he tumultuous global impacts of the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak continued to impact Westchester County as more residents became sickened, a containment zone was imposed in part of New Rochelle, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said he’d send in the National Guard, businesses took steps to cope and Wall Street continued its roller

coaster ride fueled by COVID and a collapse in oil prices. The World Health Organization (WHO) on March 11 declared that the outbreak is, indeed, a pandemic. “This is the first pandemic caused by a coronavirus,” said the WHO’s Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. “We cannot say this loudly enough, or clearly enough, or often enough. All countries can still change the course of this pandemic.”

On March 11, the disease had spread to 120 countries with 121,487 cases reported and 4,382 deaths. In the U.S., there were 1,016 cases and 31 deaths. On March 11, Gov. Cuomo announced that the number of COVID-19 cases in Westchester had reached 121. There were 212 total cases in New York state, with 48 in New York City, 6 in Rockland, 28 in Nassau, 2 in Saratoga, 6 in Suffolk and one in Ulster. Cuomo noted that the » CORONAVIRUS

very long relationship with the business community here in Westchester,” he told the Business Journal. “We ran a vibrant family business here for decades. We have been a part of the cultural firmament, sitting on numerous boards of colleges, universities, nonprofits and hospitals. This is really a continuation of that work. It’s an opportunity for me to serve not only the business community, but also the broader community at large.” Romita, a resident of » ROMITA

Romita —

Harrison, assumes the role formerly filled by William P. Mooney Jr., who recently retired after 15 years on the job. Romita’s grandfather was an Italian immigrant who came to the U.S. as a teenager with no money and no education. What he lacked in those areas he more than made up for in energy and perseverance, starting a company that distributed coal and grew to handle oil and natural gas and services for commercial and residential buildings. The business, Castle Oil Corporation, owned the Port Morris terminal, the largest deep-water petroleum products terminal in New York City. In 2014, Castle Oil Corporation’s assets were purchased by Sprague Resources LP for more than $56 million. Romita formerly was executive vice president of Castle Oil. His resume includes serving as a partner in the Washington, D.C.-based federal government affairs and public policy consulting firm Mercury Strategies LLC, whose clients include AT&T, T-Mobile, the National Association of Theater Owners and Verizon Communications. Romita received a bachelor’s degree from Tufts University, a law degree from the University of Michigan Law School and Master of Laws degree from The London School of Economics. Romita has been active with local charitable and civic organizations, including the Westchester County Parks, Recreation and Conservation Board and MINT, a mental health foundation. “If you look at the economic drivers that create a powerful and strong and vibrant business community, you talk about housing issues, you talk about tax issues, you talk about real estate issues, you talk about jobs and linking employment opportunities with business,” Romita said. “If you solve those factors you improve the economy not only for business but also for workers and residents.” Romita said he expects to continue WCA’s push to encourage the build-out of ultra-high-speed internet service in the county. “There are pockets of the economy in Westchester and elsewhere where people simply don’t have access to ultra-high-speed internet and that puts them at a competitive disadvantage not only for business but also for educational purposes,” he said. “We have focused on that and I see us continuing to focus on that but maybe taking a refreshed view of how we approach that.”

He said the WCA needs to partner with the county government on the issue since promoting gigabit internet is part of its initiatives for economic development. Another issue the county and WCA have in their sights is the future of the Westchester County Airport. “Having an airport is very important to the local economy,” Romita said. “I understand there are stresses that the airport can place on the surrounding community. The Westchester County Association has been agnostic as to whether or not the airport becomes privatized. We think that it’s not absolutely necessary that it be run by a private organization and even if it is that the county government and the county Legislature should still maintain a direct control over how the airport is run and how it is used in the future.” Romita said transportation and the condition of roads and bridges

are important to the WCA. “Our proximity to New York is incredibly important, so having not only an airport that functions well but also the rail system and within the county itself the bus system, all of these transportation issues really improve the economy and well-position Westchester to be a leader,” Romita told the Business Journal. While this is an election year and the WCA will continue its efforts to sway politicians, Romita doesn’t expect to become involved in partisan politics. “We try not to play in the political mud. We don’t see how that’s necessarily constructive. However, maintaining very good relationships with local politicians and state politicians helps get our message out and helps us achieve the goals that we really need to achieve,” he said. “The most important thing is to maintain a good reputation. We’re not

always going to come out on the same side as some of the politicians in some of the positions that we have to take but we’ll always be respectful.” Romita said an important goal for him will be to expand WCA’s membership and provide more opportunities for members to engage with the association and have more impact on the decisions made by the organization. He also expects to spend a considerable amount of time on advocacy work in Albany, at the County Office Building and with various municipalities. “Advocacy means not just being for or against a particular piece of legislation,” Romita said. “It means taking a collaborative approach, reaching out to multiple stakeholders and really trying to find the best solutions that can help the entire community and not just one organization or one pocket of interest.”

Coronavirus Crisis Cuomo asks businesses to allow telecommuting to contain COVID-19 as New York to take action. Cuomo also blasted the Trump administration for making contradictory statements about testing. “President of the United States says, ‘Anyone who wants a test can have a test.’ Vice President of the United States says, ‘We don’t have the testing capacity.’ People say, how can you say both things? You can’t say both things. We don’t have the testing capacity that we need. Not everyone who wants a test can have a test. We have to prioritize the people who get the tests to fit our capacity, right? You can’t ask more people to come in and get tested until you know you have the capacity to test them,” Cuomo said.

