UNO Crestwood LLC, located at 445 W. Putnam Ave. in Greenwich, wants to build an apartment complex with 150 units on a site at the Yonkers and Tuckahoe border. The approxi mately 2.87-acre property is at 21 Scarsdale Road and currently has two buildings on it. The larger

building is three stories and was built in 1916. The other building was constructed sometime in the late 1800s.

The plan is to add a two-sto ry addition to the existing main building. This would create a five-story, 75,175-square-foot building with 90 apartments. A new four-story, 67,945-squarefoot building with 60 apartments would be constructed above an existing surface parking lot. The

The property was formerly owned by Sterling National Bank

and used as its head quarters and administrative offices until early 2020. In 2020, Simone Healthcare Development proposed converting the former Sterling building into a medical office build ing. As part of the conversion of the existing offices to a medical estab lishment, Simone proposed con structing a new three-story accesso ry parking structure.

Norwalk’s ShopRite sharpens its image with renovations

BY JUSTIN MCGOWN

jmcgown@westfairinc.com

Thompson Cignari Jr. is not worried about the arrival of Wegmans’ first Connecticut store just a stone’s throw away from his family’s ShopRite location along the busy Route 1 corridor in Norwalk.

“We encourage competition because it only sharpens our pencil and makes us better,” Cignari said.

The Norwalk ShopRite loca tion is nearing completion on a series of major renovations that Cignari believed will elevate the shopping experience and pro vide new offerings that can both solidify the existing customer base and attract new patrons.

Cignari is both a member of the family, which operates Grade A Market, a chain of 11 supermarkets that are part of the Wakefern Cooperative, and the supervisor for the produce,

floral and ecommerce depart ments. He emphasized that while the Norwalk location is ready for Wegmans, the decision to under go a storewide refresh of brand ing and equipment was not made in reaction to moves made by competitors.

“We have been planning this renovation for probably close to three years,” Cignari said. “We started brainstorming for this store just before Covid. Obviously Covid put a little bit of a halt on some things, so it took a little longer than we were expecting. But we’re in full swing here — we’re probably 50% to 60% done with it currently, and the next 40% will be completed hopeful ly within the next three to four months.”

The renovations will yield a modest increase to the over all footprint of the store, some improved traffic flows and brand-new lighting and signage

throughout the store. Specific upgrades also include enclosed refrigeration for the dairy sec tion to improve energy efficiency and a new section at the front of the store designed to make it easy for customers using online ordering to pick up their goods.

New service counters will also be added to expand the loca tion’s offerings. Specialty chees es, dry aged beef and fresh-cut fruit will be added alongside the familiar seafood and deli offer ings.

“It will definitely be more of a calmer experience,” Cignari said of the new look the renovations will give the store. “Better light ing, more wood grain and earth tones. And we’re really expanding a lot of the things that we already do really great. Everything from our scratch-made bakery to more prepared items. ”

“We understand that there is a whole customer base out there

that may not have a thought in their head when they walk in the store but know that they want to cook,” he added. “So, we want to have near the front everything from a seasoned piece of meat with a dry rub or marinade that’s ready to throw on the grill, or a piece of seafood that they may not have walked in thinking about but they leave with salm on.”

Cignari also noted a handful of new team members will be added to operate the new spe cialty counters, and he is current ly seeking experts in cheeses and dry aged beef for the expansion.

Cignari is proud of the already-completed renovations, which he said will be more than enough to compete with Wegmans and the other stores in the area.

“It’s going to make us an even better operator than we already are.”

Business Journals editor authors new book on Wall Street’s most notorious characters

“

100 Years of Wall Street Crooks,” the new book by Phil Hall, the senior enter prise editor for the Westchester and Fairfield County Business Journals, is being released this week by the independent publish ing company Bicep Books.

The new book offers a lineup of audacious and often outra geous charlatans and miscreants, from Charles Ponzi in the 1920s to Elizabeth Holmes in the 2020s.

“100 Years of Wall Street Crooks” offers insight regarding the schemes and scams perpetrated by a wild parade of larger-than-life

characters, with familiar names, including Joseph P. Kennedy, Howard Hughes, Martha Stewart and Bernie Madoff to under-theradar but nonetheless remarkable personalities, including Anthony De Angelis, whose attempt to corner the world’s soybean oil market nearly collapsed the stock markets.

Advanced praise for “100 Years of Wall Street Crooks” has been strong. Chris DiPentima, president and CEO, Connecticut Business and Industry Association, noted how “each crime story reads effortlessly, and

ART & PRODUCTION

when taken as a whole we better understand how greed and the desire for power have wreaked havoc on innocent bystand ers.” And Scott Acheychek, CEO at Fairfield-based REX Shares, observed, ““Phil Hall has writ ten an excellent and enjoyable resource of the most infamous financiers over the last 100 years, with a comprehensive overview depicting their backgrounds, exploits, and any and all conse quences they faced.”

Canadian author sues Larchmont publisher for royalties

BY BILL HELTZEL Bheltzel@westfairinc.com BY BILL HELTZEL Bheltzel@westfairinc.com

The author of “The End of Food” claims that Barricade Press in Larchmont has fabricated the number of his books sold and underpaid his royalties.

Dual U.S. and Canadian citizen Thomas F. Pawlick, of Marlbank, Ontario, is demanding a full accounting of the sales of his book, in a complaint filed Sept. 30 in Westchester Supreme Court.

Pawlick says he has repeat edly demanded payments “but Barricade still has not paid him the full amount of royalties that he is owed.”

Lyle Stuart,who had a reputation for publishing controversial titles such as “The Anarchist Cookbook,” founded Barricade Books in 1989.

Stuart died in 2006 and his wife Carole became publisher. In 2018, she sold Barricade and a backlist of about 100 titles, to Jonathan

Bernstein, who renamed it as Barricade Press.

Barricade handles mostly nonfiction genres, including true crime, Mafia titles, memoirs and guides such as “Selling Your Book: A Step by Step Guide for Authors to Promote and sell Your Book.”

Pawlick struck a deal with Barricade in 2005 to print, publish and sell his book in the United States and Canada. He was to be paid 10% to 12% royalties for the hard cover edition and 6% to 7.5%  for paper backs. Barricade agreed to submit sales reports and royalty checks every six months.

In 2006, weeks before Stuart died, “The End of Food: How the Food Industry is Destroying Our Food Supply and What You Can About It” was published.

But from 2006 to 2021, accord ing to the complaint, no sales reports were submitted for nine of the 32 semi-annual periods.

Reports that were submitted

had discrepancies that are so glar ing and inconsistent that the only “rational explanation,” the com plaint states, “is that they are fab ricated.”

Some reports, for instance, allegedly show negative sales and some show declining total lifetime sales.

A company that handled Canadian sales reported 24,000 copies had been sold as of January 2020, according to the complaint, while Barricade reported 2,439 in cumulative sales.

It is not possible that the book sold 10 times better in Canada than in the United States, the complaint states, considering the difference in market size between the two nations.

Pawlick says that royalty pay ments ceased for two years after Barricade was sold in 2018, and that Bernstein has not replied to emails, phone calls and demand letters.

He accuses Barricade of breach of contract and is demanding an accounting and royalties for all cop ies sold of “The End of Food.”

New York attorneys Tom Paskowitz and Melissa Verne repre sent Pawlick.

