longtime Westchester County businesswoman with a familiar surname in county real estate development is expanding her rehabilitation and therapy clinic to launch a “boutique-style” medical urgent care center in downtown White Plains. Gina Cappelli said she plans a soft opening in January of Forme Urgent Care and Wellness at 7-11 S. Broadway in an 11,300-square-foot space formerly leased by White Plains city agencies. The state Health Department-licensed business will succeed Cappelli’s Forme Medical, page 16

duRING Its hEYdAY IN thE 1980s, the Platinum Mile brimmed with major corporate tenants and packed-to-capacity suburban office complexes. New York Telephone, Hitachi and Texaco were some of the big name companies headquartered there. In 1984, corporations paid 60 percent of all property taxes in the town of Harrison. Today, the stretch is a shell of its former self – many corporate tenants have left or downsized. Texaco merged with Chevron and moved to San Francisco. New York Telephone became Verizon

and downsized. Office vacancy rates are up and new tenants are hard to come by. Building owners continually seek to reduce their tax payments even while some of their properties fall into disrepair and obsolescence. Corporations now make up only 18 percent of the town’s tax base. Harrison Mayor Ron Belmont drives down Westchester Avenue regularly and sees “the buildings in mothballs and buildings being demolished.” By looking around, he said, it was obvious that it was time to take a new look at the corridor. “The future of the town of Harrison is right there on Westchester Avenue,” he said.

Three-generation family business marks 50th year From paint jobs to tow trucks two family businesses do it all

he original Vincent Garage Inc. opened in 1963 on Forest Avenue in Rye, directly across the street from Rye Playland. The company had one tow truck and was an all-in-one gas and service station. Vincent Paniccia, the company’s founder who had recently immigrated from Italy, woke up at 5 a.m. each day and did hand car-washes himself, at 99 cents a pop. Today, 50 years and two generations later, and now based in Mamaroneck, the company has split into two separate businesses operated by Vincent’s son, son-in-law and two of his grandsons. The company’s remain connected not only through family and name, but by parking lots that connect the two businesses in an “L” shape on Fenimore Road and Center Avenue. Vincent Service Station Inc., on 636 Fenimore Road, is operated by Vincent’s son Anthony, and Vincent’s grandson, Anthony Jr. That business handles the gas, towing and auto service. It’s their trucks you may see recovering disabled vehicles or righting rolled over tractor trailers on Interstate 95. It now has the largest fleet of tow trucks in Westchester County. Vincent Auto Body Inc., on 425 Center Ave., is operated by Vincent’s son-in-law Michael Lungariello and Vincent’s grandson, Matthew Lungariello. That company handles body work and is a direct repair facility for several auto insurance companies. Vincent, who died in 2007 at age 72, split the companies nearly 10 years ago. By then, the original Vincent’s had moved from Rye to Hoyt Avenue and then to its current location on Waverly Avenue. Vincent’s daughter, Maria, and his daughter-in-law Antonella, are part of the business. Anthony Jr. and Matthew Lungariello, as well as Vincent’s five other grandchildren, spent their teenage years helping out at the shop during summers.

business started small. Michael Lungariello drove a truck, worked on cars and eventually made a name for himself as the man in charge of the body repair side of the company. If pumping gas wasn’t the most exciting job for them, they soon learned that once they mastered the basics, they could move onto more advanced tasks. For Anthony, Jr. he reached a milestone at age 17. “I started pumping gas when I was 13,” said Anthony Paniccia Jr. “When I turned 17, I got my license and hopped into a tow truck.” One aspect all of the family members learned was resiliency and seeing a task through to the end, according to Anthony Paniccia Sr. He remembers that his father, even in his later years, would head to the scene when there was a big truck accident that was blocking lanes on the interstate. “He would say, ‘Even if we have to cut the truck into pieces and carry it on our backs, we’re gonna get it done,’” Anthony said. In the early days when his father struggled to establish the business, he needed to get creative when he retrofitted dump trucks as tow trucks. “The front of the tow truck would lift up when the back got too heavy,” Anthony Paniccia Sr. said. “My dad used to put a steel bumper on the front of the truck and fill it

with cement to even out the weight.” Not only did Vincent apply his ingenuity on the road, but Michael said he remembered his father-in-law getting creative while working on cars at the shop. “He would replace the engine of the car using the strength of a tree limb to hoist the engine out of the car,” Michael said. “It was basically using the concept of ropes and pulleys. We thought we were high tech.” These days, the company is a bit more high-tech, according to Matthew Lungariello. “We do the body work using a computerized system,” Matthew said. “When we first started we didn’t have a spray booth, so we painted cars in the body shop behind a curtain. Now there is spray booths and a color matching system. There’s a camera that scans the paint, matches the color piece by piece, makes estimates on each part and generates an invoice.” At the service station, the tow trucks

are no longer balanced with cement. Out of the company’s 17 tow trucks, none are older than 7 years old. The family businesses employ 45 people combined, and they tow and fix everything from senior service buses and police cars to trucks and ambulances. Though the companies are now separate, they remain unified and in more than just the parking lots connecting. “Even though our name changed, we still do things for each other,” Anthony Paniccia Sr. said. “Just like the saying ‘two heads are better than one,’ we think 45 heads are better than one. If there’s ever a big situation or challenge, we always help each other out.” Outside of the business, Vincent was known as a local philanthropist. This month, the village of Mamaroneck board of trustees voted unanimously to dedicate the corner of Fayette and Fenimore as “Vincent Paniccia Avenue.” A formal dedication ceremony will be set in the warmer months of 2014. Vincent, who served as a former auxiliary police lieutenant for the village of Mamaroneck and Harrison and police auxiliary captain and range officer for Rye, jumpstarted a motorcycle police unit by buying the first bikes for the village of Mamaroneck’s police station. He was also involved in putting retired police cars to use for the local D.A.R.E. program, a curriculum that teaches students to live drug and violence free lives. Matthew Lungariello said his grandfather’s influence could be best summed up by the reaction of mourners at Vincent’s wake. “Everyone had a story they wanted to share, even people who used to work for him as a teenager,” he said. “People would say, ‘this guy was more of a father figure to me than anyone else in my life.’ Even people I never saw before in my life would say this.”

