he Harvard Business School defines sustainability in business as doing business without negatively impacting the environment, community or society as a whole. For the Westchester County Association (WCA), sustainability no longer is something its members can afford to keep off their radar screens and deal with only when unavoidable.

“Sustainability is now a necessity for wellrun organizations,” WCA said in announcing its recent WCA Sustainable Business Conference that was held at the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University in White Plains.

Business executives from organizations including Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, Dandelion Energy, Con Edison, Nestle, PKF O’Connor Davies and Clearstream Capital participated with representatives of government and agencies such as the New York Power Authority

Stamford Partnership makes ‘Room for All’ in new networking event

BY JUSTIN MCGOWN jmcgown@westfairinc.com

T

he Stamford Partnership held the inaugural Room for All event at the Palms Nightclub on July 20.

Set in the evening to the sounds of smooth jazz and conversation, Room for All was designed not only to provide a networking event for early and mid-career entrepreneurs from across Stamford and the surrounding area, but also to improve access to the resources available to small-business owners and those who aspire to become

self-employed.

“You know that song, ‘I wanna be in the room where it happens’ from Hamilton?” said Isis Goulbourne, the founder of Stamford Events and the head of community for the Stamford Partnership, to the event audience. “We sat down and asked how we can create a room where stuff is just happening.”

“You want to find grants and resources and all of the things that you might see other business owners getting that we just don’t know how to get access to,” Goulbourne added. “Our idea was to bring

everybody together in one space along with some of those resources, and also to bring everybody together because a strong network is necessary for a really thriving business community.”

“We are bringing together members of the entrepreneurial and smallbusiness community with the sole goal and focus to connect them to free resources that already exist and have been available for many years throughout Stamford and Fairfield County,” said Kate Berg, operations director of the Stamford Partnership.

Representatives from Advance CT, the

Woman’s Business Council and the Small Business Development Center were present to meet with those in attendance and help them understand the benefits they can access through their various organizations.

Two breakout sessions held in the private rooms followed the networking portion. In one room, a fireside-chat-styled discussion between Goulborne and Renell Domond, co-owner and founder of Stamford-based Juice Kings, explored what those who have just started their own business or are contemplating their own

Stratford’s Cruvinel Brothers provide martial arts training in a friendly environment

BY EDWARD ARRIAZA earriaza@westfairinc.com

T

his year marks the 10th anniversary for Cruvinel Brothers Training Center, which offers students of all ages instruction in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu from its facility at 60 Access Road in Stratford.

Instructor Thiago Ferreira is not bashful about what he believes to be the top quality of martial arts education present at Cruvinel Brothers.

“All modesty aside, our instructors are probably the best instructors in southern Connecticut right now,” he said, adding that the instructors have each competed for more than 10 years, with Ferreira himself having practiced Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu since 1994.

“We’ve been putting our skills to the test and refining how to teach those skills and to pass it on,” he said. “That combination of good teaching plus actual experience in competition that comes from all of us being so active as competitors over the years makes for a unique mix.”

Ferreira hails from Brazil and had struck a relation with the titular brothers, Marcos Paulo Cruvinel and Joao Paulo Cruvinel, through mutual friends while participating

in tournaments in New York City in 2018. The Cruvinels, who previously operated out of Bridgeport, were impressed with Ferreira’s capabilities as an instructor and offered him a permanent position at the Stratford gym, which opened shortly after in 2019.

The training center has participated in over 100 tournaments and won more than 15 championships, and its latest tournament will be having been hosted by the nonprofit Tap Cancer Out as a fundraiser for cancer research and treatFCBJ

ments. Cruvinel Brothers will also participate in an upcoming Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu championship in New Haven hosted by the International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation from Aug. 13-14.

“Our goal is to bring in a lot of competitors and showcase our skills and the way we teach and the way we run things in our gym,” Ferreira said of how the center will approach the upcoming championship.

and sparring, Ferreira pointed out that this “highly competitive” environment is also mixed in with a healthy dose of laid-back friendliness, which does not adhere too much to strictness or tradition.

“I think it’s very noticeable that we try and keep a very ‘chill’ environment,” he said. “We try and keep it very friendly, very playful.”

This competitive yet friendly atmosphere resonates well within the gym’s community, Ferreira added, observing the approximately 200-person student body is around 40% under 18 years of age, 40% older than 28 and the remaining 20% between 18 and 28 years of age.

Recently, the training center has seen an expansion to its martial arts offerings with the introduction of Muay Thai training.

“The instructor we have now has been building his classes over the last six or seven months,” Ferreira said. “It’s growing really well.”

Looking forward, Cruvinel Brothers is seeking to expand into other locations. The center will be opening a gym in Monroe in August and is looking into opening a new location in Norwalk and potentially Greenwich while possibly reopening its original Bridgeport location.

Mount Kisco architects claim contractor used weak concrete on lux home

BY BILL HELTZEL Bheltzel@westfairinc.com

A

Mount Kisco architectural — development firm is demanding $715,000 from a contractor who allegedly used defective concrete for the foundation of a luxury oceanfront home.

Steven and Michael Gaetano’s 232 Dune LLC sued Priority Concrete Inc. July 19 in Westchester Supreme Court for allegedly pouring “grossly defective” concrete for a multi-million-dollar house in Quogue, Suffolk County.

The Gaetanos are the principals in G2 Design + Development in Mount Kisco.

Their project development company is named after the address for the seven bedroom, seven full bathroom, 8,300-square-foot house they built at 232 Dune Road, Westhampton Beach.

The two-acre gated property has 128 feet of ocean frontage on the Atlantic side and views of Shinnecock Bay on the north side. It features floor-to-ceiling glass doors, rooftop decks, a heated saltwater infinity-edge pool and spa, two outdoor kitchens and a tennis court.

It was listed for sale last year at $20.5 million, according to a news account, and sold this past April for $17.5 million.

Dune hired Priority Concrete in 2020 to install the concrete foundation for $77,600. The contracting company had been formed in 2018, according to a state corporation record, and was based in a small house in a residential section of Centereach, Suffolk County.

The contract specified concrete that could handle a load or pressure of at least 4,000 psi (pounds per square inch), the complaint states, in keeping with the building code and industry standards.

