s a really good energy here, and people are realPhoto by Bob Rozycki ly excited. I think there’s a lot of hometown pride in Ossining, and I think that sometimes doesn’t get realized,” a New York City-based company that Kathryn said. “Being a community hub for roasts in Millerton in Dutchess County. people to come and express that, I think “Specialty coffee is a very high level of qualthat’s going to be great.” ity, which makes it more expensive, but Housed in what was formerly Cidade there’s a reason for it,” Kathryn said.

First Village also sources its dairy products couple who had taken up seats at a table near the store’s entrance. “It’s exactly what I wanted for a downtown space.”

First Village offers a relatively limited menu compared to other similar spots, choosing instead to emphasize “quality over quantity,” Kathryn said.

“We wanted it to be really high quality and really low pretense, and I think that’s what people are responding to,” she said.

“We also tell people to ask questions. If you don’t know what a macchiato is, ask. That’s what we’re here for” The Corenas source their coffee from nearby Irving Farm Coffee Roasters,

Starwood gets zoning change for $450M United Hospital redevelopment

BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com

A

zoning change necessary for a $450 million redevelopment of the United Hospital site in Port Chester was approved following a six-hour meeting that stretched into the early morning of March 7.

The approval marks a major step forward for Starwood Capital Group’s plan to rebuild the decaying hospital site.

The proposal from Greenwich-based Starwood would turn the 15-acre site at 406 Boston Post Road into a neighborhood with a mix of residential, commercial and office uses. The plan, from Port Chester-based Streetworks Development, calls for a 135room hotel, 217,000 square feet of medical office space, 90,000 square feet for retail or small restaurants, 500 residential units targeting young professionals, 230 age-restricted apartment units for people 55 and over and about an acre of open public space.

The meeting included a public hearing for the zoning change, which maintains the

current floor area ratio for the property, but allows bonus density to build beyond it. In exchange, Starwood will pay a $3 million fee that the village can use for community planning, rehabilitation and affordable housing.

The board also approved a statement of environmental findings for the proposal, with an amendment that recommends the proposal replace workforce housing formerly on the site with 36 units of affordable housing set aside for people making 80 percent of area median income. The 36 units would represent about 5 percent of the residential units proposed in the project. The 95-page statement of findings covers possible impact and mitigation of the project on a range of topics from traffic and utilities to construction and natural resources.

The process to redevelop the site stretches back more than a decade. United Hospital closed in 2006 and Starwood bought the property that same year for $28 million.

Village Trustee Dan Brakewood called the project the “biggest development in the history of Port Chester.” Trustee Francis Ferrara called it a historic night for the village, before he was reminded that the clock

had turned past midnight and it was actually morning.

“This project has been paid plenty of attention to and is a true benefit to the village,” Ferrara said. “And let’s not forget the ultimate community benefit, which is the remediation of that deteriorated hospital and that fouled site and a beautiful new neighborhood for Port Chester.”

The vote followed a public comment session with 10 speakers who expressed a mix of concerns for the project, among them whether it would include affordable housing and if it would overburden schools.

Some speakers were in favor of the project, including one resident who said it should be great for the village in the long run.

Sustainable Port Chester Alliance, which describes itself as a mix of faith, housing, education, labor and Port Chester resident groups, said it is in favor of redevelopment of the United Hospital site, but it has pushed Starwood to agree to a community benefits agreement before the project is approved by the village. The agreement, as proposed by the alliance, would ensure the project provides jobs to Port Chester

residents, sets aside at least 20 percent of the project’s housing as affordable and asks Starwood to help fund expansion of Port Chester’s schools.

“Port Chester is our community. Unlike Starwood, we aren’t going anywhere,” Joan Grangenois-Thomas said. “We demand that development in our community benefit people like us and our neighbors, not just the bottom line of developers.”

The project now moves on to the site plan-approval process. Starwood is expected to seek a payment in lieu of taxes agreement with the Port Chester Industrial Development Agency as well.

The Business Journal reported last March that the developer would seek a $60 million PILOT agreement over 20 years. The project is expected to create 2,800 jobs, by Starwood’s estimates.

In a statement, Ellis Rinaldi, executive vice president at Starwood Capital Group, said the zoning change “will make it possible to transform the old United Hospital site into a vibrant mixed-use development that will benefit both Port Chester and the surrounding area.”

Urstadt Biddle sells Westchester Pavilion site for $56.6M

BY JOHN GOLDEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

U

rstadt Biddle Properties Inc. has sold for $56.6 million its vacant Westchester Pavilion property on South Broadway in downtown White Plains to an affiliate of the national residential developer planning a $275 million, three-year redevelopment of the shopping mall site as a high-rise apartment, retail and restaurant complex.

The developer, Lennar Multifamily Communities LLC, is a subsidiary of Lennar Corp., a Miami-based real estate development and management company and one of the nation’s largest homebuilders. The White Plains Common Council one year ago approved Lennar’s plan to raze Urstadt

Biddle’s 185,000-square-foot shopping mall on the nearly four-acre site and erect two 24-story residential towers with 707 rental units. Designed by Perkins Eastman, the towers will be built above nearly 94,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space fronting South Broadway and Maple Avenue.

The Westchester County Industrial Development Agency has approved approximately $14.5 million in exemptions on a mortgage recording tax and sales taxes on Lennar’s construction and equipment purchases for the project at 60 S. Broadway.

Lennar officials said the redevelopment will create an estimated 2,895 construction jobs and 72 permanent jobs.

Urstadt Biddle, a publicly traded equity real estate investment trust headquartered

in Greenwich and a prominent owner and operator of retail shopping centers in Westchester and Fairfield counties, in 2002 paid $39.9 million for the former Alexander’s Department Store property on South Broadway. The enclosed mall in recent years was left largely vacant by a tenant drain as new competition in the White Plains central business district emerged with the development of City Center and arrival of Whole Foods and other national retailers on nearby Bloomingdale Road.

Urstadt Biddle initially proposed in 2013 to city officials to undertake the site’s mixed-use redevelopment on its own, but reached a purchase agreement with Lennar about two years ago.

Steven R. Smalheiser, principal at Smalheiser and Partners in Armonk, repre-

sented Lennar in the transaction.

“Recognizing that our company is not an expert in large-scale, high-rise construction,” Urstadt Biddle Properties President and CEO Willing L. Biddle said in the company’s March 2 announcement of the sale, “we elected to sell the property to Lennar Multifamily Communities, which will follow through on our dream of building a beautiful, new mixed-use complex that will bring new life and vitality to the southeast end of White Plains.”

Biddle said the $56.6 million sales price “is a substantial premium over the price that we paid for the property, and when this premium is combined with the strong annual return we made operating the property, it is clear that the Pavilion was a very good investment for our company.”

Ossining rejects Chamber of Commerce petition

T

he village of Ossining announced on March 8 that Village Clerk MaryAnn Roberts has rejected a petition submitted in an effort to force a voter referendum on a previously approved traffic roundabout project in the village’s downtown.

Filed by the Greater Ossining Chamber of Commerce, the petition sought a public

vote on whether to defund the project’s previously approved $500,000 bond.

Gayle Marchica, president of the chamber, said the petition regarding the proposed roundabout received more than the 2,146 signatures needed to force a public referendum. As of press time, the clerk’s office determined that of 2,683 signatures submitted, only 1,634 were valid.

Roberts noted that signers of the peti-

tion neglected to include their election districts, as required by village law. She added that while only residents and registered voters of the village were allowed to sign the petition, it contained “numerous names” of unregistered voters and nonresidents. Other defects included signers not providing their full names, providing incorrect signing dates, signing the petition multiple times and printing instead of

signing their names.

Mayor Victoria Gearity has said that the traffic circle would provide safer flow for cars and crosswalks for pedestrians.

Opponents, including business owners, cited the traffic circle’s potential effects on safety, parking, traffic and economic development in downtown among their concerns.

Iona sues — » » From page 1

Iona that its application had been approved and it did not require a special permit.

Iona’s interpretation was tested again last year.

The college had begun planning in 2015 for a renovation or expansion of its Hagan School of Business at Beechmont Drive and Montgomery Place. By then, Gill had left city employment and was working for Iona as in-house general counsel.

She had participated in discussions at Iona about whether the college needed to merge several properties so that the size of the business school building would be proportional to its piece of land, in accordance with zoning requirements.

Gill left Iona later that year to work again with the city, as corporate counsel.

Last year she met with Iona’s land-use attorney to discuss the business school expansion. She advised the college that it did not have the right to merge lots without getting a special permit, the lawsuit said, and that failing to get the permit “would be problematic.”

Gill then helped draft an amendment

Solar Jobs — » » From page 1

solar power owners should be compensated for the excess energy they produce, known as net metering.

Uncertainty over what will come from those proceedings has stalled some projects, according to David Sandbank, director of NY-Sun, the solar arm of the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority. He said the state could soon see steady growth in community solar, but those projects are held up now while the state Public Service Commission develops rules for compensating developers and people who benefit from the power that community solar projects produce.

Community solar refers to projects that don’t have an end-user and instead allow multiple people to benefit from energy credits produced by a solar array. The projects open up solar power to people who can’t develop such systems of their own, such as renters or homeowners whose rooftops aren’t suitable for panels. Changing policy can help community solar flourish in the state, Sandbank said, but in the meantime installation is stalled.

“They can’t move forward yet until they know what the compensation methodology is,” Sandbank said. “And so I’ve got a pipeline right now larger than what is built in the state ready to move forward once there is clarification.”

Sean Garren, Northeast manager for the

to the 2001 law. A phrase that had excluded existing property from the rule was deleted.

