THE FINE FACTOR DEVELOPER GIVES WORKFORCE HOUSING AN UPMARKET SPIN

BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

steady stream of construction workers approached developer Peter Fine to shake hands at a June 30 topping out ceremony in Mount Vernon. They thanked him for the jobs he created by building La Porte Apartments, a $60 million, 14-floor affordable workforce housing project at 203 Gramatan Ave. The path to those jobs, and more to come with two pending projects, has been a tortuous, nineyear process of securing government support and financing. “Sometimes I think I’m not in the housing business, I’m in public works,” Fine said. “But I’m OK with that.”

Fine grew up in governmentsubsidized housing in Queens. He earned a master’s degree in sociology from New York University in 1986 and became a social worker. He shifted to housing development in 1995, co-founding Atlantic Development Group and becoming one of the most prolific builders of affordable housing in the region. La Porte, he said, “is by far the nicest workforce housing I’ve ever built.” Unlike typical housing projects, the 159 apartments will have washers and dryers and tenantcontrolled heating and air conditioning. There will be a gym, children’s playroom, media room with a 12-foot screen and a lounge with a full pantry on the roof, surrounded » LA PORTE, page 6

Report: Start-Up NY job growth slow statewide TWB Loan Decision Banner Ad 6” w x 1.5” h 2-23-16

BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com

IN ITS FIRST TWO YEARS, START-UP NY has created more tax-free zones than it has actual jobs, according to a report released July 1. The program has created 408 new jobs: 76 in 2014 and 332 in 2015, according to the report from Empire State Development Corp., the state agency that oversees the

program. Start-Up NY offers a 10-year reprieve from state and local taxes to new or growing businesses in the state if they locate in specific locations in New York partnered with public and private college campuses. While 441 locations and more than 5 million square feet in the state have been designated as Start-Up NY space, according

to the report, job growth hasn’t exactly matched up. In the MidHudson region — which includes Westchester, Rockland, Orange, Dutchess, Sullivan, Ulster and Putnam counties — five jobs were created in 2015, all in Kingston, according to the report. Gov. Andrew Cuomo has touted the program since its start, calling it one of the most ambitious economic development initia-

tives in the state in decades. Tens of millions of dollars have been spent in advertising, catching the eye of State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli. DiNapoli released an audit of Cuomo’s economic development initiatives as a whole in 2015 that said Empire State Development had spent $211 million in advertising with “no tangible results.” Far from being advertised, the

Jams from the Valley

PHILIPSTOWN WOMAN PRESERVES FAMILY TRADITION IN NATIONAL BUSINESS BY MARY SHUSTACK mshustack@westfairinc.com

rom the moment we first heard about Eleanor’s Best, we were intrigued. A blurb on the Cold Spring Area Chamber of Commerce’s website not only describes what the company does but also hints at the manner in which it does it: “We are a scrappy business that makes and sells artisanal handmade jams, jellies, preserves and marmalade in Philipstown, which lies in the heart of the Hudson Valley. We started this adventure to share the awesome and intense flavors that we grew up with.” And the company is doing just that — with a clear vision and a bit of attitude to spare — which we learn during a mid-afternoon visit with founder Jennifer Mercurio as a recent day’s work is winding down. “It’s pretty straightforward,” she says with a warm smile, welcoming us into her commercial kitchen, a short hike beyond the Cold Spring shopping district. “This is our Jammery with a capital ‘J.’” Mercurio, who grew up on Manhattan’s Upper West Side and Rhode Island, has tapped into her own — and many a family’s — traditions. “Growing up, it was ‘women’s work’ making jam,” she says. “It was women’s work to make things and preserve things.” But, at first, it wasn’t to be Mercurio’s work. No, she spent years as a successful intellectual properties and corporate lawyer in the video-game world before the switch. “Everyone sees me as this really serious Darth Vader attorney,” she says with a laugh, though now her days are more often filled with raspberries and rhubarb, ginger and grapefruits.

EARLY DAYS

“I started making jam when we moved up here to the Hudson Valley,” she says of the efforts shared with family and friends. Soon, “people we didn’t even know starting showing up at our home and began asking for it.” She began formally selling it — the first sales coming from six jars at The Country Goose in Cold Spring — near the end of 2013. Since that first success, Mercurio has maintained her focus creating products “slow stirred in small batches,” by a staff that has grown to 10. “We do it all very purposefully. The jam is literally what you would dream of having, made by your great-grandmother or aunt.” There’s an inherent respect for ingredients, with Mercurio buying fruits and vegetables from family-owned farms, fields and orchards whenever possible. And that includes her family’s own, Mercurio Farms in nearby Garrison, her husband Joseph’s domain. There’s also a dedication to creating a product free of additives, dyes or fillers — all

those things that crowd a typical jam label. The products, Mercurio notes, are also naturally vegan and gluten-free. “We don’t want the big chemical load.” Each of the 14 flavors contains just four ingredients except for the strawberry-rhubarb, which has five.

FROM FARM TO TABLE

Though the company gets its natural ingredients at their peak — from farms and farmers markets — they are often frozen to maintain a steady supply throughout the year. The recipes, which take anywhere from a couple of hours to up to three days to finish, yield a product then — no big machines here — ladled into jars by hand. The commitment to a pure approach extends to the packaging, with Mercurio sourcing jars and lids from historic American companies. The products are packed in fully compostable boxes, with all packaging designed to be recycled and reused. And more than just local followers, including chefs who collaborate with Mercurio on custom blends, appreciate the results. Eleanor’s Best is now sold in “31 states and D.C.,” Mercurio says, with outlets including fine cheese shops, butchers, gourmet stores and larger specialty retailers such as Whole Foods Market, Mrs. Green’s Natural Market and Hannaford.

MEMORABLE MOMENTS

Mercurio says a big part of her work also reinforces the idea that food should be about more than flavor. It should, Mercurio says, transport you. Quince jam, she shares, turns the spot-

light back on a onetime Hudson Valley favorite, while other customers tasting Eleanor’s Best might have their own family associations with flavors such as blueberry or hot pepper. The tastes and the preparation, Mercurio says, often take her back to her own earlier years. “When I make flavors, I’m recalling the memories.” And that’s something she hopes to pass along, with her young daughter already taking an interest in the business. But, Mercurio stresses, making jams and jellies goes beyond the day-to-day efforts and traditions being carried on. It’s about offering healthier options for families, something she touches on during the small classes she leads. It’s also about giving back, a key element of the company. Eleanor’s Best and Mercurio Farms donate to many local charities and organizations, working to support organizations that fight childhood hunger, support family farms and promote the use of real and nourishing food. Mercurio and her husband are also local volunteer firefighters. Throughout, she wants her daughter to see, “This is the way we live in a community.” Eleanor’s Best, Mercurio explains, is not only named after the 150 years of “Eleanors” in her family but continues to build on their legacy of creating something special. “It’s real, and real food is just better… It’s accessible gourmet food.” For more, visit eleanorsbest.com.