But when core samples from the columns, beams and slab were tested, a laboratory found that the concrete could only handle 1,820 psi to 2,720 psi.

Dune notified Priority that the concrete had to be replaced, the complaint states, but the contractor refused to do so.

Efforts to find contact information for Priority, to ask for its side of the story, failed.

Dune says it spent $650,000 to remove and replace the foundation and $65,000 on legal fees.

Dune sued Scottsdale Insurance Co. in 2020 for not covering the costs of the concrete error. Scottsdale claimed that the work was excluded from coverage.

That case is pending in U.S. District Court in White Plains.

Dune is represented in the Priority case by White Plains attorney David Feureisen.

Daybase opens in Harrison to give workers a new place to base

CLICK HERE FOR VIDEO

BY PETER KATZ Pkatz@westfairinc.com

T

he retail section of the AvalonBay development at the Harrison Metro-North train station has its first street-level business in place with the July 25 opening of a Daybase outlet. Daybase provides space for people to work when they elect not to or can’t commute to an office and at the same time are unable or unwilling to work at home. The location at 326 Halstead Ave. is the second in what Daybase intends to be a widespread network.

Daybase was started by a group that had worked together at the co-working space company WeWork, which as of March 31 reported having a system-wide real estate portfolio consisting of 765 locations in 38 countries.

Village of Harrison Mayor and town of Harrison Supervisor Richard Dionisio, members of the Harrison Town Council and Harrison Planning Board, Westchester County Executive George Latimer and Deputy County Executive Ken Jenkins were among those attending the ribbon cutting and opening of Daybase’s 5,000-square-foot street-level retail space.

“We learned so clearly in the past two years we really need to rethink the nature of work, especially where it takes place,” Steinhaus said. “Even before the pandemic, the idea of spending hours commuting five days a week away from your neighborhood, away from your community, away from the rest of your life to sit in an office all day was a bit outmoded and at the same time working from home presented some challenges.

Not everyone has a reliable work-from-home setup. The distractions, the demands of being at home can prevent us from effectively doing our jobs. We founded Daybase to give everyone with this new hybrid working life a better workday.”

Steinhaus explained that if an employer has a policy that requires workers to be in the office three days a week, that company’s employees could use a Daybase facility near their homes for all or part of the other two days. Daybase’s concept offers pay-as-you-go pricing as well as membership fee options.

“We created Daybase for the times when your office is too far, but home is too close,” Steinhaus said. “Not only does Westchester County have a vibrant economy in its own right, it is also home to thousands of Manhattan office workers who used to commute into New York City five days a week.”

Dionisio said, “I believe this is a great thing for our town. It is moving us forward.

We’re all behind them, we wish them success

Latimer said that the opening of Daybase reflects making adjustments to changes in our way of life and daily routines.

“I still remember the days when I was in Manhattan running to a bank of pay phones to dial a number and talk to someone,” Latimer said. “Accepting change is what this is about. Harrison was one of the original economic development corridors in Westchester County when the Platinum Mile was created.

Now here we are; it’s 30 or 40 years later, and Harrison once again is at the edge.”

Latimer noted that the Daybase location is in the heart of Harrison, unlike the major corporate parks that positioned their workforces away from the downtown.

“We wanted to build a product that would actually enable people to be engaged and productive during the times they weren’t going into that hub office, and during the times that home just didn’t work for what they needed to accomplish,” Steinhaus told the Business Journals. “That product and that experience are intended to be completely flexible, consumed completely on-demand, meant to be conveniently located. It’s really intended to be for a handful of hours a day during the days when you’re not going into that hub office.”

“Our intention is to find local partners who want to be owners and/or operators of the Daybase concept in basically every town across the country because we believe WCBJ

That’s what we’re trying to build here. A really scalable way of expanding physically is through franchising. It’s a tried-and-true methodology for this.”

Steinhaus said that the company would be reaching out to landlords who have vacant retail space.

“We do think we’re a solution for landlords to monetize excess space, to monetize space that’s been empty, to monetize space that’s been in transition,” Steinhaus said. “We are very excited to partner with landlords.

Our franchise community will include landlords but it won’t be exclusive to landlords.”

BRIEFS Former Norwalk mayor Bill Collins dies Bill Collins, who served four terms as mayor of Norwalk in the 1970s and 1980s, died on July 21 in an automobile accident in Farmington, New Mexico. He was 87 years old.

Collins was born and raised in Norwalk, graduating from Norwalk High School before receiving an accounting degree from Lehigh University and an MBA from Stanford University. Following his studies, he served as a finance officer in the U.S. Army.

Collins served three terms on Norwalk’s Common Council for three terms before he was elected to the Connecticut House of Representatives in 1974. A Democrat representing the 140th House district, he was re-elected in 1976 but stepped away from the state legislature in 1977 to run for mayor of Norwalk. He served two terms before being defeated in the 1981 election by Republican challenger Thomas O’Connor.

Collins challenged O’Connor in 1983 and won the election and won another term in 1985.

Outside of politics, Collins founded Minuteman Media, which became OtherWords in 1998. He was also a leading figure in promotion of the commercial redevelopment of South Norwalk.

Unvaccinated Rockland residents urged to get polio shots Rockland County Executive Ed Day and County Health Commissioner Dr. Patricia Schnabel Ruppert are urging residents who are either unvaccinated against polio or have not completed the polio vaccination series to get vaccinated as soon as possible.

The warning follows a report from July 19 that a Rockland County resident contracted polio, which marks the first time in over a decade that a new polio case was recorded in the U.S. The Rockland County government did not identify the patient, although a report in New York Jewish Week stated the patient was an Orthodox Jewish man who was unvaccinated and is now experiencing paralysis.

Polio is a highly contagious virus.

Vaccines to combat the virus were introduced in the 1950s and the last naturally occurring cases of polio in the U.S. was in 1979. However, recent state data determined that only 60% of Rockland County

children have received all three doses of the polio vaccine by age 2, compared to more than 92% of children nationwide. During 2021, the completion rate for childhood vaccinations in Rockland County was 42%, the lowest in the state.