A clause requiring a special permit for merging lots adjacent to a campus was added.

No other types of property are required to get a special permit to merge lots, Iona said. The purpose of the amendment can only be seen as “depriving Iona of its property rights.”

Iona said Gill should have recused herself from any matters she had been privy to when she worked for the college. The lawsuit accuses her of breach of ethics.

She continued to have discussions with Iona’s land-use attorney, Iona said, but never told him that the ordinance had been revised.

Last July, New Rochelle issued a notice for a public hearing on several zoning proposals. The page one summary of the 17-page notice identifies more than a dozen zoning proposals but makes no mention of the law that applies to Iona. The Iona amendment is listed on page 10 but is misidentified under a code used for a different district.

State law requires municipalities to give the public the opportunity to be heard on proposed laws, Iona said, and the notice failed to do so.

New Rochelle was also working on a law to require landlords to give the city addresses of students living off campus.

The law passed and New Rochelle asked Iona for a list of all off-campus students.

Officials implied, according to the lawsuit, “that without Iona’s cooperation Iona could have issues with its zoning application for the expansion of its business school.”

Iona did not provide the names, citing privacy and safety issues. During a meeting in September a city official allegedly said that Councilman Barry R. Fertel, sponsor of the student housing law, was upset with Iona and that he was an important person for an approval the college would need for the business school.

Iona petitioned the city in November to merge several pieces of property. Five days later, the City Council unanimously approved the zoning amendment.

Five weeks later, the city denied Iona’s application to merge lots, citing the need for a special permit.

Strome responded to requests for comment that were made to Gill and other city officials.

He said college representatives had reached out directly to Gill to discuss their

nonprofit solar advocacy group Vote Solar, said community solar projects also open up additional jobs in sales and marketing as developers need to find and communicate with customers for the power an array produces.

“The state of the New York solar market is still relatively strong and the potential is obviously enormous,” Garren said.

Doug Hertz, president of Sunrise Solar Solutions LLC, a Briarcliff Manor-based solar installer, said he has seen some national companies leave New York after struggles, which he said may have contributed to job losses. He added that a slowdown could also be attributed to low natural gas prices stabilizing energy costs in the state.

“At the beginning of the decade, we were seeing these crazy increases year over year and it really pushed people to look for alternative sources,” Hertz said. “So when natural gas prices dropped, now all of the sudden people’s bills have been steady for a year or two. So I think it took some of that urgency out of folks.”

Jamie Glover, the president of White Plains-based solar installer Green Hybrid Energy Solutions, said he believes smaller firms in the state performed better than national companies, which he said often use a lease model for residential solar sales.

“The market realized that leases were not as advantageous and the larger companies felt that pain,” Glover said, adding that he expanded his workforce from 14 to 26 last year.

The state has been able to boost its solar

capacity in the past five years, according to a press release from Cuomo’s office. About 750 megawatts of solar power have been installed since 2011, a 795 percent increase.

That’s enough to meet the needs of about 121,000 homes, according to Cuomo. The state attributed the increase to lowering costs of solar equipment, state grants and tax incentives and a growth in installers.

The mid-Hudson region, which includes Westchester, Rockland, Orange, Putnam, Dutchess, Ulster and Sullivan counties, had about 163 megawatts of solar installed in 2016, according to state numbers. That is second among the state’s 10 defined economic development regions. Only Long Island has more with 214 megawatts.

The Solar Foundation jobs census is based on surveys of close to 4,000 solar establishments in the country between October and November 2016. The Solar Foundation found that solar industry job growth in the country outpaced overall growth in the U.S. economy by 17 times.

Solar employment increased by more than 51,000 jobs total. The state with the most jobs, by far, is California, where its 100,000 jobs are about 85,000 more than runner-up Massachusetts. Texas, Nevada and Florida round out the top five, though New York isn’t far behind in sixth place.

Past Solar Foundation census data show that New York consistently added solar jobs from 2010 through 2015, though the foundation did not release state job numbers in its 2012 census. Nationwide, solar jobs increased about 180 percent from 2010 to

plans. She raised the conflict of interest issue and college representatives expressed no concern.

“In fact, Iona wanted our corporation counsel to remain involved,” Strome said.

Only after it became clear that the city would require council approval and formal community input did the college raise the conflict issue.

He said college representatives “engaged in threatening and aggressive conduct in an effort to coerce and intimidate the city to allow the merger in clear violation of zoning law,” and threatened to disparage city officials if the merger was not granted.

Fertel said Monroe College and The College of New Rochelle provided student names and addresses. He was disappointed and unhappy with Iona for refusing to do so, but “the city was not being heavy-handed.”

The problem, he said, is that “Iona does not want public scrutiny of any development.”

“I think their petition is fully without merit and should be dismissed,” Fertel said.

Iona is asking the court to declare the zoning amendment invalid and to make the city approve the land merger. It wants an order directing Gill to recuse herself from Iona matters while she works for the city.

*According to numbers provided by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo’s office.

2016, according to the data. In New York, solar jobs increased by about 130 percent over the same time period.

NY-Sun’s Sandbank said that regulatory matters may stall solar progress occasionally in the state, but the important number to consider is the $1 billion state solar fund.

Cuomo committed in 2014 to provide that support to NY-Sun to help the state reach 3,000 megawatts of solar by 2023.

“There are regulatory goals within that that will sometime stall a business model,” Sandbank said. “But when I say long-term and transparent, I really mean Governor Cuomo’s one billion-dollar initiative saying that we have the political will, we’re here, we have earmarked these dollars and they are going to be spent in solar.”

Yorktown passes tax break for business property improvements

BY ALEESIA FORNI aforni@westfairinc.com

A

tax abatement program aimed at assisting businesses which want to invest in Yorktown has been unanimously approved by the town’s board. A public hearing on the program was held Feb. 21.

The program, authorized under section 485-b of the New York State Real Property Tax Law, allows businesses that invest in improvements to their commercial, business or industrial property to qualify for a tax break on the increase in the location’s assessed value. The program would allow the businesses to phase-in the increase over a 10-year span.

“We have to be aggressive in Yorktown, because we’re always in competition with other communities,” Yorktown Town Supervisor Michael Grace said. “We’re looking for investments in Yorktown, so we’re doing everything we can to attract that.”

For the first year, the exemption would be 50 percent of the increase in the property’s assessed value attributed to the improvement. That figure would decrease by 5 percent in the next nine years. To receive the exemption, businesses must simply submit a form and provide proof of the improvements — between $10,000 and $50,000 — to the town assessor’s office.

Grace said the exemption will help spur economic revitalization in the town and the rehabilitation of dormant properties, adding that “to get traction, especially in the

ELMSFORD’S PARTY CITY BUYS AUSTRALIAN COMPANY Party City Holdco Inc., a party goods designer, manufacturer, distributor and retailer headquartered in Elmsford, has acquired Balloon Agencies, a wholesaler and distributor of balloons and party supplies in Brisbane, Australia.

Party City said the acquisition is valued at $1.9 million, 20 percent of which is conditional upon future business performance.

“In addition to geographic expansion throughout Australia,” Party City CEO James M. Harrison said in the announcement, “this acquisition now gives us direct access into the specialty retail channel with BA’s established customer base and web business.”

infant years of a business, you need to have your costs to be low.”

Grace believes the program will help protect small businesses from rises in rent costs that stem from higher real estate taxes that a commercial complex owner would pay following an improvement.

“It should help every strata of commercial businesses, whether big, small or somewhat in between,” Grace said.

According to James Gazzale, assistant public information officer with the state Department of Taxation and Finance, 485-b is an opt-out exemption. Municipalities “opt out” by reducing the offered percentage of the tax exemption to zero. Town Attorney Michael J. McDermott said Yorktown chose to opt out of the program in the early-1990s.

Twenty-eight towns, villages and cities in Westchester have also chosen to opt out of the exemption since its creation in 1976, according to New York State, including Rye,

Yonkers and White Plains.

Yorktown, which has been mulling the exemption since early 2016, hopes the program will entice new businesses to open up shop in Yorktown. Grace said a number of potential redevelopers have shelved plans to invest in Yorktown because of projected higher real estate tax costs. “This is a way to address that,” he said.

McDermott called the program a “winwin” for the town and the business community.

“In this climate, the economic engine of Yorktown is small business,” he said.

“Anything we can do incentivize small business has a growing affection on our area, as well as the local economy.”

However, some residents are concerned the program will have the opposite effect and hinder small-business growth in the town.

“My concern is that the tax incentive without additional guidelines may under-

mine the competitiveness of small businesses when faced with the arrival of large chains like Lowe’s,” resident Melvyn Tanzman said, referring to the home improvement chain’s plans to construct a new store at 3200 Crompond Road.

“The ordinance as passed gives tax incentives to large projects which were planned without any tax incentives,” added Tanzman, who recently announced his plan to run for town supervisor. “There is no reason to lose this town income when developers of larger projects will proceed without these incentives.”

Yorktown resident Maura Gregory said the board provided no evidence that these tax abatements actually work. “They just reduce the tax base and create a race to the bottom as nearby communities all feel they must do so as well to attract business,” Gregory said of the abatement program. “This increases the burden on everyone else.”

the Mount Kisco condos they discovered numerous impediments.

A person in a wheelchair couldn’t open heavy doors, reach mailboxes, maneuver over a 4-inch lip to the shower stalls, navigate through a narrow kitchen or squeeze through the access to the washing machine and dryer.