Manhattanville ready to go solar

CARPORT SOLAR ARRAY PROJECT COULD SAVE COLLEGE $3M OVER 25 YEARS BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com

anhattanville College is cleared to start construction on a carport solar array project that the school says will soon provide 20 percent of the campus’ electricity. The Purchase-based college of 1,800 undergraduates received approval from the Harrison Planning Board in April to

start construction on the solar project. The school expects to start building the arrays by the end of the month. The plan calls for about 3,600 panels to be built over parking lots on Manhattanville’s campus. The panels will produce 1.1 megawatts yearly, good for about a fifth of the college’s energy needs. The project should be complete by late October, according to J. Gregory Palmer, vice president of operations for Manhattanville

College. Different from the more common rooftop and ground-mount solar panels, a carport design places solar panels on a structure above parking areas. The carport solar style is somewhat unusual for solar operations in New York, Palmer said, adding they are more commonly seen out west. But the architecture of Manhattanville’s older buildings made rooftop panels impractical, and the school

didn’t have enough land for a large array of ground-mounted solar panels, Palmer said. “We had these big, open parking lots, so this just worked for us better,” he added. Carports allow Manhattanville to take advantage of unused space above parking lots, which soak up their fair share of sun. The panels can catch that sun and keep cars parked in the shade beneath them cool. “I think you’ll see more and more of them,” Palmer said. “I know we are one of the first in Westchester, certainly in Harrison.” The project will be built through a 25-year power purchase agreement between the school and a group of energy companies: Energy In The Bank, RBI Solar, Cenergy Power and General Energy Solutions Inc. The array will be financed, owned and operated by General Energy Solutions, Palmer said. The school will purchase power from the array starting at 10.5 cents per kilowatt hour the first year, with the price increasing at a rate of 2.5 percent per year after that. The school currently pays 17 cents per kilowatt hour, Palmer said, so it expects to save about $3 million in energy costs over the 25-year period. But the decision for solar comes down to more than cutting costs. In 2009, Manhattanville joined the American College and University Presidents’ Climate Commitment (which is now known as the Carbon Commitment) by pledging to become carbon-neutral by 2025. Toward that end, the school is also retrofitting its buildings with LED lighting and upgrading control systems for boilers and air conditioning units. The school will also add charging stations for electric vehicles once the carport is in place. Manhattanville expects the solar project to save approximately 800 metric tons of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere each year, which it says is the equivalent of removing 160 cars from the road annually.

Hastings OKs cleanup pact for polluted waterfront

Citrin Cooperman Corner Lessons Learned BY MARK L. FAGAN, CPA CITRIN COOPERMAN Each CEO has a unique approach to leadership. In preparing for each CEO Evolution roundtable I perform a lot of research to ensure we uncover the heart of these perspectives with the panelists (this year was Margaret Keane, MARK L. FAGAN Bill Simon and Scott Gillis). Every event has given me new insights and lessons learned on what it means to be a CEO.

BEATING THE COMPETITION – WHO ARE YOU REALLY UP AGAINST? Atlantic Richfield Co. has agreed to spend an estimated $250 million to clean up this polluted riverfront property in Hastings-on-Hudson where Anaconda Wire and Cable Co. formerly operated. Photo by Aleesia Forni.

BY ALEESIA FORNI aforni@westfairinc.com

he Hastings-on-Hudson Board of Trustees has approved an updated consent decree that will pave the way for the cleanup of 28 acres of waterfront property in the village owned by Atlantic Richfield Co., a subsidary of BP plc. The vacant site, the former location of copper wire manufacturer Anaconda Wire and Cable Co., had been contaminated by toxins including polychlorinated biphenyls and metals, including copper, lead and zinc. The decree is an update to a version signed in 2003 that settled a lawsuit between Atlantic Richfield, the village and environmental group Riverkeeper and forced Atlantic Richfield to clean up the site. Since that time factors, including potential storm risks, rising sea levels and a new set of directives issued by the state Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) resulted in the need for changes to the agreement. “It’s a long time coming and it’s a relief to get it behind us,” Hastings Mayor Peter Swiderski said following the July 5 board meeting. Atlantic Richfield signed an order in 2014 with the DEC, pledging to fund the more than $250 million estimated cost of removing the contaminated soil and sediment from the designated state Superfund site. As part of the cleanup, the developable portion of the site will be raised to 11 feet above sea level and buildings must be constructed more than 100 feet from the shoreline and not exceed 65 feet in height. Ideally, Swiderski said, he hopes to see a concrete ramp or boat launch along with lighter structures such as small cafes, food vendors or kayak storage facilities on the prop-

erty. The village plans to work with Atlantic Richfield and consultants funded by a grant from the DEC to finalize the design of the shoreline over the course of the next year. A trust fund initially set up under the first consent decree remains in effect, seeded with $1.4 million that can be used for river-related projects. Atlantic Richfield will fund an additional $1.3 million to clean up the former village dump site, Quarry Park and restore the trail that links Quarry Park with the waterfront. The renegotiated decree also sets aside up to 14.25 acres as dedicated open space. “It’s exciting that it brings us to the next phase in the project,” Swiderski said of the decree’s approval. That next phase, he said, will be deciding the fate of the two structures still standing on the property: a water tower and Building 52. The water tower sits above a “substantial pocket of pollution,” according to Swiderski, and had always been slated for removal. Atlantic Richfield has pledged up to $1.35 million in matching funds to help either restore it or build a new one on the property, depending both on feedback from the village and the water tower’s condition. The board is also expected to decide later this year whether to grant the company a demolition permit for Building 52, a redbrick industrial building dubbed the “literal birthplace” of PCBs. Swiderski said the design of the cleanup is due in March 2017. “If the cleanup doesn’t start next year, it would be starting very soon into the following year,” he said. Atlantic Richfield expects the process to take about five years to complete.

This year’s research included reading Scott’s Beliefs, Behaviors, and Results: The Chief Executive’s Guide to Delivering Superior Shareholder Value (BBR). Co-founder of Galt & Company, Scott consults with Fortune 200 companies and believes the key to achieving superior performance over a long period of time has more to do with internal forces than external. Most CEO’s are able to name their most profitable customers, divisions and segments. When naming these profitable areas, revenues and gross profit are often the first two financial factors thought of. But is using just these two factors a fair assessment of value? When determining the value of a company, it is widely accepted that sustained, repeatable cash flows is the primary measure (i.e. EBITDA). The problem is measuring cash flows in a disaggregated basis is often difficult. For example, the cost of capital (facilities, equipment, and human capital) is often forgotten when assessing cash flows generated from business segments. These costs, referred to as “overhead”, are often not allocated to business segments because to do so would be imprecise and subjective. Further, products, segments, and customers with poor gross profits are tolerated and rationalized as “contributing to corporate overhead.” The theory that “all revenue is good” can be costly. What if you take a shot at allocating ALL the costs of your business to your business segments? What you will most likely find is that the cash profits of your business come from a smaller portion of your company’s revenues than you think. In fact, according to BBR, only 40% of a company’s revenues increase shareholder value, and 25-30% actually decrease shareholder value. While after the analysis, those top customers and segments you named may still be the most profitable, what about those that are actually costing you money, or are neutral? The underbelly of the business is exposed and the question becomes - how to turn them into profitable businesses? What segments or markets to invest in? Where to put your most talented employees? Which segments are just not worth our time? Sounds like a good summer project no?

