The future of White Plains is coming
By Howard Greenberg
There will be many tweaks and changes until the fnal plan is approved, but the broad concept for redevelopment of the Galleria Mall site in White Plains has now been put forward by the Cappelli Organization, Pacifc Retail and SL Green Realty Corp.
It would turn about 11 acres, formerly occupied by the obsolete mall and municipal garage in the center of the city into a vibrant community of apartments, eating and entertainment venues with almost half the site being open space.
Think about the pedestrian activity day and night associated with the proposed 3,200 units of new highrise housing and just a short walk to the Metro-North Railroad station.
WHY ARE SO MANY APARTMENTS BEING BUILT?
District Galleria will be a continuation of the signifcant development of apartments in White Plains. Almost all of them have been new ground-up buildings. But a couple (1 Martine at City Square and Hamilton Crossing) have been conversions of old ofce space into residential space. They have both been successful and feature spectacular amenities packages.
I am fully confdent that all of the apartments that are under construction will be rented. A prime example is that the recent lease-up of The Mitchell on Mamaroneck Avenue
was the fastest in the 70-year history of one of America’s largest home builders, Lennar. It is a clear example of how the right product produces a high level of demand.
While apartments developed today are almost always on the small side, the amenities packages are huge. It is not about spending all of your time in your apartment. You can go to the ftness center, the game room, the golf simulator, the swimming pool and sundeck. You can barbeque and enjoy the view from the roof deck. You can watch sports on big screen TV’s, entertain in a private dining room, have a business meeting in a conference room and work in an onsite co-working area. You can store your bike and give your dog a bath in
into apartment communities, medical uses, other concepts such as LifeTime Fitness or a mixture of uses.
WHAT ABOUT BUILDING OFFICES?
Our county-wide ofce inventory has shrunk from approximately 33 million square feet to about 26 million square feet in the last 12 years or so. Some obsolete buildings have been demolished and the sites developed
There is currently are least one-million or two-million more square feet of buildings in the inventory that cannot transact leases due primarily to fnancial issues. With the advent of remote work and hybrid work, demand for ofce space nationally is decreasing, but we still cannot repurpose enough of it to get the supply-demand equation in balance.
While there have been articles recently about many companies requiring their employees to return to the
About 229,000 square feet is planned for retail, restaurants and services, and 384 apartments, about 12%, would be afordable, per the city’s requirements. The development is estimated to cost $2.5 billion.
This will be a massive project that according to Louis Cappelli will take 10 to 12 years to complete. As with any large construction project, there will be a lot of noise, truck trafc and material hauled in and out of the site, which will afect those living and working in the downtown area. The new buildings will not all be built at the same time. But the result, I believe, will be worth it: a total transformation of the central part of the downtown area into what people want today.
the dog room. No snow shoveling, no repairs, no maintenance responsibilities. The low inventory of homes for sale (at very high prices) only adds to the attractiveness of the new developments for everyone from young singles to empty nesters and seniors.
Near the Galleria site, Hamilton Green is currently under construction. This two-phase development was originally planned as a four building multi-family community. However, plans now call for one of the buildings to become the new home to the New York Power Authority, currently located in its own building at 123 Main St. It is a great idea that will keep a major employer in downtown White Plains and open up its former building for redevelopment.
ofce for three to fve days per week, these have been major companies in tech or fnance that are not typically tenants in Westchester.
Lately, leasing in the downtown White Plains submarket has ticked up, as there is a desire by some companies to have ofces with good amenity packages that are walkable to eating venues, bars, services and the Metro-North Station.
We may not all be here when the District Galleria is fnished, but I'm not hesitating to forecast that it will bring White Plains into this century while reuniting and reinvigorating the city.

Jarlsberg Cheese maker moves HQ to Norwalk from Darien
By Gary Larkin / glarkin@westfairinc.com
NORWALK – A subsidiary of Norway’s largest dairy cooperative has relocated its headquarters to Merritt 7 from Darien, according to Choyce Peterson Inc., the commercial real estate frm.
Norseland Inc., which is known for importing iconic Jarlsberg Cheese and premium specialty cheese brands, has signed a lease for 11,353 square feet of space at 301 Merritt 7.
The company said it decided to relocate because of the comprehensive amenities ofered by Merritt 7 Corporate Park. That includes ample covered parking, multiple dining options including a Starbucks, a ftness center, conference rooms, a salon, car washing services, ATMs, on-site security, and a prime location.
“We’re thrilled to be moving into this premier ofce location,” said
Sean Moore, CEO and President of Norseland, a subsidiary of TINE SA. John Hannigan, principal, and James Rifce, associate, of Choyce Peterson represented Norseland in the deal.
Merritt 7 Corporate Park’s ownership of Clarion Partners LLC and Marcus Partners was represented by JoAnn McGrath of Marcus Partners, and Jones Lang LaSalle’s Betsy Buckley, Ed Tonnessen, and Gil Ohls.
“In a competitive ofce market, their decision to move to Merritt 7 was a wise one,” Hannigan said.
“This long-term lease provides them with a state-of-the-art workspace, numerous amenities, and a convenient commute.”