The lobby fish go as Yonkers hotel goes boutique BY JOHN GOLDEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

f the Royal Regency Hotel is known beyond its Yonkers doors, it might be for what’s just inside its lobby doors: splashing rock pools swimming with carp beside a sweeping staircase. It’s what greets the weary, budget-minded interstate traveler stopping for a conveniently located room at 165 Tuckahoe Road. And then there’s the Crystal Ballroom, a 4,000-square-foot, vanity-reflecting hall of mirrors and massive chandeliers where the Royal Regency’s owners cater many of the nearly 100 wedding receptions they book in an average year. After the holiday season and over the slow winter months, the lobby water show and its resident goldfish kin will be replaced by an elegantly modern floating-LED-lightthemed lobby entrance and staircase at the Royal Regency. LED chandeliers and French doors will be hung and glass wall panels removed in the refurbished Crystal Ballroom. The major renovations are part of an approximately $3 million redesign and repositioning of the family-owned hotel in what is expected to be a more competitive hospitality market in Yonkers in 2014 and beyond, where hotels are being planned for the Cross

County Center and Executive Boulevard. The makeover includes the three-story hotel’s 88 guest rooms and five suites. Maria Pampafikos, vice president and hotel co-owner, said the transformation from interstate waystop to boutique hotel is expected to be completed by May. The Royal Regency will remain open throughout. And what is that shade of purple on walls, fabrics and furnishings that ties together lobby, ballroom and guest rooms in the new design? “Aubergine,” interior designer Therese Virserius said over the phone from her Manhattan office. “It’s a color that in a way is actually a neutral. …It’s a very soothing color as well.” Then there’s the brighter neon shade of purple on the sliding glass doors that open from guest bathrooms onto bedrooms. “The wow factor,” said Virserius, whose dozens of renderings for the Yonkers renovation were stacked against chair legs in the hotel owners’ office during a recent conference call. With offices in New York City and Paris, her Virserius Studio has designed commercial and residential interior projects that include the Caribe Hilton Resort, Hyatt Regency hotels in Montreal and Rochester and Chelsea Loft. The new hotel lobby in Yonkers, with aubergine wall coverings and guests passing under LED-lit globes at the

entrance and an artfully shaped LED light ring mounted over the grand staircase, will be “sleek, trendy, modern, boutique,” said Pampafikos – and “sexy” too. “We want to look non-franchise,” she said. “We want to get away from the cookie cutter. We want to stand out.” “It’s a distinct departure from where they are today,” Virserius said, “and it will place them in a completely different market than where they were before.” Pampafikos said the owners do want to attract more business travelers and corporate events to their higher-priced boutique hotel. “We do want to be able to cater to the corporate clientele and in general to a less price-sensitive guest,” she said. Pampafikos is the daughter of the hotel’s president and CEO, Konstantinos Paxos. Emigrating from Greece at 16, he found work as a dishwasher at a New York City diner and worked his way up in the industry to become owner of Royal Coach Diner in the Bronx. Paxos in 1992 acquired the three-story building on busy Tuckahoe Road in Yonkers. It was vacated by Carvel Corp. in 1991, two years after founder Tom Carvel sold the company to Investcorp for more than $80 million. For 24 years it had been corporate headquarters for the ice cream franchise business. Westchester County land records show

Paxos’ company, Nikolaos Realty Corp., paid $2.4 million in 1994 when the property deed was transferred by the estate of Tom Carvel, who died in 1990. Like Paxos a Greek immigrant, Carvel – born Carvelas – had started his soft ice cream retail business in Westchester. Carvel Corp. in 1967 bought the Westchester Town House Motel on Tuckahoe Road and renamed it the Carvel Inn. The building reportedly continued to operate as a public hotel while serving as Carvel headquarters and a company conference center for visiting franchise owners. Pampafikos said Carvel housed franchise trainees in the headquarters hotel. A vestige of the drive-through service window in what was a Carvel ice cream shop in the building remains in a front salon of the Royal Regency. The hotel employs about 30 workers. Pampafikos, who holds a master’s in human resources management from Fordham University, started in the family company as an assistant banquet manager, learning the business from the ground up at her father’s insistence. In the Yonkers hotel market, “There’s definitely more competition,” Pampafikos said. She said the Royal Regency is developing a “staycation” package for not-too-distanttraveling guests with Empire City Casino at Yonkers Raceway.

Greenburgh agrees to $6.5M settlement with church Largest-known settlement by municipality in religious discrimination suit

BY MARK LUNGARIELLO mlungariello@westfairinc.com

he town of Greenburgh has reached a $6.5 million settlement with Fortress Bible Church, a Pentecostal congregation seeking to build a church and school on Pomander Drive. The deal, approved by the town board at its Monday meeting, ends a lengthy legal battle in which Fortress said its constitutional rights were violated by the town. Keane & Beane P.C., the law firm that represented Fortress Bible, said it believes the settlement is the largest ever in the nation for a land use case involving discrimination against a religious institution. Nicholas Ward-Willis, an attorney with Keane & Beane, said the church was pleased with the outcome. “The settlement will allow the church to leave the courtroom behind and focus its attention on its religious endeavors and charitable works,” he said in a written statement. The town’s primary insurance carrier will cover $1 million of the settlement this year, according to town Supervisor Paul Feiner, a Democrat. Feiner said he believes additional