n a move that added visual impact to his previous call for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to allow automated testing at private labs and take other steps to increase the ability to identify people with COVID-19 coronavirus, New York Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo visited the 150,000-square-foot, $60 million laboratory operated by Northwell Health in Lake Success. During the visit, Cuomo appealed to businesses to let employees work from home to contain the coronavirus. Northwell Health provides services on Long Island and in New York City, as well as in the Hudson Valley, which includes Phelps Hospital in Sleepy Hollow and numerous Northwell Health Physician Partners offices. Cuomo and state Health Commissioner Howard Zucker were given a tour of the facility by Northwell’s CEO Michael Dowling and Dwayne Breining, the executive director of Northwell Labs. The lab has automated equipment for testing, can quickly install more and is projected to be able to process 1,000 COVID-19 tests a day. Cuomo described the lab as the most sophisticated one in New York and one of the most sophisticated in the country. Shortly after Cuomo’s visit, the federal government approved manual testing by the lab. The next day, automated testing was approved. During a news conference after the tour, Cuomo said he has been speaking with business leaders across the state and said that the private sector has a role in trying to contain the spread of the virus. “I’ve been saying to business leaders, first, have a liberal sick-leave policy for your employees. If somebody is sick, stay home. If you feel symptoms, stay home. And I’d like the companies to communicate that to their employees that they will pay them liberal sick leave policy to stay home. To the extent private sector companies can, stagger their workers,” Cuomo said. “To the extent the private sector company can, say, ‘Stay at home, nonessential workers. Work from home.’ More and more this is a digital economy. To the extent workers can work at home, let them work at home. We want to reduce the density.” The next day, back in Albany, Cuomo proposed legislation to require all companies in New York to offer paid sick leave to employees. Cuomo took the opportunity to again slam the federal government for being slow to react and restricting the ability of states such

Peekskill works on its image with the public and developers

BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

eekskill is a city on the move, seeking to maintain a balance between a small-town feel and the urbanization that can come from development, while being unafraid to openly address serious incidents such as the arrest of a police officer, according to what the Business Journal was told during a session with the city's mayor, city manager and economic development specialist. Peekskill police officer Michael Agovino was arrested on Feb. 15 after a woman accused him of demanding sexual favors while in uniform and investigating allegations against her involving larceny. He was charged with sexual abuse, stalking and burglary. He appeared in Peekskill City Court on Feb. 18 and pleaded not guilty. He was released on $100,000 bond. He was placed on administrative leave from the police department. Mayor Andre Rainey and Police Chief Donald Halmy addressed the Peekskill Common Council that night and pledged diligence and transparency in addition to cooperation with the district attorney's office.

“Allegations such as these tend to destroy such respect and trust of our officers in blue. Please understand we are investigating this matter to our fullest ability.” Halmy said in his statement. Rainey told the Business Journal, “The idea is to show people how we handle these issues, how we overcome these challenges, what steps do we take. You can't prevent everything negative from happening but what you can show people is how you respond. Once it's resolved and settled it brings us back to where we're supposed to be.” A message Rainey has been working to get out about Peekskill is that it's a city open for business and its school district is improving. “We work with our developers,” Rainey said. Much of the direct work with developers now falls to Andrew Stewart, who succeeded Richard Leins as city manager in January. Stewart served three terms from 2012 to 2017 as the town supervisor of the town of Orangetown in Rockland County. Among the projects he tackled there was the redevelopment of the vacant Rockland Psychiatric Center into a new JPMorgan

Chase data center. Stewart told the Business Journal that Peekskill is well-situated on the Metro-North Hudson Line about an hour out of Grand Central Terminal, has Hudson River waterfront and good road access. “Being commutable to New York City but being a small town with very easy access to the mid-Hudson Valley with all the amenities, the outdoor recreation, wineries and breweries, and then when you add the ame-

nities right here in the city — you've got the Paramount Theater, you've got an amazing waterfront park, you've got a lot of great restaurants, a lot of cultural diversity — that adds to the attractiveness,” Stewart said. Peekskill has been attracting some new development, though not of the scale seen in other Westchester cities such as White Plains and New Rochelle where projects containing 24 or more stories with hundreds of residential units are increasingly common.

Ginsburg Development Companies' Fort Hill Apartments in Peekskill is a $64.5 million project containing 178 residential units, a 42-room inn with a spa, event hall and restaurant with outdoor dining offering a view of the Hudson. A mixed-use project at 1 Park Place is scheduled for completion later this year with 181 residential units and street-level retail. A two-building project, the Magnolia Heights Apartments at 653 Central Ave. and 582 South St., was proposed in January. It would have 167 apartments, 3,500 square feet of retail and 206 parking spaces. “It's not a free-for-all. It's not the Wild West. Project developers and investors will come in and work with the city within the vision of our community and not try to impose something foreign on it,” Stewart said. Matt Rudikoff, the city's economic development specialist, draws upon 22 years of experience as head of a planning and environment consulting firm, Matthew D. Rudikoff Associates. He said the city's selection for a $10 million state grant as part of the Downtown Redevelopment Initiative (DRI) program will have benefits not only

Rainey said in 2019 the city received $16 million in state grants. In January, it announced new grants from the state of more than $3 million, part of which will help fund reconstruction of the Fleischmann Pier on the waterfront. “We have entertainment on the riverfront now. The Fleischmann Pier is going to enhance that. We anticipate that people will have weddings on ships and get off the ship and walk down to the train station and maybe just make it to the downtown,” Rainey said. When the DRI grant was originally announced, a suggestion was made that the pier could be developed into a facility capable of handling Hudson River tour boats, thus making the city a destination via river and opening up a new tourism industry. Stewart believes when the 2020 census is complete it will show Peekskill's population has topped 25,000. The 2010 census showed the population as 23,583. The census showed it had 9,709 housing units. A 2012 survey reported by the U.S. Census Bureau showed the city had 2,172 companies.

You have big plans for your business. At Country Bank, we understand access to affordable credit may be one of the biggest challenges you have to achieve those dreams. in the funding of projects for the downtown but also in shaping the city's image as a place developers and business operators will want to be. “In the world of economic development and in the world of grantsmanship what happens is once you start getting grants and you start implementing them successfully, more and more grants start coming because the agencies want to see their prior investments come together and fill the gaps of what needs to be done,” Rudikoff said. He predicted Peekskill will be a place where “you're going to be able to see the effect of public-sector investment in communities.” A planning process has been underway to determine which projects the DRI grant will be used to fund. Speculation is that the Paramount Theater, the city's waterfront, an art center project and streetscape and parking projects are likely to receive funding.

