Developers seek state financing for New Rochelle affordable housing evelopers of a West End housing project in New Rochelle are cobbling together government financing to build lowrent apartments in a city in need of affordable housing. About 40 percent of renters in New Rochelle pay more than 30 percent of their income for housing, according to a state report. Nearly 18 percent of the city’s households use more than half of their income for housing. “New Rochelle has demonstrated a great need for affordable housing,” the state Homes and Community Renewal report says. The state Housing Finance Agency, a division of Homes and Community Renewal, is considering a request for financing that would alleviate the city rent crunch. The $27.3 million Craft Apartments project at Union Avenue and 1st Street consists of 75 units in a six-story building, with two ground-floor retail spaces and parking for 89 vehicles. The project site is close to the Metro-North train station and about a half-mile from Montefiore New Rochelle Hospital. The West End is the city’s most densely populated neighborhood and has the highest concentration of low-income households. These blue-collar, working-class streets are where many immigrants first started out, beginning with Germans and

Attorney sees franchise business in her debt relief practice

f you ask Leslie Tayne for her job title, she’ll likely come back with a list of answers. “I’m an attorney and a counselor at law. I’m a family practitioner,” she said. “I’m also a therapist. I tell people that I might not be a licensed therapist, but I’m a really great listener.” Tayne has spent 16 years as the owner of Tayne Law Group, a debt relief law firm she founded on Long Island that now has offices in White Plains and Mount Kisco, along with a practice in Manhattan. “If you were sick, you’d go to the doctor,” she said. “When your finances are sick, you come to me.” While those suffering from difficult financial situations could file for bankruptcy, Tayne offers a different approach, one that includes a new financial strategy and monthly budgets. “The problem is, people often overlook the symptoms of financial issues and look for other alternatives. They look for loans, they look to family, they look to friends, they look for other ways to resolve the issue,” she said. “Here, we work together to solve the underlying issues of your debt. We go deeper to the root cause, and by resolving the root cause of the financial situation, it doesn’t recur.” Clients seek out Tayne for help with a number of financial struggles, whether they are parents who are unsure how to afford a new child coming into the family or a family struggling with a loss of income and piles of debt. “We’re living in areas where it is very expensive. The issues are that our income is not increasing at the rate that our expenses are increasing,” she said. “We’re not seeing the rapid growth in income we were seeing 20, 30 years ago.” Those problems are prevalent even in high-earning areas like Westchester County. “It’s not lower income,” she said. “People who have big jobs, who make substantial income, still don’t have enough to put money away. They’re meeting their expenses but they are not able to put money away in the bank, and that’s really a majority of the people we deal with.” Many business owners are also dealing with a more expensive financial environment, one that includes higher rent and “astronomical” increases in employee expenses. “In the medical world, all these smaller

practices are now being taken over by larger health care corporations,” she said. “The income doctors make isn't the same that it was. The opportunity to make more money is not there.” Financial professionals are facing similar issues in the wake of new regulations. “You can’t charge what you could charge in the past,” Tayne said. “You can’t earn the same numbers.” Tayne opened her first office in Melville only a few months prior to the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. “We had a lot of people who left jobs in Manhattan and took real big pay cuts to come out to Long Island or come to Westchester,” she said. “A lot of people had losses of income and a lot of businesses shut down. It really branched out to have a financial impact that lasted a very long time.” The domino effect of the attacks led to an increase in her firm’s business, she said. Many of her clients would later include first responders, firefighters and city police personnel with mounting medical bills. “There were a lot of people who came to us with financial issues, because if you’re not working and you can’t pay your bills, you end up relying on credit cards. With the backlog and a loss of income, you’re not going to get a check that makes up for that, so now you’re stuck with the credit card debt, and you’re not sure how to deal with it.” Similarly, Tayne said she continues to see the aftereffects of Hurricane Sandy.
“If you’re struggling to make ends meet and meet your expenses in the first place, it’s difficult,” she said of a natural disaster like Hurricane Sandy. “You might have insurance, but insurance is not going to cover all of it. FEMA will come along and offer you some money, but then there’s a loan process and a loan that has to be paid back.” Despite the sometimes dire situations faced by her clients, Tayne said it is not difficult for her to maintain a positive outlook. “I love what I do because I can fix it, I can fix these things,” she said. “There are some sad stories, there’s no doubt, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel.” After beginning her career as a criminal defense attorney, Tayne landed a job as chief in-house counsel to National Consumer Debt Resolution Co., a debt settlement, credit consolidation and debt reduction company. “It was something I would never have dreamed I would ever have been doing,” she said. That job sparked a passion for Tayne, who spent only two years with the company before branching out and starting her own firm on Long Island in 2001. “I never could have imagined I would be where I am today,” she said. “I’ve seen it all, so there's nothing you could come to me about that I haven’t seen. You could be financially naked with me and there’s nothing you could show me that will shock me.” Tayne is expanding her firm nationwide through her debt resolution franchise program. The company is looking into a number of markets to open new practices. “We’re looking all over New York, in Buffalo, Rochester, northern Westchester and Rockland County,” she said. “The Houston area would be a perfect area, because we know Houston is going to have this need, and we just know that’s what’s next for them” in the wake of Hurricane Harvey. Tayne said the franchising model made sense for her practice, because it allows flexibility for new partner attorneys and the ability to own their own business. “For us, it’s not a sprint. It’s a marathon,” she said. “We don’t want to expand too early.” She said she expects to open two to four franchises initially. “When you want to open burger joints, it makes sense to get them up as quickly as possible so you can get your name out there,” she said. “For us, we want to meet quality attorneys that we can have longterm relationships with, that we can help build successful practices. We don’t just want to give you the formula. We want to be there and be partners and make sure that it’s really successful.”

HEALTH CARE
SENIOR VPS NAMED AT WMC HEALTH NETWORK
Westchester Medical Center Health Network has appointed three women with public-sector experience to new leadership positions at the Valhalla-based regional hospital network. Appointed were Susan Gerry, as senior vice president for strategic alliances and partnerships; Kelly MacMillan, as senior vice president for government relations; and Mecca Santana, as senior vice president for diversity, inclusion and community engagement. Gerry most recently served as deputy mayor of Yonkers under Democratic Mayor Mike Spano and has also served as a policy adviser to Gov. Andrew Cuomo. WMCHealth officials said she will focus on creating strategic relationship in the communities of all WMCHealth entities. MacMillan formerly served as director of public infrastructure products at Empire State Development, the state's economic development agency, where she oversaw construction of the Gov. Mario M. Cuomo Bridge. She will focus on fostering relationships with government agencies and public officials in WMCHealth communities. Santana formerly worked for the New York City Department of Education as its chief diversity officer and executive director of equal employment opportunity and diversity management. She will direct the deployment of WMCHealth's diversity and inclusion initiatives. WMCHealth's 1,700-bed health care system includes its three-hospital campus in Valhalla and a total of 10 hospitals on eight campuses throughout the Hudson Valley.
physicians, nurse practitioners, pharmacists and pediatric subspecialists in cardiology, dentistry, orthopedics and pulmonology. She will also supervise quality improvement and safety, health information management, respiratory therapy services, infection control and prevention and laboratory services and the 201,000-square-foot facility, the largest provider of children’s post-acute care in the U.S. A board-certified pediatrician and graduate of Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx, Iannotti has spent her entire career in Westchester County, beginning at a private practice in Yonkers more than 20 years ago. She comes to the Seton center from Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital in Valhalla, where she was associate chief of general pediatrics and pediatric hospitalist medicine for 12 years. “Dr. Iannotti is highly regarded and considered a thought leader in children’s health care,” said Seton Pediatric Center CEO Patricia Tursi in the announcement. “Her relationships in the community, as well as her excellent reputation for working with
children with complex medical needs, will be extremely valuable as we continue to set the bar for how care should be delivered in a post-acute setting.” “The opportunity to be chief medical officer at the Elizabeth Seton Pediatric Center allows me to bring 23 years of experience and passion for pediatric medicine and special needs children to a place devoted to them,” Iannotti said. “My goal is simple: we will be the best place to be for every child that needs us.”
CONTRAFECT APPOINTS RICCIARDI AS COO
Contrafect Corp., the Yonkers-based biotechnology company developing protein and antibody therapeutics for infectious diseases, appointed Lisa Ricciardi as chief operating officer. Ricciardi will continue to serve in her role as a director of ContraFect. “Lisa has a unique blend of commercial, business development and overall operational experience that will be extremely helpful to Contrafect as our internal pipeline programs
advance towards commercialization and we continue to evaluate business development strategies to accelerate value creation," said Steven C. Gilman, Contrafect's chairman and CEO. “Lisa has been a valuable member of our board of directors since she joined in February, and we look forward to having her contribute full-time to support the continued growth of Contrafect." Ricciardi has previously served as senior vice president of global corporate and business development at Foundation Medicine and senior vice president of U.S. and international business development at Medco Health Solutions Inc. She was also a venture partner at Essex Woodlands Health Ventures. Additionally, she held several senior management positions at Pfizer. "I believe ContraFect has one of the most compelling new technologies in development to address the problem of antibiotic resistance,” Ricciardi said. — Ryan Deffenbaugh, John Golden, Aleesia Forni