December 30, 2013 • WCBJ

carriers will also take on a portion but it is likely most of the remaining $5.5 million will fall on the shoulders of the town, at a time when it is finalizing its 2014 budget. Fortress, which has been based in Mount Vernon for more than 40 years, purchased 6.5 acres in Greenburgh in March 1998, with the idea of building a larger facility to accommodate growing membership. The church has roughly 175 congregants. In late 1998, the church proposed a onestructure development to house a 500-seat church and a K-12 school with maximum enrollment of 150 children. The area on Pomander Drive was a mixed-use zone and the structure was compliant with local code, but the town dragged its feet on approving the application. Officials cited traffic as their main area of concern with the proposal, though several elected members publicly stated they did not like taking the property off of the tax rolls by having a tax-exempt church on the grounds. The church filed a lawsuit against the town in 2003 after continued delays. The suit outlined town officials directing Greenburgh employees to identify methods to delay or deny the application. The church said Feiner

had asked the congregation to donate a fire truck or annual cash to the local fire department in light of the religious organization’s property tax exemption.

“This settlement payment is the final win for the church in this unfortunate and unwarranted saga and puts an end to the wrongful war of attrition waged by the town against our client.”

— Donna E. Frosco

In 2010, a U.S. District Court issued a scathing ruling of more than 200 pages that said the town had violated the church’s constitutional rights of speech and religious worship. The decision said that town officials had shown hostility towards the applicant and intentionally held up approval of the

application. The court ordered the town to issue permits for Fortress Bible and said the congregation was entitled to collect damages. Greenburgh appealed the ruling, which was upheld by an appellate panel late last year. Prior to the approval of the settlement, Greenburgh was awaiting a trial to determine damages. Feiner, in an email update to residents, said he disagreed with the court’s ruling once again citing traffic concerns despite the court ruling taking a stance of dismissing that argument. Feiner said the town would comply and issue the permits Fortress has long sought. “If the church wants to start construction they can,” Feiner said. “The town will welcome the church to our community and will not create any obstacles that will create problems for the church.” Greenburgh must calculate all permit fees for the church based on 2002 rates as part of the settlement. Donna E. Frosco, Keane & Beane’s lead trial and appellate counsel for the church, said, “This settlement payment is the final win for the church in this unfortunate and unwarranted saga and puts an end to the wrongful war of attrition waged by the town against our client.”

Platinum —

Platinum Mile to the more residential area of Purchase, one of the town’s three geographical areas. The Harrison Town Board on Dec. 19 approved its new master plan, prepared by New York City-based BFJ Planning. The approval marked the end of a decade-long process that spanned parts of four mayoral administrations and was derailed and then reshaped by the real estate bubble bursting and subsequent economic crisis. Steve Malfitano, a Republican, served as the town’s mayor from 2002-07, then returned to elected office as a councilman in 2012. When his administration began the master plan update, prior to the worst of the recession, the Platinum Mile wasn’t a focal point. But when he returned to office as a councilman, he and his colleagues realized the economy had changed. “You want to foster the development of businesses in your corporate parks, but you don’t want to be limiting,” he said. “There’s a realization we have to do more, we have to address this or else our corporate parks are going to turn into ghost towns.” Many of the recent success stories in the Platinum Mile and surrounding area have been repurposing or complete reconstruction projects. On Corporate Park Drive, one office building was repurposed as a Hyatt Extended Stay and the former Nokia building has been purchased as the new head-

quarters of HistoGenetics, a biotech company. The former Journal News headquarters was demolished and is now home to a Lifetime Fitness facility and Memorial-Sloan Kettering is building a cancer center at the former New York Telephone site. Talks of updating the town’s plan had begun even before Malfitano was elected mayor, but under his administration the town updated the plan chapters and gained steam in 2004 and 2005, when it had public consultations with representatives from all over the town and the Platinum Mile. By 2007, three public forums were held in town and plan approval seemed inevitable by year’s end. Joan Walsh, a Democrat who was mayor from 2008 to 2011, shelved the plan draft amidst fiscal difficulties and differing views from Malfitano. When Belmont came into office in 2012 with an all-GOP board, he resurrected the plan draft, made amendments and went through the public hearing process on the way to final approval. Harrison, which was officially incorporated in 1778, didn’t have its first master plan until 1956, a generation after the railroad came to town and the area transitioned from multi-acre rural estates to a more suburban setting. The Purchase area of the town had its own master plan in 1950, rightly predicting some of the larger estates would be subdivided in the future.

The town’s 1972 master plan was perhaps its most pivotal, identifying the potential for commercial development and paving the way for the development of 256 acres for office use. In the 1980s and 1990s, many corporations abandoned their urban digs in New York City and elsewhere for suburban tranquility and readily available – and affordable – land. Harrison was an attractive destination for companies, due to its connectivity to the major highways and its proximity to New York City, White Plains and Connecticut’s emerging Gold Coast. The county airport, which today flies more than 800,000 annually, was also an attractive amenity for corporate clients. Between the 1972 and 1988 master plans, 4.5 million square feet of office space construction took place in the town. But, the economy changed even as Westchester’s property taxes began to balloon in the last 15 years. Rents increased for tenants and many corporations reversed course and returned to Manhattan or White Plains, now a surging commercial and residential center next door to Harrison. According to a CB Richard Ellis study on 2012 first quarter commercial rent, Harrison owners charged $26 per square foot on average, slightly lower than White Plains’ $28 per square foot and significantly less than Greenwich and Stamford’s $62 per square foot and $43 per square foot, respectively. Any zoning changes recommended by the plan must still be done under the normal review process, which would include public hearings and a vote by the town board. But Malfitano said the blueprint laid out a future that was promising for businesses without being burdensome on residents. Many companies continue to commit to Harrison properties, including Morgan Stanley and PepsiCo Inc., which each employ more than 1,000 employees. “I think we made a statement here that we’re open for business,” he said. “We’re a very pro-business board.”