“The Rockland County Department of Health is working with our local health care system and community leaders to notify the public and make polio vaccination available,” said Ruppert. “We are monitoring the situation closely

and working with the New York State Department of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to respond to this emergent public health issue to protect the health and wellbeing of county residents.”

Day added that the continued risk of polio decades after the introduction of the vaccine “shows you just how relentless it is. Do the right thing for your child and the greater good of your community and have your child vaccinated now.”

Sustainability— and the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) in presentations and discussions of various sustainability subjects before an estimated 150 attendees.

Andrew Ward, founder and managing partner of Clearstream Capital, noted, “Sustainability means different things to everyone, people and businesses. We all have to figure out how to decarbonize and reduce our (carbon) footprint. Natural gas will be with us for a very long time. We can’t switch to all-electric overnight. We need pathways to decarbonization.”

Doreen Harris, president and CEO of NYSERDA, in her keynote address to the conference’s plenary session, said, “It’s big changes that we are talking about. What you are each doing at the local level is hugely important. Looking at the investments being made in Westchester County is indicative of the commitment and spread we need to see in New York. To reach these economies of scale, we do it through meetings like this.”

Shannon Smith, chief growth officer at Dandelion Energy, which specializes in geothermal heating and air conditioning installations, reported, “Our main competition at Dandelion is consumers’ inertia. People are already stressed and overwhelmed in their day-to-day lives, and this becomes just one more thing to explore. It’s easier to stay with what they know.”

Molly Dee-Ramasamy, director of deep carbon reduction for the mechanical and electrical consulting engineering firm Jaros, Baum & Bolles, said, “We’re very involved in the electrification of some of the most iconic buildings in New York state and it is possible to achieve carbon reduction. There’s reason to be positive.”

Michael Romita, president and CEO of the WCA, told the Business Journals, “Sustainability and sustainability management are probably the most important talked-about concepts in business strategy right now. We need to introduce these concepts to the regional business community in an organized and programmatic fashion.”

Romita said that having WCA host the first-ever business sustainability conference in the area is a step in creating familiarity with those concepts.

“There are big changes coming to our regional businesses as a result of New York’s climate laws. These are going to have a profound impact on day-to-day business operations, on transportation, on housing, on business development and more,” Romita said. “Our businesses need to learn how to adapt and respond to these challenges or they are going to get left behind.

In addition to that, if you look at what’s

Michael Romita addresses the audience at the WCA Sustainability Conference.

Among those attending the WCA Sustainability Conference, from left: Westchester County Executive George Latimer; Jane Solnick, director of corporate affairs at Con Edison; Doreen Harris, president and CEO of NYSERDA; Susan Fox, president and CEO of White Plains Hospital; WCA Board Chair Christopher B. Fisher, partner at Cuddy & Feder LLP; and WCA Board Vice Chair Horace E. Anderson, dean of the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University. happening at the federal level, there is an inability to take action. We haven’t had a federal energy policy probably in a couple of generations, so these issues are going to fall more and more to the states and the local level and onto the private sector. We need to learn how to adapt and evolve as a business community.”

Romita said that WCA has multiple sustainability efforts underway such as providing targeted advocacy, creating training tools, hosting a clean-energy portal, developing possible grant opportunities and presenting conferences such as the one held on July 24 at Pace.

“One of the takeaways from the conference is that even though sustainability has been around for a while, there still is some confusion as to how to define the issue and what it represents,” Romita said. “We need WCBJ

to bring some conceptual clarity to the issue and avoid ‘greenwashing,’ false labels and irrelevant distractions. The only way to do that is to be finite, specific and to use measurable datapoints to make progress.”

Romita said that businesses need to be aware of more than just what’s been appearing on the news with record temperatures being reported, wildfires raging out of control and high-intensity storms. He said that if a business is trying to get a new real estate development approved now in Westchester County, questions likely will be raised about flood mitigation, whether energy-efficient appliances and building materials will be used and whether the building will be dependent on fossil fuels.

“I’d say probably 90% of the energy used in downstate New York is still created from traditional fossil fuels but if you look

at upstate New York it has actually flipped where 90% of electricity is actually carbon-free; it comes primarily from nuclear and hydro,” Romita said. “New buildings are going to have to start being built by using electric only and existing buildings and assets are going to have to convert from the use of traditional fossil fuels to electricity. That’s going to be incredibly expensive.”

Romita, who moderated two of the panels during the conference, observed that they were contentious by design.

“What we didn’t want to do was host yet another conference where all of the panels were in complete agreement. We wanted to foster constructive dialogue. It’s okay for people to disagree; that’s how you make progress,” Romita said.

Romita said that based upon the feedback they’ve been getting, sustainability is a subject that will regularly be covered by the WCA. It’s an area with which he’s familiar because his background includes having managed an energy company and practicing environmental and energy law.

“The WCA has been pretty proactive about identifying this as one of the primary pillars of growing the regional economy.

Now with New York state taking aggressive action, businesses need to understand how to make these concepts work for them,” Romita said. “Wind and solar are going to be a big piece of this. Hydro is going to be a big piece of this. Energy storage is going to be a big piece of this. Think of it as business strategy viewed through the lens of environmentalism and corporate responsibility.”

Fairfield County’s Q2 housing market records easing in sales price acceleration

Phall@westfairinc.com

T

he residential real estate market in Fairfield County saw a slowing in year-over-year activity during the second quarter of this year, with fewer sales and a relatively mild year-over-year increase in home prices, according to new data from Douglas Elliman.

The average sales price for a Fairfield County residence in the second quarter was $970,396, up by 18.6% from the $818,477 price in the first quarter and up 2.4% from the $947,230 price from one year earlier.

The second quarter’s median sales price of $600,000 was up by 22.4% from the first quarter’s $490,000 and up 5.3% from the $570,000 in the second quarter of 2021.

The total number of sales closed in the second quarter was 3,230, an increase from the 2,466 in the previous quarter but down from 4,061 one year earlier. Listed properties spent fewer days on the market: 42 days in the second quarter versus 59 days in the first quarter and 60 days in the second

quarter of 2021.

The active inventory listing for the quarter totaled 1,859 properties, up from 1,038 in the previous quarter but down from 2,254 from the previous year. Fairfield County ended the quarter with a 1.7-month supply of homes for sale, slightly up from the 1.3-month supply in the first quarter and unchanged from one year earlier.