Stamford’s Harman International aims for a future of increased car safety

BY JUSTIN MCGOWN jmcgown@westfairinc.com

Cars are growing smart er with every passing year, but much of their intelligence to this point has been focused on becoming more aware of the world around the car. This has been achieved with cameras watching for blind spots, radar sensors measuring distance and assisting parking, and the cre ation of systems capable of avert ing fatal crashes or driving the car with only minimal input from the occupants.

Harman International, a Stamford-based subsidiary of Samsung Electronics, recently purchased Caaresys, an Israeli company that develops vehicle passenger monitoring systems powered by low-emission radar.

According to the companies, this technology enhances safety for passengers, provide health and wellness functionality and even prevent hot car deaths.

“With the acquisition of Caaresys, we gain market-leading in-cabin radar sensing technol ogy and radar-enabled features that can quickly integrate into our products,” said Christian Sobottka, president of Harman’s automotive division, in a press statement announcing the acqui sition. “And by partnering with Harman, automakers can deliv er the key safety and well-being features that consumers demand today as opposed to years from now.”

“It’s with excitement and pride that we join the Haman team, especially at this time when they are doing so much to transform what the in-cabin experience can be for consum ers,” said Ilya Sloushch, co-found er and CEO of Caaresys, in the same statement.

Sloushch will lead the newly established in-cabin radar team at Harman, adding that the Stamford-based company’s “suc cessful partnerships with leading automakers will offer unprece

dented scale and reach for our technologies and extend the ben efits enabled by in-cabin radar to more drivers and passengers than ever before.”

Harman’s Germany-based Eric Heisinger is the product manager for the Advanced DriverAssistance Systems business unit and the development lead for Harman’s driver monitoring and cabin sensing teams. He explained that Caaresys devel oped technology, which uses low energy radar pulses to gather data from inside the car without rely ing on cameras, which he viewed as a valuable set of tools to give car manufacturers.

The set of potential applica tions for the technology is huge, Heisinger added, noting that he expects many automakers will want it deployed so that it scans the car a set period of time after it has been parked and alert the driver via text if it senses a small living being, such as a dog or child inside. The ability for the tech nology to measure heartrate can

provide some novel applications as well.

“That enables automakers, our customers to know that every thing is okay with the people in the car,” Heisinger explained. “If there were an emergency you could use that information to know how to react. But also, if you see the industry trend towards more self-driving cars and you need to do a handover you really want to make sure that every thing is okay with your driver.”

Checking the health of the driver during a “hand-over” could be useful — for instance, in videos showing self-driving Teslas run ning over child-size mannequins on test tracks. Some critics point ed out that the Tesla Autopilot program attempted to disengage on the test track and asked the driver to takeover, which could save lives in some situations.

But if a driver is uncon scious or having a heart attack, they may not be able to take the wheel — thus, Heisinger noted, the Cararesys technology can also

make situations involving heart attacks somewhat less likely by integrating the car into health and wellness routines.

“If you want to, you could have the car continuously mon itor the driver’s heart rate,” Heisinger said. “You could for example offer a de-stressing feature. Maybe if a passenger is stressed you can offer preset breathing exercises.”

Heisinger also predicted that the technology could lead to a future without hot car deaths, which kill on average 38 children under the age of 15 every year in the U.S., according to the National Safety Council. He speculated that the technology could be used to share information with first responders in case of an accident, though that may still be some time away.

“For the first functionality, the baby care or life presence detec tion technology we expect to be ready to share with automakers around the second half of 2024 to 2025,” Heisinger said.

Yonkers mosque claims that former treasurer embezzled funds

BY BILL HELTZEL Bheltzel@westfairinc.com

Yonkers Islamic Center Inc. (YIC) has sued a former treasurer to block him from using bankrupt cy to evade paying $364,000 he allegedly stole from the mosque.

Byron B. Coleman of Newburgh filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection on Sept. 12, declaring $315,375 in assets and $855,827 in liabilities.

YIC filed an adversary proceeding on Oct. 4 in U.S. Bankruptcy Court, White Plains, asking the court to declare that Coleman may not discharge his debt to the mosque because it was incurred as a result of embezzlement and fraud while acting in a fiduciary capacity.

YIC also accused Coleman of concealing drug and bur

glary convictions before he was appointed as treasurer.

If the mosque’s board of directors had known that Coleman was a convicted felon, the complaint states, “it never would have appointed him as either a director or treasurer of YIC.”

Coleman’s bankruptcy attorney, Michael O’Leary of Middletown, did not reply to an email asking for his client’s response to the allegations.

However, Coleman respond ed to similar allegations in 2018 when YIC sued him in Westchester Supreme Court to recover the funds. He claimed then that he withdrew the money from the mosque’s Chase bank account to safeguard it from the imam.

The dispute concerns a vacant lot on Warburton Avenue

that YIC inherited in 1998 from a former member. It sold the lot in 2014 and deposited the $364,000 in a bank account.

In 2017, Chase notified Amam Adamu Morla Sulleimana, president of the mosque, that $360,000 had been withdrawn.

Adamu tried to stop the transfer but it was too late.

A review of bank records showed that Coleman had pre viously withdrawn another

$4,800.

Coleman allegedly admit ted to several members of the mosque that he was holding the money to keep it safe, according to the 2018 complaint, and asked YIC officers to join him in mak ing investments in real estate.

A settlement was negotiat ed in 2019, according to a July 22 court ruling by Westchester Supreme Court Justice Charles D. Wood. But YIC contended that

it got back only $95,802 and was still owed $192,230 of the funds in an escrow account.

Judge Wood ordered the par ties to provide an accounting of the escrow funds at a Sept. 13 hearing. When Coleman filed the bankruptcy action on Sept. 12, the lawsuit was blocked from proceeding.

YIC is seeking $364,000 in the adversary proceeding. Coleman’s bankruptcy petition lists the debt as $100,000 and disputed.

His primary assets are his Newburgh house, valued at $285,000, and a 2016 MercedesBenz C300 valued at $15,830.

He values two row houses in Baltimore and Philadelphia owed by codebtor FiveSixty LLC at $449,000 but does not include them as assets.

His primary liabilities are business debts totalling nearly $411,000; his home mortgage, $209,890; and legal judgments totaling nearly $200,000.

He makes $8,190 a month as a social worker but his expenses exceed his income by $1,751 a month.

in eastern Yonkers at the intersection of Scarsdale and Yonkers avenues at the bor der with the village of Tuckahoe. Current zoning allows industrial use as well as com mercial, retail, restaurants and similar uses but does not allow residences. The develop er is seeking a zoning change to allow the apartments.

The mix of apartment units would be 59 studios at an average size of 500 square feet; 74 one-bedroom units at an average size of 650 square feet; and 17 two-bedroom units at an average size of 900 square feet. The developer says that smaller average unit sizes are designed for singles and young professionals between the ages of 25 to 45.

“For this group, there is a shortage of economic and attractive housing in urban locations, with close proximity to public transportation,” according to the developer.

The proposal calls for 154 parking spac es to be provided.

A traffic study found that the adjacent road network will have sufficient capacity to handle traffic generated by the project and will not significantly affect traffic oper ations during peak hours.