Female leaders share insights, challenges in business ownership BY ALEESIA FORNI aforni@westfariinc.com
A
panel of female business leaders shared insights and challenges at the “Driving Your Business: Women at the Wheel” event on Oct. 17 at the Westchester Country Club in Rye. Kristina Benza, president and CEO of County Fabricators, urged attendees to take
time for themselves, no matter how much they have on their plate. “It’s a lot easier said than done,” said Benza, whose Pleasantville company has completed more than $12 million of work on the new Mario M. Cuomo Bridge. “The world is not going to come crashing down on you if you leave at 4:30 one day to go get a manicure or pedicure.” Benza, who used her life savings to buy out her father’s shares in the com-
pany to become its majority owner, said her upbringing as one of three daughters helped shape her outlook on her career. “(My father’s) motto was kind of, ‘Well, my daughters can do everything my sons would have done,’” she recalled, adding that “there was never any sexism in my house.” Still, Benza is not blind to the role her gender can sometimes play in her field. She recalled a recent trip to a trade show she attended with her uncle, Philip, who is her

company’s chief marketing officer. “I was starting to realize that nobody was talking to me,” she said of the various salespeople at the trade show. “And then my uncle would walk over to see what I was doing and they would flock to him.” Stacey Tompkins, president of Putnam Valley-based Tompkins Excavating, told attendees that maintaining a strong company culture is also important for business leaders. “My motto is that no prima donnas are allowed anymore in our company,” she said. “It’s very important when I’m interviewing every single person that comes through the door, we speak about our culture.” Part of her company’s culture includes reading books and having weekly discussions. “I’m very honest with people right up front, if you’re not comfortable with this, then don’t work here.” Tompkins said. At County Fabricators, Benza makes sure to keep a list of her employees’ birthdays and celebrate those yearly milestones. “We get a cake and we gather everybody around and we do a whole birthday thing,” she said. “You don’t realize how important those little things are to people.” Connecting with other women, both within and outside of their respective industries, is also key for each of the panelists. “You can ask so many questions, and you can contribute,” Maryann Croce, owner of the Norwalk auto repair shop, Croce’s Transmission Specialists. “There are so many skills that you take for granted — we just tend to do that.” During the event, which was presented by Citrin Cooperman & Co. LLP, panelists also imparted advice they wished they could share with their younger selves. “To my younger self, I would say ‘Take a stand,’” said Croce. Tompkins had similar words of wisdom for her younger self. “I wish someone had told me that ‘No’ is okay,” she said.

Trump — » » From page 1
(R-Tennessee) and Patty Murray (D-Washington) have reportedly reached a bipartisan deal to fund the subsidies, known as cost-sharing reduction payments, Congress still has to approve the plan. In Albany, Democratic officials have promised legal action against the Trump administration if the subsidies are cut off. On Oct. 13, New York Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman announced plans to file a lawsuit with 19 other state attorneys general challenging Trump’s withholding of the subsidies. “These subsidies make critical health care affordable for our most vulnerable,” Schneiderman said. “President Trump’s move to cut these subsidies is a reckless assault on the health care of thousands of New Yorkers and millions of Americans.” On Oct. 18, Schneiderman said he filed a motion to compel the federal government to pay the subsidies. Gov. Andrew Cuomo said that unable to pass legislation in Congress, Trump is attempting to “administratively dismantle the ACA bit by bit. His actions will slash benefits and raise premiums, and it will single-handedly destabilize insurance markets.” Trump has argued the subsidies rep-
resent a bailout to insurance companies and that the White House cannot lawfully disburse them. Trump characterized the executive order as a necessary step to address increasing health insurance premiums following the passage of the Affordable Care Act in 2010. “I just keep hearing ‘repeal and replace, repeal and replace,’” Trump said at the official signing for the order. “Well, we’re starting that process, and we’re starting it in a very positive manner.” Part of the order directs Secretary of Labor R. Alexander Acosta to consider expanding access to association health plans and allowing those plans to operate across state lines. This, according to the order, would allow small businesses across the country to join together for cheaper health care coverage. By crossing state lines, the plans could be exempted from certain benefits mandated at the federal level by the Affordable Care Act. Customers in states with more stringent coverage mandates, such as New York, could potentially buy into association plans regulated by states with lower coverage standards. That could mean cheaper plans, but also skimpier benefits. The 5,000-member American Hospital Association warned the executive order “will allow health
insurance plans that cover fewer benefits and offer fewer consumer protections. No one can predict future health care needs with complete certainty and such plans could put patients at risk when care is needed most.” James Newhouse, founder of Newhouse Financial and Insurance Brokers in Rye Brook, said he would be concerned about oversight for the plans. “The concept sounds great. The idea of people being able to have more choice is always good and the idea of finding ways to drive down prices is also good,” Newhouse said. “My concern is, who is responsible for oversight and coordination between federal and state regulators of association plans?” Newhouse asked. “Without adequate protections for consumers, it would not only be difficult to navigate problems with plans, it could also be difficult for the plan sponsor to know what jurisdiction is overseeing the plan.” The executive order also tells federal agencies to review rules to allow for additional use of cheaper short-term health insurance plans and employer health reimbursement arrangements. The executive order received mixed praise from national small business groups. Juanita Duggan, CEO of the National Federation of Independent Business, said

then Italians and Latinos. More than half of the residents, according to the 2010 census, were Hispanic or Latino. Local developer Louis J. Iacopetta paid $1.8 million for three parcels on Union Avenue, including Battaglia Brothers market, Win-Rite Plumbing and a warehouse. His Quintessential Associates LLC is teaming on the project with Regan Development Corp. of Ardsley. General contractor David Resetarits has a small interest in the project, according to the housing agency report. The development’s management company is Interstate Realty Management Co. and the architect is Edward Paul Butt Architects of New Hyde park. All 75 apartments are designated as affordable housing, with rents ranging from $901 to $1,835 a month. The units span 500 to 750 square feet, including 10 studios and 55 onebedroom and 10 two-bedroom apartments. Fifty-two units will be rented to people who make no more than 60 percent of Westchester’s median income, 12 units to people with developmental disabilities who make no more than 50 percent of the median, and 11 units to residents earning no more than 80 percent of the median income.

in a statement that Trump’s executive order advances NFIB’s effort “to remove penalties on small businesses for helping their workers buy health insurance.” NFIB has previously led a challenge to the Affordable Care Act in the Supreme Court. The National Small Business Association, however, was more cautious. Its CEO, Todd McCracken, said any regulations should be crafted carefully to avoid having healthier individuals “siphoned off into a lower-cost, benefit-light plan, leaving older, sicker people in unsustainable, costly insurance pools.” The New York Health Plan Association, which represents the state’s insurers, cautioned that the executive order could “undermine New York’s risk pool, creating new winners and losers, and reduce consumer protections by allowing new policies that don’t have to comply with certain rules required by the Affordable Care Act.” Most of the changes Trump’s executive order calls for involve federal rule changes that require internal review and a public comment period, a process that analysts expect to last months. As for the insurance subsidies, The New York Times reported on Oct. 17 that Trump did voice support for the potential bipartisan deal to fund them, though the report noted its passage is still not assured.