CLARITY OF MESSAGE

Creating and maintaining the culture of an organization is one of the most challenging

duties of a CEO, and its difficulty is multiplied as the company grows. Bill Simon, CEO of Walmart U.S. from 2010 – 2014, employed 1.2 million people, and said “at any given time, there’s 10,000 people that are doing something you don’t want them to do. How do you stop them or point them in the right direction? It comes from leadership behaviors and clarity of message.” Walmart’s message is to provide everyday items at the lowest possible costs. The message to employees is “the better you do your job, the more people will want to shop here. Those people will save money shopping here, and be able to provide more for their families.” That message has to the followed by leadership as well, which Bill did with his $4 prescription drug program. After identifying that Walmart’s prescription drug business had incredible profits, Bill proposed to reduce sale prices because making excessive profits was not in accordance with Walmart’s message. An example like that resonates with all employees - from the executive suite to those on the ground in the stores.

TRANSPARENCY IS KING

Margaret Keane was head of GE Capital’s credit card division (with private label cards including Walmart and Lowes) during the Great Recession. During that time GE Capital, like other financial institutions, were pulling back credit card lines at a time when consumers needed them most. This did not go over well with GE Capital’s partners, including Walmart, JC Penny and Lowes, said Margaret. “I can say one thing I was proud of - we never made a change unless we sat down with the client. We said, here are the changes that are going in, when they are going in, and what it’s going to do to impact you.” Margaret added, “We’ve been through a lot, 37 years, I call these relationships marriages, because there are going to be good and bad times.” Indeed, whether you have bad news for a customer, vendor, or the bank that supports your business, transparency early and often will always result in the best outcome.

IN CONCLUSION

Leadership takes more than directing from the top, you have to understand your business and your client’s business from all angles, knowing the key challenges and being able to navigate through them to build strong teams and opportunities for growth and profitability. Being a leader is a privilege and I think the price of admission is a commitment to continually learn from others. About the Author: Mark L.

by a 4,000-square-foot landscaped deck with views of the Manhattan skyline. The building includes 20,000 square feet of retail space. A Dollar Tree store has taken half of the space and Fine would like to lease the rest to an apparel store and restaurant. He also took control of the deteriorating Sidney Avenue Municipal Garage. He is waterproofing the leaky structure, making structural repairs, painting it and installing new elevators, lighting, signs and security cameras. About 800 feet along Gramatan is getting a $1.4 million makeover with a new sidewalk, trees, benches and streetlights. The company is taking applications (applylaporte.com) for 20 studios, 99 onebedroom and 39 two-bedroom apartments. Rents will range from $990 to $1,429. People with annual incomes from $34,663 to $64,680 qualify, and 30 percent of the apartments will be rented to Mount Vernon residents. Topping out ceremonies mark the point when the last structural piece is placed atop a building and most of what remains to be done is interior work. The custom is part tribute to contractors and laborers and part public relations gesture announcing that a project is about to open for business. Atlantic Development and the general contractor, To Better Days Construction, set up a buffet lunch amidst the grit of the unfinished retail space and the dusty, sweet smell of recently poured concrete. The prime contractors include architect GF55 Partners LLP, structural engineer Brooker Engineering, mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineer Ettinger Engineering and civil engineer Kellard Sessions. Fine pointed out that nearly one-third of the $40 million construction budget was awarded to Mount Vernon companies and 43 construction jobs were set aside for

Mount Vernon residents. He estimated that 150 construction workers are on site now. The project was nine years in the making and spanned the tenures of three mayors. Fine began discussions with Mount Vernon Mayor Ernie Davis in 2007. He said Davis saw the project as a catalyst to downtown redevelopment. That was about the same time that Fine was helping to bring Lin-Manuel Miranda’s “In the Heights” to Broadway, where it won best musical and three other Tony Awards in 2008. That year, Fine’s Blue Rio LLC bought two downtown Mount Vernon parcels for $3.5 million. By then, Clinton Young Jr. had become mayor. Davis regained the mayor’s office in 2012 and Richard Thomas displaced Davis this year. All three mayors, Fine said, bought into the vision. “It’s a great city with good bones,” Fine said in explaining his interest in Mount Vernon. “It just needs tender loving care.” The location, south of the Gramatan Avenue roundabout and next to the 5.2-acre Hartley Park, is considered the gateway to the city’s commercial district. Vacant buildings and underutilized land had blighted the neighborhood and detracted from economic conditions, according to findings in a 2010 state environmental quality review. He also sought county support, and County Executive Andrew J. Spano pledged housing bonds. But in 2010, the new county executive, Robert P. Astorino, vetoed the deal. The county Board of Legislators overrode the veto in 2011 and approved $4.5 million in housing bonds. But the appropriation languished with the county contract agency controlled by Astorino. “I lost two years,” Fine said. He assembled financing from a variety of sources, in what the New York State Housing Finance Agency described as a complex structure. Two years ago, the agency approved a $30 million mortgage loan for Blue Rio

Kenwood LLC, controlled by Fine and Kenneth Knuckles. The agency also backed the project with a $5.1 million subsidy loan and a $3.1 million Senate loan. The State of New York Mortgage Agency provided a mortgage insurance policy. The city kicked in federal money: a $1.65 million community development block grant loan and a $1.5 million Home Partnership loan. The city’s industrial development agency negotiated payments in lieu of taxes to provide property tax relief. In 2010, Atlantic Development planned to sell low-income housing tax credits – providing dollar-for-dollar reductions in taxpayers’ federal income taxes – to raise about $100,000 per unit. “Without these credits,” the environmental quality review noted, “the applicants maintain the building would not be feasible.” Fine said he has deferred $6 million in fees to make the financing work. “I’m trying to make a profit,” he said. “But I’m trying to profit on the quality of the units.” He explained that a lot of affordable housing is subpar and government officials are skeptical about developers. His strategy is to build a superior product, win the con-

fidence of city officials and set the stage for more development. La Porte is the first of three proposed buildings, including a market-rate building at 30 Oakley Ave. and senior citizen apartments on Crary Avenue. He expects La Porte to be finished by September. The next project is Hartley Park Towers, around the corner from La Porte at the site of the former Rose YM-YWHA building. Fine bought the property in 2009 from Halmar Construction for $2.1 million. The 10-story, 109-unit building will be the first market-rate apartments built in downtown Mount Vernon in 40 years, the company spokesman said. It will require 190 construction jobs. About $6 million in construction and labor contracts will go to Mount Vernon businesses. Fine hopes to break ground in September, pending city approvals that, he said, have been delayed. “I would think they would want to keep us rolling, spending all the money and employing residents,” he said. “This was the beginning, the foundation,” he said. “I want to keep the construction guys working in Mount Vernon.”