The architectural firm Perkins Eastman prepared a conceptual architectural pack age for the proposal. The developer said

that the style of the proposed development is inspired by the original architecture of buildings dating from the early 1900s when the Hodgman Rubber Company operated in the area. Perkins Eastman said the new construction would use fiber cement siding with aluminum windows and metal coping. The original three floors of the main build ing would receive new operable aluminum windows, existing brick would be cleaned and the existing plaster facade would be painted.

“It is envisioned that this design, while slightly modernized, would remain as-is to keep with the tradition of classic loft style buildings in this area to fit seamlessly into the neighborhood context,” the developer said. “The existing zoning for the surround ing buildings does allow up to five-stories, which the design of the proposed project complies with to fit with the context of the contiguous surrounding buildings and land.”

The developer points out that there are no real neighbors close to the site “as it is bounded by the Bronx River as well as some buffer area between the site and the Bronx River Parkway. This should mini mize any impacts on the neighbors in rela tion to the proposed residential use.”

The developer describes this portion of Yonkers and Tuckahoe as having an indus trial heritage but dramatically changing

over the last few decades.

“The neighborhood in the area is pre dominantly suburban with a mix of gar den apartments, single-tfamily houses, single-story retail with apartments above,” the developer says. “The Tuckahoe Train Station district area is consistent with other Hudson River Valley station areas such as Bronxville, Crestwood and Hawthorne, which are able to support the ground retail

with residential above. The typical retail store is a small footprint with a tenant mix that is predominantly ‘mom and pop’ restaurants and shops and service-based businesses. Most of these restaurants and stores have two to three stories of residen tial above.”

The Yonkers City Council issued a notice of intent to declare itself lead agency for the environmental review of the project.

The four-letter word we just can’t quit

BY GEORGETTE GOUVEIA

Among the fault lines that the earth quake of Covid-19 has exposed is the chasm between employers, often overworked and understaffed, who think pandemic relief and other government benefits coddle workers; and employees, often overworked and underpaid, who think the coronavirus has only revealed unfair labor practices.

The results of this fault line include the controversial phenomenon known as “quiet quitting.” To management, it means doing less than your job; to labor, it means doing just your job. (Even some employers and entrepreneurs are getting in on quiet quit ting, with a restaurateur and a dog sitter tell ing us that they’ve told cheap, finicky clients to take their business elsewhere.)

“Quiet quitting is when workers — often of the Gen Z generation — refuse to work beyond the hours for which they are paid and refuse to do jobs that were not in their original job description,” Mary DeTurris Poust wrote in the Sept. 9 issue of Catholic New York.

A writer and retreat leader who became part of the so-called “Great Resignation” at the end of 2021, Poust added that these work ers “have their priorities straight” though they are seen as shirking responsibility (and, critics might say, throwing that responsibili ty on older employees with a different work ethic).

But Poust contended: “That is the sick ness of the American workplace landscape. If you don’t work beyond what you are paid to do, you are seen as a quitter.”

On the opposite end of the spectrum from Poust — who believes in work-free vacations and Sabbaths that are truly days of rest — is Laura Vanderkam, the time-man agement expert and “Before Breakfast” pod cast host, who thinks the answer to work place burnout is not less engagement but more in the form of days filled with work, obligations and, yes, active fun activities like joining a choir and playing for a softball team. (Let’s just say that her Sept. 18 article on rejecting quiet quitting in The New York Times met with some not-so-quiet fury from posters.)

Complicating the picture: The once-

hot job market is showing signs of cool ing off, with openings falling by 1.1 million to 10.1 million in August, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. That drop, CNBC reported last week, evoked the early days of the pandemic, when jobs fell by about 1.2 million in April 2020.

How then to achieve the Holy Grail of work-life balance that seems to be at the heart of quiet quitting? For some perspec tive, Westfair turned to Joel Steinhaus, cofounder and CEO of Daybase, a compa ny that describes itself as “offering neigh borhood coworking locations with flexible membership options,” like those in Harrison and Hoboken, New Jersey.

Steinhaus’ remote staff works 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Fridays. Offline time is strictly respected and meetings are virtu al unless in-person is absolutely necessary. (Nonetheless, the coworking spaces are fully staffed for those who need office supplies or help with the printer.)

“The top employers are focused on attracting and retaining the top talent,” he said. “What does the top talent want? Flexibility.”

Needless to say, he is passionate about Daybase providing that flexibility. But the former head of strategic initiatives at WeWork and chief of staff to WeWork’s cofounder and CEO as well as a former managing direc tor and chief of staff to the chairman of Citigroup also offers insights into the differ

ence between appearing to work and actu ally doing work and what the new workforce is really like:

How do you define quiet quitting, and is it a misnomer?

“The term reflects a lot of the discontent we’re seeing around traditional expectations of work, the worker and the workplace, and it’s precisely why we’re seeing so much inno vation in the modern workplace….

“Historically, so much about work has been defined by a productivity culture, which is more focused on the ‘performance’ of work rather than actually ‘doing’ work. Think of creating to-do lists just so you can check items off; holding weekly meetings with large groups of people even though concrete action items from these meetings rarely materialize; requiring the majority of the workforce to be in the office five days a week, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., even though work for the day can (and should) be done in much less time than that; asking workers to com mute 60 to 90 minutes a day, time they never get back, clogging our transit systems.

“There’s certainly a generational issue at play here. Millennials saw the rise of the gig economy and hustle culture. Since then, these workers are more comfortable discard ing habits of the traditional workplace that have been in place just because ‘that’s how it’s always been done’ in favor of systems that are more efficient, more flexible and actually more productive.

“So ‘quiet quitting’ is really just a signal: Don’t waste your time making it look like you’re doing work. Good employers worth working for won’t value that. Instead, actu ally do the good work and then go be an engaged member of your family, be there for your kids and go be a good neighbor and member of your community.”

Is the employer-employee disconnect that has spawned quiet quitting and coworking spaces like Daybase new or has it been a byproduct of our capitalist system and specifically the decline of the labor unions since the 1950s?

“Listen, there’s always been tension between employers and the workforce in all industries. Look at the history of labor fights and union wars. What is new is that the pandemic gave us the opportunity to rethink the how, where and why we work. Daybase is absolutely doubling down on the belief that we as a society should — and will — take full advantage of this moment. We’re taking that to the bank.”

Do you foresee a future in which people will return to traditional offices and commuting full-time?

“The five-day workweek of 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. in the office, with your whole team losing hours of their day in rush-hour traffic, is gone. I’m very much against rush-hour traffic. Of course, every industry is dif

BBB gives ‘F’ to Elmsford Funko Pop retailer

BY BILL HELTZEL Bheltzel@westfairinc.com

The Better Business Bureau of Metropolitan New York has given an F rating to an Elmsford online collectibles business that specializes in Funko Pop figurines.

The nonprofit appraiser of businesses and charities cited consumer frustration with Big Apple Collectibles in 297 complaints collected by the BBB in the past three years.

“Consumers claim that after purchas ing and paying for merchandise from Big Apple Collectibles the company continually delayed the expected delivery date,” the BBB states in an Oct. 4 press release. “In some instances, consumers who became frustrat ed and requested refunds from the company were instead given store credit.”

Many reviewers claimed that the collect ibles they bought were not delivered for a year or more, if then, and when they asked for refunds they were told that a 25% to 30% restocking fee would be charged.

Big Apple was founded in 2017 by Marc Ghiron, according to a state corporation record.