to seniors. The developers have asked the state housing agency for a $17 million, tax-exempt affordable housing revenue bond issue to fund a mortgage, an $8,960,000 mortgage loan and 4 percent tax credits worth more than $8 million over 10 years. The request is not a done deal. The state Housing Finance Agency was supposed to consider the proposal at its Oct. 12 meeting, but postponed action to get more information from the developers.
Other government funding sources for the project include another state tax credit for $308,798 annually and a $1.2 million loan from the state Office for People with Developmental Disabilities. The New Rochelle City Council has approved a tax abatement plan that will save the developers $6.7 million in property taxes over 30 years. The combination of state government bonds, loans and tax credits account for 87 percent of the project’s development costs.
lub Champion, a custom golf clubfitting retailer headquartered in suburban Chicago, will open a downtown White Plains store in a newly leased 2,537-square-foot space at 220 Main St. in the City Center complex. The store adjoins Blaze Pizza, which is scheduled to open soon in the former Atlanta Bread Co. storefront on Main Street in City Center. It is the first Westchester location for Club Champion, which operates 20 stores nationwide. City Center’s Indianapolis-based landlord, Kite Realty Group Trust, was represented in the lease deal by a brokerage team from RHYS, a Stamford-based commercial real estate firm, that included Jason Wuchiski, RHYS president and principal; Tyler Lyman, senior vice president, and Ryan Stranko, vice president. Bruce Shepard, of The Shopping Center Group’s New York City office, represented the tenant. “Club Champion Golf will be a welcome addition as a new vision for City Center continues to be ushered in,” said Stranko at RHYS. “The store will be a great resource for the avid Westchester golf community and will enjoy a prominent presence right in the middle of the city.” – John Golden

NONPROFIT SUES LANZA FOUNDATION OVER $500K PLEDGE
Westchester Children’s Association (WCA) is suing the Lanza Family Foundation for $500,000 for allegedly reneging on a pledge. The late philanthropist Patricia Lanza had proposed a $500,000 matching grant in 2013, according to the lawsuit filed in Westchester Supreme Court, and had challenged WCA to raise the same amount of money from new and existing donors in 2014. WCA says it satisfied all terms of the agreement. Lanza died in 2014 as the fundraising campaign was underway. Months later, in recognition of her pledge, WCA honored her by presenting her family with a posthumous award for distinguished service. But when WCA tried to collect the gift, the lawsuit says, it was told there would be no payment. “Knowing the sensitivity of the matter and acknowledging the high esteem in which Patricia Lanza was held in the philanthropic community,” the lawsuit says, “WCA made every effort to reach out to negotiate and resolve this matter.” Mrs. Lanza’s son, Louis, who is now president of the foundation, said he could not respond to the allegation because he has not seen the lawsuit. In a March email to Westchester Children's Association Executive Director Cora Greenberg, he wrote, “We are no longer in the position of giving large single donations like my mother once did, based on our desire to continue the Lanza Family Foundation for generations to come.” WCA was established in 1914. The mission of the White Plains organization, according to its most recent tax filing, is to “improve the lives of Westchester’s children by shaping policies and programs to meet their needs.” The Lanza foundation was founded in the late 1990s by Patricia and Frank Lanza, who died in 2006. He was a top executive and co-founder of a defense contractor, L-3 Communications Holdings, based at the PKF O’Connor Davies accounting firm in Harrison. The foundation has supported a variety of organizations around the world and had been focusing on Westchester issues. It’s support for the Westchester Children's Association began in 2009 with a modest $5,000 donation, followed by $10,000 gifts from 2010 to 2013. Patricia Lanza personally contributed $6.7 million to the foundation during the last three years of her tenure as president,
according to IRS tax records. The foundation made 103 grants totaling $7.4 million from July 2011 to June 2014. Her estate contributed more than $11 million to the foundation. During the past 2 ½ years, the foundation has made 28 grants totaling $536,910, according to IRS records.
CHAPPAQUA LAWYER DISBARRED FOR MISUSING CLIENT’S FUNDS
A Chappaqua lawyer has been disbarred for mishandling funds for an incapacitated nursing home client. Five appellate court justices ruled on Oct. 11 that Steven B. Cottler had committed professional misconduct. The disciplinary action began in 2015, after Cottler stopped paying the patient’s bills at Bainbridge Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in the Bronx. The nursing home petitioned Bronx Supreme Court to appoint a guardian to protect the patient’s interests. The court agreed, finding that Cottler had breached his fiduciary duty. He had been collecting $700 per month to carry out his duties when he was entitled to only $500 per month. He failed to explain why the nursing home bills had remained unpaid for many months. The court also notified the local attorney grievance committee of its findings. The committee found that Cottler had used a trust account for personal and business expenses. When the committee tried to examine Cottler under oath, he repeatedly asked for delays and he did not submit files that had been requested. Cottler responded that it was always his intention to cooperate but he had been hospitalized four times for respiratory and cardiac problems. Before practicing law, he said, he had a long career as a nursing home and hospital administrator. He had devoted his law practice to helping clients with Medicaid, longterm care, wills, guardianships and nursing home issues. He described his approach to caring for the elderly as “hands-on” and said he had faithfully served the incapacitated patient for many years. The appellate court suspended Cottler’s license in February and authorized a disciplinary proceeding. Notwithstanding his “good intentions and his various hospitalizations,” the court ruled, Cottler posed “an immediate threat to the public interest.” Cottler did not respond to several formal charges filed by the grievance committee. The five-judge appellate panel ruled that Cottler had defaulted by not responding. Cottler also has struggled with paying personal income taxes. Five federal tax liens have been filed against him in Westchester County for $341,266 from 1999 through 2015. One tax lien, for $19,556, has been satisfied. An attempt to contact Cottler for comment was unsuccessful. The telephone number for his Valhalla office was not in service.

BRIEFLY
OWNER OF BANKRUPT COMPANY SUED BY TRUSTEE
A U.S. Trustee has sued the owner of a bankrupt company for allegedly accounting for a $524,367 loan improperly. Marianne T. O’Toole, the trustee, accused TWB Michael J. Pareti, president and owner of KNM Sheet Metal Inc. in Beacon, Berardi ofWCBJ unjust enrichment and breach of fidu7.375” w in x 7.125” h ciary duty, a complaint filed on Oct. 9 in 3/3/17 U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Poughkeepsie. KNM filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization last year and the case was later converted to Chapter 7 liquidation.
Pareti of Cortlandt Manor did not respond to a voicemail message requesting comment. O’Toole said Pareti filed KNM’s 2015 income tax return showing $524,367 as a "loan to shareholder" from KNM. Pareti is the only shareholder. Pareti has a duty to repay the loan, she said, but has refused to do so. As a result, creditors have been damaged because money that could be used to pay debts has been diverted from KNM. O’Toole claims that Pareti, as the sole shareholder and officer, breached his fiduciary duty by allowing KNM assets to be diverted and by making distributions to himself instead of repaying the loan. The bankruptcy petition listed assets of $193,755 and liabilities of $897,304. The company had grossed nearly $1.8 million in 2015, more than twice as much as the previous year. A $653,000 debt to Sheet Metal Workers’ Local 38 Fringe Funds is listed
as the largest unsecured obligation. The union has since claimed that KNM owes $1,065,063 for unpaid fringe benefit contributions. Pareti claimed that the union rejected a payment plan and then refused to supply workers, forcing the company into bankruptcy. KNM’s bankruptcy filing also lists unsecured claims by Pareti, including $34,580 in wages and $22,000 for money he had loaned to the company. The filing does not disclose a KNM loan to Pareti. Pareti filed for personal bankruptcy in September, claiming assets of $584,050 and liabilities of $1,578,150.