The space is still vacant and the school is in discussions with Montefiore Medical Center and seeking state funding for renovations, said Lenore Carpinelli, a spokesperson for CNR. • Iona College has about 9,000 square feet of

designated space on its New Rochelle campus, and another 50,000 square feet at its Rockland Graduate Center in Pearl River. In January, Iona announced that Syncsort Inc., a big-data software provider, will move into the Pear River space, relocating its headquarters from Woodcliff Lake in New Jersey’s Bergen County. The company is expected to bring all of its 145 employees across the state border when it makes the move, the Business Journal reported in January.

Brexit could mean more millennials for Westchester with Westchester County’s recent efforts to attract both businesses and younger homeowners. Just last week, The Business Council of Westchester and Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino held their “40 under 40” Rising Stars event, stressing the need to attract a younger workforce. Westchester has long struggled to market itself to younger generations, with data suggesting that the county’s population is steadi-

ly aging. An influx of millennials moving into Westchester will add investment value to the neighborhood but equally as important may make Westchester a more attractive destination for corporations to plant their flag. As corporations rely on access to talent, Brexit may provide the conditions for Westchester to capitalize on an influx of millennials who in turn will attract the corporations which will create the virtuous cycle required to

reinvigorate the Westchester economy. Though it may be a few years before our local economy stands to benefit from Brexit’s ripple effects, the potential added appeal is promising. Ayall Schanzer is principal of GreinerMaltz Realty Advisors LLC in Rye Brook and former president and CEO of Friedland Realty Advisors in Westchester.

hen the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union, industry experts expressed a difference of opinion as to what this would mean for the New York real estate market. Some predicted that the initial impact would be positive, as Brexit would likely make mortgage rates even more affordable, while others feared the move would drive up market prices and edge local investors out of the equation. Facing the threat of a global recession, foreign investors will inevitably turn to New York as a safe haven for their assets — and this is a double-edged sword. On one hand, New York’s economy stands to gain from the added investment dollars pouring out of London. On the other, New Yorkers will be forced to compete with wealthy investors from countries like China and India — many of which are able to purchase with all cash. This trend will impact businesses as well as individuals, especially the millennials and first-time buyers — a group that is already struggling to break into the housing market. Typically, younger buyers need to take out a mortgage in order to afford a home. Consequently, these first-time purchasers will be forced to compete with foreign cash buyers and will have a more difficult time purchasing property in prime areas such as Manhattan and Brooklyn. That’s bad news for the young twenty-something who always dreamed of owning a property overlooking New York City’s skyline, but good news for neighboring real estate markets. Brexit may mean that millennials will be edged into less competitive markets within close proximity to Manhattan. Areas like Westchester, which is just a short 30-minute train ride away from the city, will become far more appealing. This is very much in line

Books, booze, bocce at Eastchester-bound Barnes & Noble BY ALEESIA FORNI aforni@westfairinc.com

ustomers heading to Barnes & Noble will soon be able to not only get their hands on the latest bestseller, but a beer, too. Following another fiscal year of losses, the New York-based retailer and nation’s largest bookstore chain announced during an investor presentation that it will open its first “concept store” in Eastchester in October, an initiative aimed at boosting foot traffic to its brick-and-mortar shops and keeping customers in-store longer. These new spaces will also offer patrons something its online-only competitors can’t: full-service restaurants serving beer and wine. While most of Barnes & Noble’s locations include cafes offering Starbucks drinks, sweets and snacks, these expanded eateries will serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. “Adding wine and beer is almost kind of essential to rounding out that experience,” said Jaime Carey, the recently appointed president of Barnes and Noble’s development and restaurant group who previously served as the company’s chief operating officer. The new Eastchester concept store, which will take up residence in the Vernon

Hills Shopping Center in a former Borders location, will also feature an expanded offering of books, additional seating, open spaces for store events and an outdoor space complete with a bocce court and fire pit. While the total footprint of the new stores will be down about 20 to 25 percent compared with existing ones, dining spaces will account for a greater percentage of instore real estate and contribute to a larger portion of overall sales, Barnes & Noble officials said. The Eastchester location will be one of four concept stores nationwide. Other stores will open in the coming year in Edina, Minn., Folsom, Calif. and Loudoun County, Va. In an effort to avoid the fate of the bankrupt bookstore chain that had been in the Eastchester space, Carey said these new stores are about strengthening the customer’s in-store experience. “It wasn’t just about making it more transactional,” he said of the new stores’ designs, but more about “making your time in the store more enjoyable.” The company’s stock price initially rose with the news, up around 8 percent at $11.26 a share following the investor presentation on June 23, before falling back to $10.73 the week after. Barnes & Noble executives hope these

stores will provide a turnaround from the dismal figures the company has posted in recent years. Earlier this month, it reported $30.6 million in losses for the fiscal year ended in April, after recording a $19.4 million loss in the prior year. Fourth-quarter sales declined $33 million on dwindling sales in e-commerce and NOOK, its brand of e-retailers, as well as store closures. But there are some bright spots on the horizon. The chain expects next year’s sales could be flat or increase up to 1 percent, an

improvement from the 5.8 percent decline it saw for that metric two years ago. Other initiatives the company plans to put into place include taking advantage of the booming adult coloring book trend by opening “For the Artist” shops in 200 stores that provide artist supplies, along with offering a wider selection of graphic novels and expanding its membership program. “It’s about coming and enjoying the space,” Carey said. “That’s really what we’re kind of trying to do here.”

THE NEW DEAN OF PACE UNIVERSITY’S computer science school says Westchester and Fairfield counties are poised to become a significant technology hub, and the college intends to be a part of that. Pace named Jonathan H. Hill as dean of Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems, effective July 1, after a lengthy national search. He had been serving as interim dean since September and was previously the associate dean. Hill said there has been a lot of talk about the loss of technology jobs as Fortune 500 companies have moved out of the region. But there is a counter-trend. Many technology jobs are unfilled here and young professionals, for example, are moving out of Brooklyn to places like Tarrytown and Mount Kisco to work for technology companies. “Students today are invested in identifying ways to solve complicated problems, like global warming or dirty drinking water,” he said. “Computer science at its heart is a problem-solving discipline.” The Seidenberg School has about 1,200 full-time and 600 part-time students at campuses in lower Manhattan and Pleasantville. Hill will oversee a faculty of 34 full-time instructors and more than 50 subject-matter experts. “This is an incredibly exciting time to be in technology education,” Hill said. “Absolutely, the school is going to grow and pivot to meet the needs of the technology industry that is growing exponentially. The opportunities in Westchester County are unprecedented.” He said Seidenberg, founded in 1983, is the third-oldest continuous school of computer science in the country. He said it is strong in cyber security, software engineering, mobile development and artificial intelligence. Its newest offering is big data and enterprise analytics. Hill’s career has straddled academia and business development. He is a principal at EngineerRe, a consulting firm that advises organizations on changing the way they do business to achieve optimal functionality. He worked in

include Reflexology Day Spa and The NY Dolls clothing boutique, with health professionals leasing second-floor office space. The buyer, 153 Main St MK Holdings LLC, paid roughly $261 per square foot of space with a capitalization rate of 8.5 percent on inplace income. The seller, 330 Realty Associates, owned the property for 30 years, according to Admiral Real Estate. The building had one retail vacancy at the time of the sale. John Barrett, head of investment sales at Admiral Real Estate, exclusively brokered the deal for the seller and identified the buyer. Barrett noted the property is directly across East Main Street from the long-vacant site of the former Borders Books & Music store, where developers plan to open a Modell’s Sporting Goods store later this summer, “which will be a catalyst for more retail shoppers on the block.” “Professionally managed retail assets with stable cash flow continue to attract substantial interest from existing retail operators, as well as buyers who are looking to diversify by asset class,” Barrett added.