Among property types, the average sales price for a single-family home was $1.14 million, up from the $984,117 in the first quarter and up from $1.13 million one year before. The median sales price for a single-family home was $715,000, up from $600,000 in the previous quarter and up from $690,000 one year earlier.

Fairfield County’s condos sold for an average price of $460,824, up from $406,366 in the first quarter and up from $406,209 in 2021’s second quarter.

The luxury market, which is defined as the upper 10% of sales and encompasses both single-family homes and condos, recorded an average sales price of $3.61 million, up from $3.24 million in the previ-

ous quarter and up from $3.57 million one year before. The median sales price of $2.88 million was up from $2.80 million in the first quarter but down from $2.97 million in the previous year.

Among the Fairfield County submarkets, Greenwich had the highest average sales price for a single-family home at $3.10 million and Darien had the highest average sales price for a condo at $1.36 million.

‘Room for All’—

entrepreneurial endeavor need to know about the road ahead.

In the other private room, the discussion focused on topics for those seeking to bring their existing business to a higher level. Beck moderated the panel, which consisted of State Farm Insurance Agent and Franchise owner George Boyce, Encaptiv founder and CEO Shannon Malkin Daniels, and serial tech entrepreneur Daniel Johnson.

The event, which had over 90 people RSVP, was a hit with attendees. Stephanie Lopez, a therapist and consultant in Connecticut and New York, was one of those who appreciated her experience at the event.

“I’m very interested in starting a consulting company and building it, and it’s useful to build that up with the resources here and also network with the community,” Lopez said. “I met a lot of wonderful people that have a similar mindset and understanding of how if we just come together, we can get the results we want and build a stronger community.”

Lopez also thought that the choice of an atypical venue was a selling point.

“I think sometimes a lot of people shy away from networking events, but this brought so many resources that are right at our fingertips together that we’re able to use and implement,” she said. “It was great.”

Why a Bridgeport gig driver remains optimistic about ridesharing

BY EDWARD ARRIAZA earriaza@westfairinc.com

W

ith the country still reeling from high fuel prices and other economic troubles and with a potential recession on the horizon, the gig economy continues to work around the resulting strain on operations. But many in the gig driving sector are giving up on ridesharing as a sustainable source of income in the face of high costs.

Such persons include Bridgeport resident Lynn Howell-Mosher, who stepped away from ridesharing via Uber, citing the high cost of gas, in order to focus on her business, Rapha Massage.

But not all gig drivers are discouraged by these conditions — Howell-Mosher’s husband, Daryl Howell, for instance, continues to rideshare and plans on doing so for the foreseeable future.

Howell drives from his home in Bridgeport to his job at the post office in Stamford from 3 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. On most nights, and after concluding his shift, Howell begins his ridesharing session for Uber, which lasts about two and a half hours.

Howell’s approach to ridesharing is freeform, with no rigid adherence to a strict strategy, provided he is earning enough at the end of his session.

“I go wherever, whenever,” Howell said, “There’s a lot of people that don’t care for two-, three-mile trips or whatever. To me, it adds up.”

September will mark the fourth year Howell has worked as an independent contractor for the ridesharing company. His reasons for getting into the business is simple and understandable.

“The extra money, if I’m being honest,” he said.

Extra cash aside, Howell also finds gig driving enjoyable, stating that practically all passengers are amiable and responsible.

“People, for the most part, are really nice,” Howell said of the more-or-less 5,500 passengers he has driven. “Despite how many trips I’ve done, I’d say I could count on one, maybe two hands, the difficult passengers I’ve ever had.”

Indeed, Howell and most of his passengers hit it off, engaging in small talk, discussing, among other things, the Dallas Cowboys. His experiences contrast immensely with stories of some gig

As an independent contractor, Howell recognizes that the long-running debate on whether ridesharing drivers should be categorized as independent contractors or employees does not affect him the same way it would individuals who make a living through gig driving.

“Some of these guys,” Howell said, “they have to do this full time — pay the bills, provide for their families. I mean, I respect that so much.”

Both part-time and full-time gig drivers have maintenance costs to grapple with in an efficient manner so as to get the most out of ridesharing. Naturally, given the high-

er-than-normal miles driven and variety of passengers encountered whose cleanliness varies, gig drivers put more money into keeping their cars clean and functional. And long hours on the road means frequent tire and oil changes.

“A guy commented to me at Firestone, ‘Weren’t you here a little over a month ago for an oil change?’” Howell recalled with good humor.

These maintenance duties also translate to extra visits to the pump, which becomes onerous at a time when gas prices have been elevated. Howell stated he has been spending $100 to $125 more a week to fill his tank, although he believed prices will continue to go down.

“I’m guessing they may take a little bit of a dip and then around Thanksgiving, go back,” Howell predicted. “That tends to happen a lot.”

Another wrinkle gig drivers contend with is passengers’ reticence to use ridesharing services in response to the languid economy.

Howell has observed a dip in the number of passengers using Uber in his usual routes, but he intends to persevere.

“I’ll keep driving the way I do now, a minimum 15 hours a week,” Howell stated.

Purchase company sues Baby Phat for $10M

BY BILL HELTZEL Bheltzel@westfairinc.com

A

Purchase business that owns part of the Baby Phat fashion brands is suing another co-owner for $10 million for allegedly stealing funds.

Loconte Family LLC accused Keyway Pride Limited of Sacramento, California, of fraud in a July 7 complaint filed in Westchester Supreme Court.

Loconte contends that Tim Leissner, an admitted fraudster and the estranged husband of Baby Phat Holding Co. CEO Kimora Lee Simmons, somehow got his hands on Baby Phat funds.

Loconte “is perplexed how Keyway allowed Leissner ... to simply convert $5 million of cash without Keyway’s knowledge,” the complaint states.

Attempts to find contact information for Simmons and Keyway, to ask for their side of the story, were unsuccessful.

Simmons — a model, TV personality, designer and businesswoman — founded Baby Phat in 1999 as an offshoot of the Phat Farm clothing brand established by her former husband, Russell Simmons (perhaps better known for creating the hip-hop

Kimora Lee Simmons, 2020. recording label Def Jam Recordings).