CNR DISCOUNTS TUITION FOR UNION WORKERS
The College of New Rochelle has formed a partnership with 1199SEIU Training and Employment Funds, a regional health care labor management fund. The partnership will provide tuition discounts to members of 1199SEIU United Healthcare Workers East and contributing employers. New York City-based 1199SEIU United Healthcare Workers East is the largest health care union in the U.S. with 400,000 members. The Training and Employment Funds aim to ensure that members of the union have the skills and resources necessary to provide high-quality patient care. “We are excited to be partnering with The College of New Rochelle to provide our members with expanded access to high-quality educational opportunities,” said Denise Cherenfant, director of nursing education for 1199SEIU Training and Employment Funds. The discounts will apply for all programs at The College of New Rochelle, including the School of Arts & Sciences, the School of Nursing & Healthcare Professions and the graduate school. Kevin Cavanagh, the college’s executive vice president of strategy and planning, said this new affiliation allows the college and 1199SEIU “to further advance the education of the region’s health care professionals and in doing so improves the region’s health care overall.” The partnership will place an emphasis on the college’s registered nurse to bachelor of science degree in nursing program, a program that allows registered nurses to earn bachelor of science degrees in nursing, as well as the college’s master-level programs in nursing and public administration. — Bill Heltzel, Aleesia Forni

hat keeps you up at night, if you are a CFO? That’s the question posed to honorees at the Westchester County CFO of the Year Awards on Oct. 10 at The Briarcliff Manor. We live in an era of specialization, Bud Hammer, president of Atlantic Westchester Inc. in Bedford Hills, said of the vital work of chief financial officers. CFOs, he said, are not just the person in charge of payroll or the nuts and bolts of financing a business. They have to be both reactive and proactive, protecting assets and identifying opportunities. They have to be innovative and to think strategically for the long term, to enable a business to grow and flourish, he said. Nominees were judged by Andi Gray, founder of Strategy Leaders Inc.; Robert J. Chersi, executive director of the Center for Global Governance, Reporting and Regulation at Pace University; and Francis Petit, an associate dean at the Gabelli School of Business at Fordham University. The sixth annual event was presented by the Westchester County Business Journal and RSM, an audit, tax and consulting service that caters to middle — market companies. The winners were chosen for strategic thinking and management and leadership skills that exemplify how organizations grow. Geoffrey Barsky of Family Services of Westchester navigates difficult economic times as he oversees a $22 million budget. His organization relies on a variety of funding and donations, so cash flow is always on his mind. Steven M. Eigen of Central National Gottesman Inc. in Purchase, a privately
owned marketer of pulp and paper with 2,500 employees, said it all comes down to having the right people working for you. Peter A. Ferraro II is CFO of a family business, Westchester Self Storage. His success is dependent on adapting to an everchanging real estate market. Robert C. Hultgren of Reliable Automatic Sprinkler Co. has helped his Elmsford manufacturing company grow to $350 million, from $30 million, in 31 years. He worries about unpredictable business cycles. Tiffany Lakness, co-owner of ABC Energy in White Plains, a natural gas and electricity supplier, dwells on troubleshooting various scenarios. Jennifer Scheuermann of the Alzheimer’s Association, Hudson Valley Chapter, worries about the availability of funds, new regulations and the devastating impact of Alzheimer’s on families, communities and the nation. Chuck F. Schwartz of Paraco Gas thinks about the challenges of structuring acquisitions and ensuring smooth transitions and successful transactions. Christina Villanueva of United Hebrew retirement community in New Rochelle concentrates on the vagaries of health care funding, to make sure the staff has what it needs to take care of the residents. Christopher Jones is co-founder of Durante Rentals, a Bronx-based construction equipment business, for which he has raised more than $40 million in debt capital to fund growth. What keeps him up at night? “Not much,” he said. With a great team, great partners and a solid balance sheet, “Whatever comes our way, we’re ready for.” Four awardees were unable to attend: Daniel Fumai of ANC, Lee Bendett of Lothrop Associates LLP, Edward Bowler of USI insurance and Sandra Stark of BMW of Mount Kisco.

Register at: westchesterputnamonestop.com “Westchester has thriving businesses and the most educated workforce in the country, but connecting these businesses with qualified candidates can sometimes be a challenge,” said Astorino. “This Virtual Job Fair will help connect businesses with qualified candidates who are ready to take the next step in their career.” After registering online at www.westchesterputnamonestop.com, employers can post their available positions free-of-charge and have access to thousands of qualified workers who are ready to get to work. Job-seekers who register will be able to post their resumes and apply for open positions. “The Virtual Job Fair is a win-win for Putnam County businesses and residents,” said Putnam County Executive MaryEllen Odell. “Businesses who hire our residents will find that they possess the skills, education, training, professionalism and confidence to help their business grow, while enhancing the life of the communities in which they work and live.” “The benefits of a virtual job fair include the behind the scenes matching of qualified candidates across both counties to the available positions posted by employers making for a greater hiring pool than they might see by posting one job at a time,” stated Donnovan Beckford, Executive Director of the Westchester-Putnam One Stop Development Board. “By screening candidates for available jobs and facilitating the interview process at our locations, our One Stop Career Centers maximize efficiencies for both the candidates, who may interview for multiple jobs on the same day, and the employers who can see many qualified candidates in a shorter period of time. We also assist employers by conducting mini job fairs for companies who may have several open positions at the same time and eliminate the expense associated with conducting their own job fair at their location or offsite,” he added. Partner organizations include NYSDOL, Business Council of Westchester, Westchester County Association, Hospitality Resource Group, ACCES-VR, Yonkers Employment Center and Office of Work Activities (OWA), and Westchester’s Faith-Based Community Partnership.

Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center CEO Craig B. Thompson told a Westchester audience of business and health care professionals that the specialty cancer hospital is in the county to work with other care providers, not to compete. The role of its outpatient cancer center in Harrison, Thompson said, is to “be the innovation leader” and bring new forms of cancer treatment to all hospitals. “We’re here to add to and improve the health care quality of people who live in Westchester and work in Westchester… we’re not here to compete,” he said. Thompson made his comments as the keynote speaker at the Westchester County Association’s annual Health Tech conference on Oct. 12 at the Doubletree Hotel in Tarrytown. The half-day event featured panels and an awards presentation. Thompson gave a history of advances in cancer treatment and discussed how specialty hospitals can work with the county’s health care systems to provide better care. Memorial Sloan Kettering opened a 114,000-square-foot outpatient cancer facility in 2014 at 500 Westchester Ave., but Thompson noted the Manhattan-based cancer hospital’s roots in the county go back beyond that. The hospital operated for nearly 20 years at Phelps Hospital in Sleepy Hollow, before Phelps became part of the Northwell Health system in 2014. Thompson said cancer is now the No. 1 leading cause of death and hospitalization for people between ages 35 and 65, with cardiovascular disease a distant second. “Cancer is a really scary disease for the people in your company, the patients you care for,” Thompson said. “It’s what Americans fear most for the health of themselves and their family.” “The reality is,” Thompson said, “50 percent of males will get diagnosed with can-
cer and now… we used to say it was a third of women, this year it passes 40 percent.” Thompson said the first question he is typically asked, as CEO of the oldest and largest private cancer hospital in the country, is “Why haven’t we cured cancer?” “Well, we have,” Thompson said he typically responds. “We’ve cured a large number of cancers, and unfortunately cancer is a lot more complex disease than when we started off.” There are more than 400 types of cancer, he said, each requiring a different treatment and a different set of expertise. And progress has been made as treatment shifted from just chemotherapy to strategies that target individual types of cancer cells, Thompson said. Since 1990, there’s been a 1 percent decrease per year in the mortality of all forms of cancer in the U.S. More than 70 percent of cancer patients at Memorial Sloan Kettering are “alive and well” five years after diagnosis, according to Thompson. He stressed that Westchester has a number of medical centers that provide strong oncology care, but added that specialty hospitals such as Memorial Sloan Kettering provide an important second option. Memorial Sloan Kettering, he said, can offer more than 300 clinical trials in Westchester. He cited obesity as an example of the need for collaboration between health networks and specialty hospitals. For the last decade, obesity caused by an increasingly sedentary lifestyle has become the leading cause of preventable cancer in America. “We need a partnership with the other great accountable care organizations,” Thompson said. “We don’t do obesity, we don’t do diabetes” at Memorial Sloan Kettering. This was the fourth year for the Health Tech conference, which also featured panels on telehealth and the opioid crisis, along with a presentation on the future of the Affordable Care Act.