interest is the dark horse of social media. With more than 100 million monthly active users, it is a giant online network. While it does not boast as many users as Facebook and Twitter, a Pinterest user’s purchasing power and tendency to buy products exceed the rest of the competition. The average Pinterest user makes more than $100,000 each year (as per a Mashable infographic) and they’re not afraid to spend it. The potential to ignite incredible brand loyalty exists and you don’t need a large audience to get started. Most of your pins will be seen by far more people than the number of individuals who are following you. One of the pins I posted when I had 500 followers ended up getting over 1,000 repins a few days later. My audience didn’t grow overnight. That shows you can do great things with Pinterest regardless of your audience size. In a month, my friend Nick Loper went from getting less than 50 blog visitors per month to 5,000-plus visitors in the same time from Pinterest alone. Regardless of whether you own a blog or a local business, that type of power can dramatically impact your business. Here’re some ways you can create similar results:

#1: POST ON OTHER PEOPLE’S GROUP BOARDS

Posting on other people’s group boards is perhaps the only way you can get thousands upon thousands of followers overnight. Individuals who create group boards are looking for contributors to keep their boards fresh with new content. You can contribute to these group boards and have some of the pins lead back to your blog. Overpromoting yourself on these boards can create trouble, but if you share other people’s content and occasionally share your blog posts, you’ll do well. Just like that, your blog gets

Creating group boards and inviting contributors will ensure fresh content and make your profile perform better in Pinterest’s search engine. Your audience will grow as a result of Pinterest search engine exposure and when your contributors get new followers. Furthermore, there is an option for people to follow all of your boards, including those of your contributors/partners. That means if someone clicks “Follow All” on one of your partner’s profiles, your group board has an extra follower. If you have 10 contributors who can get five different followers each day, your group board gets an additional 50 unique followers.

#3: ANALYZE YOUR PINS

Every one to two weeks, I review my social media content and see which posts got traffic and which posts didn’t perform as well. By analyzing your pins every one to two weeks, you can discover what your audience wants more of and what your most successful pins have in common. Learning these secrets within your own business will shed some light on how you should pin to achieve maximum exposure and engagement. Discover what your audience wants and keep on giving them what they want. While Facebook ads, live streaming and the various new social networks seem to be stealing the show, Pinterest remains a secret weapon worthy of any business owner’s attention. People spend a massive amount of time on the site and aren’t afraid to spend their money on products they see on Pinterest. Pinterest surpassed 10 million U.S. monthly unique visitors faster than any other website in existence. The surge hasn’t stopped, and now is the perfect time for you to get in on the action. In the sentiment of growing your business online, simply put, happy pinning! Marc Guberti is an incoming freshman at Fordham University and a social media and business blogger and author.

Social media’s use in employment practices

t is well-settled that the use of social media, for better or worse, has become a mainstay in employment practices. Employers, recruiters and human resource professionals alike have all recognized that social media is an important tool in employee hiring, as both companies and prospective employees use social media to enhance their profiles and to present their qualifications in the most impressive light. Recent case law and National Labor Relations Board decisions demonstrate the increased prevalence of social media in areas ranging from company monitoring of employee communications to employers’ attempt to prohibit employees’ online discussions about their work environment. Similarly, social media is playing an increasingly important role in employee terminations, as employers become more aware of what their employees do outside of work and how that behavior comports with a company’s values.

SOCIAL MEDIA IN HIRING

Multiple surveys reveal that recruiters and prospective employers are looking at

social media when making hiring decisions. These surveys demonstrate that job seekers too use social media as a tool to find employment — with 25 percent using it as their primary search tool and younger job seekers ages 18 through 34 reporting that seven out of 10 found their previous job through social media. Companies are increasingly using social media to identify candidates, validate applicant resumes, and examine potential corporate “fit,” as well as to disqualify applicants whose social media postings or information are unacceptable to employers. Companies’ widespread use of social media in making hiring decisions implicates anti-discrimination laws at the federal, state, and local levels. These anti-discrimination laws, depending on the employer, prohibit employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, and national origin; disabilities; age; differences in an employee’s DNA, and veteran status. Discrimination claims may arise due to employers learning about an applicant’s protected status via social media, by excluding certain groups who do not receive infor-

mation about the potential job because of overly targeted social media advertisements, or because the employer is making a hiring decision on an applicant’s low social media score where the position does not justify such a score. The use of social media in hiring may also bring into play the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Companies often use third parties to conduct background or social media checks on applicants. In that scenario, the third parties are considered consumer reporting agencies or CRAs. As a CRA, those third parties must comply with the FCRA, including its notice provisions. Those provisions require notice to an applicant that a background check will occur, as well as notice that information having a negative impact has been found, and time to correct such information. Another area impacted by the use of social media in hiring is password protection. As of Jan. 1, 30 states, including Connecticut, have passed laws that prohibit requesting or requiring an employee, student, or applicant from disclosing their

username or password in connection with a personal social media account. While no analogous protection exists at the federal level, the Stored Communications Act arguably provides a similar level of protection. The lessons concerning an employer’s use of social media in hiring can be reduced to three key points. First, employers should use social media only as part of a larger recruitment plan. Second, employers should screen applicants in a consistent manner. And third, employers should review only publicly available information in connection with hiring decisions. Myles Bartley and Jeffrey I. Carton are partners at Denlea & Carton LLP, a boutique litigation law �irm in West Harrison serving clients in New York, Connecticut, New Jersey and Massachusetts. Bartley can be reached at mbartley@denleacarton.com or 914-331-0107. Carton can be reached at jcarton@denleacarton.com or 914- 331-0100. This is the �irst of three articles examining legal and business issues associated with using social media in hiring, during an employee’s tenure and in termination decisions.

ASK ANDI

BY ANDI GRAY

Make your business unique We need a differentiator; as an industry we’re being commoditized. We won’t be able to stay in business forever unless things change. THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: Offering something unique boosts profitability and chances for survival in any small business. Avoid price wars. Turn away some buyers in order to create value. Don’t get complacent. Be nimble. Give clients a reason to choose you. Convenience, advice, results, consistency, confidence, a combo offer, reliability, affiliation or something special — these are all reasons clients might choose your company’s solution over anyone else’s. Decide what value to offer the market and find the market that values your offer. Dare to be extraordinary. Don’t worry that you can’t match what some other vendor brings to market. Do what others can’t or won’t do, so long as you can charge enough to realize significant profit.