Land-Lease Co-op Owners Can Now Exercise Renewal Rights Any Time Before Lease Expiration
On October 4, 2024, Governor Kathy Hochul signed into law the Ground Lease Renewal Bill, dramatically improving the rights of land-lease co-op owners in New York to renew their ground leases. Shareholders in land-lease cooperatives are now permitted to exercise renewal rights under their ground leases at any time prior to expiration, irrespective of the exercise date restrictions specified in their lease.
The Problem: Co-op owners in buildings subject to a ground lease face a number of dif icult scenarios if the term of that ground lease is about to expire. If a co-op ground lease is allowed to expire, title to the land, including all structures and capital improvements, reverts to the landowner. In that event, the co-op shareholder loses their unit without compensation and are left with only a rent-stabilized monthto-month leasehold estate.
Co-op ground leases usually run for a term of 99 years and contain renewal rights. Such ground lease renewal rights often are only exercisable during a fixed period of time in the last years of the ground lease. This timing markedly strengthens the bargaining power of the landowner/ground lessor and creates considerable problems for both the cooperative corporations and their shareholders.
For example, if the remaining term on the ground lease is less than 35 years, many lenders (including Fannie Mae) will not grant a conventional mortgage secured by the co-op leasehold. This cripples the value of the unit and can grossly impair the ability to sell.
Market forces add the risk that, because of the disproportionately greater bargaining power of landowners, they will seek sharp rent increases upon renewal to reflect and reap the benefits of spiraling real estate values.
What the new Law does: The Bill signed into law by Governor Hochul permits co-op shareholders to exercise their renewal options at any time during
the term of the lease, irrespective of the exercise date restrictions contained in the ground lease. Thus, shareholders need not wait until the remaining term of the lease is reduced so low that their bargaining power is significantly weakened and refinancing is all but impossible.
Additional bills that would have capped ground lease rent increases and provide cooperative corporations a right of first
refusal were proposed, but these bills were vigorously opposed by the real estate industry and did not pass. Ground lease co-ops typically sell for 20% to 30% less than conventional fee cooperative units; industry leaders argued that the buyers of these units reaped the benefits of the reduced prices with full knowledge of the risks of a ground lease arrangement. Capping ground rent increases or other such measures, they argued, would
therefore constitute an impermissible taking and an inappropriate interference with a contractual relationship. So far, those arguments appear to have won the day.

Te US economy is oscillating between an upper boundary imposed by high real interest rates and the support provided by a resilient consumer. Overall trends refect modest cooling of economic activity and declining infation. Following several years of strong infows of debt and equity, Commercial Real Estate (CRE) assets lost investor attention as the interest rate hiking cycle gained steam. Risk aversion toward CRE investments brought about a steep decline in investment sales and difcult price discovery, which we are still experiencing. Te loss of capital and confdence, with a backdrop of high borrowing rates, pushed capitalization rates higher and depressed values.