In 2012, Loconte Family LLC, headed

by Anthony LoConte, bought Phat Farm Holding Co., the owner of the Phat Farm and Baby Phat brands. Loconte and Phat WCBJ

Farm are based at the RiverView Purchase building.

In 2017, in a deal proposed by Tim Leissner, a former Goldman Sachs managing director who had married Simmons, Keyway bought a 70% interest in the Baby Phat part of Phat Farm.

Simmons was appointed CEO, president, treasurer and secretary.

The complaint does not disclose the purchase price, but it says Keyway also agreed to contribute $5 million in capital.

Months after the new deal was struck, Leissner was indicted on charges of violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and money laundering in connection to the theft of billions of dollars from the Malaysian sovereign wealth fund. In 2018, he pleaded guilty to personally stealing $200 million and to paying bribes to foreign officials. He is scheduled for sentencing in February in Brooklyn federal court.

Last year, Loconte sold Phat Farm Holdings to Baby Phat Holding Co., essentially giving Simmons majority control of the entire Phat fashion line that she and her ex-husband, Russell Simmons, had founded.

All Baby Phat cash flow would go to Loconte until the purchase price, undis-

closed in the complaint, was satisfied, and Baby Phat would make monthly payments on a bank loan that Loconte had received.

Keyway provided reports and assurances that all was well financially, the $5 million capital contribution was secure, and Baby Phat was on track to achieve greater success, according to the complaint.

But in March, Loconte was told that the $5 million capital contribution was missing and Baby Phat did not have the funds to cover the bank loan payments.

Recently, Keyway allegedly claimed that Leissner, acting alone, had loaned the $5 million to third parties.

“Even assuming Leissner did solely steal this money,” the complaint states, Simmons “should have noticed $5 million in cash was suddenly missing and should have taken immediate action to correct this wrong.”

The complaint does not name Simmons or Leissner as defendants. It accuses Keyway of fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, and conversion, and is demanding $10 million.

Loconte is represented by Manhattan attorneys James T. Kim and Arnold P. Picinich.

As part of this reorganization, Dr. William Erhardt, M.D., previously chief medical officer of Oligomerix, will become president and head of development and operations.

Erhardt’s primary focus will be to lead the organization into the clinic and take on all the obligations and responsibilities of that task for the entire organization.

Dr. James Moe will remain CEO and will assume the new responsibility of leading the Discovery Group as head of research and strategy, working in collaboration with Chief Scientific Officer Dr. Eliot Davidowitz.

Additionally, Chief Financial Officer Robert Foerster will assume the additional role of chief operating officer.

“Oligomerix continues to make signif-

How to file an amended tax return

BY NORMAN G. GRILL

I

f you find a mistake on your tax return after you’ve filed it, don’t panic. In most cases, all you have to do is file an amended tax return.

Taxpayers should use Form 1040X, Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, to file an amended (corrected) tax return. An amended tax return should only be filed to correct errors or make changes to your original tax return.

For example, you should amend your return if you need to correct your income, deductions or credits. Taxpayers can also amend their return electronically if there is a change to their filing status or to add a dependent previously claimed on another return.

You normally do not need to file an amended return to correct math errors because the IRS automatically makes those changes for you. Also, do not file an amended return because you forgot to attach tax forms, such as W-2s or schedules. The IRS normally will mail you a request asking for those.

Generally, you must file Form 1040X within three years from the date you filed your original tax return or within two years of the date you paid the tax, whichever is later. For example, the last day for most people to file a 2019 claim for a refund is April 15, 2023. Special rules may apply to certain claims, so check with the IRS for additional information.

Amending a Tax Return If you need to amend your 2019, 2020 and 2021 Forms 1040 or 1040-SR, you can now file the Form 1040-X, Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return electronically using available tax software products. If you are amending more than one tax return, prepare a separate 1040X for each return and note the tax year of the return you are amending in the correct location at the top of Form 1040X. In general, taxpayers still have the option to submit a paper version of Form 1040-X and should follow the instructions for preparing and submitting the paper form.

Taxpayers are allowed to file up to three “accepted” Amended Returns electronically.

After the third accepted Amended Return, all subsequent attempts will be rejected.

The normal processing time of up to 16 weeks (once received by the IRS) also applies to Amended Returns filed electronically.

Calling the IRS will not speed up the processing time of an amended return. Taxpayers

should note that direct deposits are not allowed at this time for Amended Returns.

Additional Refunds and Taxes If you are filing an amended tax return to claim an additional refund, wait until you have received your original tax refund before filing Form 1040X. Amended returns take up to 16 weeks to process. You may cash your original refund check while waiting for the additional refund.

If you owe additional taxes, file Form 1040X and pay the tax as soon as possible to minimize interest and penalties on unpaid taxes. You can use IRS Direct Pay to pay your tax directly from your checking or savings account.

For tax years other than 2019, 2020 and 2021 1040 and 1040-SR returns or any other tax types, amended returns must be filed by paper. Also, if amending a prior year return — and the original return for that year was filed on paper during the current processing WCBJ

year — the amended return must be filed by paper. You will find the appropriate IRS address to mail your return to in the Form 1040X instructions.

If you need to mail more than one amended tax return to the IRS, you must use a separate envelope for each return.

Starting in June 2022, more forms can now be amended electronically. These include people filing corrections to the Form 1040-NR, U.S. Nonresident Alien Income Tax Return and Forms 1040-SS, U.S. SelfEmployment Tax Return (including the Additional Child Tax Credit for Bona Fide Residents of Puerto Rico), and Forms 1040PR, Self-Employment Tax Return—Puerto Rico.

Additionally, a new electronic checkbox has been added for Forms 1040/1040-SR, 1040-NR and 1040-SS/1040-PR to indicate that a superceding return is being filed electronically. A superceded return is one that is filed after the originally filed return but

submitted before the due date, including extensions.

You can track the status of your amended tax return for the current year three weeks after you file. You can also check the status of amended returns for up to three prior years.

To use the “Where’s My Amended Return” tool on the IRS website, enter your taxpayer identification number (usually your Social Security number), date of birth and zip code. If you have filed amended returns for more than one year, you can select each year individually to check the status of each.