Sun Homes sees bright future in Rye Brook office park
REAL ESTATE
BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com
O
n a 31-acre plot of land behind a set of three-story, glasspaneled office buildings in Reckson Executive Park in Rye Brook, a flurry of activity on a recent Friday morning saw construction crews working between three newly built model homes, finishing hardwood floors, painting and installing cabinets. The single-family homes need to be ready by the end of this month when residential developer Sun Homes plans to officially unveil Kingfield, a $125 million planned neighborhood with 85 townhomes priced from $950,000 and 25 single-family homes priced from $1.4 million. Pawling-based Sun Homes expects to sell and construct the townhomes and single-family houses within the next two years. Once completed, the housing development will bring a final use for a desirable patch of land behind the six-building Rye Brook office portfolio that has remained in limbo for well over a decade. The office park is owned and operated by Reckson Operating Partnership LP, a division of SL Green Realty Corp in Manhattan. The single-family homes and townhomes from Sun Homes will offer a “maintenance-free” lifestyle, with amenities that include two-car garages and gourmet kitchens. The property, accessed from International Drive off Route 120A, will feature a half-mile of walking trails and a 3,200-square-foot clubhouse with a fitness center and outdoor pool and spa. The townhouse units will range from 2,400 square feet to 4,500 square feet, with different layouts and customization options. Ten percent of the units will be marketed at rents designated as affordable for families making 80 percent of area median income. Bill McGuiness, partner at Sun Homes, said the company specializes in townhomes “that offer zero maintenance on the outside, but on the inside offer very houselike size and finishes, such as a double garage. So it’s a houselike experience, without any of the headaches.” In Connecticut’s Fairfield County, Sun Homes, a partnership between McGuiness and Bob Dale, has developed Kensett, a 77-home community in Darien, and Palmer Hill, a 195-home community in Stamford. In

Westchester, it has developed The Willows at Crestwood, a 40-home townhouse community in Yonkers. Sun Homes became involved in the Rye Brook project when an executive at Reckson toured one of the model homes the company built in Darien in 2014. He liked the look of the home, McGuiness said, and called up the Pawling company to see if Sun Homes was interested in touring the Reckson Executive Park property for a possible housing development. Reckson was searching for a use for phase three of its Reckson Executive Park. About 40 acres of the 80-acre site is developed with six Class A office buildings comprising a total of 540,000 square feet. The 31 undeveloped acres offer quick access to the Hutchinson Parkway and abut Doral
Arrowwood Resort to its south and SUNY Purchase College to its west. The property was initially targeted by Reckson for another office building. The company submitted plans to the village of Rye Brook in the late '90s and received approval to build a 280,000-square-foot office building with 1,120 parking spaces. Reckson was unable to secure a major tenant for the building, however, and never followed through with the plans. In 2012, Reckson proposed a four-rink, 140,000-square-foot ice skating facility for the property. But those plans were withdrawn a year later amid community backlash. The company said at the time it would consider other options for the property. McGuiness said the property represented a clear opportunity for Sun Homes.
There had already been successful housing developments nearby in the Bellefair and Doral Greens neighborhoods. “It’s an excellent location,” McGuiness said. “The commute is good, there are a lot of services in the area and, while I wouldn’t call it a bargain, relative to Rye and Greenwich around it, there’s value there.” The Kingfield townhomes will be mostly three-bedroom, with some fourbedrooms available as well. The homes will be targeted especially to empty nesters and smaller households, such as young families starting out. Joshua M. Rogull, of Rogull Realty LLC and director of sales for Kingfield, said new housing construction has been in demand in Westchester, particularly the maintenance-free variety Buyers "want a community lifestyle and maintenance-free,” Rogull said. That group includes first-time buyers up from Manhattan and empty nesters who may have moved down to the city but are now coming back, he added. McGuiness said what makes Sun Home unique as a residential developer is that it handles every stage of home construction, including architecture, construction, sales and warranty. That offers the company the advantage of having full control over its product, McGuiness said. “We have our own style that we have developed over the last 15 years and a construction team we’re comfortable with,” McGuiness said. Sun Homes started site work on the project last fall and will open the furnished models on Oct. 28. The company is targeting next year for first occupancy.

Lowe’s development begins in Yorktown BY ALEESIA FORNI aforni@westfariinc.com
A
fter the better part of a decade, a Garden City-based developer has finally reached the first phase of construction on a vacant parcel on Crompond Road in Yorktown. Breslin Realty Development Corp. plans to build a 121,000-square-foot Lowe’s home improvement center, a 7,600-square-foot restaurant, a 4,500-square-foot restaurant and a 4,000-square-foot business. “I’m a little numb after nine long years,” the development company’s CEO Wilbur F. Breslin said of the planning process. “I’ve been here before and I’ve had projects that make this look like a fast track. I’m kind of used to it.” Breslin said his company is in talks with two restaurants and a third business to take up the three additional spaces at the planned development, though nothing has yet been confirmed. “It’s a little premature,” he said. Demolition work on the property’s existing dilapidated and graffiti-covered structures began earlier this month. Construction could begin in January with the stores opening later next year, Breslin said. The long-vacant site was formerly

occupied by the Yorktown Country Inn, which closed more than 20 years ago. The property was last used as a county-run homeless shelter. An October groundbreaking for the roughly $70 million project marked a milestone in what has been a long road for Breslin’s company, which has been in talks to develop the property since 2009. The development replaces a previ-

ously approved 151,092-square-foot Costco and a members-only gas fueling station on the 19-acre parcel near the intersection of Crompond Road and Taconic State Parkway. The Yorktown Planning Board approved the $60 million project in November 2015. Costco’s project hit a snag when its onsite gas station was strongly opposed by independent gas station owners in Yorktown. Yorktown Smart Growth, a citizens development watchdog group, Yorktown Gas Mart Inc. and Quick Stop Central Ave. Inc. filed a lawsuit against town officials and Breslin Realty Development claiming the big-box store would hurt area gas station owners and sought to have the town’s approval of the project overturned. After years of delays and roadblocks, Costco ultimately pulled out of the project in 2016.
Yorktown Supervisor Michael Grace said he hopes Costco will look elsewhere in the town to develop a store, though no new plans have been proposed. While the Costco project spent years in the planning stages, the Lowe’s development was approved just three months after it was proposed to the planning board. Town officials have said that spreading the project risk and the wealth to four businesses rather than a single business is an advantage, along with the additional tax revenue those additional businesses would provide. Breslin credited a more diversified site plan, one that includes additional businesses along the front of the site and “a superb job” by Grace and the town’s planning director, John A. Tegeder, for the relatively speedy approval process.