Larchmont, Mamaroneck and Scarsdale schools into one prekindergarten through 12th grade campus while preserving 83 acres of open space at 400 Ridgeway. Adopting the findings “requires much on the applicant’s part,” said White Plains Mayor Thomas Roach. FASNY must now provide “practical and measurable” strategies on how to address each of the changes recommended by the council. One modification is decreasing the student body by 20 percent from 1,200 to 950 and capping it at that number for six years. But that reduction doesn’t guarantee there will be fewer traffic problems, Lecuona said. If the school decides to gradually increase enrollment, there’s no evidence to show this won’t add traffic impacts, she said.

“It took the German School several years to prove the increase of students will not add traffic problems,” said Lecuona, who mentioned that The German School of New York in White Plains is smaller so its traffic impact is less drastic than if FASNY were to decide to increase its enrollment on the 129-acre site. The German School of New York, which is on the other side of North Street, has 370 students from pre-K through 12th grade and is just over a half-mile away from FASNY’s proposed campus. The modifications to FASNY’s proposal would require it to monitor and facilitate traffic within the campus and cap the total number of daily vehicular trips into and out of the school property at around 530. Councilman Benjamin Boykin suggested installing cam-

eras and trip detectors on neighboring streets to monitor traffic in real time. To address the traffic impact, FASNY plans to make busing mandatory for 75 percent of the students. Some council members said this can’t be enforced because of unknown factors such as what districts provide buses and the number of buses available to drop off and pick up students. Homeowners surrounding the property have raised concerns about the burden of bringing a school into their neighborhood. “The proposal seems to have moved forward without serious objections,” said Andrew Swanson, a 13-year resident on Club Pointe Drive, which intersects North Street. “We’re concerned about the additional traffic on North Street.”

is now reimagining the Platinum Mile as a corridor of mixed-used developments and senior living residences. Harrison has adopted a new master plan, a document that analyzes development trends and makes zoning recommendations to serve as a guidebook for future elected officials and planning departments. The marquee change recommended by the new plan is to rezone to mixed use a teardrop-shaped area along Westchester Avenue, bordered by Interstates 287 and 684, and the Hutchinson River Parkway. Belmont said the goal is to diversify development and encourage the repurposing of existing buildings at a time when large one-tenant office buildings are no longer the norm. A mixed-used zone would open the door to construction of senior-living facilities, which Belmont said could keep empty nesters in town while not burdening the public school system or creating an influx of traffic. Special exception permits, as recommended by the master plan, would allow for retail uses and restaurants on the ground floor of developments with a maximum floor area of 25,000 square feet. It could mean creating a “self-contained village” in that area of the town, Belmont said. The master plan also recommends studying potential ways to link the existing corporate campuses and facilities along Westchester Avenue. Currently, many of the office areas are segmented on the avenue, a thoroughfare with two lanes in each direction split down the middle by I-287. The town could encourage linking those properties when approving new permits and through other measures, officials say. Harrison will also look to open an emergency access road between Westchester Avenue and Manhattanville Road, a road that would be closed to public traffic to avoid pushing traffic from the

Councilwoman Milagros Lecuona opposing. The project still requires site plan approval and a special permit. The council’s action ends the State Environmental Quality Review Act process, which opens the door for the formal permit application. The vote was a critical step forward, according to Mischa Zabotin, chairman of FASNY’s board of trustees. “But there’s still a lot of work to be done,” Zabotin said. “Throughout the process, we’ve been respectful of the issues raised and we look forward to the final vote hopefully by the spring.” FASNY’s plan is to consolidate its

Medical heals a repurposed market

3030 Westchester Ave. , White Plains

BY HOWARD E. GREENBERG

here were a small but very significant group of real estate transactions in the Westchester County market in 2013 that had literally no effect on our office vacancy rate. That notwithstanding, they will add thousands of construction jobs and permanent jobs and they reinforce the continuing trends of repurposing of existing buildings and the explosive growth of medical and biotech in the county. These transactions involved almost 1 million square feet of space. They include the 250,000- square-foot office building at 19 Skyline Drive in Hawthorne, vacated by IBM and immediately sold by Mack-Cali to New York Medical College; Montefiore’s purchase of the 300,000-squarefoot Kraft research campus in Tarrytown; Regeneron’s 300,000-square-foot build-to-suit laboratory expansion at Landmark at Eastview and WestMed’s 85,000-square-foot build to suit at Harrison Executive Park. These were the key deals of 2013 and they did not “move the needle” at all on the office vacancy rate. But if 19 Skyline and the Kraft campus had come to market as 550,000 square feet of newly vacant office space, there would have been a significant increase in the vacancy rate. More than that, these properties would have required huge capital investments for renovations and that would have taken many years to lease up, if they could have been leased at all.

A trickle from outside We continue to see only a trickle of new tenants coming into Westchester from other areas. Large companies continue to downsize their headcount and square footage leased per person. Some smaller, primarily privately held tenants are growing. Notwithstanding the fact that we are only 38 minutes from midtown Manhattan by train, Westchester has not attracted any statistically significant relocations

from the Big Apple in recent years. Repurposing of buildings and land continues and is actually accelerating. This trend toward recycling underutilized buildings and rezoning land to permit more popular uses is our best hope for rebalancing the market. The ultimate goal is to achieve equilibrium, which is the point at which supply of space and demand are approximately equal. For far too long, our supply has far outstripped our demand in Westchester. A number of office building owners and leasing representatives I spoke to said they had a good leasing year, notwithstanding the fact that annual deal velocity continues in the 1 million-plus-square-foot range, rather than the close to 2 million-square-foot range annually prior to the recession. These days, tenant retention is critical in Westchester and tenants do not make that easy. They drive hard bargains, but building owners know that the cost of losing them and sitting with vacant space is too high.