On March 1, Assistant U.S. Attorney Christine S. Poscablo sued the Sutton Manor developer and architects for discriminating against people with disabilities, under the Fair Housing Act. The lawsuit names three Great Neck, Long Island companies — Bedford Development LLC, Carnegie Construction Corp., and Jobco Inc. — their owner or principal, Robert Pascucci, Elmsford-based

Warshauer Mellusi Warshauer Architects and Sutton Manor board of managers.

The case was filed on behalf of condo owners Ina Grober, Linda and Michael Tracey and Gloria and Mark Koller. Linda Tracey uses an electric wheelchair and Gloria Keller and Grober use walkers.

Pascucci’s attorneys, Ronald Rosenberg and Gary Lewi, responded that the lawsuit does not tell the whole story or truth and they expect the case to be resolved in his favor.

Pascucci bought the land in 2000, the complaint states, approved the designs and oversaw construction. He also oversaw unit sales and after the condominiums opened in 2007 responded to complaints as president of the board of managers until late 2013 when the last unit was sold.

Sutton Manor, 234 N. Bedford Road, had advertised as being “ADA compliant,” referring to the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.

Nine condo owners asked the developer to remedy access problems, the complaint states, before the building opened.

Westchester Residential Opportunities Inc., an advocate of nondiscriminatory housing, also sent a letter to the developer on behalf of buyers regarding accessibility and received no response.

Less than a year after Sutton Manor opened, Westchester County Human Rights Commission filed a complaint against the developer and architects. The commission ruled in 2010 that they had failed to design or build accessible doors and mailboxes.

Rosenberg said the human rights commission acted on behalf of the owners of all 47 condominiums. It did a comprehensive investigation, analyzed all complaints and made an agreement with Pascucci to resolve the dispute. Pascucci made the fixes to everyone’s satisfaction and the commission signed off on the case in 2011.

“Three unit owners, for reasons known to themselves, chose to opt out,” Rosenberg said. “We wanted to have a universal settlement with all unit owners and the human rights commission and 44 out of 47 were on board.”

Grober, the Traceys and the Kollers filed a complaint with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in 2010, identifying more building features that had not been fixed.

Last year, HUD charged the developer and architects with discrimination, and the owners chose to have the case filed as a civil action by the attorney general.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office is asking the federal court in White Plains to declare that the defendants violated the Fair Housing Act, enjoin them from discriminating in the sale or rental of units and to award damages to the complainants.

Rosenberg said Pascucci takes pride in his work and takes his obligations seriously.

“When this was brought to his attention 10 years ago, he addressed it, he didn’t hide,

he didn’t run. He sat down with the agencies and people and worked out a mutually accepted remedy.”

A representative of Warshauer Architects did not respond to requests for comment and the firm’s attorney said court papers have not yet been served so he was unable to respond to specific allegations.

FORMER RAMAPO OFFICIAL PLEADS GUILTY IN FRAUD CASE A former Rockland County official admitted that he and another official lied to municipal bond investors to conceal a town’s deteriorating finances.

Aaron Troodler, former executive director of the Ramapo Local Development Corp. and assistant town attorney for the town of Ramapo, pleaded guilty on March 7 to securities fraud and conspiracy in federal court in White Plains.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office described schemes in which Troodler and Christopher P. St. Lawrence, Ramapo town supervisor and president of the RLDC, fabricated the town’s finances to help sell $150 million in municipal bonds.

They were originally charged last April with securities fraud, wire fraud and conspiracy. St. Lawrence has pleaded not guilty and a trial has been scheduled for next month.

Most of the charges center on a minor league baseball stadium, now known as Palisades Credit Union Park.

Taxpayers had rejected a proposal to build the stadium by a 70 percent margin in a 2010 referendum. Then St. Lawrence said it would be built with private funds. But the town, the government said, paid for more than half of the $58 million project.

RLDC, the development corporation created and owned by the town, issued a $25 million bond in 2011.

The government said that St. Lawrence of Wesley Hills, and Troodler, 42, of Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania, masked their use of public funds for RLDC projects and that the stadium project in particular severely strained town finances.

For six years, Ramapo reported general fund balances ranging from $1.4 million to $4.1 million. Actually, according to a lawsuit filed last year by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, general fund balances ranged from minus $249,000 to minus $13.9 million.

That matters to bond investors because the town guaranteed the bond payments.

Investors were told that principal and interest would be paid with stadium revenues, meaning that the town would not have to pay off the bonds and making the bonds appear less risky.

The government has 47 tape recordings, but only two that were monitored by law enforcement, according to a defense » » IN COURT, page 12

Residents concerned about Good Counsel campus redevelopment plan

BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com

N

eighbors to the former Good Counsel campus on North Broadway in White Plains are speaking out against a proposed redevelopment there that would bring a mix of student housing, apartments and an assisted-living facility to the historic campus.

More than 30 residents attended a March 2 meeting on the development in a filled White Plains Common Council chamber. The meeting was a public scoping session on questions and issues to be addressed in an initial environmental impact study required by the developer as city officials consider the developer’s request to rezone the campus as a planned residential development area.

Concerns from the 10 residents who spoke included the impact on air quality, traffic and noise the project and its construction could bring.

“My clients are not opposed to the development of the site. However, we are

opposed to this particular plan and this particular application for a zoning change,” said Clifford Davis, a White Plains-based environmental attorney representing residents of 10 Stewart Place, a 12-story condominium building near the Good Counsel campus.

The project proposal is from WP Development NB, LLC — a group of investors led by Manhattan-based George Comfort & Sons Inc., which also owns and operates The Centre at Purchase office park and 900 King St. in Rye Brook and High Ridge Park and Shippan Landing office parks in Stamford. The group paid $16.3 million in 2015 for the 16-acre property adjoining the Pace University law school.

The campus was used for more than a century by a teaching order of Roman Catholic nuns, Sisters of the Divine Compassion, which announced plans in 2014 to market the property and closed two parochial schools on the historic site.

WP Development’s plan, designed by international architecture firm Perkins Eastman, calls for 400 rental housing units in two 10-story buildings, 40 of which would be reserved as afforable housing; a separate

facility with 70 units of graduate student housing for the neighboring Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University and a 125bed assisted living facility with a care unit for residents with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias.

The developer also plans to preserve two historic buildings on the property — the Sisters of Divine Compassion chapel and the Mapleton House, now used as an administrative office. The Mapleton House would be moved to the north side of the chapel to make way for the assisted living facility. The chapel is leased to the Sisters of the Divine Compassion for 50 years, who will continue to use it for religious services and related purposes, according to a WP Development spokesperson.

The developers have pitched the city on the 2.7 acres of campus green space it will make publicly available, as well as the increased real estate tax revenues the project would bring.

To save the green acreage at the North Broadway front of the campus, the developer has proposed to build the two apartment towers on the rear eastern portion of the property, where the campus backs up to a Pace parking lot and then the Interstate 287 barrier.

That location, Davis said, will cause more disruption to 10 Stewart Place condo owners and other residents of Ross and Warren streets. He added that the location would place apartments above the I-287 sound barrier, disturbing future residents there.

“When those people, if this project ever gets off the ground and is built, they are going to come and complain to this board as to how this project was ever built,” Davis told Common Council members.

Ilene Stockel, a resident of 10 Stewart Place, said she feared the disruption from the construction of the proposed apartment towers and assisted-living building would force her to move. “I really started thinking about how sad I felt, knowing I put my life savings into a condo that I may have to move out of for that reason,” she said.

Of concern to Barbara Allen, a 10 Stewart Place resident and president of the Stewart/Ross Neighborhood Association, is the possibility that the construction could expose hazardous material.

In an amended zoning petition on Oct. 21, WP Development’s environmental consultant, AKRF, acknowledged that open space on the south side of the campus near Ross Street was filled in 2004 as part of an attempt by the Sisters of the Divine Compassion to construct athletic fields.

A later state Department of

Environmental Conservation (DEC) inspection found that the backfill used for the project contained construction and demolition debris, including asphalt and crushed concrete. The material was used without the required DEC permission and the owners filed a state-ordered remediation plan for the site. The DEC certified that Sisters of the Divine Compassion had complied with all remedy steps in 2014, according to the AKRF memo.

Allen asked the city an independent environmental consultant to review the possibility of hazardous material at the site.

“Before any rezone is considered,” she said, “we need to know what lies beneath on this property. Has it ever been maintained?

Ever been monitored? And is there anything that any of us could have been already exposed to?”

Geoff Thompson, a spokesman for the project, told the Business Journal in a statement that soil samples taken from the site before its purchase confirmed it was safe for construction, as long as standard and protective measures were put in place, such as dust wetting.

“The DEC has clearly stated that there are no open enforcement proceedings against the site,” Thompson said. “There is no toxic material.”

The company said it is working closely with the DEC, which will have to approve a plan for construction on the site.

The assisted living and memory care facility would be at the center of the campus and contain 80 beds for assisted living and 45 for residents with some form of dementia. It would be operated by Sunrise Senior Living, a Virginia-based company that operates more than 300 assisted living facilities in North America and the United Kingdom. The company manages Sunrise at Crestwood in Yonkers and Sunrise at Fleetwood in Mount Vernon.

Pace graduate and professional students would be housed in a four-story, 89,250square-foot building on the northern end of the property adjacent to the law school.

The suite-style housing would hold up to 150 beds.

Pace law school Dean David Yassky has offered support for the project. He wrote to the Common Council to say the housing would make the school “more attractive by providing essentially on-site housing location for our students and their families, eliminating the need for students to find alternative housing locations on their own.”

Pace has no operational involvement in the development and the student housing would be managed by a third party.

In Court —

Yonkers aims to become ‘next great urban frontier’

BY ALEESIA FORNI aforni@westfairinc.com

A

iming to position Yonkers as “the next great urban frontier,” the latest phase of the city’s millennial-targeted marketing campaign is

underway.