Tax matters can be complicated and expensive if not properly handled. If you think you need to amend a return, consider consulting a tax professional.

HUDSON VALLEY Plan to redevelop site in Beacon where celebrities once recuperated

Rendering of a portion of the proposed Mirbeau project.

BY PETER KATZ Pkatz@westfairinc.com

A

company that operates upscale inns and spas at Rhinebeck and Skaneateles in New York state and Plymouth, Massachusetts, along with a standalone spa in Albany wants to build a new inn and spa in Beacon. The Mirbeau Companies has applied for approval to build The Mirbeau Inn & Spa Beacon as part of a master plan for the 64-acre Tioronda Estate. The site includes the historic Howland Mansion and former Craig House sanitarium, where it is said celebrities such as Truman Capote, Marilyn Monroe and Jackie Gleason recuperated from various problems ranging from alcohol abuse to depression.

The company is seeking site plan approval and a special use permit. The landscape architect for the project, Henry Thomas of LRC Consulting in Poughkeepsie, said that they will preserve historic buildings on the site. The mansion will be the main building with four rooms and site amenities; the spa building will be three stories with 60 hotel rooms, grotto rooms and an outdoor event area. Up to 15 cottages will be added to the site, each with two or three bedrooms. The conceptual plan proposes restoration of the 1859 Howland Estate mansion and 1872 Hunt Music Room.

Mirbeau proposes creating The Spa Château building, a full-service garden-level health spa with women’s and men’s locker rooms changing rooms, showers, steam rooms, and sauna. It would have massage and facial treatment rooms along with a nail salon and a state-of-the-art fitness center that

Rendering of proposed new entrance for the inn and spa. would offer private and group fitness programs. There would be areas that guests can use for rest and relaxation along with space for staff support, storage and building mechanicals. The spa would include an exterior Mirbeau Aqua Terrace with heated whirlpools and lounging areas that provide scenic views of the property. The spa would total 25,168 square feet.

According to Thomas, they intend to use existing driveways and road beds and create new access points to the north of the site and a secondary access to the spa area.

Jonathan DalPos, vice president of Mirbeau Companies, which is based in Skaneateles near Syracuse, said, “We are a family-owned and managed hotel and wellness company. My stepfather and mother founded the company a little over 20 years ago. They recognized in the hospitality industry that there were destination properties that allowed you to escape and kind of find balance in your life again. However, the probWCBJ

lem was at the time they were secluded to the far coasts. It would take long distances and great travel time to get there.”

DalPos said that vacationers often found that by the time they reached their distant destinations, they were so stressed from traveling that it was difficult to just relax. He said the Mirbeau concept was to create near-urban getaways to which people could easily drive within one to two hours. The inn and spa in Skaneateles was their first project and has 34 rooms with a 12,000-square-foot spa.

“We were received pretty well by a number of happy guests. We became pretty acclaimed in the international travel industry and had people coming from all over the world to visit us,” DalPos said. “We became the number one employer in the village of Skaneateles as well as the largest tax contributor.”

He said they were able to build their second property in 2014 in Plymouth. Next was the inn and spa in Rhinebeck.

“Dutchess County commissioned a study where they realized that Rhinebeck had this problem where they were getting a lot of New York City day trips, a lot of visitors coming up for the day,” DelPos said. “If they could keep them overnight, they would have substantially more to spend not only in the town of Rhinebeck but also in the county. We thought that we could deliver the accommodations that would allow the New York City guests to stay overnight.”

DelPos said that in the second year of operation in Rhinebeck they expected a 58% occupancy rate but have actually achieved a 75% occupancy rate.

“We think Beacon has every bit the opportunity to be a destination just as Rhinebeck is,” DelPos said.

David Bois of Arrowstreet Architecture said, “We’re very excited about this project because it’s very different than the others.

It involves historic restoration. Our goal is to bring the building back, to restore these spaces.”

Thomas said, “Realistically, the site doesn’t look exactly like it did back in 1860, 1862, but there are still some good substances and parts and pieces left. There are some trees that we believe are authentic from that era. Basically, the master plan is centered on the historical mansion and the additions to it in terms of hotel facilities, and from that everything else revolves.”

The Beacon Planning Board has declared itself lead agency for the environmental review that will be undertaken. Mirbeau is hoping to break ground in the last quarter of 2023 and complete the first phase of construction in 2024.

HUDSON VALLEY New Report Reveals Attraction of Hudson Valley

and life sciences. In the case of this particular migration, I think it’s fair to say that people were attracted to the Hudson Valley because it was less densely populated than the places they were moving from. It was an escape with outdoor spaces to safely recreate during the pandemic.”

Bosch said that HVPFP has long been respected as an objective voice for planning and consulting.

“Across more than five decades, Pattern has focused on government efficiency and effectiveness, community development, urban planning, demographic analysis, housing, transportation, infrastructure, main street revitalization and other topics that affect the lives of our neighbors,” Bosch said.

The “Moving In, Moving Out” report was based on data released in late spring by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that uses tax returns to track the movement of people between counties.

“These data are important for a few reasons. We know that a lot of people moved into our region during the pandemic, but these IRS migration data offer the first quantitative assessment of that trend,” Bosch said. “They put real numbers to a trend that has been largely anecdotal up until now. These data do not include the entire period of the pandemic. We would expect to get a more complete look when the IRS releases its next batch of data, probably sometime next year.”

According to Bosch, this is the first time in recent years that the Hudson Valley has gained population from migration.

“The region had been losing approximately 5,000 people per year to outward migration, generally from young families and retirees moving out of the region,” Bosch said. “For approximately 15 years, those people had generally moved out of the Hudson Valley to two categories of places. Many moved to New York City or Albany because of high-paying jobs and a general return to urban centers and walkable living.

Others moved to Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina and Arizona — places that fit the bill of better weather and a cheaper standard of living.”

Bosch said that the region’s leaders must continue to work on strategies that can attract and retain young families in the Hudson Valley.