Medical the driver Medical continues to be THE growth engine. Indeed the first new office building to be developed since the late 1980’s will be a pre-leased 85,000-square-foot medical office building for WestMed at Harrison Executive Park along Route 287 in Purchase. Montefiore Hospital closed on its purchase of the 300,000-square-foot former Kraft campus in Tarrytown and is still signing new leases for significant amounts of administrative space in multiple submarkets. Scarsdale Medical Group has planted its flag at Saxon Woods Corporate Center and continues its strong growth as well. Glenn Walsh, executive managing director of Newmark Grubb Knight Frank, says “the east side of 287 is turning from Platinum Mile to Medical Mile” and he is right. WestMed has its administrative operations at 2500 Westchester Ave. as well as all of 210 Westchester Ave. for medical offices and will occupy the new 85,000-square-foot

building in Purchase. Sloan Kettering continues the buildout of its cancer treatment center on Westchester Avenue for a 2015 opening. The 150,000-square-foot Harrison Executive Park in Purchase is almost all medical, as are Harrison Court and 244 Westchester in White Plains. This represents a huge repositioning of this submarket. The largest “traditional” lease deal of 2013 was Xylem - 67,000 square feet, with net absorption of about 20,000 square feet- relocating from 1133 Westchester Ave. to Reckson Executive Park in Rye Brook. This was really a carryover lease from 2012 that got bumped out of 1111 Westchester when Pepsico committed to the majority of the building.

Some landlord successes The Normandy portfolio in the 287 East submarket had a very good leasing year in 2013, according to Brian Carcaterra, senior vice president of CBRE, who represents it as leasing agent. They did about 90,000 square feet of new leases and 80,000 square feet of renewals in that 1.5 millionsquare-foot portfolio. Tenants responded well to the new cafeteria, fitness center and conference room installed by ownership in 2500 Westchester Ave. and brought that building to almost full occupancy. Normandy’s next focus is the repositioned 701 Westchester Ave., which has already attracted Misys (12,300 square feet) from White Plains, as well as Fusion, which is new to the market and leased 9,000 square feet. There is currently only one block of space over 25,000 square feet in the Normandy portfolio, versus 11 blocks of that size in Q1 2009. They went from 40 percent occupied in Q1 of 2009 to about 70 percent currently. Mack-Cali had a good year as well, selling off 19 Skyline and re-tenanting another 42,500 square feet left vacant by IBM. It did a major expansion and extension with data center operator Xand (now 85,000 square feet) and leased Repurposed, page 8 WCBJ • December 30, 2013

a long-vacant 30,000-square-foot floor on Taxter Road to Intelligrated. They re-tenanted much of the 130,000 square feet of industrial space left vacant by SanMar Laboratories in Elmsford, relocating Barrie House Coffee from Yonkers for 77,000 square feet and adding another 16,000 square feet from Ultrafabrics, both prior to the vacancy hitting the market. They are in discussion with deals for the rest of the space. Reckson Executive Park in Rye Brook had huge leasing activity this year, beginning with the 67,000-square-foot Xylem lease – which also spun off a 30,000-square-foot relocation by Verizon to Reckson’s 500 Summit in Valhalla to make room for the new tenant. New deals included First Key Holdings (a division of Cerberus Capital) for 16,000 square feet, BCI (a new cable TV company) for 13,000 square feet and an unidentified health care company for 15,000 square feet. Overall, 120,000 square feet of new leases and expansions were done in this 540,000-squarefoot park. Reckson also had success at The Summit in Valhalla, with a 37,000-square-foot expansion and extension by existing law firm tenant Kaufman Borgeest & Ryan, and a 28,000-square-foot lease by USI, relocating from Briarcliff. They also made progress in the leasing of the office space at the Ritz Carlton in White Plains and at 150 Grand St. in White Plains.

Corporate giants stir MasterCard just announced an expansion of the building it owns in Purchase, as well as an expansion of its leased

space at 100 Manhattanville Road, potentially adding about 270 jobs. Add that to Pepsico’s major reconstruction of its Purchase HQ and its now 270,000-square-foot lease to house its employees during the multiyear project at 1111/1129 Westchester Ave., and it tells us that corporate America is not yet dead in Westchester. But IBM has put large blocks of space up for lease on its campuses in Armonk and Somers, continuing its multidecade reduction in space. MBIA reportedly has a deal to sell its campus in New Castle and is shopping the county for about 100,000 square feet of space to lease. Pernod Ricard has 83,000 square feet listed for sublease at 100 Manhattanville Road on a term that only runs through September 2017, as this company is returning to New York City. This space has been on the market for about 18 months with no takers. Bayer is giving back over 100,000 square feet at 555 White Plains Road in Tarrytown as it consolidates into its new HQ campus in New Jersey. There has also been consolidation by WestCon at 520 White Plains Road, resulting in two floors being vacated. Other than these two units, the West Side submarket is very tight, with Tappan Zee Constructors taking almost 31,000 square feet at 555 White Plains Road earlier this year and some smaller leases for other companies involved in the building of the new Tappan Zee Bridge.