Make sure that the clients you are targeting have renewal capability of their own. Focus on buyers who will be around in the future, asking for more than they do today. Compete as much for future opportunity as you do for current market share. Watch out for buyers who put out lowcost bids. They are not looking for something special. They are trying to drive a wedge between your value proposition and your pricing strategy. As they sneak in to grab what your company offers at the lowest possible price, they set in motion a chain of events that result in your company’s products or services looking just like everyone else’s. Believe it — nobody wins a price war. It’s a race to the bottom. Profit evaporates and with it so do funds that could be invested in creating or supporting unique solutions. Don’t go there. Seek out customers who are learners, innovators, forward-thinkers. Build around them. They’ll keep your business young. Serve the needs of existing customers who want the same old thing. But don’t invest a lot of time or energy trying to hang onto

them. When they’re ready to move on, let them go. They’re part of your past, not your future. Exclusivity is a powerful tool. Creating “have-nots” can be part of building a value proposition. If everyone wants what your company offers, that’s great. But it may not be so great if everyone can actually acquire it. Watch out for competitors who copy what you offer. While it’s a form of flattery, it’s also a warning sign. Someone else is moving in on your territory. Reinvent yourself before they make you obsolete. Sellers who forget to reinvent themselves regularly, who stop listening to their future clients — those are the companies that eventually sink into oblivion. Always think about what comes next. Continuously work on what you will offer one, three, five and 10 years from now. Occasionally companies have an opportunity to be “the last man standing.” Only try this strategy if everyone else is getting out, and if customers can afford to pay more than they do at present. Be on the lookout for companies that

stopped reinventing themselves. Sellers who get complacent are ripe for the picking. When they run out of steam, step in with a plan to take over their market. Smaller companies can make changes rapidly. That is a real competitive advantage. Offer existing clients new solutions. Test receptivity until you know what drives value. Then create campaigns to get the marketplace to follow your lead. LOOKING FOR A GOOD BOOK?

MID-YEAR REVIEW: REAL ESATE, CONSTRUCTION, ENERGY BY HOWARD E. GREENBERG

Westchester’s 2016 office market MULTIFAMILY MANIA, MEDICAL REVIVAL, IMPROVEMENT

Normandy Real Estate Partners plans to tear down these vacated Platinum Mile office buildings and replace them with The Residences at Corporate Park Drive, shown in rendering, in a joint venture with Toll Brothers.

he real estate news for the first half of 2016 is generally good. As has been the case for a few years now, multifamily residential is the hot product, but office activity has been solid and medical and medicalrelated uses are surging again after a brief quiet period. “Though the final numbers are not yet in, the second quarter of the year seems to be continuing the positive trend seen in Q1,” says Karolina Pardo-Alexandre, research manager for Newmark Grubb Knight Frank. “There are a couple of major leases that are close to signing or are selecting their short lists. When and if one or both of these are finalized, it is anticipated that there will be a significant improvement in the Central Business District velocity and vacancy statistics. But the market is really a ‘tale of two counties’ with the large overhang of former corporate headquarters space in the Northern submarket dragging down the overall occupancy numbers. We are also seeing a resurgence in leasing activity for medical and for entities providing services related to the medical community. Overall, the market is healthy, repurposing of existing buildings continues to reduce available inventory, and average deal sizes continue to grow.”

MULTIFAMILY MANIA CONTINUES

Multifamily continues to be the superstar product in development. LCOR has begun construction of 500 units near the White Plains Metro-North station. The 707-unit project by Lennar (consisting of two 24-story towers) that will replace the Westchester Pavilion on South Broadway is fully approved and this obsolete former shopping center has been fully vacated. There is no official start date to my knowledge, but the demolition of the former Westchester Pavilion and the subsequent construction will have a big impact on the South Broadway/East Post Road corridor. Hopefully it will also spur redevelopment of the vacant, dilapidated retail corner opposite this new development and decrease the very high retail vacancy rate on East Post Road. The nearby Esplanade, a former senior residence, has received approvals to be converted to market-rate apartments — an interesting repurposing of a very old building. The Residences at Corporate Park Drive has received a key approval from Harrison for 421 market-rate apartments on the site of two

1970s-vintage office buildings. And SunCal and Diversified Investors have broken ground on Edge-on-Hudson, a mixed-use development including 1,177 residential units on the site of the former General Motors plant in Sleepy Hollow. Avalon Bay has applied to Yonkers for approval of 609 units on the Hudson River. The target markets for all of these units are projected to be a combination of millennials and empty nesters. In addition, S.L. Green has closed on the sale of a land site at Reckson Executive Park on King Street in Rye Brook. This site, formerly approved for about 350,000 square feet of office space, will now be developed as single-family, market-rate cluster housing. Along with the Residences at Corporate Park Drive, this will be the second residential development in Westchester in a corporate park setting. These will definitely be higher and better uses for this land, which would never again see office development. And SUNY Purchase is moving forward with a plan to add 385 units of housing for people 62 and older on 40 acres of its campus. This will include multiple formats, including apartments, single-family duplex and triplex homes, and beds for assisted living and memory care. Apparently, this has been a trend around the country, as the number of people over 65 continue to increase each year, and many of them are auditing college courses to stimulate their minds and involve themselves in the arts. Purchase College President Thomas Schwarz noted that “interacting with seniors who have firsthand experience in epoch-making events such as the civil rights movement or the Vietnam War would give students a better understanding of modern history.” So it is not just about housing. It is about creating an intergenerational community. Given the bifurcated target markets (empty nesters and millennials) for the

thousands of units of multifamily housing approved and under construction, it looks like there will be a lot of intergenerational communication in the future! Obviously, there is a big repurposing component in multifamily as well as in office. An obsolete shopping mall, a former automobile factory and two office building sites are morphing to residential uses.

OFFICE IS IMPROVING

Leasing activity in Q1 outpaced Q1 of 2015 by 36.7 percent. Deals of more than 10,000 square feet accounted for 72 percent of the leasing total. Smaller deals accounted for only 28 percent. Not that many years ago, some 85 percent of all lease transactions were for spaces of under 5,000 square feet. Increasing deal size is a good sign for the county, as it shows not only are existing tenants are growing but we are attracting more businesses that have attained a reasonable size. A 10,000-square-foot office tenant in today’s densely packed world employs 50 or more people. We are moving in the right direction. However, construction costs for office interiors are increasing, in part because general contractors and subcontractors are seeing a good flow of work. And tenants today want more expensive installations, with glass office walls and upgraded open kitchens. My expression for quite a while has been “seven is the new five,” meaning that the new standard lease term is lengthening to seven years rather than the old standard of five years. This helps building owners have enough time to amortize their construction costs and free rent and still make a profit. Renewals continue to dominate, with a significant number of them being renewalexpansions, including Nomura Holdings at Reckson Executive Park for 51,032 square feet and Merrill Lynch at 360 Hamilton Ave. — also a Reckson building — for 46,122 square feet. There is not a lot to report on the eastern or western submarkets as of this writing. Things are fairly quiet on the west side, but the law firm of Traub Lieberman Straus & Shrewsberry renewed its lease for 28,000 square feet at Mack-Cali’s 7 Skyline Drive in » SPECIAL REPORT page 16

Hawthorne in Q1. There are reportedly a number of 20,000- to 30,000-square-foot deals in proposal stages on the eastern side of the county, including at least one lease that will be new to Westchester. Also in the eastern submarket, substantially all of the 230,000 square feet of space is available or coming available during the next year at 900 King St., which is reportedly now controlled by its lender. This certainly fits the definition of “big block” space at more than 100,000 square feet per floor. But it really needs deals of at least 30,000 square feet to divide these super large floors, which narrows the pool of prospective tenants substantially.