“This is important for the health of our communities, enrollment in our schools, having an adequate workforce for our businesses and many other reasons,” Bosch said. “New residents often bring creativity, new business ideas, investment and other benefits to our communities.”

he Hudson Valley experienced a net gain from migration in 20192020 for the first time in a decade and it was a byproduct of Covid-19, according to “Moving In, Moving Out,” a special report released by Hudson Valley Pattern for Progress (HVPFP), which is based in Newburgh. The report said that 48,642 people moved from the city to the Hudson Valley while 15,248 moved out of the region and into the city, resulting in a net gain for the Hudson Valley of 33,394 people.

Portions of the Hudson Valley north of Route 84 saw a fairly significant migration of people into the region. There also was a similar migration noted as well into Westchester County.

Founded in 1965, the regional nonprofit HVPFP is a policy, planning and research organization that promotes regional, balanced, sustainable and equitable solutions that enhance the growth and vitality of the Hudson Valley.

“While the data does not explain why they moved here, we do know from interviews and other qualitative information that people were seeking to leave densely populated areas and more to smaller cities and rural towns. This trend arose from concerns that people were more at risk of contracting the coronavirus if they lived in densely populated environments,” Adam Bosch, president and CEO of HVPFP told the Business Journals. He said that many people were familiar with the Hudson Valley, having second homes or vacationing in the area, and through the use of digital software they could still maintain their businesses in the city.

“A lot of things are attractive about the Hudson Valley. Its proximity to the city makes it a great place to live and commute to work. We also have a lot of great employers in the region,” Bosch said. “The Hudson Valley is also attractive to new residents because of its natural beauty, mix of urban centers, its preserved mountains and forest land, great restaurants and craft beverage businesses, and more. Our region also has some industries that are growing and thriving, such as TV and film, biotech

CONTRIBUTING WRITER What’s driving Port Chester’s real estate boom?

BY MICHAEL RACKENBERG

O

ver the past five years, Port Chester has been one of the most soughtout places for commercial real estate investors and developers.

Nestled between Rye, Rye Brook and Greenwich, the village has always been known as a destination of wonderful restaurants and entertainment.

However, many of the buildings were old, in poor condition and needed major capital improvements. Outside investors were starting to take notice of Port Chester as “transit-oriented development” or “TOD” was becoming a primary focus for many. It was an opportunity to capture value by transforming downtown areas.

In the early part of 2015, I focused attention on commercial real estate in Port Chester, with the goal of knowing the name of every building owner in the village. I would walk up and down the streets canvassing the area, cold calling and gathering information. Quickly, I learned that many of these buildings have been with these owners and their families for generations. The common theme amongst these owners was that the time is now to maximize their returns in Port Chester.

Buyer demand was very high and one of the first listings I sold, 125 N. Main St. (also known as the BAR Building), sold for its asking price of $1.9 million before hitting the market. Shortly thereafter, I was hired by the owner of 22-28 N. Main St. to market his contiguous properties, which sold for their asking price of $2.6 million.

Many buyers were looking to assemble adjoining buildings with plans to redevelop them. Several were very successful and now have sizeable lots that are primed for new mixed-use developments.

From 2018 through today, over 100 commercial buildings have

14

AUGUST 1, 2022

traded in Port Chester. Many of these buildings were value-add purchases, in which investors would make capital improvements in buildings to increase rents and overall market demand. A large percentage of these properties were mixed-use buildings in the core of the downtown area. These buildings generally had first-floor retail with either office or apartments on the upper floors.

In May 2020, the Port Chester municipal government adopted an innovative, ground-up form-based code that would focus on growth in and around the train station.

Developers believed there would be tremendous demand for millennials and empty nesters looking to downsize.

The area behind the train station is where the CD-6 zoning allows a developer to build up to 12-15 stories. In turn, this land became exponentially more valuable overnight.

The result of the zoning changes created even more motivation for sellers in a market that already had high demand. Hence, more transactions were occurring and continue to do so today. Supply has been the biggest challenge and most properties that come to the market have multiple offers in a short amount of time.

Rental growth in the community has been exceptional. The average asking rent within the village is up 14% since 2019. Mixed-use buildings generally trade with a capitalization rate of 6.5% (+/-), but as supply continues to contract, 6% and sub-6% capitalizations rate deals are not uncommon.

There are more projects in front of the Port Chester Industrial Development Agency than ever before. Some of these projects have already broken ground and are under construction. Others are still being proposed or awaiting site plan approval.

Currently, there are 2,690 FCBJ

a l h a l l a- b a s e d G i n s bu r g Development Companies (GDC) says that it has completed renovations at City Square located in downtown White Plains and has brought on board real estate brokerage RM Friedland (RMF) to handle leasing of office space in the complex.

Ginsburg describes the office space elements of City Square as including the 300,000 square foot 15-story Class A building at 50 Main St. The building is 15-stories and offers spaces from 1,500 square feet to a full floor of 23,000 square feet. The top three floors of 1-11 Martine Ave., also part of City Square, feature 60,000 square feet of office space with an express elevator and a private outdoor terrace on the 12th floor.

Martin Ginsburg, founder and principal of Ginsburg Development, said, “Our $94 million investment in City Square reflects a strong belief in the long-term health and viability of the White Plains office market, because only the most powerful of magnets with the right mix of flexible space, unmatched amenities and convenience will attract employees back to the office.”

Among the features being promoted at City Square are a modernized cafeteria with outdoor dining, a state-of-the-art fitness center, an art gallery lounge, a club game room, a lecture hall and training room, a private dining and conference room, an executive board room, underground parking and a dog-friendly two-acre park with a putting green and Bocci Court.

Chris O’Callaghan, RMF’s office managing director, will lead the team responsible for leasing the office space at City Square that includes Robert Taylor, Jillian Reiner and Reed Waggoner.

Sarah Jones-Maturo, president of RMF, said, “We look forward to working closely with GDC on City Square’s exciting relaunch.”

RMF’s report on second quarter 2022 office activity in Westchester said that the rents in the White Plains central business district market remained very flat quarter over quarter, a trend RMF expected to continue.

White Plains real estate lawyers sue landlord over dumpster debris

T

wo White Plains law firms are demanding nearly $136,000 from their landlord for allegedly operating a dirty, rodent-infested building.

Rosman Legal P.C., operated by Robert S. Rosman, and the Law Office of Peter Spino Jr. claim they have been denied the “peaceful and quiet enjoyment” of their office, in a July

10 complaint filed in Westchester Supreme Court against Empire South Broadway LLC. Empire’s attorney, Carl Finger, did not respond to a request for his client’s side of the story.