Coronavirus Crisis 1

Coronavirus—

Westchester cases appear largely to link back in one way or another to a 50-year-old attorney who attended events at temple Young Israel of New Rochelle. “New Rochelle at this point is probably the largest cluster in the United States of the cases,” Cuomo said. He said the fact that Westchester with its population of about 1 million had three times the number of cases as did New York City, which has a population of about 8.6 million, is “really, really breathtaking.” Cuomo announced that a circular section of New Rochelle with a one-mile radius encompassing about three square miles was being treated as a containment area where large gatherings of people would be prohibited. The Young Israel of New Rochelle temple is at the center of the circle. The plan called for all buildings capable of hosting crowds to be closed off. These would include schools, churches, synagogues, municipal facilities and other places as determined by state and local officials. Cuomo disclosed that he has deployed National Guard troops to a command post set up in New Rochelle by the state’s health department. The troops would be used to help deliver food to homes as needed and help with cleaning public spaces in the containment area. He said the public would not be restricted from entering or leaving the containment area. The containment area was put into effect on March 12 and was slated to remain active until March 25. “It’s a dramatic action, but it is the largest cluster (of COVID-19) in the country. This is a matter of life and death,” Cuomo said. Cuomo said Northwell Health would be setting up a COVID-19 testing facility in New Rochelle. Yonkers Raceway closed on March 10 after an employee of the Standardbred Owners Association who was based in an office at the facility died of the coronavirus. Employees who worked in the immediate area were asked to self-quarantine.

ECONOMIC IMPACT

While the global business community was struggling to understand COVID’s economic impacts and what might be next to follow the 7.8%, 2,013-point slide in the Dow Jones Industrial Average on March 9, its worst day since 2008, an oil price and production feud between Saudi Arabia and Russia resulted in oil prices tanking and threatened to knock the bottom out from under the U.S. shale oil industry. Businesses of all types, from manufacturers whose supply lines had been cut off by the shutdown of factories in China to local retailers and service businesses serving the area’s residents, were becoming proactive in dealing with the effects of what some, such as cable news network CNN, were already calling a pandemic.

Cases of the virus were reported within the Westchester medical community. Westmed Medical Group reported that a practitioner at its 210 Westchester Ave. facility in White Plains had tested positive for the illness. Also in White Plains, the Maple Medical Group reported that one of its physicians had tested positive, as did his wife and four children. Rabbi Reuven Frank of Young Israel of New Rochelle tested positive for the virus. Rick Cotton, executive director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which controls the area’s major airports, also tested positive. The Scarsdale public schools were closed after a faculty member at the Scarsdale Middle School tested positive. School buildings in Somers, Hastings-onHudson and Mount Vernon were among those closed for deep cleaning. Tuckahoe public schools were closed because they were within the New Rochelle containment area. Columbia, Fordham, Iona and Yeshiva University were among the institutions of higher learning whose class schedules were changed or canceled. On March 11, Gov. Cuomo announced that SUNY and CUNY also will be suspending on-campus classes. St. Patrick’s Day parades in Peekskill, White Plains, Yonkers and other communities were called off. The Westchester Women’s Summit featuring keynote speakers Gretchen Carlson and Susan Rice was postponed to Sept. 10 from March 19. It still is scheduled to take place at The DoubleTree by Hilton in Tarrytown.

ATTENDANCE DECLINE

A Japanese restaurant in Scarsdale had only two tables occupied on a Sunday eve-

ning when it had been full on past Sundays, while a large restaurant in White Plains that is part of a chain was doing a solid weekend lunch business. An observation of light attendance at a multiplex movie theater could have been a reflection of people not wanting to go to a movie because they feared exposure to COVID, or it could have been a result of people not being interested in the pictures being shown or a normal attendance falloff that normally occurs after films already have played for several weeks. Mark Malinowski, vice president of global marketing for National Amusements’ Showcase Cinemas, which operates at City Center in White Plains, Cross County in Yonkers and Ridge Hill in Yonkers among numerous other locations, told the Business Journal that the company has started a program for its staff on COVID-19 prevention and put out additional hand sanitizing stations for use by employees and patrons. “Public surfaces and seats are also being cleaned with antiviral cleaner multiple times a day and staff have been fully briefed and trained on all cleaning procedures,” he said. Cleaning is very much on the mind of 24 Hour Fitness, which was getting ready to open a 37,958-square-foot club in Yorktown Heights as the virus situation was unfolding. Target, which has stores in White Plains, Mount Vernon and Mount Kisco among other places, saw strong demand for so-called stock-up items as consumers added to their inventories of products such as cleaners and paper towels. “We’ve seen aggressive shopping across the country in our stores,” Target’s CEO Brian Cornell said. “We’re working closely with our domestic vendors, with our partners, to make

sure that we’re elevating inventory in preparation for what we think is going to be a continued demand for stock-up items.” Observations at the Whole Foods and Stop & Shop stores in White Plains on a Saturday showed heavier-than-usual store traffic. At Stop & Shop, the only noticeable shortage was for hand sanitizer. A representative of CVS Pharmacy said it will waive charges for home delivery of prescription medications so that people at higher risk from COVID-19 can stay at home as much as possible as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. CVS does not anticipate any shortages of medications.

SUPPLY CHAIN DISRUPTIONS

Christopher Graham, an attorney with Eckert Seamans in White Plains, told the Business Journal that some of his clients rely on supplies from China. “An awful lot of clothing is made in China. I believe nearly 80% or 85% of all the toys made in the world are made in China,” he said. “To the extent that they’re not operating or only operating at 30%, 40% or 50% it’s hurting retailers and wholesalers who can’t get product to sell and they’ve got infrastructure built up to sell a lot of product that they’re running out of and it’s not arriving.” Graham pointed out that cruise operators, air carriers and other travel-related businesses have been seriously hurt. The International Air Transport Association said airline revenue losses could hit $113 billion. John Ravitz, executive vice president and CEO of The Business Council of Westchester (BCW), said it has postponed a number of events that had been scheduled either in its headquarters at 800 Westchester Ave. in Rye

Coronavirus Crisis Brook or at hotels. “We also were notified by our building management that there had been a tenant who had tested positive for the virus and the building is obviously going to take all the safety precautions,” Ravitz told the Business Journal. “We had to alert everybody who had attended meetings in our building … that we had gotten this information from the building management.” 800 Westchester Ave. is owned by Robert Weisz’s RPW Group. Ravitz said many BCW members have been making efforts to communicate with their customers about how they’re dealing with the virus situation. “Westchester County … is at the center of a lot of what’s happening in New York state with the number of cases that have been diagnosed,” Ravitz said. “Businesses in Westchester County have to be very proactive knowing the situation.”