The city’s $350,000 “Generation Yonkers” campaign launched March 1 with six television ads that will run for three months on FIOS and Cablevision. The campaign also includes 60-second spots that will run on WCBS-880 radio through the end of August. Generation Yonkers will also sponsor the station’s opening bell stock market report each weekday morning.

“When we first launched Generation Yonkers, we set out to answer the question, ‘Where is the next Brooklyn? Where is the next Hoboken?’” said Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano during a news conference at the Hudson River Museum announcing the campaign. “The answer, I think, is pretty clear that Generation Yonkers is what’s next.”

Developed by Westchester-based public relations and marketing agency Thompson

» From page 8

& Bender, the campaign also will include print ads in local publications through the end of the year. Interior car cards will appear on the Metro-North Harlem and Hudson lines through March 26. Generation Yonkers launched a website in connection with the campaign, which will also include Facebook ads, geotargeting and contextual ads.

The ads feature Yonkers residents, professionals and business owners describing what makes Yonkers “the city to live, work and play in,” Spano said.

“You look at Brooklyn and you look at Yonkers, Yonkers just makes more sense,” Jason Evege, founder of textile company Linoto, said in an ad. Linoto moved its manufacturing facility to Yonkers from Manhattan in 2008.

“As a business owner, it’s so refreshing to be in Yonkers. People are happy to meet with you. There’s more space. They’re more receptive to what you need to keep your business goin,” Evege said.

The most recent marketing blitz marks the third round of the Generation Yonkers marketing campaign. The previous two campaigns launched in April 2014 and October 2015, respectively.

motion challenging their accuracy and authenticity.

In 2013, for example, St. Lawrence assured a bond rating service that he expected the general fund to end 2012 at $2.4 million. Immediately after the telephone conference call, the government said, St. Lawrence urged town employees to refinance short-term debt as fast as possible because “we’re going to have to all be magicians to get to some of those numbers.”

The government said Troodler and St. Lawrence artificially inflated the general fund balance by using phony receivables, omitting unpaid liabilities and improperly recording transfers from another fund.

In 2010, for instance, they included a false $3.6 million receivable. Without that phony asset, the general fund would have had a negative balance.

They allegedly created another fake receivable for $3.1 million, from 2010 to 2015, based on an RLDC agreement to buy a property from the town. The sale never closed because the property was infested with rattlesnakes. If the transaction had been taken off the books, the general fund would have had a negative balance. They kept the receivable on the books, according to the government, by pledging for years

that it would be paid back within a year.

Even after the FBI searched Ramapo Town Hall in 2013, St. Lawrence allegedly claimed that the town was going to receive more than $3.1 million in reimbursements from the Federal Emergency Management Agency for expenses from Hurricanes Irene and Sandy, even though claims had not been submitted.

St. Lawrence also is accused of improperly transferring more than $12 million from an ambulance fund.

The charges against Troodler carry maximum prison terms of 20 years for securities fraud and five years for conspiracy. He is scheduled to be sentenced on Sept.

18 by federal Judge Cathy Seibel.

The SEC lawsuit names the town, RLDC, St. Lawrence, Troodler and other town officials.

The SEC seeks to bar the men from the municipal bond market and require the government agencies to implement courtsupervised monitoring of their finances and practices for five years.

The SEC, FBI and Rockland County District Attorney’s Office assisted in the investigation.

Troodler’s plea might be the first conviction of a public official for federal securities fraud involving municipal bonds, U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said in a news release.

Democratic lawmakers express dismay about Trump

BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

T

he T-factor infused a panel discussion on March 6 featuring three Democratic U.S. representatives who discussed infrastructure, health care and immigration.

The T is President Donald Trump, and all three lawmakers expressed dismay about the president’s first 45 days in office.

But they also allowed for a sliver of hope in solving big problems with bipartisan support, if the president is willing to lead.

“He’s a bull in a china shop,” said Eliot Engel, who represents the Bronx and southern Westchester County in New York’s 16th Congressional District. “And that doesn’t work in government. It’s all about compromise.”

Nita Lowey, Engel and Sean Patrick Maloney spoke at a “Report from

Keeping the goodies in and whacking the taxes is like a barrel headed for a waterfall.

It will blow a hole in the budget.

— SEAN PATRICK MALONEY

Washington” breakfast sponsored by the Westchester County Association at the DoubleTree Hilton in Tarrytown.

Roads and bridges built in the 1950s are crumbling, Engel said, and rebuilding the transportation network and other infrastructure would be a strong economic stimulus. It would also be a good political move.

“Infrastructure is our best chance for bipartisan cooperation in Congress,” he said.

Engel is a member of the congressional committee that would deal with health care reform, but by the time the breakfast took

place he had been unable to get a copy of what was then a rumored replacement bill.

“That’s no way to do legislation on a bipartisan basis,” he said. “That’s the way to gridlock.”

He said the president should reach out to everyone in Congress to find ways to tweak the Affordable Care Act, “not break it.”

Trying to reform health care by pulling out pieces of the law would collapse the whole system, said Maloney, who represents mid-Hudson Valley communities in the 18th Congressional District. The big issues are not just cost and coverage, but the impact of the health care law on the debt and deficits.

“Keeping the goodies in and whacking the taxes is like a barrel headed for a waterfall,” he said. “It will blow a hole in the budget.”

Lowey, who represents parts of Westchester and Rockland counties in the 17th Congressional District, said the president is creating an untenable situation with immigration.

She expressed shock that school children are being told to make sure they have a place to go to if they come home to an empty house, and immigrant parents are being told to make sure they have arranged for a guardian for their children in case they are deported.

She supports a sure path toward legality, if not actual citizenship.

Engel said the nation is being punitive toward people who are doing menial jobs who came here for the same reason our grandparents came here: to find a better life.

He advocates a path toward citizenship.

But he is pessimistic because Trump has shown no interest in allowing undocumented immigrants to stay.

Maloney said it is not OK for immigrants to come in illegally or break our laws, but the penalty should not be drastic. Immigrants are a critical part of our economy, for instance, in providing labor for many of the farms in New York.

“We want them to get right with the law,” he said, and “the president has an opportunity to get a bill passed.”

Maloney was wary of Trump but the most conciliatory, perhaps in part because his was one of only 12 Democratic districts nationwide that went for Trump. “If the president gets serious,” he said, “we can do good things on infrastructure, tax reform and health care.”

He said the president will find cooperation if he stops tweeting long enough to reach out to Congress. He has to lead.

“The business community is ready to go,” Maloney said. “This is the time to move.”

Family businesses share spotlight at Westfair event

BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

I

t’s not often that a local businessman who is busy with the day-to-day details of keeping his family-owned business running smoothly answers the company’s phone and hears a voice at the other end say, “I’m calling from the White House and I have an invitation for you to meet the president.” But that’s what happened to Douglas H. Wade Jr., president of Wade’s Dairy in Bridgeport.

Wade was keynote speaker at the fourth annual Family-Owned Business Awards event presented by Westfair Communications on Feb. 28 in White Plains. The more than 450 guests gathered in the rotunda of 1133 Westchester Ave. listened intently as Wade told about his meeting three years ago with President Barack Obama.

Award nominations from Westchester and Fairfield counties came from such diverse sources as business customers, competitors and colleagues. Entries were judged by professionals with backgrounds

in business and economics: Anthony Davidson, dean of Fordham University’s School of Professional and Continuing Studies; Marcia O’Kane, president and CEO of the Greenwich Chamber of Commerce; Peter Gioia, vice president of the Connecticut Business and Industry Association, and business consultant and Business Journals contributing columnist Andi Gray, president and founder of Strategy Leaders Inc. in Stamford. In all, 26 family-owned businesses were honored with an award.

In his keynote address, Wade said that his great-grandfather started the dairy business in 1893, making deliveries twice a day. At the time there were about 1,000 dairies in Connecticut. Today, there are only three. Wade’s business is now centered on product distribution. “I’m fourth generation; there’s a fifth generation coming up behind me,” he said. “They’re kind of chasing me out the door.”

Wade, whose company has 66 employees, said he has learned that “nepotism doesn’t work; people have to earn the right to be your employees, and that

includes your family.”

He said that he knows of some family businesses that failed to survive because of a reluctance to make tough decisions.

“There will come a time when you need to be lean and mean and cost-effective and you’ve got to have everybody pulling their own weight in your company,” he said.

A few years ago, Wade became involved in the public debate over the federal minimum wage, remembering that back in the ’70s, when he worked at a fastfood restaurant, he was paid the hourly minimum of $1.60. He figured that when adjusted for inflation and not even considering increased productivity, $1.60 would equate to $10.50 per hour today; yet the minimum wage was stuck at $7.25.

So he wrote an editorial for a newspaper, and that led to an invitation to join a roundtable in Hartford with U.S. Secretary of Labor Thomas Perez and Connecticut’s U.S. Sens. Chris Murphy and Richard Blumenthal.

“Two days later, I’m in my office and picked up the phone and this guy named Bobby Schmuck is telling me he’s calling

from the White House and I have an invitation to meet the president. Now I think, I’m getting a crank call here.”

It was not. The caller was Robert E. Schmuck, former deputy director of the White House Office of Political Strategy amd Outreach. Wade and his wife Ramona met with Obama backstage when he spoke on March 5, 2014, in New Britain.

In his speech, Obama said of Wade’s Dairy: “One of the secrets to their success is that they treat their employees like part of the family. So Doug pays his own workers fairly. But he goes a step further than that — he writes editorials, he talks to fellow business leaders, he meets with elected officials to make the case for a higher minimum wage for everybody. And keep in mind, Doug spent most of his life as a registered Republican. This is not about politics. This is about common sense.”