White Plains CBD slow Generally, activity in the Central Business District of White Plains has been slow this year and there are a number of significant subleases on the market. Disney consolidated its operations back in California and put 71,000 square feet on the market at Westchester One. Pearson Education is decamping for New York City and has 42,000

square feet for sublease at 10 Bank St. MindSpark left for “funky loft space” in Yonkers, giving a full floor, 33,000 square feet, back to 1 N. Lexington. Also at 1 N. Lexington, Alliance Bernstein has quietly subleased about 78,000 square feet to relocating tenants that include Argus, doubling its size to 50,500 square feet from a building across the street; IHS, coming from Valhalla for 15,000 square feet, and shoe company Donald J. Pliner in a 13,000-square-foot relocation from New York City. Don’t forget that this was space already under lease and so these transactions did not absorb any space statistically. The star building of the White Plains CBD is Westchester One, which signed almost 80,000 square feet of leases with New York state government entities and 44,713 square feet with Jackson Lewis, in a lateral relocation (i.e. no net absorption) of its attorneys group from 1 N. Broadway a few blocks away. Even though Reader’s Digest downsized, leaving the very desirable top two floors vacant, it extended its lease for more than 50,000 square feet. All in all, Westchester One achieved the best CBD leasing success in 2013. There were no major catastrophes and there were some significant gains in the Westchester County market in 2013. Medical and biotech continue to grow. Building owners continue to focus hard on working their properties to achieve maximum tenant retention and occupancy. Large buildings that are either functionally obsolete or require major capital infusions are candidates for sale or repurposing. Thank goodness for medical, the “great white hope” for Westchester.

Branding your business requires homework My husband and I have worked hard to build the business. Now we are learning more about how marketing can help us grow. Everyone we talk to says that we have to start with a clear image and message. As you can tell, we don’t have the identity of the company defined.

Thoughts of the Day: A picture does speak a thousand words. Give your business a physical representation by figuring out what image best conveys what your company stands for. Work through a series of exercises to get clear about messaging. Decide on a symbol that represents the company now and for the future. Be consistent in the use of identifiers. Bring consistency to what your company stands for by developing your company’s identity. Think about how some pictures help you get in touch with the personalities of the people in the photo. Make your company image represent the unique personality of your company. Customers want to know what your business is about. Use color, image and messaging to give customers a snapshot. Unify. Inform.

Identify. Engage. Electrify. Represent. Visualize. These are all words you might want to consider when working on your company’s identity. Define the market sectors your company operates within – professional services, retail, government contractor, manufacturing and product distribution. If you’re not sure how to define the sector, look up your company’s Standard Industrial Classification or SIC code. Then look at other companies in the same sector to gather ideas. Start to create your own messaging by putting into words what your company is all about. In addition: • Develop a mission statement that explains the purpose of the business. • Gather customer quotes that explain the value they receive from your company. • Ask employees to contribute statements about what they believe the company stands for. • Ask key vendors to submit five words that best define what they know about the company. • Ask the founders why they got into the business in the first place. • Ask everyone to brainstorm what the business’ future is all about.

Put all of that information into the hat and begin to pull out words and phrases that can be used to create a one-paragraph representation of the business. Make sure the description ties together where the company has come from and where it is going next, who it serves and why. Once you have a clear written understanding of the company’s purpose in the form of a mission and vision statement, it’s time to turn that into a picture that says it all. Look for a core symbol that fits the written description you’ve created. Decide if that symbol should be contemporary, formal, humorous, ancient, offbeat, classic, etc., depending upon the tone you want to convey. Pick colors that send a message. Consider hiring people to help you with the design of a logo, layout of letterhead and digital imaging. One of the big mistakes many business owners make is trying to do it themselves even though they have had no formal education on effective use of colors, layout and artistic design. The last thing you want is to put out a bad design that backfires in terms of what you are trying to convey. Develop multiple concepts. Show customers, employees and key vendors various designs

and ask them what they see. Don’t go with what you like, go with what your customers and employees identify with. Take enough time and expend the effort necessary to build an icon that will last for many years. Give your customers a reason to select your company and pay a premium when they do so. Give employees something to be proud of and to rally around. Once you’ve decided on the mission, the logo and layout, be consistent in their use. Customers want reassurance that your company is well organized. Build customer and employee confidence by demonstrating that you understand how important it is to properly represent your company.

Internet sales tax : A level playing field in 2014? BY ADAM IFSHIN

ecently the U.S. Supreme Court declined to take up a recent challenge to state laws governing Internet sales tax collection, leaving lower court rulings to stand as law. For some observers this may have been a surprise. While one lower court upheld a New York state Internet sales tax law, another lower court struck one down in Illinois. By all appearances the stage was set for the Supreme Court to clear the air and make the final decision about who has the constitutional high ground on this issue. As usual, appearances can be deceiving. The court refusing to hear an appeal is not the same as the court upholding the lower court ruling. By refusing the case, the court is sending a clear message to Congress instead: fix this problem. In Quill v. North Dakota (1992), the Supreme Court created a sales tax collection exemption for magazine sellers who had no system at that time for collecting sales taxes that their customers owed In that ruling, the majority noted: “[O]ur decision is made easier by the fact that the underlying issue is not only one that Congress may be better qualified to resolve, but also one that Congress has the ultimate power to resolve.” More than 20 years after the Quill decision, the court is sending a clear message that this is an issue for Congress, and Congress alone, to resolve. From a legislative standpoint, things look promising. The U.S. Senate in May passed the Marketplace Fairness Act by an overwhelming bipartisan vote of 69-27. The law authorizes states, which have simplified their sales tax laws to require online and catalog retailers – remote sellers – to collect sales tax at the time of a transaction no matter where they are located. The issue moved to the House of Representatives and was assigned to the House Judiciary Committee under the chairmanship of Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.). The House bill is sponsored by Rep. Steve Womack (R-Ariz.) and supported by a substantial contingent of large and small businesses as well as state and local chambers of commerce. A parade of Republican governors and legislators around the country have written op-eds, given interviews to local and national media and even visited their federal counterparts in Washington, DC to advocate for the bill. Warren Buffett and Bill Gates spoke in favor of the legislation during a joint interview on CNBC. The editorial boards of The New York Times and USA Today published articles strongly supporting fair tax collection and a federal solution that closes the Internet