However, Empire’s parent company, Empire Residential LLC, Stamford, states on its website that one of its core principles is “commitment to excellence and tenant service.” And Empire has put the lawyers on notice that they will be evicted if they do not

pay back rent.

The landlord-tenant dispute centers on the 7-11 Building at 7-11 S. Broadway in downtown White Plains.

Empire bought the 4-story, 70,000-square-foot structure for $9.6 million in 2017.

The company is operated by co-founders Anthony Kolich of Stamford and Jamie Heffernan of Rye. Their portfolio and past projects include apartment buildings, town-

Last year, the Rosman and Spino law firms signed a five year lease for a second-floor office, to begin in September. Both firms specialize in real estate legal services.

The alleged problems began with a twomonth delay in being given possession of the office.

Then some of the electric outlets did not work, according to the complaint, but some lights could not be turned off. Vermin were inside the office and garbage was allowed to accumulate outside under their window.

Last winter, the heating system was inadequate, they claim, but in May and June the heat was on and the office was so hot that they could not invite clients in.

People awaiting Covid-19 testing and vaccines at Formé Urgent Care, another tenant in the building, gathered outside and inside the building, the complaint states. Some of the firms’ employees got sick or would not come to work “because of the risk to their health and safety.”

Many of the offices are vacant or rented on a month-to-month basis, according to the complaint, as Empire makes renovations to convert the building to residences.

At some point, a large dumpster was placed near the building’s rear entrance, under the firms’ window and near the back of the City Center parking garage.

The dumpster was kept filled beyond capacity with construction debris, garbage, “and even medical waste,” the complaint states.

After the lawyers complained about overflowing garbage to the city building department, the complaint states, the dumpster was removed and garbage was left on the pavement in the same place.

Rosman states in an affidavit that Empire has never addressed their concerns. Instead, last month, the landlord demanded unpaid rent of $14,602 and notified the firms that they would be evicted if they don’t pay.

The firms were forced to sue Empire, Rosman states in the affidavit, because of the imminent threat of losing their tenancy without the opportunity to dispute their rent obligations.

The lawyers claim that Empire has violated lease covenants and interfered with their use of the office. They are demanding full rent abatement, $5,834 for the delay in occupying the office, $90,000 for tortious interference with business operations and $40,000 in legal fees. They also are asking the court to block an eviction until the dispute is litigated.

Program Director Dr. Joseph Charleman said, “St. Thomas Aquinas College is the only graduate program in the New York and New Jersey area that prepares graduates in this concentration. The certificate is recognized by health care organization executives and by The College of Healthcare Information Executives.”

The college is accepting applications for the fall 2022 program start. For more, visit stac.edu/MBAHealthcare or email LDerwin@stac.edu.

DRONE PILOT COURSE AT ALL CONNECTICUT CAMPUSES Aquiline Drones Corporation (AD), Connecticut’s only drone manufacturing and technology company, has signed a multiyear agreement to offer its entire online drone pilot certification curriculum at the 17 institutions comprising Connecticut’s State College and University system (CSCU).

The robust online training program consists of two semester-length courses, including preparation for students to take the exam required to become licensed Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certified drone pilots. Specifically, the course will be offered online in two modules, allowing students to complete each at their own pace.

AD created its online drone pilot training program – Flight to the Future – during the pandemic to remedy America’s staggering unemployment rates and prepare the workforce for opportunities in the drone sector. Besides attracting applicants from all parts of the country in diverse industries, the company received numerous inquiries from higher-education institutions that wanted to offer the training as a certification course to their student body.

There are many industry sectors that are being served by drone technology with new use cases cropping up daily. A popFCBJ

ular example is drone spray washing and other external property care services, such as cleaning of roofs, solar panels, gutters, church steeples, hotel and residential facades, insect and pest fumigation, seeding and fertilization of golf courses and residential lawns, among others.

Upon completion of the course, graduates will have a viable entry into employment with an opportunity to own a commercial drone business supported and flexibly financed by AD and federal drone jobs through an Uber-like drone-on-demand app to help them locate missions within their specific geography and designated industry.

Aquiline Drones Corp. is a progressive American drone manufacturer and cloud-solutions company located in the financial district of Hartford, Connecticut.

It is one of four drone airline companies in America, but the only one privately owned by professional aviators. Through Aquiline Drones Indemnity Corp., the company insures its continuum of products and services, as well as those of its partners and affiliates.

Founded by CEO Barry Alexander, AD’s core management comprises highly experienced aviators, systems engineers, IT gurus, military personnel (including veterans) and business strategists who offer superior, real-time data processing and insights.

The program, Chef for a Day, connects local chefs with RMHGHV volunteers who commit to a day of service and create, prepare and serve brunch, dessert and dinner to the families that stay at the House.

Just steps away from the Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital in Valhalla, the House provides a home-away-from-home for families of sick children and serves two meals a day, 365 days a year. Since the House was opened over a decade ago, the staff and volunteers have prepared almost 70,000 meals through their Meals that Heal volunteer program.

The full-size poster depicts silhouettes of 96 buildings with a total inventory of 18.2 million square feet and tracks changes in office space availability from Year-End 2021 to Mid-Year 2022 in larger, primarily multi-tenanted Class A office buildings in Stamford, Norwalk, Greenwich and Westport. The study illustrates the absorption and give-back of direct and sublease space, as well as overall availability

statistics.

“Three of the four submarkets (Stamford, Westport, Norwalk) had an increase in availability, with Greenwich being the only market to decrease,” said John P. Hannigan, co-founder and a principal at Choyce Peterson. “Large blocks of available space dominate the market. Of the 96 buildings surveyed in the four submarkets, amazingly 10 buildings in Stamford and Norwalk (five each) comprise 42% of the overall availability. Interestingly, in the two smaller submarkets of Greenwich and Westport, there is more sublease space available than direct space. “… Statistics reflect the ongoing

trend where companies are continuing to lease space for collaborate work and meetings but allow for flexible workfrom-home schedules, which most often leads to a smaller office space footprint,” said Hannigan.