“We pride ourselves on the ability to bring you the collectibles you want at low prices,” Big Apple states on its website, “while offering you the largest, single curated offer

ing of Funko products all in one place.” Funko Pops vinly toys feature over sized heads and wide, blank eyes on small bodies. Funko Inc. claims it can “popify”

anything, according to news accounts. The figurines include pop culture characters and superheroes, historical figures and modern celebrities, cartoon characters and movie icons.

Big Apple also sells other types of collect ibles, trading cards and apparel.

Customer reviews on the BBB website gave the internet retailer an average of 1.13 stars out of a possible 5.

“I would not even give them one star,” Herman J. said in a Sept. 16 review.

He claims that 11 months after he placed a pre-order for Funko Pops and the toys were available in stores, he was told that a refund was not possible until after one year. When he wrote back a month later, Big Apple allegedly said it had a new policy: a 25% restocking fee on refunds.

“So you are stealing 25% of my money to restock a product that you do not have in stock and never shipped to me,” he asks in his review.

Big Apple did not respond to an email asking for its side of the story. Its online website does not list a phone number, and a number found on an online telephone direc tory leads to a message that the mail box is full and is not accepting messages.

North American Motor Car inaugurates Danbury location

BY EDWARD ARRIAZA earriaza@westfairinc.com

On Sept. 23, North American Motor Car opened a 50,000-square-foot facility at 23 Miry Brook Road in Danbury that provides services for car enthu siasts, including storage for luxury vehicles and hosting of lifestyle events, as well as restoration, high-end maintenance, and the creation of full custom builds courtesy of the American Metal Custom Shop headed by award-winning builder and fabricator Josh Allison.

In attendance for the ribbon-cutting cer emony were Danbury Mayor Dean Esposito and State Representative Ken Gucker, who respectively presented company CEO Chris Bishop with a commemorative plaque mark ing the grand opening and an official cita tion from the state of Connecticut General Assembly.

“This is an outstanding day for us here in Danbury, another great project brought to the city,” said Esposito. “North American Motor Car is here to stay, obviously with this beau tiful addition of a building they’ve put up and the operation that they run here.”

Gucker also congratulated Bishop, declar ing, “The state-of-the-art facility offers a full spectrum of world-class services for all types of buyers, the showroom features a curated collection of vehicles. The company’s location can also be utilized for many other types of social events that will excite a variety of the community and the auto enthusiasts.”

“Ever since I was a young man playing with Matchbox cars, I’ve always loved cars and motorcycles and building the facility was a dream come true,” said Bishop, who was excited to be “bringing something to Danbury where people can come. It will be a destina tion for people that love cars and motorcycles, and you can custom build and just have a lot of fun.”

The ribbon cutting was then followed by a tour of the facility, which featured in its showroom rock star Eddie Van Halen’s 2016 Porsche 911 GT3 RS and custom builds ,including “The Disciple,” Allison’s hand-built motorcycle, a 1955 Chevy and a 1934 Ford

Coupe. The tour proceeded from the show room to the American Metal Custom Shop where Allison noted, “We are an all-inclusive, whatever-you-can-dream-up, custom full-ser vice shop. We do all kinds of services on a range of cars usually typically from the ‘80s and earlier.”

Beyond the car restoration and stor age services, the tour demonstrated North American Motor Car’s flair for style and viabil ity as a destination for car enthusiasts to relax and socialize with like-minded enthusiasts.

Bishop opened a concealed door with in an old-fashioned, unassuming mechanic’s office to reveal the Bootlegger Speakeasy, a 1920s-style secret room that features some of memorabilia from Bishop’s personal collec

tion includes a surfboard signed by The Beach Boys and vintage hood ornaments.

For a more definitive lounge area, the tour moved toward the less secretive upper floor of the facility, which included additional music memorabilia and Americana such as a guitar signed by The Rolling Stones and a jumpsuit worn by Evel Knievel.

Located within the upper floor of the facility is the Glamour & Grit Lounge, which like the Bootlegger Speakeasy room is aes thetically reminiscent of 1920s design motif.

At the heart of the lounge is a custom bar that serves American Metal Whiskey created by Bishop, Allison, Chief Brand Officer Brian Stephenson and craft spirits expert Randy Carlson.

Brasserie Le Steak delivers the ooh-la-la

I’m a sucker for crisscross griddle lines on a juicy, underdone steak, preferably one served with French fries so golden you’d swear they’d spent a month on the Riviera. And the steaks and fries at five-month old Manhattan transplant, Brasserie Le Steak in Larchmont, do just that. If you’re looking for filet mignon, New York cut ribeye, New York cut sirloin or dry-aged porterhouse — or sim ply a classic steak frites with mustard sauce — you’ve come to the right place.

For 25 years, Le Steak was a magnet for Francophiles and other carnivores on the Upper East Side before shuttering at the start of 2021 and relocating to Westchester County. The Sound Shore’s large French expat com munity must be thanking their lucky étoiles, although a great “new” restaurant benefits us all.

Our visit certainly gets off to a good start, as owner Nick Jakupi welcomes us, inviting us to sit at a large “four-top” table, even though we are only two. “We want you to be comfort able,” he says considerately. And we are very comfortable indeed, in this large, inviting room — around 80 covers over two levels, with just three steps between — with its clean lines, tables dressed with white tablecloths and classic bentwood chairs. Those large mir rors and potted palms; those ever-so-French, half-length net curtains that remind you of that charming little bistro in Montmartre you were so excited to discover on a romantic trip to Paris; that pair of schmaltzy watercol ors — you know, the kind you buy as newly weds walking along the Left Bank, as thrilled with the purchase as if you’d just bagged the Mona Lisa, and that spend the next 30 years languishing in your garage as you can’t quite bear to throw them out? They all contribute to the atmosphere.

Acoustics that could be hell, what with the wood floors and the low ceilings, are in fact sympa, as the French say, helped by music — Françoise Hardy, Joe Dassin, some snippets of Celine Dion —which is kept at

TABLE TALK JEREMY WAYNE

Hotel consultant, travel writer and longtime restaurant editor for Condé Nast, Jeremy Wayne loves casual, unpretentious restaurants serving food which is genuinely seasonal, local and sustainable, while simultaneously lamenting the disappear ance of linen tablecloths and the demise of the three-martini lunch. “These are the two sides of my split restaurant person ality,” he confides, while also fessing up to his personal travel mantra. “The day to book your next vacation,” says Jeremy, is the day you come home from one.”

considerately low volume.

What do I want from a brasserie? A touch of oom-pah-pah and ooh-la-la. Big brassiere food in generous portions. Great fish and shellfish and slabs of red meat. Garlic, for sure. Truth be told, I wouldn’t mind the whiff of a Gitanes cigarette either, but let’s not get into that. At any rate, apart from the Gitanes, at Le Steak I get it all, the garlic courtesy of the escargots by the way, reassuringly plump gastropods served in their shells with garlic butter and parsley.

Other classic brasserie starters include an onion soup that seems to contain an entire onion field in the heavy earthenware bowl, along with bread and a canopy of stringy Gruyère, which is impossible to eat elegant ly. (Do not attempt it on a first date.) There are shrimp and crab appetizers, too, and a wonderful wild organic mushroom strudel, served warm, with crumbled goat cheese and a rich Port reduction. Heady stuff.