VA mortgage loans for veterans include multi-unit residences
o understand the benefits of the VA Home Loans mortgage program is to fully understand just how far-reaching those benefits really are. The residential lending program of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs extends to multi — unit properties, affording all the provisions and protections of normal VA lending for veterans making those purchases. VA loans, which are provided by private lenders, go through regular channels to get approved and funded. A veteran — including retired and active-duty military veterans, reservists and National Guard — works with a local Realtor or directly through a mortgage lender and processes an application as any home mortgage loan gets processed. Assuming the vet and the property meet the criteria established for multi — unit housing, the loan is ultimately approved and closed by the mortgage lender. The Department of Veterans Affairs guarantees a portion of the loan so that private lenders may provide more favorable terms to borrowers, but the VA never deals directly with the veteran consumer. Only 9 percent of eligible veterans are even aware of these home loan benefits, according to John W. McDade, a mortgage loan officer at iServe Residential Lending LLC in San Diego. A veteran himself, John spends much of his time circling the U.S. on behalf of his company, educating Realtors and fellow veterans on the unique VA financing available to American veterans. In a typical multi — unit transaction, the rules are fairly simple. A veteran seeks and finds a property of one to four units. VA benefits are not available for investment properties, so the veteran plans to live in one of the units. Multi — unit residential financing with a VA loan may have all the benefits and more of single-family purchases — up to 100 percent financing, highly competitive interest rates and no mortgage insurance requirements. A qualified buyer may borrow up to 100 percent of the appraised value of the property, up to the countywide maximum, as established by the VA. These values can be found at the VA website at homeloans. va.gov. A borrower would only be required to put down 25 percent of the amount exceeding the countywide limit, should the property exceed the established threshold. Property appraisals are done by the VA, so appraisal costs are generally lower than typical FHA or USDA property appraisals. The VA will qualify a veteran to use the projected cash flow from projected rents in their income calculations, provided the
A qualified buyer may borrow up to 100 percent of the appraised value of the property, up to the countywide maximum, as established by the VA.
purchasing veteran has at least two years’ experience as a landlord or property manager. The VA allows a buyer to count 75 percent of the projected rents as verifiable income if the buyer hires a property manager or property management company to manage the operations of the property — including rent collection, upkeep and maintenance — to ensure the continuing fair conditions of the collateral property. Property management fees for multifamily units are generally minimal and not prohibitive in the overall costs of ownership and management. With a shortage of starter and first-time homes available for purchase nationwide, many veterans and their families are find-
ing that multi — unit home ownership provides them more than adequate housing for their families with a cash flow that, in most cases, covers the costs of their mortgages and property insurance. With rising equity rates throughout the U.S., these investments may yet prove worthwhile options to our veterans seeking housing in today’s market.

Fareri opens Villa BXV condos in Bronxville BY JOHN GOLDEN
$1.1 and range up to $3.6 million for penthouses with rooftop terraces. Bronxville Mayor Mary Marvin in a statement on the Villa BXV opening said the redevelopment “fits in perfectly, provides wonderful new residential opportunities, many of which have been taken by village residents who are downsizing from large homes, and replaces what has long been an underutilized site.” “In many ways,” said the mayor, “it has been the missing piece in the downtown and now it has been seamlessly filled with this great new building.”

F
areri Associates, the Greenwichbased developer of residential, commercial and office properties, has opened Villa BXV, a 53-unit condominium complex on Kensington Road in downtown Bronxville. The roughly two-year construction project was completed by The Gateway Development Group, a Fareriowned company. Eighty percent of the condos have been sold and buyers have been moving into the building, according to a Fareri Associates spokesperson. The Kensington Road property immediately adjoins the Metro-North Railroad Harlem Line tracks and is the former site of the Lawrence Park Heat, Light and Power Co. plant. The village bought the vacant, environmentally contaminated property in 1986 and in 2004 selected WCI Communities Inc. to develop a 110,000-square-foot condominium building and 300-space parking garage there. But with the 2008 housing market collapse, WCI filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, reportedly due mostly to bad investments in the Florida real estate market. The Village Board, which had approved WCI site plans, in 2014 revived the development effort with a new request for proposals and selected developer John Fareri’s company. Construction of the project, designed by Sullivan Architecture of White Plains, began in mid-2015. The challenging development required deep excavation, including the removal of 20,000 cubic yards of contaminated soil, to build a 309-space parking garage, of which 203 spaces are reserved for public use by Bronxville residents, shoppers and merchants. “Construction of this nature is commonplace in Manhattan or other major urban downtowns, but rare in a community like Bronxville,” said James Carnicelli, president of The Gateway Development Group in Greenwich. He said the job required extensive coordination with both Metro-North officials and the village in monitoring truck traffic to and from the site. The one-, two- and three-bedroom condos range in size from 1,300 square feet to more than 2,000 square feet. Prices start at

ational Realty & Development Corp. is headquartered in Purchase and has built projects in 14 states, but it has avoided Westchester County. Westchester has too many smart people finding ways to hinder developments, Jerry Bermingham, executive vice president of development and acquisitions, told a crowd gathered Oct. 11 at the southern tip of Davenport Neck in New Rochelle. But when he heard that the 14.7-acre Beckwith Pointe beach club on the Long Island Sound was available, he had to take a look. “I fell in love with it,” he said. But there were a few pesky details. The property was zoned for singlefamily houses, for which there was little demand. Hurricane Sandy in 2012 had exposed the peninsula’s vulnerability to flooding and had resulted in more stringent regulations. And NRDC was wary of a tendency by municipal governments in general to thwart developments. Despite loving the location, Bermingham’s answer was “No.” Then Robert C. Baker, NRDC’s chairman and CEO, took a look. He also fell in love with the site, and he concluded that this place would be successful. “We’re selling water views,” he said at the groundbreaking for the $100 million WatermarkPointe condominiums. “There are no views like this anyplace.” NRDC found an eager partner in the city of New Rochelle. City officials orchestrated the regulatory process and enacted new zoning to allow condominiums. NRDC scaled back plans for 140 units to 72 — nine four-story buildings and a clubhouse — at the behest of the city. The designs put the buildings above flood level. Demand, Bermingham said, has been strong. Twenty-five contracts have been signed and the first three buildings are sold out. NRDC is selling two models. The Beachcomber, at 2,480-square-feet, has two bedrooms, a den and two-and-ahalf bathrooms. The Aurora, at 2,717-squarefeet, has three bedrooms and three-and-ahalf bathrooms. Both models include a 30-foot-wide terrace, “gourmet” kitchens and “spa” bathrooms. Last year a city official said the units were to sell for $1.5 million to $2.5 million.
Hospital for Special Surgery opens Westchester outpatient center BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com
A
s Hospital for Special Surgery celebrated the launch of its 50,000-squarefoot outpatient facility in White Plains on Oct. 18, HSS CEO and President Louis A. Shapiro acknowledged it took some creativity to work out the plans for its new home at 1133 Westchester Ave. “Beautiful campus, but to really do this project you needed to have a vision,” Shapiro said. “Because this building that we're in now was not pretty. It was concrete.” The building was a former data center for IBM at the 620,000-square-foot complex, which is owned by Rye Brook-based RPW Group. Shapiro stood in front of tall, sunny windows in a fully renovated version of that same building to cut the ceremonial ribbon for HSS Westchester, which the leaders of the Manhattan-based orthopedic hospital said is its most comprehensive regional care center to date. Hospital for Special Surgery, on 70th Street on Manhattan's Upper East Side, is the nation’s oldest orthopedic hospital and is consistently ranked as a top hospital in the country by U.S. News & World Report. The hospital was ranked first nationally in orthopedics and third in adult rheumatology on the magazine’s 2017-18 list. “Over the course of time as we have continued to grow and develop and build our main campus, we’ve recognized that we need to make the caliber of care you get when you come to the city available to people closer to where they live and work,” Shapiro said. About 10 percent of patients in the Manhattan hospital come from Westchester County, according to hospital officials. The White Plains facility will offer patients rehabilitation services, including aquatics and concussion therapy, along with sports performance services such as motion analysis, return-to-play testing and training. Medical staff and patients will have access to 20 exam rooms, three X-ray machines and an MRI suite. “People come from all over the world to get an MRI from HSS,” said Andrew Pearle, a Rye resident and orthopedic surgeon named medical director for HSS Westchester. “We’re bringing that technology here, so you don't have to schlep into the city to get your MRI or to get your X-ray.”
The Westchester outpatient center will have 25 physicians available to see patients and a support staff of about 20. The hospital said it expects that number to grow by the end of the year. The doctor specialties include adult reconstruction and joint replacement, foot and ankle, pediatric orthopedics, physiatry, sports medicine and rheumatology. The Westchester center expands on the hospital’s outpatient network, which includes an 18,000-square-foot facility at Chelsea Piers Connecticut in Stamford. The hospital also has outpatient centers in Queens, Long Island, New Jersey and several sites in Manhattan. Also this month, Hospital for Special Surgery will open HSS Orthopedics at Stamford Health, a collaboration with Stamford Hospital. Hospital for Special Surgery is the latest medical provider to launch or expand facilities along the Interstate 287 corridor, which has become a magnet for outpatient centers and medical offices. Memorial Sloan Kettering opened a 114,000-square-foot outpatient cancer facility in 2014 at 500 Westchester Ave. in Harrison and Westmed Medical Group opened an 85,000-square-foot medical office at 3030 Westchester Ave in Purchase in 2015. RPW Group CEO Robert P. Weisz described the I-287 corridor as “the spine” of the county, which he said is part of what draws medical providers to the area. “There is no more convenient location,” Weisz told the Business Journal. “So as a result we see that some of the large medical institutions are locating along I-287. And I think the future is more of that mixed use, where we have office space, residential, some retail and, of course, the medical facilities that are so essential to the population.” Weisz described Hospital for Special Surgery as the final piece for a renovation process at 1133 Westchester Ave. that started when his company bought the 80-acre property 12 years ago. The company rebuilt the 20,000-square-foot atrium in the center of the campus, with a fitness center, a small shop, an executive dining room and cafeteria. “HSS is the last piece of the puzzle, complementing the entire project,” Weisz said. “We cannot ask for a better tenant in terms of reputation and quality of service. We think the structure of the building will work out very well because it's a building within a building, where they can be totally independent but still have services available to them.”