sales tax loophole. On the heels of all this support, Chairman Goodlatte made several public statements that the issue needs to be addressed. He also recently released a series of principles to guide legislation on this issue. Among them he included the notion of fairness: all retailers should face the same tax collection burdens and none should be unduly burdened. He included the principle that states should be granted their sovereignty to set and collect their own taxes, but encouraged competition between states to help keep tax burdens low. These beliefs fit with Chairman Goodlatte’s earlier public statements demonstrating that he is behind this legislation but plans to offer some amendments to the Senate version of the bill. Opponents have called the $1 million small business exemption in the Marketplace Fairness Act arbitrary and pointed to definitions and expertise from the U.S. Small Business Administration to determine the appropriate level for such an exemption. A few weeks ago the SBA answered the call, publishing a study out of the University of Tennessee showing that a $1 million small business exemption would exclude approximately 98 percent of online retailers and more than 95 percent of magazine sellers while still collecting 57 percent of sales tax revenue on remote sales. The total number of businesses affected would be less than 2,000. Even more interesting, the study showed that increasing the small business exemption to $5 million would not significantly alter the size of the affected group or the tax revenue collected. That means the vast majority of businesses that would be impacted by the Marketplace Fairness Act are well-established with significant revenue streams. It also suggests that a small business exemption set at $1 million or even $5 million offers effective protection to nurture start-ups and support small businesses. Even before the SBA published its study results, famed Reagan economic advisor Arthur Laffer had already demonstrated the value of enforcing the sales tax laws already on the books. In his study “Pro-Growth Tax Reform and E-Fairness,” Laffer teamed up with fellow conservative economist Donna Arduin to look at the economic impact of collecting Internet sales taxes and using that revenue to lower more harmful property and income taxes. According to their findings, Internet sales tax collection could add more than $560 billion in gross domestic product and more than 1.5 million new jobs to the U.S. economy over the next 10 years. After two decades, the time has come to close the Internet sales tax loophole. The only thing standing in the way is the readiness of Internet, page 11

Bipartisan coalition to take over county board BY MARK LUNGARIELLO mlungariello@westfairinc.com

wo Democrats have joined with the seven Republicans on the county Board of Legislators to form a coalition that will pry leadership from the Democratic majority in 2014. Coalition members announced Dec. 19 that they would support Somers Democrat Michael Kaplowitz as the next board chairman and New Rochelle Republican Jim Maisano as vice chairman. The board will vote for new leadership Jan. 6. Kaplowitz said the coalition will bring a spirit of across-the-aisle collaboration, leaving behind hyper-partisan warfare and legal wrangling between the legislature and County Executive Robert P. Astorino, a Republican. Kaplowitz, a 16-year incumbent, expected a “raucous but productive” session. “No one checks their party registration at the door,” he said. Maisano said, “We’re not going to sue each other, we’re going to sit in a room and work it out ... You can’t govern in a bipartisan way without respect.” Kaplowitz and Yonkers Democrat Virginia Perez first broke with their party’s caucus in December 2012 when they voted with Republicans to approve the budget even as most of the remaining Democratic legislators walked out of the county board chambers. Perez said she and Kaplowitz first reached across the aisle in an effort to end ongoing legislative gridlock. Outgoing Chairman Ken Jenkins, in four years leading the board, often clashed with the county executive and several times filed lawsuits against him. Jenkins felt several decisions by the executive overstepped his bounds

and bypassed the authority of the legislative branch. Jenkins shrugged off critics who took issue with the board filing those lawsuits. “I don’t think we should have had to,” he said. Jenkins spoke to reporters in his office Dec. 19 immediately after the coalition’s press conference, which he did not attend. The new leadership will need to continue to hold the county executive accountable and make sure the law is followed, Jenkins said. Jenkins sent a letter to northern Westchester Democrats bashing Kaplowitz and his relationship with the Astorino administration, at one point saying Kaplowitz was “carrying Astorino’s water” to the Democratic caucus. Jenkins wrote in the Dec. 6 letter that Kaplowitz had called Astorino’s November re-election victory a win for bipartisanship. “There was nothing bipartisan about Astorino’s win,” the letter said. “The main issue in the race for county executive was taxes.

the room, the issue people are uncomfortable with, the question of race.” Coalition members dismissed the insinuation their bipartisan majority was racially motivated and declined to address Jenkins’ comments specifically. It isn’t clear if Democrats other than Kaplowitz and Perez will join the coalition or even just vote in favor of Kaplowitz’s chairmanship. Of the 17-member board in 2013-14, 15 are incumbents. Rye’s Catherine Parker and White Plains’ Benjamin Boykin II, will be sworn in to replace retiring legislators Judy Myers and William Ryan, respectively. Both newcomers are backed by the Democratic Party. The Democratic caucus, now set to become the board’s minority are mulling their leadership options. Democrat Peter Harckham, the current majority leader, announced at the board’s Dec. 16 meeting that he would not seek to continue in that role.

Chairman Bob Goodlatte and the House Judiciary Committee to show the courage and leadership to bring this legislation to the House floor for debate. This is one of those rare moments when we need moderates to help Congress break through the gridlock and find common ground. If they do, it could mean billions in GDP growth, millions of new jobs and finally a level playing field for all retailers.

The second issue was the (U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development) settlement, which was done by Republicans in their normal racist literature.” Under the terms of the settlement, the county agreed to build 750 units of affordable housing in some of the county’s richest – and statistically whitest – communities. Astorino, who inherited that settlement from his predecessor, former County Executive Andy Spano, has come into conflict with the federal government over implementation of the settlement, saying he was defending local home rule and protecting the rights of towns, villages and cities to make their own zoning decisions. Astorino won re-election in November over Democratic challenger Noam Bramson, despite a nearly 2-to-1 disadvantage in Democrat to Republican voter registration in Westchester.