As for the entrées, although you may come here for steak — and the 10-ounce clas sic steak frites and the 16-ounce New York-cut ribeye were both long on flavor and cooked exactly as requested — you may end up

ordering some thing else alto gether. There are a handful of chicken dishes, as well as sever al fish and sea food options, including moules marin ières (mussels in white wine, a classic French dish); scallops with jumbo shrimp; and a del icate almond-crusted fillet of sole. There is a also straightforward, top-quality hamburger, or a “machete” burger, with all the trimmings.

Desserts are homemade and portions are generous. Le Steak’s flourless chocolate cake is a best seller, with the lemon tart not far behind. We especially enjoy an old-fash ioned chocolate mousse, rich and thick with a touch of texture from the flecks of unab sorbed chocolate and a generous swirl of whipped cream on top.

As for drinks, we start with that great cocktail, a French 75 (rude not to). The wine list, meanwhile, sensibly confines itself to French reds and French and Californian

whites, with a few other domestic vin tages and a couple of Italian interlopers. You won’t find too many treasures, but a Lalande de Pomerol

Château Siaurac 2014, at a reasonable $59, seems typical of the modest markups you can expect here. At our table, we drink a house Côte du Rhône, big in the mouth if a little thin on the finish, but typical of any inex pensive wine you might drink by the carafe in any Montparnasse brasserie.

Service, overseen by the quiet owner, is light and unobtrusive, adding to the guest’s enjoyment. And there is no need of that well-meaning but vacuous question, beloved of restaurant staff everywhere, religiously asked at regular 10-minute intervals, “How is everything?” Perhaps that’s because at Le Steak, they know everything is just fine.

Ensuring healthy travels

BY GIOVANNI ROSELLI

As the world continues to adjust to a post-Covid society, the ability to be out and about has come back into consideration. Judging by the lines at airports, cars on the road and sold-out enter tainment events, we all seem to be getting back to doing what we want. Below are a few simple suggestions to help your body combat the rigors of traveling:

Drink plenty of water. As with most health and wellness tips, this is on just about every list no matter what the focus is. However, water is often overlooked and neglected during our everyday lives as well as when we travel. Dehydration exaggerates jet lag. When traveling on an airplane, your body is exposed to low moisture levels since aircraft cabin humidity levels are unnaturally low.

Ensure you are consuming ample water throughout the day. Also, bring a refillable water bottle as most airports have clean, filtered water fountains, as opposed to pay ing high prices for plastic water bottles at a convenience shop. Water is best absorbed with some type of motion, so if you drink on a flight, that’s the best time to stand up and stretch out for a bit. With this, you are giving the water an opportunity to be used and distributed. Otherwise, if we drink and stay seated, the water will just sit in our stom achs — and then you will forced to stand up because you’ll have to go to the restroom.

Adjust your sleep schedule accord ingly. This is even more important when changing time zones. Try adjusting to your new sleep schedule before you leave for your

trip. This will also help prevent some jet lag, which is inevitable, although it can be minimized. This doesn’t have to be a full adjustment before you leave for your trip. But anything you can do to get acclimated to going to sleep earlier or later will be ben efitial. (Another trick is to book a flight that will have you traveling overnight from your home and arriving at your destination in the morning.)

Drink ginger-root tea. Ginger has mul tiple properties that I have discussed in past nutritional articles. Once again, ginger pops up a lot when discussing health and well ness optimization, so it should come as little surprise here for its benefits when traveling. Additionally, it is a safe and natural remedy for motion sickness, which includes plane turbulence, boat rides and car trips. Lastly, and most likely what you’ve heard about ginger in the past, it has anti-inflammatory properties that can help fight disease and infection, which we are all more susceptible to when traveling.

Take care of your feet. A quarter of our bones are in our feet. Our feet (as well as our hands) are the most proprioceptively rich parts of our bodies, which essentially means we can create neurological responses throughout our whole bodies just by using our feet and exposing our feet to different stimuli. How so? Take a barefoot walk on the grass or on the beach, or at least just get your feet out of footwear and give them a chance to breathe. Our shoes suffocate our feet for most of the day. Add travel (particu larly flights) on top of that, and it comes as no surprise that we have circulation issues while

in transit. Also, you can try wearing some type of compression socks to help boost circulation.

Wishing everyone a wonderful month

ahead and all those starting to venture out again safe and happy travels.

Greater Danbury Chamber of Commerce hosts annual meeting

BY JUSTIN MCGOWN jmcgown@westfairinc.com

The Greater Danbury Chamber of Commerce held its annual meet ing at the city’s Amber Room Colonnade on Oct. 6, with dozens of local business owners and members of critical local industries in attendance.

Danbury Mayor Dean Esposito wel comed the Chamber members warmly, tell ing them he appreciated all of their work and the economic impact which he said has made Danbury the “shining star of Connecticut.”

“As I was getting out of my car this morning, I grabbed the roll of ribbon and scissor because I thought this was a ribbon cutting,” he quipped. “We’ve been doing quite a few of those.”

Cynthia Merkle, the chairwoman of the Greater Danbury Chamber of Commerce and also the CEO of Union Savings Bank, presided over the annual meeting’s official proceedings. She put forward a number of new board members starting their initial terms and others being reappointed for three-year terms. They were all accepted without opposition.

Josh Riley of M&T Bank and George Mulvaney of Mulvaney Mechanical both retired after long service to the board, and Merkle announced that the Chamber will make donations in their honor to charities of their choosing as a show of thanks.

“As you can imagine it was a pretty excit

ing year for us as we brought back many of our in-person events,” Merkle noted while recounting what had transpired since the previous meeting. “For two years most of our events were virtual. It’s pretty amazing how we were able to put that in play very quickly and it was really based upon the leadership of the chamber.”

Merkle also praised the return of the annual Economic Breakfast and Forecast, the Woman’s Business Council, and efforts to better include businesses in the area surrounding Danbury as the Chamber of Commerce put an emphasis on the “Greater Danbury” part of its name.

The event’s keynote speaker was MannKind Corp. CEO Michael Castagna, who stated he was grateful for the opportu nity to speak to the Chamber.

“It’s an honor and not something I could have imagined happening when I was a kid growing up in a small community that’s very similar to Danbury,” he said. “It reminds me of where I grew up, a smalltown with hard-working people and lots of independent businesses run by everyday people.”

Castagna said that he was the first in his family to graduate from high school. He became a pharmacist and followed his passion for medicine into the corporate world, where he ultimately found himself leading MannKind at a precarious point in its history. Through the sales of properties, the cashing in a promissory note left by the founder and canny maneuvering, Castagna

said he and his leadership team managed to set the company on a better track.

MannKind has built its business on researching and developing treatments such as diabetes and pulmonary arterial hypertension. Diabetes, Castagna noted, is a disease with a personal dimension for him.

“I never thought I’d find myself running a diabetes company, but I grew up with a single mom and no father,” he recalled. “When I found out who he was, he had already passed away from complications of diabetes.”

Castagna added that Affreza, an inhal able form of insulin that is the current flagship product of MannKind, has the potential to change the face of diabetes

treatment. The drug, which kicks in faster than injected insulin, is being produced alongside its proprietary inhaler units at the company’s Danbury facilities. Attendees at the Chamber meeting were presented with sample Affreza inhaler units as examples what is being created by local manufac turing.

At the end of Castagna’s address, Chamber President and CEO P.J. Prunty took the podium to close the meeting, not ing that he had worked as a roofer one summer during college for a company that held the contract for MannKind’s current Danbury facilities.