eal estate sales in the lower Hudson Valley saw a slight slowdown during the third quarter, according to market analysts at the Hudson Gateway Association of Realtors. Third-quarter property sales were down less than 0.5 percent year over year across the region, with 5,646 sales of single-family houses, condominiums, cooperatives and two- to four-family buildings in Westchester, Putnam, Rockland and Orange counties. In Westchester, sales fell 0.6 percent compared with the same period last year, following a trend seen in both Rockland and Putnam counties, where sales fell 5.2 percent and 8.2 percent, respectively. The only exception was Orange County, where sales increased by 7.9 percent year over year. Market analysts cited a lack of inventory as the primary driver of the “spotty” sales figures. End-of-quarter inventory was down 8.6 percent in Westchester compared with the same period last year, while Orange and Putnam counties saw a 16 percent decrease in inventory year over year. Inventory fell 15 percent in Rockland County compared with the third quarter of 2016. “Inventory has been consistently lower each quarter in each of the last four years, which could indicate a headwind for healthy sales numbers going forward,” analysts noted. “It is difficult to ascertain at what point rising prices, due to lack of supply, will begin to affect sales.” Low inventory is especially an issue for more affordable starter homes in Westchester County, according to a report from Houlihan Lawrence, the Rye Brookbased real estate brokerage firm. Homes priced under $500,000 in Westchester saw a 25.1 percent drop in the number of active listings year over year, falling from 686 homes for sale in 2016 to 514 homes in 2017. Similarly, the number of pending sales in that price range dropped 18.6 percent. Despite a year-over-year decline, housing sales still remain “unusually heavy” across the region, according to The Elliman Report, a market analysis from New York-based Douglas Elliman Real Estate. The report noted that housing sales across Westchester, Dutchess and Putnam counties reached the third-highest figures seen since 1982. “This can largely be attributed to the continued influx of buyers from the city who are seeking out greater affordability for both primary and second homes,” said
Scott Durkin, Elliman’s chief operating officer. “The Hudson Valley, in particular, is proving to be an eventual competitor to the affordable second-home market.” Year-to-date sales figures also continue to trend “significantly higher” than the previous year for most of the region, Hudson Gateway analysts said. Factors, including attractive mortgage rates, high employment and a healthy economy, “should be an indication that the market will remain vibrant,” the report stated. Westchester, the region's most populous county and the county with the highest number of sales, recorded a median sale price of $680,000 for a single-family home, up 1.8 percent from $668,000 for the same period last year, according to Hudson Gateway. Orange County saw the largest percentage increase in sales price at 4.3 percent, from $245,000 to $255,000 year-over-year. In Rockland County, the median sale price rose 3.7 percent to $445,000 for the third quarter. The median sale price in Putnam County of $340,000 was unchanged compared with the same period last year. In Westchester, the luxury market continue to show signs of weakness during the quarter, with a 13.5 percent drop in the number of sales, according to Houlihan Lawrence. However, the segment’s median sale price increased 5 percent to $2.62 million. “The market continues to remain soft at the top on a price basis as the luxury market saw prices slip after edging higher over the past year,” said Jonathan Miller, author of the Elliman Report. Across the state line in Greenwich, though, the luxury market is seeing a resurgence. Houlihan Lawrence analysts noted that homes priced at $3 million or higher saw a 10.5 percent increase in the number of sales year over year, and a median sale price of $4,427,500, up 6.7 percent from last year. In Darien, the number of luxury sales shot up 123.1 percent, with 29 homes sold this quarter compared with 13 in the same quarter last year, though the median price dipped 8 percent. "Market — sensitive initial pricing continues to be a key driver in reducing days on market and achieving the highest possible selling price in today’s market,” said David Haffenreffer, branch manager of Houlihan Lawrence’s Greenwich office. “Buyers today, in many cases, won't even visit a home that they determine is mispriced when they see it online. This puts pressure on sellers to resist the temptation to fish for an unrealistic price when coming to market.”
Medical leasing makes for healthy 3Q office market BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com
M
edical leasing helped propel the Westchester County office market to what analysts described as a strong third quarter overall, building on steady growth in the first half of the year. Westchester’s office market recorded 535,813 square feet of total leasing activity during the third quarter, up from 455,866 square feet in the second quarter, a 17.5 percent increase, according to the quarterly report from CBRE Group Inc. “While market indicators show Westchester County trending in a positive direction for 2017 as a whole, the third quarter was constant when compared to the previous two quarters,” said William V. Cuddy Jr., executive vice president at CBRE’s Stamford office. The availability rate in the county dropped to 22.4 percent in the third quarter, down from 23.42 percent posted in the third quarter a year ago, according to CBRE. That helped drive up average asking rents, which increased to $28.54 per square foot from $27.81 per square foot last quarter, CBRE reported. Colliers International Group Inc. also reported Westchester’s overall availability rate at 22 percent in the third quarter, though the firm noted that number was flat from second-quarter availability. After a strong half-year of office leasing to start 2017, Westchester County’s office market “took a breather in the third quarter,” noted Jeffrey Williams, market leader and executive managing director in the Stamford office of Colliers. Medical leasing led much of the activity in the county, accounting for seven of the 10 largest deals, according to Colliers. The largest lease deal last quarter was the Montefiore Health System’s renewal and expansion for 281,497 square feet of space at South Westchester Executive Park in Yonkers, Cushman & Wakefield reported. Other major medical leases included CareMount Medical PC taking 38,799 square feet at 34 S. Bedford St. in Mount Kisco and Greenwich Hospital signing on for 19,897 square feet of space at 90 S. Ridge St. in Rye Brook, as reported by Colliers. Avison Young reported ENT and Allergy Associates LLP signed a lease for 15,490 square feet at 222 Bloomingdale Road in the White Plains Central Business District. “The continued strength and growth of the heath care sector bodes well for Westchester,” said James Fagan, Cushman & Wakefield managing principal in Stamford. “The county is seeing an increase in overall leasing demand as medical centers exponentially increase their leasing footprint.”
Cushman & Wakefield reported the county has added 270,477 square feet of occupancy growth and more than 1.1 million square feet in new leasing transactions to date this year. While the White Plains Central Business District saw a number of large new leases in the first half of the year, Jones Lang LaSalle ( JCC) Inc. noted there are few big blocks of space left in the city’s downtown. Only two buildings in the White Plains CBD can offer blocks of space larger than 50,000 square feet, according to JLL, the Westchester Financial Center at 11 Martine Ave. and 440 Hamilton Ave., which has been approved by the city for a residential conversion. Even without any new blockbuster deals, Colliers reported, downtown White Plains “continued its streak of being the star performer in Westchester.” Asking rents in the CBD were at $33.58 per square foot in the third quarter, down slightly from the second quarter but up about 4 percent from the same period last year, according to Colliers. Cushman & Wakefield reported that actual taking rents in the White Plains CBD were up more than 10 percent over the past year, while they remained flat in the county’s suburban markets over the same period. The northern part of the county remains troubled by the more than 1.6 million square feet of office space vacated by PepsiCo and IBM in Somers. Avison Young reported a 37 percent vacancy in the northern part of the county, more than double that of the county’s next highest region, the East I-287 corridor, which had a 17 percent vacancy rate. Avison Young reported the county’s overall office vacancy rate at 19.5 percent, unchanged from the second quarter. But the report noted that the county's vacancy rate would measure at 14 percent if not for the IBM and PepsiCo buildings in Somers. The East I-287 corridor continued its transition "from the 'Platinum Mile' to the 'Medical Mile,'" according to Colliers. The Greenwich Hospital lease in Rye Brook represented the largest deal in the submarket. While the 17 percent availability rate in the East I-287 corridor matches its second-quarter rate, it is down about 2 percent from the third quarter last year, according to Colliers. The county's southern submarket, which saw little third-quarter activity outside of Montefiore's major renewal and expansion, had the county's lowest availability rate overall at 12 percent, according to Colliers. Thirdquarter asking rents in the submarket were about 4 percent higher than last year's. Other third-quarter lease deals included the law firm Eckert, Seamans, Cherin & Mellott, LLC renewing for 20,845 square feet at 10 Bank St. and telecom provider MCI renewing its 19,534-square-foot lease at 1 N. Broadway in White Plains.