Wade told the audience at the Westfair event about giving jobs to convicted felons who made mistakes when they were 18 or 20 and ultimately became part of his business family. “To give people sec» FAMILY BUSINESSES, page 16

ond chances in life is the right thing to do. We’ve actually gotten some incredible, dedicated, very thankful employees out of this process,” he said.

Each award recipient was asked the question, “Which comes first, business or family?”

The answers onstage favored family.

James P. McHale Jr., of JP McHale Pest Management in Buchanan, said, “It’s all about family; we did a lot of refining, reshaping, seeing what each family member brought to the table.”

Geri Corrigan, of Darien Sport Shop, accepted on behalf of Gina Zangrillo, saying, “Everyone who walks in the door of the store is family.”

Mark Zanin, of ATP Group in Larchmont, said, “We need the business to be strong so we can provide for other families; it’s a 50-50 balance.”

Westfair Publisher Dee DelBello said the turnout at this year’s Family-Owned Business Awards event “just goes to show how vibrant, strong and vital family-owned businesses are to our region. The awardees, from diverse industry sectors, were absolutely inspiring with their messages — their families justifiably proud.

CVS TO CUT 99 JOBS FROM ROCKLAND FACILITY CVS Health Corp. will consolidate distribution facilities for one of its affiliates, costing 99 jobs in Rockland County.

The company filed a required notice with the state Department of Labor on March 2 that the employees would be let go by the end of May from its facility in Chestnut Ridge.

The plant, according to a company spokesperson, is used as a long-term care distribution facility for Omnicare, an affiliate company of CVS. Omnicare, which delivers drugs and helps long-term care facilities manage medications, was bought

by CVS in 2015 for $12.7 billion.

The work done at the Rockland County facility will be consolidated to Omnicare distribution centers in Ballston Spa and Plainview in New York and in Whippany, New Jersey, the company said.

“We made this difficult but necessary decision in order to better integrate and manage Omnicare’s long-term care distribution services to help better meet the

20

WCBJ

needs of our long-term care clients,” said Gary Serby, a CVS Health spokesperson.

After CVS completed its purchase of Omnicare in 2015, the company announced plans to cut 232 workers, or about 40 percent of the employees at Omnicare’s Cincinnati headquarters. CVS Health has also made cuts in other parts of the business, including 600 corporate jobs in Rhode Island, Illinois and Arizona in November.

Employees were notified last week and will be eligible to receive severance benefits, including outplacement services, according to the company.

MOUNT VERNON MAYOR SEEKS JAMAICA TRADE DEALS Mount Vernon Mayor Richard Thomas went to Jamaica March 3 in search of trade opportunities.

He had been invited by Prime Minister Andrew Holness to meet and discuss how the country and the city can collaborate on business development. Thomas posted a selfie on Instagram of himself with Holness but did not announce any deals.

Mount Vernon has a large Caribbean community, Thomas said, and Holness is well aware of the city because he has relatives here. Thomas said he has been discussing commercial trade with Jamaican representatives at the United Nations.

Thomas said there are opportunities for increasing trade at port facilities on

Eastchester Creek. More than 700,000 tons of cargo are transported through the channel annually, including petroleum, sand and gravel and scrap metal. A large tank farm is the locus of petroleum distribution in the region.

Thomas will meet with executives of Petrojam, a petroleum refinery owned by the government of Jamaica that already ships products to Eastchester Creek to encourage more trade.

Mount Vernon and Jamaica are known for their excellence in track and field, Thomas said, so there could be opportunities for encouraging sports events, as well as tourism, in both places.

The city’s Industrial Development Agency approved a request on Feb. 28 to pay for the trip for Thomas and another city representative, up to $4,000.

EMPIRE STATE BROKERS WESTCHESTER LEASES Empire State Realty Trust Inc. (ESRT) has brokered several new leases in Westchester.

There were three leasing deals at 10 Bank Street in White Plains: Sidney Frank Importing Company Inc. leased 29,800 square feet, with Jay Hruska and Skip Lane of Cushman & Wakefield as the tenant brokers; CohnReznick LLP leased 13,000 square feet, with Gregg Metcalf of Jones Lang LaSalle, Michael Siegel and Gus P. Nuzzolese of Colliers International as

500 Mamaroneck Ave., Harrison

the tenant brokers; and Mitsui Plastics Inc. leased 12,000 square feet, with Craig S. Ruoff of Cushman & Wakefield as the tenant broker.

There were four leasing deals at 500 Mamaroneck Avenue in Harrison: ONS leased 15,400 square feet, with Garry Klein of Houlihan Lawrence Commercial Group LLC as the tenant broker; InsMed Insurance Agency Inc. leased 4,500 square feet, with Matthew Lisk of Cushman & Wakefield as the tenant broker; Genesis Capital Advisors LLC leased 1,500 square feet, with Stephanie R. Coleman of Colliers International; and JVN Global Inc. leased 1,000 square feet.

“We have seen a robust volume of lease transactions,” said Jeffrey H. Newman, senior vice president of ESRT. “Quality tenants are drawn to our properties’ convenient locations and superior amenities.”

Newman represented ESRT in the transactions, along with Senior Leasing Associate Kimberly Zaccagnino and Leasing Associate Tara Long.

Four reasons to invest in your brand today

et’s set this straight, branding is not just about a logo.

Even the most beautiful logo means nothing without the right brand story. This backstory comes from understanding the company, what it stands for and what its vision for the future is. Only with this clear definition can images, colors, fonts and words come together to gain meaning.

Why invest in the company’s brand?

1. You’re already doing it.

Believe it or not, you’re already branding yourself. Your business card, website, and conversations with clients are speaking for the company. If you don’t control the messaging and direct the story, you let the public decide who you are and what you stand for, and they’re probably not getting it right.

We offer an industry-proven, integrated marketing approach to our real estate clients and their residential, commercial and mixeduse properties. Applauded by clients and peers, we were awarded Website of the Year by the National Association of Home Builders and have also won multiple international branding and website development awards.

Just like a great business suit, our experienced design and strategy team provides a custom fit to ensure your company looks its best in the marketplace.

2. Close deals faster.

Smart shoppers know that the management company and developers are just as important as location and price. A brand that offers a solid reputation and clear identity will help convince potential tenants to sign. Too much convincing won’t be necessary when people already know your company and its values.

3. Stand out.

It’s no secret that competition abounds.

Think, what’s the difference between the office space you have for lease and WeWork’s office space? Branding. Proper branding will uncover your hidden advantage and tell your unique story.

4. Leave a legacy.

A logo will only get you so far, but a powerful brand has a lasting impact. A brand extends beyond the square footage and FAR calculations to connect with people on an emotional level. It is no coincidence that brands are “built” – just like buildings are constructed. It takes time, but brands have staying power.

First impressions really do matter; so do second, third and so on.

Silver Creative Group is a modern creative agency that mixes strategy, design and technology to provide an impressive arsenal of creative services that truly deliver. Over the past 14 years, we have been building brands for leading real estate developers and property managers in the New York City metro area.

Vibrant Norwalk Corporate Campus Available For Lease After Long-Term Corporate Occupancy Building and Land Technology welcomes tenants to amenitizedoffice park in first offering since property was originally developed for Hewitt Associates

A

state-of-the art centerpiece to Norwalk’s premier office park is attracting attention from corporate tenants since its owner, Building and Land Technology (BLT), recently placed it on the market for lease. The building, located at 45 Glover Ave., hasn’t been available to the general market since it was constructed for Hewitt Associates in 2000.

The manicured campus with abundant green space is situated on a hilltop overlooking the Merritt Parkway and Route 7, in close proximity to the Metro-North Train Station

Towers complex because it helps create an environment in which corporations and their employees can thrive,” said Ted Ferrarone, COO of Building and Land Technology. “We’ve placed a strong emphasis on cultivating a fi rstclass and truly state-of-the-art office experience. We view this property as the perfect setting for dynamic companies and we’re excited to welcome new tenants to 45 Glover.”

On site at the Class A corporate campus, comprised of three buildings, including 45 Glover and spanning 900,000 square feet, are full-service cafeterias, fitness centers, several outdoor patios, exquisitely manicured courtyards and

We’re proud of 45 Glover and the Towers complex because it helps create an environment in which corporations and their employees can thrive,” said Ted Ferrarone, COO of Building and Land Technology. and a multitude of nearby resources. These include a vibrant retail corridor with hundreds of stores, five quality hotels, casual and fi ne dining, childcare, pet care and new housing, which will ultimately include more than 1,000 multifamily units.

The building’s proximity to the vibrant Norwalk waterfront and retail core, coupled with a full array of its own on-site amenities, answers the growing demand for a live/work/play culture, an increasing priority in the corporate community as tenants seek to recruit and retain young talent. BLT’s longstanding focus on the needs of modern tenants has attracted GE and Diageo to the Towers complex.

“The importance of a centralized location and highly amenitized environment can’t be overstated. We’re proud of 45 Glover and the

terraces, a helipad, ample parking and an ideal branding opportunity – thanks to the building’s available signage perched above the Merritt Parkway and Route 7. Newmark Grubb Knight Frank is marketing the building, which features flexible floor plates of 41,000 square feet that can accommodate a wide range of tenants.

Adjacent to the campus, BLT is constructing a mixed-use development that will ultimately feature more than 1,000 residential units, retail services, biking trails, private courtyards and more. “We’re generating particular interest from millennial-fueled TAMI and fi nancial tenants, and we believe that our commercial and residential projects will feed each other,” Ferrarone said. “We view quality residential and retail as amenities to modern office space, and vice versa,” he added.