“So, I apologize if there are any leaks, that’s probably my fault,” he joked.

Textures, patterns and jewel colors – including different shades of the same color – are in play for fall. “Even red can be considered a neutral as in an all-red room,” Westfair interior design columnist Cami Weinstein writes.

Falling in love with fall design

BY CAMI WEINSTEIN

When the days begin to short en and the first cool breez es of autumn rustle the leaves, we begin to spend more time at home. Summer had me dashing out of the house after work to spend time outdoors and weekends in Montauk. But now that autumn has begun, I’m taking stock of my home and organizing the house for winter. Not only has the décor shifted to a cozy look, but there are mechanical things that need to be attended to before winter really sets in.

Among the things you should take care of prior to winter are your oil burner, chim ney, windows and roof. Your gutters should be cleaned out to prevent them from get ting clogged and causing leaks. Gardens should be cut back and raked and certain plants and bushes covered in burlap to prevent winter burn and deer from heavily damaging them. Meanwhile, new shrubs

and flowering bulbs can be planted for a wonderful spring showing. Now’s the time to deep clean lawn furniture and cover it, storing what you can inside while sending out whatever needs to be repaired and repainted.

At this time of year, I also try to touch up the trim on the inside of my house that has gotten chipped and refresh it for win ter. And while interior design work for the holidays should have been started months ago, a smaller refresh can still be done now. Painting a room in a new color or adding some wallpaper, for instance, can bring updated style into your home.

Trending colors for fall are darker and offset an elegant mix of antiques and mod ern pieces to create warmer interiors. Some of my favorite colors and combinations include blues and spices, like cinnamon and saffron. I’m also interested in greens, peaches and corals. Jewel tones are always a favorite of mine. Some of these colors

when mixed in different shades can cre ate a neutral room. Yes, even red can be considered a neutral as in an all-red room. Everyone thinks of neutrals in shades of gray, white, black, beige and brown, but this is not necessarily true.

Interior design is also trending back to textured looks with colors, patterns and artwork layered in rooms — which is espe cially fun to try as we move into the winter months. There is nothing as comforting as a dark, layered room, a fire in the fireplace and a glass of wine or spirits in its correct crystal glass by your side as you read or watch a movie. Add a cozy, new throw made in sustainable alpaca or cashmere for that Scandinavian hygge effect.

In the fall, I prepare for the holiday entertaining ahead. I go over my china and glasses to see if some pieces need to be replaced. I look for new linens for the table and make sure I am well-stocked with candles, both pillars and tapers. Every year I host most of the holidays so I start thinking about the menus for each one early. Our holiday foods are cultural in nature, but I often like to add some new, different sides or desserts to keep my holi

day menus fresh.

Whether you are entertaining or snug gling for an intimate weekend this fall, add some luxe to your life with all the elegant accessories that are available — including them in your home. Maybe take a course on cooking or wine pairings and learn which glasses go with which wine or spirit. Not only will you have a great time, but you can use your new skills when entertaining. Gather a group of friends who all live close to one another and host a movable feast. Not only does this lessen the burden of entertaining, because you are only respon sible for one portion of the meal, but every one gets to visit one another’s home and who doesn’t love to see how their friends or neighbors decorate. It will also create some lively conversations.

Enjoy the fall season out and about as well — apple and pumpkin picking, drink ing cider hot or cold and eating cider donuts — as you dream about cozying up indoors and designing your home for the new year.

The project to transform Route 17 in Orange and Sullivan counties into Interstate 86 shifted into a higher gear with the Oct. 5 announcement that work has begun on the required Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS). The environmental study is required under the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA) in order to identify various ways in which the project might affect the environ ment and identify mitigation measures.

“The Route 17 Draft Environmental Impact Statement kicks off this transforma tive project, which will enhance tourism, economic competitiveness and quality of life for residents and visitors alike,” Gov. Kathy Hochul said. “The Mid-Hudson region is a jewel of New York state and with this project we are helping this region not only meet, but exceed its future potential.”

Orange County Executive Steven Neuh aus said, “Improving Route 17 is important to the economy of our region, and I look for ward to seeing continued state investment in our region’s transportation network. The expansion of state Route 17 into Interstate 86 will allow us to continue to market this economically vital corridor for growth and sustainable development.”

The state’s Department of Transportation (DOT) recently completed a Planning and Environmental Linkage Study (PEL) that evaluated an approximate ly 47-mile segment of Route 17 running from Rapp Road in the town of Thompson in Sullivan County to the highway’s intersec tion with the New York State Thruway near Woodbury Common in Orange County. It found that the addition of one lane in each direction would cost approximately $23 million to $29 million per mile. The cost to add the lanes to the Sullivan County por tion would be from $425 million to $620 million. The cost to add the lanes to the Orange County portion of the route would be from $615 million to $750 million. Work to intersections and overpasses also would be required.

The majority of the Route 17 PEL study corridor consists of two travel lanes while short sections include a third travel lane and/or auxiliary lane with similar charac teristics. Median width varies from 20 feet to 50 feet. The typical section consists of 12-foot travel lanes with 4-foot left shoulders and 10-foot right shoulders

The study looked at 30 existing highway interchanges, 13 in Sullivan County and 17 in Orange County. It found that many interchange designs date from the origi

Concrete action toward creating I-86

standards.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said he wants to make sure the Environmental Impact Statement address es all community concerns about the proj ect.

“I was pleased to deliver record feder al dollars for the state via the Bipartisan Infrastructure and Jobs Act that will sup port converting the overcrowded Route 17 in Orange and Sullivan counties to Interstate 86, and am pleased that New York State is commencing the environmen tal review process with public participa tion,” Schumer said.

nal Route 17 construction and have simply been rehabilitated or resurfaced through out the years as needed. The study found that upgrades to some interchanges would be appropriate while a few others could be closed.

The DEIS will build on the PEL study and look at issues such as air quality, wet land impacts and alternatives to adding third lanes for the entire length of the road. Reviews of possible interchange improvements, bridge replacements and enhanced park-and-ride facilities, includ ing expanded capacity and electric vehicle

charging stations would be included. The DOT says it anticipates publishing a final Environmental Impact Statement for the project in 2025.

The state budget includes $1 billion for the Route 17 conversion into I-86.

Over the past several years, proj ects have been completed by the DOT to upgrade sections of Route 17, including reconstruction of the interchange at Exit 131, where Route 17 meets I-87 and Route 32 (Woodbury Common Premium Outlets) and reconstruction of Exit 122 Stage I and Exit 125 (LEGOLAND) to meet interstate

Rep. Pat Ryan, who formerly served as Ulster county executive, said, “Converting State Route 17 into Interstate 86 by mod ernizing bridges, improving local roads and adding a third lane so that it meets interstate standards is an absolute priority for the Mid-Hudson Valley and Catskills. I welcome this new step forward and look forward to working with partners across New York state, especially the men and women of organized labor, to ensure this process keeps moving forward in order to decrease traffic congestion and grow our economy upstate.”

so something that advantages Dutchess, Orange, Rockland, Putnam benefits Westchester as well,” Latimer said. “There’s an obvious immediate benefit in that IBM, which is headquartered here in Westchester County will expand in an area not too far away and create good jobs. People will live anywhere in the region. That helps us with housing values in Westchester and the adja cent counties and, of course, Poughkeepsie, East Fishkill, Kingston, were all major IBM operations centers in years past. It’s defi nitely good news for us.”