Healthcare I

t’s a transformational time for the healthcare industry— a key economic engine in Westchester County and the region—and the WCA is doing its part to keep Westchester ahead of the curve. In 2013, we launched our new powerful Healthcare Consortium, comprised of over 50 CEOs, senior executives and experts in healthcare, business and academia. The object was to get everyone around the table to solve some of the pressing issues facing the industry, and to share information, opinions, and insights. One of the outcomes was “Healthcare Insights,” an ongoing study project of the WCA with

in 2013

the goal of providing groundbreaking data leading to more cost-effective, quality healthcare for businesses and residents in Westchester. Current healthcare models show the industry being squeezed on several fronts, notes Bill Harrington, WCA Chairman. “Data from the study showed since 1997 there has been a decline in in-patient hospital care and an uptick in homecare and nursing facility admissions, along with a decrease in maternity and pediatric services and evidence that Medicare has surpassed commercial insurance as a primary payor. We can see that our aging population is having tremendous impact on the healthcare market— this will have long-term implications for our providers.” Perhaps the biggest change in the healthcare market was the messy rollout of the Affordable Care Act, bringing uncertainty for business, providers, and consumers, raising questions about benefit plans, physician networks, and new healthcare rules.

Medical — From page 1

Rehabilitation Inc., which relocated from 1075 Central Park Ave. in Scarsdale. A second Forme Rehabilitation clinic has operated in Eastchester since 2003. Cappelli, the sister of Valhalla-based real estate developer Louis R. Cappelli, said Forme will offer boutique-style medical services that combines walk-in care and specialty medicine under one roof. She has added podiatry, radiology and outpatient surgery services to her business this year and plans to operate an on-site blood laboratory. She said she plans to hire medical specialists in pulmonology, urology, vascular, endocrinology, pain management, dermatology and cosmetics and employ registered dieticians and certified psychologists. “I’ve always believed that the urgent care model, if run correctly, would be an amazing business,” Cappelli said. “People are looking for quality of care and in our busy lives they want it now. They don’t want to wait a week or two to see their doctor or a specialist.” Forme will provide “more personalized care,” she said. At Forme Urgent Care, “For any patient that has a primary care doctor or specialist, all the information will be sent directly to the doctor through our HIPPA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) compliant electronic medical record software, closing the loop on patient care,” Cappelli said. “We have a standard under hospital law that we have to live up to. You’re getting your practice and regulation monitored by the Department of Health…We’re under the same standards as hospitals,” she said. Cappelli is the daughter of another well-known businessman and developer in Westchester, the late Luca A. Cappelli Jr., founder of Cappelli Development. She said her decision to take on the challenge of growing her business through licensed urgent care followed the deaths of her father and her mother Concetta in 2011 and 2012. The new company combines both her father’s business mind and her mother’s nurturing side, she said. “My father’s favorite saying was, ‘You only know what you know. You don’t know what you don’t know. So listen and learn from others that have already been where you are and have already made their mistakes.” Cappelli, who has no professional medical background or expertise, heeded that advice when hiring consultants for her business. Forme Urgent Care and Wellness is a New York state-certified woman-owned business enterprise. Cappelli said she is applying for national recognition as a woman business owner to qualify for federal funding.

NEWSMAKERS plus awards and events Warmth and toys for less fortunate EMPIRE CITY CASINO teamed up with CATHOLIC CHARITIES for the seventh consecutive year to provide area families in need with a bit of warmth and some holiday cheer through the casino’s annual “Christmas Spirit” Coat and Toy Drive. TIMOTHY J. ROONEY, president and CEO of Empire City Casino, presented the organization with hundreds of toys and coats. A fellow familyowned company, Jams of Costa Mesa, Calif., delivered some West Coast warmth through its donation of 500 new toys for New York children in need. JOSH BLAKE of JAMS joined Rooney for the presentation, which was accepted by Monsignor KEVIN SULLIVAN, executive director of Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of New York; KAREN REYNOLDS, Westchester & Putnam County supervisor of Catholic Charities, along with Sister CHRISTINE HENNESSEY and LINDA CRONSTON of Aisling Irish Community Center. “It’s important that we remember what the Christmas season is truly celebrating. We must always remember to give to those in need. We provide our customers with an opportunity to give back and I am always astounded by their generosity,” said Rooney. The toy and coat drive has become a holiday tradition at Empire City Casino and thousands of toys and coats have been donated since 2007 when the campaign was launched.

cnr receIVes archItectural aWard thE CoLLEGE of NEW RoChELLE’s WELLNEss CENtER received the 2013 Silver Award from the Society of American Registered Architects. Designed by ikon.5, a Princeton, N.J.-based architectural firm, the center has received numerous awards. The Celebration of Architecture and Design Award Program was held at the One UN Plaza Hotel, during the society’s 57th National Conference. Thirtyfive architectural firms were honored for 56 design projects across the country at the banquet. Each entry was judged on elements, including program solution, compelling design statement, visual framework, construction system, details, function, social and environmental implications and overall aesthetics. The two-story, 54,000-square-foot structure includes a 1,500-seat gymnasium, competition-size pool, suspended running track, fitness and aerobics center and classrooms. The use of recyclable and natural materials, such as a grass roof, day lighting and ground-source heat pumps

among other features, earned the building LEED-Silver certification for environmental efficiency. According to the Society, The Wellness Center, completed in 2008, “merges the relationship between building and landscape, and in doing so reduces energy consumption and demonstrates good stewardship of the earth.” The jury noted the “rich use of materials and sculpting light,” and that the center’s design and execution effectively “rejuvenates the body and mind.” Judith Huntington, president of The College of New Rochelle, described the center as a place “to promote wellness of the body, mind and spirit.” She stressed the tremendous impact the center’s technologically advanced class and office space has had on teaching and learning at the college. As a new home for the college’s Blue Angels athletic teams (NCAA Division III volleyball, basketball, swimming, cross country, tennis and softball), Huntington said that the center has “directly contributed to our ability to draw high-quality athletes to the college.”