BRONXVILLE EVENT

There was an example of proactivity in Bronxville on the morning of March 10 when County Legislator Ruth Walter, Bronxville Chamber of Commerce President Leah Caro, Bronxville Mayor Mary Marvin, Westchester County Executive George Latimer and Deputy County Executive Ken Jenkins got together at Park Place Bagels 2, located at 52 Palmer Ave. They held a news conference to promote local businesses and later enjoyed bagels and coffee without being at all concerned about the crowd of regular customers in the store. The bagel store is across the street from NewYorkPresbyterian Lawrence Hospital, which is where the 50-year-old attorney, who was the first Westchester case of COVID-19, initially had been hospitalized. “The fear of the virus has spread much faster than the virus itself,” Latimer said. “That fear has caused some number of people to feel that they don’t want to go out as they might normally to shop and to dine so I do think there’s been some loss of business by our business community and one of the reasons why we’re here today is to remind people that there isn’t anything to fear and they should feel comfortable coming out.” Latimer said the county made a decision to postpone five events where there would be large clusters of people. “We did not stop the opening of our golf courses ... because when people play golf they don’t cluster in a large group of people,” Latimer said. “We did not shut down our nature centers. You try to make decisions proportionate to what you think the potential risk is.” Caro said she has not noticed a drop in local business activity and there’s been no dramatic surge in the number of vacant parking spaces around Bronxville. “I came through Bronxville Saturday night on foot and every restaurant really seemed to be at capacity the way they are on every other weekend,” Caro told the Business

Journal. “I think it’s really going to come down to individuals feeling comfortable or not getting out there.” Caro owns a real estate company in Bronxville, Park Sterling Realty. “We are having a lot of conversations in my shop about public interactions we have, like at public open houses,” she said. She noted that at one open house that took place as the number of COVID cases continued to climb, they had 26 sets of people. “People are still going out and real estate is a big part of commerce,” she said.

esidents have been moving in to their new condominiums at WatermarkPointe in New Rochelle, even as construction continues at the 14.7acre gated community on the site of the former Beckwith Pointe beach club. “We are under construction on buildings six through nine,” Jerry Bermingham, executive vice president of development and acquisitions at developer National Realty & Development Corp. (NRDC), said during the Business Journal's recent site visit. “Buildings one through five are completed and completely sold out and we've been lucky enough to have strong demand.” The project will have 72 units and Bermingham said only 10 were still available. Units that were listed on a Hudson Valley real estate website included two 2,717-squarefoot units with three bedrooms, three full

baths and a half bath. One was priced at $1,830,000 and the other was priced at $2,280,000. “The waterfront is the key feature in every facet here,” Bermingham said. “Not only do we have the three sides of water and the beach that you can utilize, but a pool and a clubhouse. People can walk along the waterfront but then also dig their toes into the sand, relax and listen to the seagulls and watch the water shining from the sunshine.” New Rochelle, which has had a host of projects approved for its downtown, has been starting to focus on its waterfront. A mixeduse commercial and residential building with 25,000 square feet of commercial space and 285 residential units was proposed for a site on the Echo Bay waterfront and East Main Street. Pratt Landing at 224 E. Main St. would have about 450 housing units, 100,000 square feet of retail and 100 to 200 hotel rooms along with a waterfront esplanade and three acres of open space.

Bermingham said WatermarkPointe has been proving attractive for empty nesters who have sold their large suburban homes and are looking to downsize into residences with new recreational opportunities and fewer maintenance responsibilities. Buyers also include people looking for a change from the hectic lifestyle of Manhattan. “It's appealing to people coming out of the city who are used to paying exorbitant prices for upscale luxury living there and they're comfortable with the amount of space, these units being 2,700 square feet and 2,400 square feet, two and three bedrooms with a large great room,” Bermingham said. “For an empty nester, coming down to this much square footage is good but for someone who's used to, for the same price point, getting 1,000 square feet in the city, they're able to double and triple their size.” Custom kitchens are offered. The units in the elevator buildings feature high ceilings and layouts that eliminate common walls.

The project is pet friendly and has an outdoor heated pool overlooking the beach as well as a fitness center in the community clubhouse. Each unit comes with two assigned indoor parking spaces. NRDC is headquartered in Purchase. The privately owned company has a 50-year track record in commercial real estate ownership and development. It has a portfolio of more than 22 million square feet of shopping centers, business centers and industrial/ flex facilities. The company had considered downtown development in New Rochelle but was quick to focus on the Beckwith Pointe property at the southern tip of Davenport Neck when it became available. “This is a peninsula with three sides of water, private beaches and a gated community 38 minutes from Manhattan, so it kind of sells itself,” Bermingham said. “The architect had a vision and the developer had a vision where we wanted to be certain

been viable under almost all circumstances,” Bermingham said. The WatermarkPointe project had been given a price tag of $100 million when it was going through the city's approval process and Bermingham indicated that the final cost would likely be between $100 million and $130 million. When asked whether NRDC is planning more waterfront development in Westchester, Bermingham said, “We can't speak to anything, it's private right now. However, we look forward to bringing more luxury product and that's the venue we're most comfortable in and best at. So, we hope to and believe we can continue to bring luxury marketplace product to Westchester and the general region.”

In addition to fulfilling requirements under the state environmental review process, the developer took into consideration projected sea level rise, reduced the amount of impervious surfaces and added new stormwater controls.