Latimer pointed out that Regeneron’s expansion in Tarrytown and Morgan Stanley’s expansion in what was the old Texaco headquarters in Harrison are good signs for the region as well as Westchester. He also underscored that the county’s own efforts to help build new businesses through its incubator programs and the planned North 80 bioscience and technology center have spillover benefits for the region.

“Industries have to be somewhat clus tered around one another. We talk about Silicon Valley in California, Route 128 in the Boston area. We are obviously different coun ties, we have different immediate economics, but this is good news for the region. I salute it and I think this is another sign of the viability of this area of the state,” Latimer said.

President Biden had arrived in the Hudson Valley aboard Air Force One, which landed at New York Stewart International Airport shortly before noon on Oct. 6. After touching down, the specialized version of a Boeing 747 taxied to parking at the Air National Guard section of the airport.

Greeting President Biden on arrival were Gov. Kathy Hochul, Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, Rep. Patrick Ryan, Orange County Executive Steven Neuhaus, Brigadier General Gary Charlton, commander of the 105th Airlift Wing and his wife Susan.

Biden and Hochul hugged and the pres ident held her hand as they talked. Biden spent approximately eight minutes chatting with those who greeted him at the airport.

Biden’s motorcade to IBM left the air port at 12:05 p.m. At IBM’s facility on Route 9 in Poughkeepsie, company Chairman and CEO Arvind Krishna escorted Biden and other dignitaries on a tour that began in a warehouse.

They were told a brief history of IBM as they walked over to an area where old IBM mainframe computers were set up for comparison with newer equipment.

Biden examined the latest computers and the chips that they use. Biden chatted and shook hands with some employees waiting for him in the area.

“More is going to change in the next 10 years than it has in the last 40,” Biden said.

In a speech before an audience of IBM employees and invited guests, Krishna for mally announced IBM’s plan to spend $20 billion over the next 10 years in expanding its research, development and manufactur ing operations in the Hudson Valley.

“Poughkeepsie is the place where we manufacture the state-of-the-art comput ers and we export these made-in-America computers all over the world,” Krishna said. “Poughkeepsie is also the heart of a broader ecosystem. We have other sites in Yorktown Heights and Albany. We are helping to push the boundaries of semiconductor design and manufacturing. From basic science to pushing the limits of semiconductor tech nology, and harnessing the power of quan tum (computing) the future of computing is happening right here in New York’s Hudson Valley.”

In his remarks, President Biden under scored the potential for the newly passed CHIPS and Science Act to be the catalyst for bringing massive computer chip man ufacturing back to the U.S. He praised the Hudson Valley for being a place of inno vation in manufacturing that in the past ranged from typewriters to cough drops.

“It’s here now where the Hudson Valley could become the epicenter of the future of quantum computing, the most advanced and fastest computing ever, ever seen in the world,” Biden said. “Quantum comput ing has the potential to transform every thing, from how we create new medicines to how we power artificial intelligence and cybersecurity. It’s technology that is vital to our economy and equally important to our national security.”

Biden pointed out that the U.S. faces new tough competition from China and that lobbyists working for China campaigned against the CHIPS Act.

“This is about economic security,” Biden said. “It’s about national security. And it’s about good-paying jobs you can raise a fam ily on. Jobs now. Jobs for the future. Jobs in every part of our country. And that’s what we’re going to see here in this factory in the beautiful Hudson Valley: people of all ages, all races, all backgrounds — with advanced degrees to no degrees — working side by side, doing the most sophisticated manufac turing the world has ever seen.”

When the IBM visit was over, Biden’s motorcade went to Hudson Valley Regional Airport in Poughkeepsie, formerly Dutchess County Airport, where the Marine One heli copter was waiting to fly him to an appear ance in Red Bank, New Jersey.

HGAR report finds bright spots amid Q3 slump

BY PETER KATZ Pkatz@westfairinc.com

The Hudson Gateway Association of Realtors (HGAR) sees bright spots in the residential real estate picture for Westchester and nearby counties despite rising mortgage interest rates and persistent inflation. Its report on activity during the third quarter of the year found that while total transactions are down from the level during the third quarter of 2021, median sales prices continue to increase through out the market, driven in large part by low inventory.

“We also are likely experiencing a return to a more seasonal market, which disap peared during the latter half of 2020 and the entirety of 2021,” the HGAR report said.

The report used data from the multi ple listing service OneKeyMLS, which was formed in 2018 following the merger of the Hudson Gateway Multiple Listing Service and the Multiple Listing Service of Long Island. HGAR’s report did not include

Dutchess County sales.

In Westchester County, there was a total of 2,006 single-family home sales in the third quarter of 2022, down of 15.6% from the third quarter of 2021. HGAR pointed out that when compared with the third quarter of 2019, sin gle-family home sales in Westchester were up 3.4%.

The percentage decline in condominium sales in Westchester for the third quarter of 2022 was a steep 24.5% with 370 condos changing hands compared with 490 in the third quarter of 2021.

The number of co-op units that were sold in the third quarter of 2022 matched what it had been in the same period during 2021: 570.

Putnam County saw 326 single-family home sales in the third quarter of the year, down 10.7% from the 365 sales in the third quarter of last year. The median selling price of $505,000 was 8.6% higher than the $465,000 recorded in the third quarter of 2021.

There were 50 condos sold in Putnam

during the third quarter of 2022, down 21.9% from the 64 units sold in the third quarter last year. One co-op was sold in Putnam, compared with none in the third quarter of 2021. The price was $120,000.

In Rockland County, single-family home sales dropped from 716 in the third quarter of 2021 to 650 this year, a 9.2% decline. The median sale price went up by 14.2%, standing at $660,000 compared with $578,000 in the third quarter of 2021.

Condo sales in Rockland dropped by 15.8%, with 170 units sold in the third quarter of 2022 compared with 202 in the third quar ter of 2021. The median sale price went up by 7.6% from $309,950 to $333,500. Co-op sales went down by 5.7%, with 66 units sold in the third quarter of this year compared with 70 in the same period last year.

Orange County’s third quarter numbers showed 1,019 single family homes sold, down 14% from the 1,185 sold in the third quarter of 2021. The median sale price was up 9.1% from $385,000 to $420,000.

However, the dramatic percentage becomes not so impressive when actual units sold are counted because there were only three sold this year compared with one in last year’s third quarter.

Demand for luxury properties still strong in HV and CT

BY PETER KATZ Pkatz@westfairinc.com

Houlihan Lawrence has released its report on third-quarter lux ury home sales in Westchester, Putnam and Dutchess counties as well as selected Connecticut localities. Although there are mixed signals, the report indi cates that the luxury end of the single-fami ly real estate market remains solid.

“In Greenwich, both inventory and pended sales are down. However, homes are selling faster and at the asking price, pointing to a healthy market that is suf fering only from a lack of product,” said Anthony P. Cutugno

Sr., vice president and director of pri vate brokerage for Houlihan Lawrence. “In Darien, Rowayton, and New Canaan ... homes are selling more quickly than in the same period last year. There is an appetite for new inventory, underscoring the sus tained buoyancy of the luxury market.”