Local 825 expands community involvement

WE MOVE MOUNTAINS PROVIDING PEAK PERFORMANCE TO OUR CONTRACTORS

T

he Operating Engineers of Local 825 — who live and work in five counties of New York state and all of New Jersey — enter 2017 with renewed enthusiasm, following a significant legislative accomplishment in New Jersey.

Together with its labor-management organization, Engineers Labor-Employer Cooperative (ELEC), they helped achieve a $16 billion funding program over eight years for transportation infrastructure. They also promoted the adoption of a referendum preventing law makers from diverting those funds to nontransportation needs in the future.

“With the transportation infrastructure-funding crisis behind us, the Operating Engineers and ELEC will turn their attention to fortifying and fixing our states’ ailing water infrastructure,” said Greg Lalevee, General Vice President of the International Union of Operating Engineers and Business Manager of Local 825.

“Our water system is out of date and poses real risks,” said Lalevee. “We’ve already heard about lead being found in the water in dozens of New Jersey municipalities. And while lead is a major concern, serious structural problems are less obvious because they are hidden below ground.”

Funding for water infrastructure improvements would be used to improve pipes and watertreatment infrastructure, collect data, improve sensors and adopt new technologies that extend the life of these complex systems. Money would be saved in the long run by using less water, making more out of what we have and avoiding costly waste and infrastructure failures.

While the political will to raise money remains a challenge, politicians, voters and businesses hold the power to make commonsense decisions to maintain our quality of life and keep residents safe, Lalevee said.

Local 825 Operating Engineers collaborate with contractors to move mountains and help them reach the pinnacle of success.

From raising the Bayonne Bridge, to expanding major highways, building highrises and transforming the Xanadu eyesore into an American Dream, we change the landscape with monumental contributions to the world we live in.

Local 825 Operating Engineers are the best trained and most experienced on any construction site. Fully licensed and credentialed, we’re ready to work, day one. Developers and contractors turn to us to get big things done safely, on time and on budget.

Moving mountains. Local 825 Operating Engineers work together to build better communities.

Approximately 38 of Local 825’s operating engineers are on the job at the CPV Valley Energy Center construction site in Middletown, New York. The 720-megawatt energy plant will provide enough clean energy to supply 720,000 homes in the lower Hudson Valley.

Powered by clean, efficient Siemens F-class gas-turbine technology, the plant’s low-emissions profile is expected to contribute to the continuing trend of improving air and water quality in the

AN ADVERTORIAL RESOURCE GUIDE | MARCH 13, 2017

area. Recognizing the importance of water conservation for future generations, the CPV Valley Energy Center offers an innovative design with advanced air-cooling. Unlike “wet” cooled facilities, the Center uses recycled water from a nearby wastewater treatment facility, reducing water use by nearly 85 percent.

“Local 825 is proud to be called upon to take part in this highly efficient, combined-cycle construction project,” Lalevee said. “It is certain to be an important part of the region’s future.”

Building toward Legoland Local 825 and ELEC have also been working with local governments, contractors and the Orange County Industrial Development Agency to encourage approval of Legoland’s newest theme park in Goshen, New York.

This is another huge project that will favorably impact union contractors, Local 825 Operating Engineers, not to mention children of all ages.

There are only two other LEGOLANDs in the United States. Each is more than 100-plus acres, featuring more than 50 rides, shows and attractions. The Goshen site would include rides and attractions, an aquarium, theaters, restaurants,

a hotel and other facilities to be built in two phases.

“A development of this size and scope is going to involve important infrastructure work, too,” Lalevee said. The construction is expected to provide 800 jobs, including 35 Operating Engineers from Local 825 on water, sewerage and road improvements. These will all require highly skilled and experienced workers.

“This is what we are all about,” Lalevee said, “bringing labor and management together to stimulate development and create long-term work opportunities and improve the communities we live in.”

Wawayanda training center nears completion Local 825 is expanding its own investment in New York state with the construction of a new state-of-the-art training center in Wawayanda. Construction of three buildings — a main headquarters, a field house and a depot to service heavy equipment — began in September.

The buildings were enclosed by December and interior work continues through the winter. A spring opening is planned, if the weather continues to cooperate.

Operating Engineers maneuver cranes and other heavy equipment through the CPV Valley Energy Center construction site in Middletown, N.Y.

SPECIAL REPORT

Banking and Finance Region’s branch banking still thrives in the digital age

BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com

I

f one relied solely on banking industry data reports, it would seem that the days of bank branches are numbered.

The number of U.S. bank branches that were open for business peaked at the end of 2009 with 99,564, and has been in decline ever since. By the end of 2015, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. reported 93,283 branches in operation, the lowest level in a decade. And a forecast issued last month by PricewaterhouseCoopers predicted there will be at least 20 percent fewer branches for the nation’s largest financial institutions by 2020.

While many branches around the nation are being closed, online banking has been on the rise. A recent study by FI Navigator and Celent found 57.1 percent of U.S. banks and credit unions offered a mobile banking app; 85.7 percent of financial institutions with more than $100 million in assets offer mobile banking.

In another study released this month by the Mercator Advisory Group, 65 percent of respondents said they were performing banking activities by smartphone or tablets, up from 60 percent in 2015 and 58 percent in 2014. And the percentage using a mobile device for transactions including bill payment, check deposits and funds transfers reached 45 percent in 2016, up from 41 percent in 2015 and 36 percent in 2014.

Millennials were found to be nearly twice as likely to prefer smartphones for their online banking rather than desktop or laptop computers.

This region has not been spared branch closures.

Most recently, Waterbury-headquartered Webster Bank announced in January that it plans to close its Scarsdale and Danbury branches this spring, although the company opened 17 branches in the greater Boston area during 2016. Webster maintains 24 branches in Fairfield County and eight in Westchester County.

In October 2014, First Niagara closed five of its branches in Fairfield County.

First Niagara was acquired by KeyBank in 2016, which resulted in the closure of

106 branches in four states, including 15 branches in the Hudson Valley. But Ken Raskin, KeyBank vice president and area retail leader of New York City, Westchester and Fairfield, noted that many closures were the result of market overlap between First Niagara and KeyBank branches.

“We had a case in Mount Kisco where two branches were within three or four storefronts of each other,” he said. “In a case like that, it didn’t make sense.”

KeyBank now operates 12 branches in Westchester and eight in Fairfield County.

While it has no plans for more branch openings this year, the company is open to considering expansion in the near future.

“We absolutely view this as a growth market,” said Raskin.

Meanwhile, Bankwell, headquartered in New Canaan, is in a full-throttle growth plan. “We have nine branches in Fairfield County and New Haven and we’re looking to add a couple of branches this year,” said David Dineen, executive vice president and head of community banking. “We are very focused on the Stamford and Norwalk areas for additional branches, especially as we plan to develop new business on the commercial lending side.”

Across the New York border, The Westchester Bank in White Plains is readying to expand its branch network. “We have six branches and we’re looking for branch

number seven,” said John Tolomer, president and CEO of the community bank. “Our business plan calls for a new branch each year and we’re always looking for the best possible locations.”

These area financial institutions do not see their branches as antiquated relics, but vital channels of communication with customers.

“Our branch managers are out often two to three days a week building relationships with our customers,” Tolomer said.

“We almost want our branch managers to be the mayors of their local communities.

When someone has a banking issue, we want them to think of our branch managers as the go-to persons.”

And there is still a sizable number of customers to keep branch banking thriving in the region. Stratford-based Sikorsky Financial Credit Union Inc., for example, which operates six branches in Fairfield County and three within Sikorsky facilities, finds an appreciative customer base among seniors.

“We get a lot of people in our branches between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., which would indicate they are mostly retired because most people who are working would not be in a branch at that time of the day,” said Charles Hoddinott, the credit union’s senior vice president and chief operations officer.

“We’re a very transactional-oriented insti-

tution and a lot of our customers do their transactions at the teller line.”

In addition to millennials and their banking habits, “We’re seeing the older generation look to mobile services, too,” said Bankwell’s Dineen. “They interact with kids and grandkids with their iPads and phone, so this is the next logical step for them.”

Dineen added that millennials came into Bankwell branches when the company started a pet adoption initiative in conjunction with nine Connecticut animal shelters. “Millennials are focused on what you do in the community you serve and in corporate philanthropy,” he said, noting that Bankwell offered matching dollar donations for customer contributions to the shelters’ fundraising.

Yet Greg Jacobi, senior vice president for distribution at Webster Bank, cautioned that mobile banking is still a relatively young technology whose fullest potential has yet to be tapped. “Our mobile banking is a fraction of what we see ourselves doing in the future,” he said. “We plan to build out more and more capability.”

Erasing the human element from banking in favor of digital interactions would be a grave mistake, Jacobi said. “Anyone can have a mobile app where you can punch in numbers. But you need to have bankers at the other end — that is a critical element.”

Syndicated loans can finance large projects and help midsize companies grow

T

here are instances in commercial lending when the capital needs of a borrower are too big for a single bank to finance. When this happens, a group of lenders come together to form a syndicate, which then provides loans to a single borrower.

Traditionally, borrowers have been large corporations or government entities who need funds for takeovers, mergers and acquisitions, expansion and infrastructure projects, real estate development and business operations. In recent years, however, mid-sized companies have leveraged syndicated loans to gain access to more capital and to simplify the documentation process of applying for multiple loans. As a result, syndicated loans have developed into a sound financing vehicle for a wide range of mid-sized businesses.