NRDC originally wanted to build 140 units but scaled back the project during talks with New Rochelle to 72 units in nine four-story buildings plus a clubhouse.

Charles J. Urstadt

CHARLES J. URSTADT, REAL ESTATE EXECUTIVE AND FORMER NY HOUSING COMMISSIONER, DIES AT 91

Charles J. Urstadt, former chairman and director of Greenwich-based real estate investment trust Urstadt Biddle Properties Inc. and a New York state housing commissioner during Gov. Nelson Rockefeller’s administration, died March 3 at the age of 91 following complications related to a recent stroke. The Bronx-born Urstadt graduated from Dartmouth College, Dartmouth’s Tuck School of Business and Cornell Law School. He joined the New York law firm of Nevius, Brett & Kellogg in 1953. The following year he enlisted in the U.S. Navy and served as a lieutenant for two years on the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Bennington. After his naval service, Urstadt served as vice president and counsel of Zeckendorf Property Corp. He became secretary and counsel of Alcoa Residences, a subsidiary of Alcoa Properties, in 1963 and was promoted to vice president in 1965. In 1967, Rockefeller appointed Urstadt as deputy commissioner of the state’s division of housing and community renewal, gaining a promotion to commissioner in 1969. In 1968, Rockefeller named him chairman of the Battery Park City Authority, a state agency focused on developing 92 acres on Manhattan’s southern tip for housing, office space and parks. Urstadt stepped down as the state’s housing commissioner in 1973 to join four partners in the purchase of the real estate firm of Douglas L. Elliman & Co. He remained as chairman of the Battery Park City Authority through 1979, returning in 1996 for a four-year term as vice chairman and a board member. Urstadt would later sell his interest in Elliman, and in 1979 he led an investment group in the purchase of the commercial mortgage firm Pearce, Mayer & Greer Inc. He served as the firm’s CEO until its sale in 1987. In 1989, he became CEO and chairman

of Hubbard Real Estate Investments, which later changed its name to Urstadt Biddle Properties. Urstadt stepped down in 2013 as CEO in favor of Willing L. Biddle, the company’s president and his son-in-law. He retired as chairman in 2019 and was succeeded by his son Charles D. Urstadt, taking on the title of chairman emeritus. Urstadt was an accomplished amateur athlete. In his younger years, he competed for and won multiples titles with the Bronx High School of Science and Dartmouth College swim teams. He returned to the sport later in life, winning the FINA World Masters Championships in the breaststroke for men aged 70 or above, the age-group world title in the 50-meter breaststroke in Munich in 2000 and the age-group world title for the same event in Perth in 2008, setting a still-standing world championship meet record in the Perth event.

Five steps to a productive home office

our home office should be that comfortable space where your productivity and creativity really flow. Are you encouraging positive work, or stifling it with a dingy, uncomfortable workspace? Let’s look at five easy ways you can transform your work life into a positive, nurturing and efficient environment.

LOCATION

The most important step in creating a productive home office environment is to separate it from the rest of your daily home activities. Ideally, there is a spare room in your home for this. You might have a guest room that is only used twice a year, a dining room where you last hosted Thanksgiving three years ago or a basement room that has become the dropping place for all things sports and never-to-be-found-again items. With some cleanup and the addition of a desk and chair these can easily be converted into your new home office. If you don’t have a spare room, set up your desk and chair in an infrequently used area of your home. Even a closet can be converted into a small desk area. The key is to create a dedicated workspace and a clear delineation of home versus work.

FURNITURE

You will need a desk, chair and storage. An ergonomic chair is your most important investment. It should fit your body size and shape. Be sure to sit in a variety of chairs to determine which is most comfortable before purchasing. Buy the best chair that you can afford. My must-haves for a great chair include: • Adjustability. Use the 90-degree joint rule. Make sure you can sit comfortably with your feet on the floor. If they don’t reach get a footstool. When you are seated check that your elbows, knees, hips and feet each make 90-degree angles. • A full back. Your entire back should be supported from the bottom of your bum to the bottom of your neck. • Breathable. The chair should be made of breathable materials and it should not be itchy or abrasive. You might be sitting in it for eight hours. Do you want to sweat or be comfortable? • Movement. A swivel chair preferably on wheels is ideal in an office so you don’t have to get up to reach your files. A standing desk for you? I recommend starting with a sit/stand desk so that you can adapt to this over time.

squint. Harsh fluorescent lighting can cause unwanted stress and fatigue. Ideally, the space you have chosen has a window. The benefits of natural light include a boost in your mood, better sleep, less eyestrain and improved concentration. All of those are factors that increase your productivity. Start with overhead lighting or strategically placed lamps. Then add task lighting preferably in the form of a desk lamp, ideally full spectrum. This will give you the feeling of natural light on those days in winter, which will not only help you see but boost your mood. Good task lighting is not just about the amount of light but the contrast, so carefully consider where to place your task light. You don’t want your light directly above your head where you cast a shadow on your

reading materials. The worst position for your desk is with your back to the window because it will cause additional glare on your computer screen.

ORGANIZATION

Set up your desk so that the most important items are in easy reach. The only things that should be on your desk are your laptop or computer, your current project and a few frequently needed office supplies. This will help minimize distractions. Make sure your desk is cleared of clutter at the end of each evening.

PERSONALIZATION

Have some fun with your furniture and accessories. You’re not stuck in a vanilla cubi-

cle any longer. This is your chance to personalize your space. Add color in your desk accessories and inspirational art. Now you have a home office that is set up for you and supports your well-being and success. Remember to take five minutes at the end of each day to put papers away and to write down today’s wins and tomorrow’s goals. You’ll celebrate your success and set yourself up for another productive day tomorrow. Catherine J.