Connecticut is among the states with the highest incidence of breast cancer in the United States. Nearly 3,000 women and men will be diagnosed annually in Connecticut. Towns with high late-stage diagnosis are an indication that individuals may not have access to adequate breast cancer services. The programs we fund help overcome barriers to screening and treatment so all our neighbors can access the care they need. For more information visit KomenNewEngland.org

JUSTICE CENTER FUNDRAISER NETS $10K The Hudson Valley Justice Center recently held the first of what it plans to be annual fall cocktail fundraisers. The event was at the Yonkers Brewing Co. The event generated approximately $10,000 for the organization, which partners with community-based groups in order to address legal issues and advocate for legislation. For example, at the end of August, the justice center filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court seeking class-action status for a case involving New Rochelle-area laborers who worked for a large landscaping and maintenance company but were denied minimum wage and overtime pay in violation of federal and state law. This case was developed in partnership with United Community Center of Westchester. In September, attorney Rob McCreanor became executive director of the justice center. A graduate of Harvard Law School, he had been executive director of the Rhode Island Center for Justice and legal director of Catholic Migration Services, which assists immigrants and refugees in Brooklyn and Queens. He previously was with the New York County District Attorney’s Office and the international law firm of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP.

She founded the Westchester Institute of Yoga in 1982. KOI Creative Space offers a shared location for freelancers and small businesses that are not quite ready for a space of their own or have decided they don’t want to take on the overhead.

MEDICAL CENTER FUNDRAISER AT CULINARY INSTITUTE
WCBJ
TEATOWN SPENDS A NIGHT IN THE WOODS Teatown, the nonprofit nature preserve and environmental education center that manages more than 1,000 acres in the lower Hudson Valley, held its annual “A Night in the Woods” gala at the Sleepy Hollow Country Club. Honorees were David Swope and the organizations Brooklyn Botanic Garden and Open Space Institute. Swope served on Teatown’s board of trustees for several terms, including two terms as its chairman. The institute has protected almost 150,000 acres of open space in the Adirondacks, Hudson River Valley, Shawangunks and Catskills. It helped Teatown acquire land for preservation. In 1963, Brooklyn Botanic Garden accepted a 194-acre gift from the Swope family at a time when no other conservation organization foresaw the need for protected open space in northern Westchester, then largely undeveloped. When Teatown was organized and ready to become independent, Brooklyn Botanic offered a 200-year ground lease to Teatown, enabling it to grow as a community-based organization. Kevin Carter, Teatown’s executive director, said of the honorees, “Together they inspire communities across our country to lifelong environmental stewardship.”

As COO, Miller will be in charge of dayto-day operations. In addition to internal responsibilities, he will work with businesses on internships for Berkeley students and graduates.

JUDD INAUGURATED AT SARAH LAWRENCE
Cristle Collins Judd was inaugurated as Sarah Lawrence College’s 11th president during a ceremony at the college’s Yonkers campus. In addition to guests from the college and local communities, delegates from more than 60 colleges, universities, societies and associations attended. In her address, Judd noted that the college is planning to explore contemporary issues with a yearlong series of events created around the theme “Democracy and Education.” She said the issues include “What are the essential elements of a “democracy? Who gets to be a ‘citizen’ and why? How do we learn to speak to one another across deep ideological divides? How can we best balance the ideal of free speech in the face of hate speech? And what role should education — and higher education, in particular — play?” Judd comes to Sarah Lawrence from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, where she served as a senior program officer responsible for grants and initiatives supporting colleges and universities, the arts, civic engagement and the public humanities.
SERVICES CELEBRATE COLLABORATION Legal Services of the Hudson Valley and My Sisters’ Place celebrated their 10 years of collaboration with an open house at their joint offices at 100 E. First St. in Mount Vernon. Since their collaboration began in the Mount Vernon, they have helped more than 13,000 residents. Legal Services of the Hudson Valley provides free comprehensive civil legal services in the areas of domestic violence, housing emergencies, disability law, elder law, health care, consumer fraud and more. My Sisters’ Place deals with victims of domestic violence and human trafficking. Legal Services CEO Barbara Finkelstein said, “Legal Services of the Hudson Valley could not have asked for a better partner and collaborator in providing essential civil legal services to those that cannot afford an attorney when their basic human needs are at stake, especially for domestic violence survivors. ” Karen Cheeks-Lomax, CEO of My Sisters’ Place, said of their partner, “They have been incredible partners and the impact we’ve made together has been profound.” Among the public officials on hand were Westchester County Legislator Lyndon Williams, Mount Vernon Mayor Richard Thomas and state Sen. George Latimer. Westchester Deputy County Executive Kevin Plunkett presented proclamations on behalf of Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino that acknowledged the work of the two organizations.
Information for these features has been submitted by the subjects or their delegates.

Gilda’s Club in White Plains.
GILDA’S CLUB AND LAWRENCE HOSPITAL PARTNER
NewYork-Presbyterian Lawrence Hospital in Bronxville and Gilda’s Club Westchester are partnering to bring additional support services to cancer patients. Licensed clinical social workers from Gilda’s Club Westchester are leading support groups and conducting a coping-skills workshop at the hospital. The programs are free. Previously, patients at the hospital had to travel to Gilda’s Club Westchester’s headquarters in White Plains to participate in its cancer support groups and other educational and supportive oncology services. Maureen Killackey, director of clinical cancer services at the hospital, said, “This is the model for patient-centered cancer care: the right team at the right place and time for patients and their families.” The CEO of Gilda’s Club of Westchester, Melissa Lang, said, “Offering emotional support as a complement to medical care is a key component of our mission and is essential for true patient-centered care.” In northern Westchester, Gilda’s Club and NewYork-Presbyterian Hudson Valley Hospital in Cortlandt Manor partner to offer support groups for men and women newly diagnosed with cancer. Gilda’s Club is named in memory of comedian Gilda Radner, who died from ovarian cancer in 1989. It was founded in 1991 by her husband Gene Wilder, her cancer psychotherapist Joanna Bull, and a group of Gilda’s friends who included film critic Joel Siegel and actor Mandy Patinkin. The White Plains location opened in 2001. More information from Gilda’s Club Westchester at 914-644-8844 or info@gildasclubwestchester.org.
HOSPICE CELEBRATES Hospice of Westchester (HOW) recently hosted its 16th annual “In Celebration” reception at the Westchester Country Club in Rye. The guest speaker was Stone Phillips, formerly with NBC News where he was co-anchor of “Dateline NBC.” Phillips, an Emmy Award-winner, in 2013 produced a documentary seen on PBS that dealt with problems he encountered trying to care for his aging parents. Both of his parents were in hospice programs during the final months of their lives. “Hospice is wise and wonderful, and hospice professionals and volunteers are angels,” said Phillips. Proceeds from the event were designated to benefit The Anna & Louis H. Shereff Caregiver and Complementary Care Programs, providing therapies to alleviate pain, stress and anxiety. The therapies are offered to all HOW patients at no cost.