Loan syndications are often driven by the lead bank’s capital considerations. For example, if the lead bank would exceed an exposure limit if it financed the whole loan, it would likely look to form a syndicate. For those lenders who join the syndicate, the primary motivation is often to achieve greater diversification in their loan portfolio and to develop a relationship with the borrower.

Syndication is also part of the borrower’s financing strategy, as it offers access to multiple banks, which helps them build new relationships and can make it easier and more cost-effective to raise money.

When securing a syndicated loan, borrowers enter into a single credit agreement with the syndicate but have contractual obligations to all lenders. Borrowers interact with the syndicate primarily through the lead bank, often referred to as the administrative agent, or just agent. The agent acts on behalf of the syndicate.

BENEFITS For borrowers, syndicated loans have a number of benefits. In addition to providing your organization with access to more capital, it can help you improve the financial health of your company by rationalizing your balance sheet, securing financing at better rates with lower administrative costs, obtaining more flexible credit terms and improving liquidity. A syndicated loan can also help bring efficiency to your treasury and accounting departments, as you can reduce the time spent negotiating multiple loans and decrease administration.

The advantage for lenders are also numerous and include sharing the risk of

the loan across the syndicate, participation in the transaction at a desired level, new client acquisition and confidence that lenders’ interests are being protected.

WORKING WITH THE LENDERS While your loan will involve multiple lenders, your organization will benefit by working primarily with the agent bank. Your agent is responsible for working with you to structure, market and document the loan. It will invite other banks to participate in the syndicate. Most agents solicit the borrower’s input regarding which banks to invite. When all documentary conditions are met, the agent will gather funds from participating lenders and disburse funds to the borrower.

Participating lenders often require additional business with the borrower to meet relationship profitability hurdles.

Generally, this is a collaborative process involving the borrower, participating lenders and the agent bank. Be prepared to spend time with the agent and participating banks regarding this issue.

WHAT YOU NEED TO SECURE A SYNDICATED LOAN You will need to provide the lead bank with the same information needed for a single-bank loan. In general, this includes historical financial information, projected financial performance, a business plan and other relevant information on your business.

The agent will take the information you provide and create a confidential information memorandum, or CIM. The CIM succinctly describes your loan request and provides much of the information participating lenders need to approve the loan. Creation of the CIM is generally a collaborative process between the borrower and the agent.

In most cases, the agent bank and borrower will host a bank group meeting.

Its purpose is to efficiently communicate important information to participating lenders and to give them an opportunity to meet the borrower’s management team.

At the bank group meeting, the agent will outline the details of the loan request and management will discuss the business.

If you have more questions regarding syndicated loans, talk with your bank. In general, if you need more capital than your lender can finance on its own, a syndicated loan may be the right solution for you.

STERLING BANCORP BUYS ASTORIA FINANCIAL FOR $2.2 BILLION

BANK CARD DEFAULTS HIGHEST IN 3 1/2 YEARS

Sterling Bancorp will buy LongIsland Astoria Financial Corp. for $2.2 billion, creating the sixth largest regional bank in the New York City metropolitan region by deposits. Jack L. Kopnisky Sterling, which is based in Montebello in Rockland County, announced the merger on March 7. The merger will create a regional bank with a footprint in New York City, the Hudson Valley, Long Island and northern New Jersey.

“By joining forces, Astoria and Sterling will create one of the leading banking enterprises in the NYC metropolitan area and will be well positioned to deliver performance and value for our customers, shareholders, employees and communities,” said Jack L. Kopnisky, president and CEO of Sterling.

The merger agreement is a stock-forstock transaction. Astoria’s shareholders will receive 0.875 Sterling shares for each share held. The purchase price creates an 18.6 percent premium for Astoria shareholders.

Following the merger, Sterling Bancorp will be led by Kopnisky and have approximately $29 billion in assets, $20 billion in loans and $19 billion in deposits, according to Sterling.

The transaction has been approved by the boards of both companies, but still needs approval from each company’s stockholders, as well as regulatory approval. It is expected to close in the fourth quarter of this year, according to the announcement from Sterling. The companies said following the merger the new entity will be able to offer a “diversified commercial lending focus, solid capital foundation and broad footprint in a dynamic and growing marketplace.”

Sterling has Westchester locations in Mount Kisco, Elmsford, White Plains, Port Chester, Mamaroneck and Yonkers.

Default rates on bank credit cards reached 3.21 percent in January, the highest level since July 2013 and a rise of 26 basis points from December, according to the S&P/ Experian Consumer Credit Default Indices.

The composite rate for mortgage, auto loan and bank card defaults was 0.92 percent in January, up three basis points from the previous month. Auto loan defaults rose three basis points to 1.06 percent for

the month, while mortgage defaults were up one basis point at 0.72 percent, according to the S&P/Experian report.

Among five major metropolitan areas measured in the report, New York had the third highest composite default rate, behind Miami and Chicago, at 0.88 percent in January, up one point from December, but a drop of 16 basis points from January 2016.

Miami, with a 1.67 percent composite default rate in January, was up 14 basis points from December, the largest

increase among the five major cities.

“Current default levels do not present any immediate concerns for the economy,” said David M. Blitzer, managing director and chairman of the Index Committee at SD&P Dow Jones Indices.

“During 2004-2006, a period of strong retail sales and consumer spending, bank card defaults were higher than today. …

The weak spot, if there is one, would come with a rise in unemployment and an economic downturn.”

WCC RECEIVES $1M GRANT Westchester Community College (WCC) has received a $1 million grant from the Laura and John Arnold Foundation as a result of the foundation’s 2016 Moving the Needle Competition, which provides funding for state and local governments and nonprofit organizations to implement and scale highly effective, evidence-based programs that “move the needle” on pressing social problems.

WCC sought funding to replicate aspects of the City University of New York’s celebrated Accelerated Study in Associate Programs (ASAP).

The college was one of three institutions invited to apply for support. There were a total of 34 submitted proposals. A separate grant, also funded by the Laura and John Arnold Foundation, will support an

FOX AND STARR TO BE HONORED BY JUNIOR LEAGUE evaluation of the new program to help inform others about how it improves outcomes for students.

Belinda Miles, president of WCC, said the grant will “accelerate our momentum toward improving educational and career pathways for students. This is an opportunity to extend these types of reform within different university systems.”

Nearly half of all U.S. undergraduates attend community colleges, but only 21.8 percent nationally graduate within three years, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. The ASAP program was designed to provide comprehensive financial, academic and student support services to increase the percentage of full-time community college students who complete the associate degree within three years.

The Junior League of Central Westchester (JLCW) has set the date for its 70th anniversary celebration. “Big Night Out: 70 BIG Years” will be held on Saturday, April 29 at Sunningdale Country Club in Scarsdale. The evening will include a cocktail hour, dinner, music, dancing and silent auction.

Susan Fox, president and CEO of White Plains Hospital, and Janice Starr, a past president of JLCW, will be honored.

Fox will be recognized for her contributions to the Westchester community and because of the example that she sets as a woman leading a major nonprofit in Central Westchester. JLCW views Fox’s appointment as one of the first women to lead an acute care hospital in the context of its mission of developing the potential of women. The organization also believes her efforts to extend access to health care into the community resonate with the league’s focus on improving the lives of neighbors in need.

Janice Starr, who served as JLCW president during 1998-99, will be recognized for her dedication to realizing the mission of the JLCW and for her leadership in the community. The Scarsdale resident is co-president of the Fox Meadow Neighborhood Association, first vice president of the League of Women Voters, an executive board member of Steve’s Camp at Horizon Farms and a board member of Scarsdale-Edgemont Family Counseling Service.

Funds raised by the event will help fund JLCW’s educational and charitable projects.

GOOD THINGS HAPPENING HAWTHORNE COMPANY TO RECEIVE ARC AWARD Arc of Westchester has revealed that Digital Eye Lab (DEL), a division of ABB Optical Group, will receive its New Business Partner Award during Arc’s Annual Employer Breakfast on April 26.

DEL fabricates lenses and eyewear for optometrists across the country. The lab’s recently expanded facility in Hawthorne has multiple fabrication lines, an anti-reflective coating lab and an extensive lens finishing center. The lab’s team members hired through Arc each play an integral role in the manufacturing of spectacle lenses, spanning the process from surfacing to coating to lens cleaning.

Arc of Westchester has been connecting people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, as well as those with autism spectrum disorder, to the Westchester employment community since 1949. DEL has four employees who were recruited through Arc of Westchester and regu-

larly partners with the organization to promote a diverse workplace.

“We are fortunate to have such a strong foundation of supporters, which made the task of selecting award winners a difficult one,” said Shari Lewitt, director of career development and support services for Arc. “This award recognizes the contribution that DEL has made to further employment opportunities for residents of our community with autism and other development disabilities.”

Scott Pearl, managing director of DEL, said, “We cherish the profound impact these employees have on their co-workers, and recognize the tremendous value that they bring to our organization.”

The breakfast will take place at the Westchester Marriott in Tarrytown. More information at ArcWestchester.org.

BOOKKEEPING SERVICE MOVES R&D Legal Bookkeeping, formerly in the village of Warwick and later in Chester, has relocated to 311 Route 94 South in Warwick. The company provides bookkeeping, payroll and QuickBooks services and training throughout Orange, Rockland and Bergen.

Owner Rochelle DeJong hosted staff, guests and chamber of commerce members at a reopen-

NYMC PANEL LOOKS AT PATENTS

ing event. She has more than 30 years of bookkeeping experience.

DeJong noted that unlike large payroll companies which often hold a company’s money for up to 30 days, “…our clients’ payroll tax payments are made directly from their bank account to the federal or state entities so their money earns interest until the day the tax is due.”