IT’S COLD UP NORTH

The northern submarket is awash in vacant former headquarters space. The 550,000-square-foot One Pepsi Way has been fully vacated and is being marketed to pro-

spective tenants. IBM has announced that it will vacate its entire Somers campus — 1.2 million square feet — and shift its workers remaining there to its Armonk campus. Short of some massive economic incentives that would entice major companies to relocate to these buildings from outside the Hudson Valley, they will likely remain vacant in perpetuity unless some very creative alternative use is found for them or the land is sold to be redeveloped with different product types. It is not yet clear when the IBM vacancy will hit the statistics, but the Somers closure is a continuation of an ongoing corporate downsizing that has affected Westchester since it began almost 30 years ago. When and if this corporate campus is added to the Northern submarket vacancy statistics, it will heavily skew the entire county’s vacancy rate in a negative direction. This being said, GHP Realty is having success with its Strang Boulevard buildings in Yorktown Heights. Most recently they leased 15,660 square feet to New York Presbyterian/ Hudson Valley Hospital for administrative

offices. Digitech Computer services also relocated within the northern submarket, from Briarcliff Manor to 15,000 square feet at Chappaqua Crossing, the former Reader’s Digest headquarters.

WHILE THE CBD IS HEATING UP

The White Plains Central Business District has been quiet for a number of quarters, but it looks to be surging back in the first half of this year. There has been significant activity at 44 S. Broadway, which has secured the NY State Insurance Fund (34,000 square feet). This tenant is relocating from 105 Corporate Park Drive, which will be demolished to make way for the Residences at Corporate Park Drive. Vital Decisions, headquartered in Edison, N.J., is establishing a 20,000-square-foot location at this 850,000-square-foot CBD building. The company “assists patients and their families to live well by identifying and incorporating their personal goals into their health care decisions,” according to the company’s website. A company from out of the area that opens up an office this size in Westchester is a news event. In addition, New York Life is reportedly eyeing a 176,000-square-foot space on the top four floors of 44 S. Broadway, which will reportedly incorporate back office and disaster recovery functions. This would not only re-lease the top two floors of the building, which were vacated by the bankrupt former Reader’s Digest, but will also incorporate two floors currently occupied by Arcadis, which has been offering them for sublease for some time. It is also — almost — a new day at Mack-Cali. It is no secret that the Westchester Financial Center at 50 Main St. and 11 Martine Ave. has had limited leasing activity in recent years. Under the REIT’s new executive leadership, Mack-Cali is on the road to making signifi-

cant changes in this key CBD development. The location is ideal — just across the street from the Metro-North station — but the buildings have not seen any capital investment since they were built more than 30 years ago. Now they are planning major improvements, which may include a conference center, fitness center, new food service, and new lobbies. They have also quietly bought the former Pace University condominium,which occupies the lower portion of 11 Martine Ave., and will incorporate that into the redevelopment, adding 82,000 square feet of office space to their inventory. These buildings can and should be strong competitors in the train station portion of the CBD, pending completion of the capital improvements. Dannon, whose lease expires in 2017, is also reportedly still in the market for up to 150,000 square feet to relocate from its present space on Hillside Avenue in Greenburgh. This, too, may turn out to be a CBD transaction. The study on the White Plains MetroNorth station continues. It seems like there

are a lot of opinions by citizens about pedestrian, bicycle and vehicular access and parking. However, I am not reading much about any significant dining or retail being included. Given the large amount of office space in this area, as well as more than 1,000 residential units nearby that are in place or under development, I think these amenities and services are desperately needed in this section of the CBD. Since Ivy Properties took over White Plains Plaza at 1 N. Broadway and 445 Hamilton Ave. last year, they have been busy working on major overhauls to everything from lobbies to the parking structure. This will make these buildings much more formidable competitors in the part of the downtown with the most services and amenities.

Summertime and the living is easy…or is it? While summer is great for soaking up the sun at the beach, picnicking and vacation, it can be a logistical and expensive nightmare for working parents. Only 25 percent of households have a parent who stays at home, leaving the rest to cobble together activities during the summer break from school. Even those with a parent at home full time seek recreational opportunities. Nonprofits help fill that gap. Westchester’s 38 libraries offer free summer reading programs that encourage learning and skill development during the hiatus from school. Both Greenburgh Nature Center and Teatown run summer camps along with numerous environmental education programs. The YMCA of New Rochelle, YMCA of Rye, Boys & Girls Club of Mount Kisco, and the YWCA of White Plains and Central Westchester include highly regarded swimming lessons as part of their summer camp programs. Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts offers its Dancing at Dusk series of affordable, family friendly, and interactive outdoor concerts where kids and adults can dance the night away — but still make it home at a decent hour for bedtime. While summer day camps in Westchester can run upwards of $700 per week, all of these programs mentioned above are made affordable through a combination of private donations and government grants. These low rates can be further reduced by scholarships. How? Nonprofits fundraise year round and use a combination of donations and government grants to close the -Joanna Straub gap between program fees and actual expenses.

Special Report — From page 17

Office Partners sold the 71,000-squarefoot office segment of the Ritz-Carlton, Westchester for $20.7 million, or about $290 per square foot, an excellent price in our market. As soon as Reckson became a partner in this project, they spearheaded a successful leaseup of a building that had not seen much activity for quite a while. For comparison, two other sales in Westchester were the former Webb School, now an office building, in Hartsdale at $128 per square foot and 140 Huguenot St. in New Rochelle at $100 per square foot. In Armonk, 100 Business Park Drive has been sold for $9 million, or $150 per square foot. This 60,000-square-foot flex building on 11.3 acres has been on the market for a significant amount of time. It is not known whether the buyer is an owner-user or an investor, and there is potential for additional development on this site.

MEDICAL SURGES AGAIN AFTER A PAUSE

After taking a brief hiatus, the pace of medical deals has increased again. Hospital for Special Surgery’s 50,000-square-foot lease at RPW’s 1133 Westchester Ave. was the largest deal of the first quarter. This will be the biggest outpatient center in its system. With this addition, the 85,000-square-foot WestMed building at 3030 Westchester Ave, the WestMed building at 210 Westchester Ave., Memorial Sloan Kettering’s new facility at 500 Westchester Ave. and Healthcare Trust of America’s medical office park, the Platinum Mile is really looking like the Medical Mile. Montefiore Medical Center’s 28,430-square-foot renewal at MackCali’s 4 Executive Boulevard in Yonkers this year is more significant than it would seem. The hospital system purchased the 300,000-square-foot former Kraft research facility in Tarrytown a couple of years ago. It was occupying about half of it while Kraft remained in place in the other half. Then Kraft asked for, and received, an early exit. So

White Plains Hospital quietly leased an entire 50,000-square-foot building on Post Road in White Plains last year to relocate administrative operations off its campus.