In Westchester, where the luxury mar ket begins at $2 million, 267 luxury homes sold in the third quarter of 2022 compared with 242 in the same period last year, a 10.3% increase. The median sale price rose

went up 9.7% from $4,237,500 in last year’s third quarter to $4,650,000 this year.

There was a 37.5% drop in the number of luxury homes sold in Darien during the third quarter of this year compared with last year’s third quarter. The luxury market begins at $2 million and there were 30 sales during this year’s Q3 compared with 48 last year. The median sale price went up by 3.2% from $2,775,000 to $2,862,500.

Rowayton experienced a 10% decline in $2 million and up luxury sales with nine sold in this year’s third quarter com pared with 10 in Q3 for 2021 The median sale price jumped 17.8% from $2,402,500 to $2,830,000.

One of Houlihan’s

on five acres at $9,495,000.

by 4.9% from $2,622,500 to $2,750,000. The report combined statistics for Putnam and Dutchess where the luxury market begins at $1 million. In the third quarter of this year, 32 luxury homes changed hands, which was a 30.4% drop from the 46 homes that sold in the same

period last year. The median sale price went down 6.5% from $1,550,000 to $1,450,000.

The luxury market in Greenwich begins at the $3 million price level and saw 85 homes sold in the third quarter of 2022 compared with 120 in the third quarter of 2021, a 29.2% drop. The median sale price

In New Canaan, the luxury market also begins at $2 million. There were 43 luxury homes sold in Q3 of this year, a 17.3% drop from the 52 that sold in Q3 of 2021. The median sale price was up by 9.3%, reaching $2,800,000 compared with $2,562,500 in last year’s third quarter.

“Buyers are motivated, decisive and knowledgeable,” Cutugno said. “They are quick to say yes to a listing that meets their criteria and swift to discard it if they per ceive a listing to be overpriced and visually underwhelming.”

Laurent Lighting and Design illuminates a new Darien location

BY JUSTIN MCGOWN

The evening of Oct. 6 saw the opening of Laurent Lighting and Design’s new Darien location. The occasion was marked by champagne and hors d’oeuvres in the showroom just off the Boston Post Road in a space at the rear of the Darien Playhouse building.

The expansion was spurred in part by the continued success of the local busi ness’ Ridgefield location and an appre ciation for the “totally different vibe” that a coastal town like Darien offers, according to Nancy Dichiora, the found er and designer for Laurent Lighting and Design.

“I was drawn to the casualness and coastal elegance of the aesthetic,” Dichiora said. “We thought it was a great location for us, a perfect location with great visibility.”

Chandeliers with classic profiles and the latest cutting-edge designs adorn the showroom while large windows allow plenty of light to enter the showroom, which also provides visitors with insight into the store’s cabinetry and hardwood options.

“I love U.S.-made products,” Dichiora said, “and not just because of the sup ply chain, but because of the quality. I wouldn’t sell anything that I wouldn’t put in my own home.”

Dichiora has a background in interior design, which she said informs the selec tion of pieces to include in the show room. She added this allows her to work closely with architects who appreciate input on choosing lighting fixtures that are an optimal fit for the space.

“We’re very thrilled to be here,” Dichiora said of the new venue. “We’re very excited about this location and we’re happy to be part of the commu nity.”

The community, in turn, was eager to welcome the business. The staff at Rudy’s Grooming Club located next door pre sented their new neighbors with a bou quet to mark the occasion. The reception and official ribbon cutting were well attended by other members of the Darien business community and representatives of the Darien Chamber of Commerce.

“Every time we get a new member, whether it’s a brick and mortar or a business like a lawyer or doctor, we love to welcome them to our town and our membership by having a ribbon-cutting ceremony,” said Kesti Ayssa, the execu

tive director of the Darien Chamber of Commerce. “It’s just a great way to get the community inside to see what they’re about. We’ve been waiting for a very long time — it’s a beautiful space. I think they fit right in and we don’t have anything quite like this. All the lighting and the inventory is beautiful.”

“I know that people in Darien love to decorate their homes,” Ayssa added wryly, “so I know that they will be suc cessful.”

Fairfield University has announced it will name its new 85,000-square foot arena the Leo D. Mahoney Arena. The new venue, which will officially open in November, replaces the institution’s long-standing landmark Alumni Hall.

The arena’s namesake was co-found er of Eastern Minerals Inc., a road salt supplier based in Lowell, Massachusetts, who serves as a member of the univer sity’s trustees advisory council during the early 1990s. His daughter Shelagh Mahoney-McNamee, who graduated from the school in 1987, is a member of the board of trustees and offered a finan cial gift that was described by the school as “the single largest by an alumna in the university’s history.”

“It is an honor to be a part of this new chapter in Fairfield’s history,” said Mahoney-McNamee. “I am grateful for the opportunity to give back to my alma mater, that has given me so much both personally and professionally, and to honor my father, with this dedication.”

The fifth annual Dart to The Finish char ity walk benefitting Dana’s Angels Research Trust (Dart), took place on Sept. 24 at Greenwich Point Park in Old Greenwich, and virtually across the country. More than 300 participated and helped raise over $175,000, which will help support crucial research into better treatments, clinical trials and genetic testing for Niemann Pick type C disease (NPC), a very rare childhood disease that is often referred to as Childhood Alzheimer’s.

“…This year has had a lot of progress with potentially moving two life-saving treatments forward with the FDA and the funds raised at this walk will help further research on these and other potential treatments for children impacted by NPC,” said Andrea Marella, co-founder of Dart.

Dana’s Angels Research Trust was founded in 2002 by Andrea and Phil Marella of Greenwich, Connecticut, after two of their four children, Dana and Andrew, were diagnosed with Nie mann-Pick type C disease (NPC). Dana sadly passed away in 2013 at age 19. But Andrew, who turned 23 in June, is doing better due to his enrollment in a clinical trial to slow the progression of the disease.

“…Most children with NPC passed away in their early teens. Today, with the help of Dart, we have changed that picture. …The NPC community is currently working with the FDA on ap proving two of the treatments Dart has helped fund, which have benefitted our son Andrew. In the U.S. alone, there are now 120 children enrolled in clinical tri als and 50 more international patients. These advancements and progress have only been possible from the generous support of our wonderful Dart commu nity, here in Greenwich and throughout the world, who have come together to support funding that is truly saving

lives,” said Phil Marella, co-founder of Dart.

NPC is so rare that only about 200 children in the U.S. have been diag nosed with the disease. and only a few,

including Andrew, live in Connecticut. This devastating genetic disorder robs a child of the ability to live a long, healthy life, often becoming fatal in the teenage years.

The U.S. Department of Health and Social Services has placed Norwalk Community Health Center Inc.  (NCHC) among the top 10% of health centers nationally for clinical quality of care in 2022. According to the Health Re sources and Services Administration (HRSA), NCHC, a nonprofit 501(c)3 health care provider, is one of only 140 health centers out of more than 1,400 sites to achieve this gold standard milestone. The community health care

The health center was also recognized in 2022 by the Na tional Committee on Quality Assurance as a patient-centered medical home. Norwalk Community Health Center pro vides a continuum of patient-focused medical, dental and wellness services

for residents of greater Norwalk and Fairfield County. No one is turned away because of status or inability to pay.

More importantly, it assures our community, and our patients, that they can expect the highest level of care at Norwalk Community Health Center,” said Nor walk Community Health Center’s CEO Kenneth Waller.