Coronavirus Crisis Ray Dalio: COVID-19 will create emotional, but not economic, impacts BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com

ridgewater Associates founder and co-chairman Ray Dalio is predicting the outbreak of the novel coronavirus COVID-19 will “come and go” and leave

a “big emotional impact” on the world but “probably will not leave a big sustained economic impact.” In a blog post on his LinkedIn page, Dalio forecasted that containment of the virus “will occur best where there are 1) capable leaders who are able to make executive decisions well and quickly, 2) a

population that follows orders, 3) a capable bureaucracy to enforce and administer the plans, and 4) a capable health system to identify and treat the virus well and quickly.” He insisted the Chinese government will “excel” at this, but the major developed economies will “be less good but OK” and

the less developed nations will be “dangerously worse.” As for the economic impact of COVID-19, Dalio recalled the Spanish influenza pandemic of the late 1910s. “The fact of the matter is that history has shown that even big death tolls have been much bigger emotional affairs than sustained economic and market affairs,” he stated. Dalio has little confidence in central bank rate cuts as a tool for building economic strength against the virus, noting that such actions “won’t lead to any material pickup in buying and activity from people who don’t want to go out and buy, though they can goose risky asset prices a bit at the cost of bringing rates closer to hitting ground zero.” He added that the economic picture in the period immediately before the virus’ appearance in China will play a significant role in any post-virus environment. “The world is now leveraged long with a lot of cash still on the sidelines — i.e., most investors are long equities and other risky assets and the amount of leveraging that has taken place to support these positions has been large because low interest rates relative to expected returns on equities and the need to leverage up low returns to make them larger have led to this,” he continued. “The actions taken to curtail business activities will certainly cut revenues until the virus and business activity reverse, which will lead to a rebound in revenue. That should (but won’t certainly) lead to V- or U-shaped financials for most companies.”

Grand Street buildings in White Plains sell for $42.5M BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

ffice buildings at 140 and 150 Grand St. in White Plains, known as Grand Street Plaza, have been sold. The real estate services and investment firm CBRE represented the seller and procured the buyer. The property sold for $42.5 million, according to CBRE. The seller was an entity owned by a fund managed by Westport Capital Partners LLC. The buyer is a joint venture between Jack Sitt Real Estate LLC and GII LLC. Jack Sitt, the founder and CEO of Jack Sitt Real Estate LLC, is credited with contributing to the acquisition and management of a $2 billion portfolio of more than 20 properties totaling more than 2 million square feet, according to the company. GII (Gulf Islamic Investments) is a financial services company based in the United Arab Emirates. It says it has a track record of managing $2.5 billion in assets, syndicating $5.5 billion in debt and raising $1.3 billion in equity. GII said there were more than 30 tenants in the buildings. It said the properties should generate “attractive” returns for its investors.

140 Grand St. in White Plains.

Mohammed Al-Hassan, co-founder and CEO, said, “GII’s strong performance in 2019 underscore(d) by overseas acquisitions of over $300 million (worth of) assets and recent exceptional exit of investment in Germany worth $150 million, GII continues to aggressively build on its expertise and capitalize on current market momentum.” Al-Hassan said the White Plains proper-

ties attracted greater investor interest than expected and added, “GII has great confidence in the U.S. market given the attractive risk spread, strong liquidity and transparent business environment.” Jeffrey Dunne, Steven Bardsley, Jeremy Neuer, David Gavin, Gene Pride and Stuart MacKenzie of CBRE’s Institutional Properties section were involved in arranging the transaction.

Grand Street Plaza consists of two adjacent Class A office buildings totaling 217,628 square feet. The buildings are 90% occupied, according to CBRE. About 80% of the tenants are law- or government-related. CBRE said the buildings’ cash flow has been stable and there is a weighted average lease term of nearly seven years. The property is close to the Westchester County Courthouse and not far from the County Office Building. In January 2016, the Business Journal reported that Westport Capital Partners, an investment management company in Wilton, Connecticut, acquired the properties from SL Green Realty Corp. and its suburban Reckson division for $32 million. The Business Journal reported that the Reckson Operating Partnership LLC sold 140 Grand St., an approximately 120,000-square-foot property built in 1989, for $22.4 million to the Connecticut investors. Reckson acquired the property in 1998 from Westchester developer Louis Cappelli for $21.2 million. The Business Journal also reported that SL Green Operating Partnership sold 150 Grand St., an approximately 84,000-square-foot property built in 1960, for $9.6 million and that the New York City real estate company paid $6.7 million for the property in 2007.

n mid-January, the startup private equity firm Brand Velocity Partners made its first acquisition with the purchase of Original Footwear Inc., a provider of military and law enforcement footwear. The driving force behind the transaction was Steve Lebowitz, founding and managing partner at Brand Velocity Partners. “We officially launched with the acquisition,” he said. “We had the idea last year and it started because my partners and I felt there was a real gap in the private equity marketplace. I spent my career in lower-middle markets private equity and a lot of private equity firms had very similar value-add strategies. The idea of our firm was to focus the value-add strategy on an area where they really need the help. Finance is not usually what these companies need.” Lebowitz, who has a law degree from Harvard, was a managing partner at Topspin Partners for 16 years before teaming with three other private equity veterans in creating Brand Velocity Partners. He stressed that helping companies via marketing expertise will make Brand Velocity Partners stand out from other private equity firms. “For a business owner that wants a second bite of the apple, that gives them something exciting for partnering with us,” he said. “We can really help you grow by marketing resource.” With Original Footwear, Lebowitz learned about the company through an introduction via mutual connections. “They weren’t in the auction process,” he added, thus giving him an inside track that other private equity firms lacked. “Our value add was appealing to the owners.” Original Footwear was founded in 1999 and is based in Morristown, Tennessee. The company offers footwear products under the Altama, Original S.W.A.T. and Smith & Wesson brands and recently expanded into the consumer footwear market with Urban Assault, a lighter-weight variation on its Altama brand of military boots. “They’re already growing their military and law enforcement channel,” Lebowitz observed. “We want to grow more broadly with consumers — and that does not mean for every consumer, because it may not be for every consumer. But we think there is an opportunity for the authenticity of the brand, having been on the soldiers in every war going back to Vietnam and the footwear of choice for Navy SEALs.” For Lebowitz, Original Footwear met his criteria as a company marked with differentiation from its competitors. “The product has to stand out in some way,” he stressed. “And if their financial plan makes sense, can we add value to it? We want to take that great product, figure out who