Harrison has been a leader in approving well-thought-out repurposing of obsolete buildings. The portion of the Platinum Mile in that town contained some of the oldest office buildings in Westchester. LifeTime Fitness, the Residences at Corporate Park Drive, Memorial Sloan Kettering and Fordham University are just some of the examples of how the town has helped revitalize this key section of the Interstate 287 corridor. The White Plains side of the Platinum Mile has slightly newer office product with higher occupancy rates. Normandy Real Estate Partners, which owns seven buildings on the White Plains side of the highway as well as all of Corporate Park Drive on the Harrison side, has done a significant amount of leasing in the last few years as they market the White Plains portion of their portfolio

COUNTY ASSOCIATION ON THE CUTTING EDGE

The Westchester County Association is working hard to bring Westchester into the future. It recently held a smart-growth meeting, which included participants from business, academia, not- for-profit organizations, land use professionals, developers and others. The purpose was to brainstorm answers to the pressing questions on how the market can adapt to the way business is done today. Breakout groups included those on infrastructure, mobility, planning and financing for smart growth, housing for the workforce and millennials and branding and marketing of Westchester. A couple of months ago, the WCA also held a seminar featuring the mayor of Chattanooga, Tenn., the most internet-connected city in the country, a developer of co-working space from Raleigh, N.C., an education advocate from Austin, Texas, and the former commissioner of economic development for New York City during the Bloomberg administration. This was an all-star panel with great ideas that are working in other cities. There are a lot of smart people at the Westchester County Association table, and I look forward to good ideas coming out of these meetings to move Westchester forward.

EMPIRE STATE REALTY TRUST DOING SOME THINGS DIFFERENT

I always call out examples of good marketing where I find them, and I have found them at 10 Bank St. and 500 Mamaroneck Ave. Owner Empire State Realty Trust is doing the usual capital improvements, including new and expanded fitness centers and cafeteria and lobby renovations. But they are also taking a long-term approach and marketing space that is not yet in their inventory. Some blocks of 20,000 to 42,000 square feet space in their Westchester buildings have been on the market for years as short-term subleases. Instead of watching these “get stale,” the building ownership has taken it upon itself — with the permission of the tenants, of course — to demolish these empty spaces and present them as clean, open, welllit “white boxes.” Now prospective tenants can see them as “clean slates” and envision them as the starting point for new, modern installations. The spaces look more attractive and have already attracted interest from new prospective tenants. Being marketed by the owner, this also avoids the complicated, multi-stage process of a tenant having to make a sublease deal with the existing tenant, then negotiating with the owner to extend it, etc. The owner is being proactive. And whether a deal happens or not, the existing tenants are still paying the rent. If a new tenant is attracted, it will lease the space for many more years than are left on the existing term.

money and effort now that will pay off in the future. And the tenants who have just a few short years on their leases will benefit as well. Empire State Realty Trust has also been at the forefront of taking a page out of New York City’s book by pre-building empty spaces. As tenants vacate, the owner demolishes the old installation and puts in a new one. Some have open ceilings, all have full glass fronts in the offices and conference rooms, and feature open kitchens with granite countertops and interesting carpet tiles. They all have a great “wow factor” with sunny open views throughout the spaces. ESRT has already had success in leasing some units and has expanded some tenants from smaller prebuilts to larger ones. The concept is that when the next tenant vacates, new paint and carpet will once again make these spaces new and attractive. It takes a capital investment but shortens the leasing cycle, and is really “heads up” marketing.

FLEX IS FLEXING ITS MUSCLES

Mack-Cali has long had the flex or office/ warehouse market corned in Westchester. Its predecessor company originated the product and populated the Route 9A corridor with it in Elmsford and Hawthorne and created the South Westchester Executive Park in Yonkers. They are taking it to the next level now by building a new high-end warehouse building on the site of a demolished office building. It will have a 24-foot clearance, with 10 percent office space , and they are asking a big rent number. But my prediction is it will be rented before it is fully built. It will be the first new spec flex product built in more than 25 years. Mack-Cali is also looking strategically at options when spaces become vacant. This includes combining spaces and/or reconfiguring them to create the most valuable units possible — that is, by improving loading areas where possible. They are also demolishing old installations and showing clean shells — a much better marketing method than under their previous leadership. GHP Realty just bought 375 Executive Blvd in Elmsford. It was formerly the records storage building for Westchester County. There is about 61,000 square feet of its 81,500 square feet available for lease.

PROGRESS IS SLOW ON THE NORTH 60

John Fareri is proposing a major development on a site primarily owned by Westchester County in Mount Pleasant. It would include biotech labs, medical, office and other uses. The county legislature has to approve the land lease, and Fareri has been frustrated with the pace of its review. In my opinion, this is an important development for the west side of the county. It is particularly important in that we desperately need new laboratory space, as our current inventory is fully occupied. If we want to encourage this industry, we must provide new capacity. Assuming the land lease is approved, it will take years to get approvals from Mount Pleasant and additional years to build out the proposed 1.2 million square feet. We will lose momentum in the biotech industry versus existing competing buildings in Rockland County and New Jersey.

FINAL WORDS

In summary, leasing velocity in the office market is looking pretty good. Deal size is growing, and renewing tenants are often growing. I think most of the downsizing by the big corporations is past us. We are seeing some companies actually move into Westchester, which is great for the market. Medical deals are accelerating again after a pause last year, and office buildings and office building sites are being repurposed for higher and better uses. I will be very interested to watch residential leasing activity as the thousands of new multifamily units in the pipeline come to market over the next few years. I am sure the developers have done their analyses of demand in our market, but I see three things that need to happen. Empty nesters need to sell their homes and decide the rental apartment lifestyle is for them. Millennials have to move to or remain in Westchester in big numbers, and we need to have a strong employment base to attract employees to the county. All of these will be good for Westchester, and I think they will all be needed in order to fill these new buildings. And if they do, will older apartment buildings undergo Repurposing 2.0? Howard E.

The volunteer effort is part of Webster’s 80th anniversary celebration. An awards ceremony was held at the Radisson Cromwell Hotel in Cromwell, Conn. Linder’s volunteer effort earned $1,000 for the nonprofit of her choice — the Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) Family Services of Westchester County. Linder volunteered her time, as well as her cooking and decorating skills, to help ensure the success of the

annual holiday party held by BBBS. Linder is vice chairman of the organization’s advisory council. She supplied gingerbread cookies and ugly sweater cookies, along with all of the decorations the children needed to create their own culinary masterpieces for the Dec. 12, 2015 party in Port Chester. “The children were able to attend a wonderful party, receive a gift, complete a craft, get a meal, and we all shared in the holiday spirit,” Linder said. Linder spent 10 years as a Big Sister, and her little sister, who has aged out of the program, is still a major part of her life. In April, Linder became a big sister again.