Industries in the Hudson Valley will be among those looking to Congress in 2017 to protect their intellectual property rights to their inventions, technologies and advances in medicine that make them successful job-creators. That was a key takeaway from a panel discussion held at BioInc at New York Medical College in Valhalla.

Moderated by Randi Schwartz, director of BioInc@ NYMC, the panel featured Larry Gottlieb, president and CEO of the Hudson Valley Economic Development Corp.; Amy Klann, counsel, Leason Ellis; Marc Zemel, managing director of MKM Ventures, CEO and co-founder of MOE Medical Devices, and Retia Medical; Josephine Young of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton &

Garrison LLP; and Brian Pomper, executive director of the Innovation Alliance. Nathan Tinker, executive director of NewYorkBIO, was a guest speaker.

Pomper said, “Knowing the regulatory policies in place, the patent system to protect our work, the latest in academia and research, how to connect with investors — innovators take an idea and create so much more.”

Zemel said, “Our elected officials must hold the highest priority in protecting the small inventors, like me, who contribute to the American economy. This includes voting against legislation that weakens our patent system — for without the patent system, I wouldn’t be here today.”

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

DATES

ANIMAL IMAGES ROAR INTO GALLERY

Paintings copyrighted by Mary Belliveau

Duck Pond Gallery in the Esopus Library, 128 Canal St., Port Ewen, will exhibit acrylic and watercolor paintings by Mary Belliveau April 7-29.

Although many of her paintings depict people, she also has chosen to create images of a wide variety of wild and exotic animals. The subject and effect

The award honored Flower’s work on a Whippoorwill Road home in Rye Brook. The home sold within a few days after Flower staged it. Flower received the award at an IAHSP conference in Fort Lauderdale. Among those attending was Jeff Lewis, star of the television series “Flipping Out,” which is in its ninth season on the Bravo network.

EVENTS BENEFIT MARIA FARERI CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL

Former Maria Fareri patients and cadets at West Point’s Cullum Hall.

National Pancake Day on March 7 wasn’t just to promote pancakes. Its real purpose was to raise awareness and funds for Children’s Miracle Network (CMN) hospitals around the country.

In an event designed to create local flapjack consciousness, 10 students from Lakeland High School’s AP chemistry class faced off in a “Flip For Kids” pancake-flipping contest to help raise money for Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital in Valhalla, which is a CMN participant. Maria Fareri is a member of the Westchester Medical Center Health Network. The pancake-flipping contest took place at the IHOP restaurant in Mohegan Lake.

Nationwide, the IHOP chain offered each customer one free short stack of its buttermilk pancakes as a promotion to raise awareness and funds for CMN. IHOP said it had planned to give away about 5,000,000 pancakes on National Pancake Day. A preliminary tally showed that the Mohegan Lake IHOP raised more

than $18,000 in donations for the children’s hospital.

There was a very different sort of event at the United States Military Academy at West Point, again benefiting Maria Fareri. It was a six-hour dance marathon, which raised $20,217 for the hospital. Hundreds of cadets joined with children who have battled significant medical challenges at the hospital for the event. The cadets at West Point were the first from a U.S. service academy to host a dance marathon to raise funds for a CMN hospital.

The event gave the cadets a chance to bond with the former children’s hospital patients through games, structured activities, fundraising efforts and hours of dancing.

Developers to Westchester: Invest in infrastructure, culture

BY ALEESIA FORNI aforni@westfairinc.com

S

ound infrastructure, connectivity and culture. Those are just a few of the investments Westchester’s cities can make to become “goto” communities in the region, according to area developers.

“We want to do business in towns and cities that want us to be there. And they want to see their town or their city grow and develop kind of like a Brooklyn or a Hoboken,” said Anthony Vulpi, vice president of development for Mill Creek Residential Northeast Division, which is in the midst of constructing Modera Hudson Riverfront, a 324-unit apartment complex in Yonkers.

“Yonkers definitely fit that bill,” he said.

The 572,500-square-foot residential community at 20 Water Grant St. on the Yonkers waterfront will feature studio, one- and twobedroom apartments and more than 15,000 square feet of amenity space. The development will also feature a rooftop deck, pool and courtyards. Vulpi said the first rental units will be available by early 2018.

Formerly known as Palisades Point on the Hudson River, the property was previously slated for redevelopment as part of the city’s public-private partnership with master developer Struever Fidelco Cappelli L.L.C. In 2013, the Yonkers City Council approved amendments to SFC’s leases at Palisades Point to allow SFC’s only remaining partner in Yonkers, New Jersey-based Fidelco Realty Group, to proceed with development plans on the waterfront site.

Mill Creek Residential bought the leasehold interest from Fidelco and started construction on the property in 2016.

“What drew us to Yonkers is pretty selfexplanatory,” Vulpi said. “You’ve got a great little downtown area, good restaurants, it’s culturally diverse. It’s got the train station two blocks from our site and on top of that, we’re right on the waterfront, so it was really a perfect combination of things.”

Dallas-based Mill Creek Residential has more than 20,000 apartment homes nationwide, including complexes in Morristown and Jersey City in New Jersey and Mineola on Long Island. Though Mill Creek Residential has not submitted any plans for other projects in Westchester, Vulpi said the company is keeping an eye on the county’s growing market.

“We’d love to expand in Yonkers, New Rochelle, White Plains,” Vulpi said. “They’re all definitely on our list.”

Vulpi is not alone in his optimism

regarding the Westchester marketplace.

He was one of four panelists included in The Business Council of Westchester’s “Reimagining Our Downtowns: The Residential Model” event. Held at Tappan Hill in Tarrytown on March 7, the discussion focused on the transforming urban landscape of Westchester’s cities and the boom in the residential market.

In Yonkers, more than 5,000 residential units have been approved or are under development, and there are 4,000 multifamily residential units either under construction or in the pipeline in White Plains. New Rochelle has 1,000 apartments approved or under construction and another 2,000 in the planning stages. More than 8,000 units are making their way through the planning and development stages in Mount Vernon.

“The way people live, work and play has changed over the last couple decades,” said Seth Pinsky, executive vice president of Long Island-based RXR Realty, which broke ground on a $120 million, 28-story mixeduse building in downtown New Rochelle in November. “There’s an increase in the desirability for walkable, diverse neighborhoods with character and transit connectivity.”

Pinsky said this shift presented suburban areas with a challenge in retaining their population base, forcing Westchester’s cities to change the way they view residential construction.

“Today there’s a willingness in the suburbs to look at a different type of development than perhaps people were willing to explore in the past,” Pinsky said.

Martin Berger, managing principal of Saber Real Estate Advisors in Armonk, cited lower interest rates as another reason for

the increase in residential development in Westchester.

“Banks have rushed to fill the residential developers' pockets,” said Berger, whose firm plans to develop The Collection in White Plains, a mixed-use project on the former Key Ford site on Westchester Avenue. “It’s a question of how long it will last.”

Panelist Joseph Apicella, managing director of Pelham-based MacQuesten Development LLC, which is nearing completion of an 11-story, 81-unit affordable housing complex The Modern in Mount Vernon, added that by funding infrastructure improvements, municipalities can “create an environment for local and regional developers to want to come into a community.”

Vulpi cited the daylighting of the Saw Mill River as a “crucial” element to the revitalization of downtown Yonkers and his company’s ultimate decision to develop in the city.

“That’s what we want to see as developers, so when we come in, our residents are going to have those kind of things at their disposal,” he said.

Pinsky, whose RXR Realty is also developing Larkin Plaza, a $190 million mixeduse project in downtown Yonkers, echoed Vulpi’s sentiments.

“Without a doubt, the investments that Yonkers made in their downtown, not just with the daylighting, but with the board of education and library building, with their renovations they made in the trails along the waterfront, absolutely were a draw to us,” he said.

Panelists agreed that for a downtown to be successful, cities need to offer their

residents a unique experience.

“No one is going to move into a Westchester city only for an apartment unit.

They want culture, and they want it at their doorstep,” Berger said.

Pinsky said these large-scale development projects should offer hope to Westchester County.

“The fact that there are so many interesting cities where so much is happening here is really positive for the future,” he said.

“Not just for the population of Westchester, but for the economy of Westchester as well.”

While many developers realize the importance of attracting the millennial and empty nester demographics, panelists also noted another demographic populating these large residential complexes: the recently divorced.

“They’re looking for a new life, but they want to stay close to the kids and stay close to their community,” Pinsky said.

While developers are keeping an eye on the sharp uptick in residential units the market has seen in recent years, panelists said they were not overly concerned with overcrowding the market.

“I think anyone who says it’s a slam dunk is underestimating the market,” Pinsky said. “But Westchester needs these units. There is an enormous amount of pent-up demand.”

Still, Pinsky said that he foresees opportunities for the construction of for-sale condominiums in Westchester’s downtowns in the future.

“There’s no reason to believe that as these downtowns become more desirable, that people will want to not only rent there, but also to own and really put down roots in these communities,” he said Other developers are not so certain.

“We built a lot of for-sale condominiums,” said Apicella, a former longtime executive at Cappelli Enterprises, “and then there was 2008, and people like us were like, ‘What do we do now? How are we going to pay common charges on all those unsold condos that are sitting there?’” The recession had an impact on both the capital markets and developers, he said. “The costs are very, very high and people are not willing to pay that price, that premium necessarily, yet. The profit is just not there.”

“I think the word ‘traumatized’ says it best,” said Berger, who estimated his firm had around 2,000 residential units for sale at the time of the market crash. “There’s an 88-degree golf wedge in the corner of my office and anyone has permission to plant it in me if I propose condominium development.”