the consumers are, and get the message and product to them.” Lebowitz acknowledged that Brand Velocity Partners’ focus is different from other private equity firms that put their primary attention on the financial aspects of growing companies. “There is a tremendous amount of capital that is not differentiated from one another,” he stated. “The whole model of private equity is ripe for change because I think it overrates financial skillsets and underrates other valuable skillsets. If you look at how great companies are built, they are not built on finance — but that’s how the industry is organized. I think that, over time, there will be more expertise in marketing or operational.” However, he admits that marketing could use a bit of a shake-up. “A lot of marketing is about figuring things out and not being dogmatic about a particular way,” he continued. “In our approach, we try different things. We did a bunch of research on the brand — 12,000 people — and tried to understand who would be more sympathetic or less. That was a lot of testing — almost like science. Science is more of a process of inductive reasoning to get to an answer, as opposed to a pre-defined answer we knew in advance. You have to find out not what you think, but what a much bigger group thinks. It’s natural to overestimate one’s prowess.” Brand Velocity Partners has completed a second transaction that has yet to be formally announced. Lebowitz is not setting a quota for the new firm’s transaction activity, insisting that “quality is definitely more important than quantity — it has to be where the deal fits the criteria.” Also on the agenda is a formal headquarters. Lebowitz envisioned a Greenwich office “eventually,” but at the moment he is working from a home office in his Larchmont residence. “I like it — there is no commute time,” he laughed. “If you are working long hours, it is great to shave off an hour in commuting. I work on the third floor. I go upstairs and close the door so nobody bothers me.”

In Court | Bill Heltzel Chappaqua businessman accused of $400K tax evasion

A Chappaqua businessman allegedly used $1.5 million from family businesses to underwrite a lavish lifestyle and evade nearly $400,000 in federal income taxes. U.S. Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman accused Antonio Nikc of tax evasion in a court filing March 3 in federal court in White Plains. Nikc “ran these businesses and managed his personal finances in a manner designed to conceal his sources of income and prevent the IRS from calculating or assessing his tax due,” the government claims. The family companies operate large rental buildings in New York and Connecticut, including Southwood Gardens LLC, Waterbury Ridgegate LLC and Nikac Enterprises (using a different spelling of the family’s surname). The businesses are based at the Prospect Towers apartment building in Waterbury, Connecticut. The feds claim that Nikc treated the businesses’ bank accounts as personal accounts to pay for oceanside condominiums in Miami, marina fees for a boat docked in Miami, airline tickets, luxury car payments, college tuition for his children, jewelry, clothing and restaurants. He allegedly failed to file income tax returns for 2010 through 2014 and paid no income taxes for those years. As he was using business funds to pay personal expenses, the government alleges, he concealed income by not maintaining assets in his own name. The government claims he should have paid $395,745 in federal income taxes over the five-year period. Nikc pleaded guilty at his arraignment. Magistrate Judge Lisa M. Smith released him on a $100,000 personal recognizance bond and ordered him to continue with mental health treatment as a condition of release. Nikc’s attorney, David A. Ring of New Haven, Connecticut, declined to discuss the case. In 1996, Nikc was involved in an Albanian

LE G A L

blood feud. Nikc witnessed his pregnant wife, Rigaletta Nikc, 31, and his father, Marc Nikac, 58, killed by Nikc’s cousin, Gjelosh Rukaj, in the driveway of the family’s Chappaqua home. Rigaletta Nikc and Rukaj had been lovers, according to news accounts, and in 1991 she gave birth to their daughter. They agreed to keep the child’s paternity a secret, but in 1996 Rukaj filed a paternity suit. Antonio, who was in the driveway during the shooting, managed to get inside the house unscathed. Rukaj was shot in the chest and drove himself to the New Castle police station to report the shooting. Rukaj’s lawyer claimed that his client was lured to the home and ambushed because he had filed the paternity suit and dishonored the Nikcs. Rukaj was found guilty of murder in 1998 and sentenced to prison for 20 years to life.

The town of Greenburgh has assessed the property at more than $3.2 million, but Posimato claimed last year that it was worth $831,550 on a petition to lower the assessment filed

in October in Westchester Supreme Court. The bankruptcy papers say nothing about the future of the Flooring & Kitchen Design Center. But federal tax liens filed in 2017 indi-

It was a foregone conclusion last year, when Guy T. Parisi pleaded guilty to mail fraud, that he would lose his law license. A panel of five Second Appellate Court justices has formally disbarred the once-prominent Westchester lawyer and struck his name from the roll of attorneys allowed to practice their profession in New York. Parisi clearly saw the consequences of his actions during his sentencing last May. “My life as a lawyer and

In Court | Bill Heltzel a counselor, which I cherished and worked so hard to maintain for over 47 years, is now gone,” he told U.S. District Judge Kenneth M. Karas. Parisi, of Rye, had served for many years as counsel to the Westchester County Legislature and for the county’s Republican Party. In 2017, Alfred Mallard Jr. hired Parisi to take over as administrator of the estate of his father, who had died in 2000. The previous administrator had embezzled $1.4 million from the estate, and stocks worth about $6 million were being held by the state comptroller as unclaimed funds. Parisi created an asset recovery company and then used his position as estate administrator to hire the company, without informing Mallard, to get the assets back. The scheme enabled him to charge a fee that was far greater than what

he was entitled to as estate administrator. He could have pocketed from $550,000 to $1.5 million, according to court documents, but the comptroller’s office discovered

the deception before Parisi could cash in. His attorneys had recommended no jail time, arguing that the swindle was an “extreme aberration in an otherwise honorable

and law-abiding life.” Parisi was suffering from several serious diseases, including prostate cancer, cardiac conduction disorder and hypertension, attorney James Walden

noted at the sentencing hearing. “He’s been disgraced,” Walden said. “He will lose his law license. He’s losing his livelihood. He can never practice law again.” But James McMahon, an assistant prosecutor, discounted the “collateral consequences” argument. “Practicing law is a privilege,” McMahon told the court. “It is not something that you lose as a punishment. You lose it because you have shown that you no longer deserve to have that privilege. “And I think the same thing is true with respect to reputation in the community. One can earn a positive reputation, but if one no longer deserves to have it, one loses it. That’s not punishment.” Karas rejected the prosecution’s recommendation for up to 41 months in prison as too much, particularly given Parisi’s health.

He also found that punishment would not act as a “specific deterrence” to preventing Parisi from carrying out another scheme. But he agreed with McMahon’s rebuttal. Lawyers already know that if they break the law they will lose their privilege to practice law, Karas said. That collateral damage should not be given much weight in the sentencing. “My concern,” Karas said, “is general deterrence. My concern is this notion that society looks to lawyers to be the one group of people who won’t defraud the client.” Karas said lawyers need to understand “that saying I’m going to lose my law license, that’s not enough of a punishment.” Karas sentenced Parisi, 72, to six months in prison and two years of supervised release. » IN COURT

In Court—

Parisi did not oppose a motion by a state court grievance committee to strike his name from the roll of attorneys. Instead, the appellate judges noted, he submitted an application to resign as an attorney, attesting “that he could not successfully defend against the charges of professional misconduct stemming from his plea of guilty.” On Feb. 26, the appellate court formally disbarred him.

DEUTSCHE BANK SEEKS $35.8M IN FORECLOSURE OF FORMER WALMART BUILDING IN WHITE PLAINS

The loss of a Walmart store in downtown White Plains has led to a $35.8 million foreclosure action against the owner of The Shoppes on Main. Deutsche Bank sued an

affiliate of Ivy Equities LLC on March 5 in Westchester Supreme Court to foreclose on the mortgage for the building at 275 Main St. “Frankly, the whole building will operate as normal as we continue to seek new tenants,” Ivy’s co-CEO Anthony P. DiTommaso Jr. said in an email. “The action will not have an effect on operations.” The Shoppes on Main is next to White Plains City Hall and across the street from City Center. Ivy Equities, which has offices in Greenwich, Connecticut, and Montvale, New Jersey, renovated a former Sears store and reopened it in 2006. The basement and first two floors of the 275,169-square-foot structure were leased to Walmart and Burlington Coat Factory. A six-story parking garage looms above the retail space. Walmart closed in mid-

2018 and Burlington moved across the street to City Center. In January and February, according to the complaint, Ivy’s 275 Main Street Associates LP failed to make its monthly payments and operating expenses. Ivy Equities notified the bank in January that it owed $562,696 to vendors, including $324,278 that was “crucial to the continued maintenance and operation of the parking garage.” DiTommaso said “the garage will operate as normal.” As of March 6, the complaint states, Ivy owed $35.8 million in principal, interest and other fees, accruing at 12.25% a year. The bank is asking the court to appoint a receiver to take control of the building and sell it to pay off the mortgage. Several attorneys at Venable LLP represent the bank.

TECHNOLOGY WESTCHESTER COUNTY BUSINESS JOURNAL

CONTRIBUTING WRITER | By Nick D’Aquila

Technology aids seniors as population surges

ccording to the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2017 National Population Projections, by 2030 all baby boomers will be over age 65. This means that 1 in every 5 residents will be retirement age. Inevitably, most will require assistance with daily living activities at some point. Innovative technological solutions will be the only way to meet this unprecedented demand for care and many are already available. The following devices address key safety concerns and promote independence.

FALL DETECTION

Walabot HOME is an automated fall alert system developed specifically for

the bathroom where 80% of falls take place. It does not require any wearable necklace or bracelet. It is automatically activated without pushing a button. Walabot HOME continuously monitors for a fall while ensuring privacy. If a person falls, the designated emergency contact is notified through a two-way voice call and a text message. The alarm can be disabled simply by standing up.

MEDICATION MANAGEMENT

MedMinder provides both visual and auditory cueing and can even send a call to the patient as a reminder as well as notify caregivers if a regimen is not being followed. Styles range from simple pillboxes to a

monthly model that can be filled directly by a pharmacist. Many only open one correct compartment and lock the others to avoid an accidental overdose.

FIRE PREVENTION

Stovetop sensors automatically turn off the stove to prevent food from catching fire and potentially causing a larger house fire. The top brands monitor for motion and unattended pots or are triggered by smoke. Unattended and improper use of microwave ovens cause more than 7,000 home structure fires every year. Microwaves are also responsible for more emergency room injury visits than any other cooking device.

EMERGENCY RESPONSE

MyHelp 3G Cellular Personal Emergency Response System works without a landline phone to allow the elderly to call for help with just a push of a button. Simply press the waterproof pendant or wristband to reach an EMD certified monitoring center to report any type of emergency. Solo and Smart Watch are part of a new line of Mobile Help Emergency Response Systems that offer multiple customization options. Solo products are discreet wearables such as necklace pendants and wristlet pendants that allow clients to live everyday lives without a device around their neck. They

reduce embarrassment and increase mobility. Smart Watch is an all-inone smartwatch that allows users to call for medical assistance along with keeping up with their daily health needs, and can even tell them the weather. Both are trackable devices via GPS.

REMOTE MONITORING

The Wellness Remote Monitoring System offers a peace of mind and independence to both the caregiver and the individual. Discreet wireless sensors with multiyear batteries can be placed on beds, chairs, wheelchairs, etc., and throughout the home on doors and windows without drilling. A private web dashboard allows

WCBJ

caregivers to stay in touch, set reminders and track wellness.

HOME SAFETY

The Nest IQ indoor and outdoor video surveillance solution has an added level of security — a unique familiar face recognition technology that knows who should be in the home and who should not. The app can monitor in real time and receive a photo alert of a person 50 feet away. The Nest Hello Doorbell allows a full view of the doorstep. Nick D’Aquila is the director of information systems for Assisted Living Technologies, Inc. He can be reached at nick@assistedlivingct.com or 203-235-TECH (8324).