“It’s Where the Business Is.”
About 100 years ago, a reporter asked the famed bank robber, Willie Sutton, why he robbed banks. His quintessential reply was simple and direct. “That’s where the money is.” The Sutton Principle, which essentially is, “When you have a problem, look to the most obvious solution frst,” has endured and in October of 2021, when Bond, Schoeneck & King (Bond), needed more space for its New York City offce, the solution became opening a Westchester offce in White Plains, because, as Sutton might have put it, “That’s where the business is.”
Bond is a full-service law frm of 300+ attorneys. Headquartered in Syracuse, Bond has 11 offces located throughout New York State, in Naples, Florida, Boston, New Jersey and Overland Park, Kansas. Over its more than 135 years, Bond has built an outstanding reputation for its representation of all types of businesses with a focus on business, construction, and higher education institutions. Several of its practice areas, including labor and employment and higher education, have national reputations.
In 2004, attorney Lou DiLorenzo, along with several attorneys from two former labor and employment boutiques, led Bond’s expansion downstate, opening offces in Garden City and Midtown Manhattan. These offces now total more than 70 attorneys. But that is getting a bit ahead of the story. During COVID, while addressing the many challenges of the pandemic, Bond also looked to focus on the opportunities it presented. While the world was zooming from home in their most comfortable clothing, Bond’s Labor and Employment Group identifed and executed three major projects to grow its practice.
Bond frst created a weekly webinar series, “Bond for Business.” The intent was to update clients and prospects with timely COVID developments. At its height, the series drew well over 1,000 subscribers. To this day, it continues to exceed audience expectations, addressing pertinent topics of interest to businesses in New York and elsewhere.
The second project was the publication (through the New York State Bar Association) of what is regarded as the leading treatise on New York Employment Law, a 450-page explanation of the complexities and nuances of New York Employment Law. Work has already begun on a second edition, due in 2025.
The third item on the agenda was the frm’s combination with the well-known and highly respected 150 year old labor and employment boutique frm of Putney, Twombley, Hall & Hirson LLP in March of 2021. As Putney’s managing member Dan Murphy and the other Putney attorneys joined our Midtown offce, an expansion became necessary. This presented the perfect opportunity to open a Westchester offce in White Plains.
The reasons were simple. Westchester is home to over a million people and is the county that contains the greatest number of communities ranked in the top 200 wealthiest communities in the United States. It is also home to numerous Fortune 500 and middle market companies, major hospitals and health care systems, manufacturing facilities, construction companies, and hospitality venues, not to mention 118 private schools, 40 public schools, 14 colleges, 38 public libraries, 19 towns, 23 villages, and 41 long term care facilities. Bond has represented signifcant Westchester clients in each of these categories and more. Existing clients welcomed having their attorneys close to them and potential clients have been given an opportunity to see what they were missing.
Bond attorneys living in Westchester or northern New Jersey jumped at the chance to work in White Plains over a daily
commute to Midtown. That said, from White Plains, Bond’s New York City offce is a short, 35-minute train ride to Grand Central Station and from there, a two-block walk to the Midtown offce. Bond attorneys in Westchester regularly represent clients and work on matters involving our New York City offce and New York City clients.
Additionally, Bond’s Albany offce has the leading labor and employment practice in its geographic area and represents signifcant clients throughout the Hudson Valley, particularly in Poughkeepsie. Likewise, Bond’s Westchester offce represents labor and employment clients in Westchester and its adjoining counties. As a result, the frm is uniquely positioned to represent clients up and down and east and west of the Hudson River.
The convenience of a Westchester location extends to the New York City and federal Courts of the United States District Courts for the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York. Westchester is its own market as well, with its own Judges and Regulatory offces. Bond’s frst-class litigation
practice often serves as local counsel for out-of-state and out-of-country law frms. Bond previously did not receive referrals for litigation work in Westchester since it lacked an offce there. It does now.
Even though Bond doesn’t generally look to bank robbers for inspiration, Willie Sutton was right. The best solution to any challenge is more often than not the simplest and most direct. Westchester’s business community offered Bond the perfect and simple solution to its challenge to grow, just as the Bond offce can offer the Westchester business community solutions for growing and managing its issues. The frm feels at home with Westchester’s business and education communities, and looks forward to furthering its contributions as a member of the community.

Covid-relief fraudster s entenced to prison for 2 years
Conspirator caught in Yonkers with state labor department mail.
By Bill heltzel / bheltzel@westfairinc.com
An accomplice in a massive stolen Covid-19 relief funds fraud has been sentenced to federal prison for two years.
U.S. District Judge Philip M. Halpern also ordered Henry Junior Fermin to pay back $3.3 million to the New York Department of Labor, on Oct. 17 in White Plains federal court.
Fermin and co-conspirator Yohauris Rodriguez Hernandez were caught by happenstance four years ago near a Northwest Yonkers hotel. A new guest who checked into their room before they had moved their belongings found 747 pieces of mail issued by the state Department of Labor.
Yonkers police arrested the suspects as they were trying to fee the area.
The mail was linked to three post ofce carriers who had been enlisted to steal state Department of Labor correspondence, including $3.2 million.
Last year, Fermin pleaded guilty to
theft of government funds, conspiracy to commit wire fraud, and aggravated identity theft.
Fermin wrote a two-page letter to judge Halpern that expressed shame for his wrong-doing and asked for a second chance.
"I think the loneliness I felt and the sense of feeling lost in this world is part of the reason why I chose to keep the company of the wrong people," he said.
He had always tried to do the right thing, he told the judge, and had always been employed and supported himself. He is scared of prison, and he wants to work and contribute to society.
"Please give me a second chance," he pleaded, "and I guarantee that I will do everything I can to earn that chance."
Assistant prosecutor Kevin T. Sullivan recommended not less than four years in prison.
He said Fermin participated in a massive conspiracy that targeted
pandemic relief funds that were intended as a safety net for people "struggling to make ends meet during an unprecedented and historic global health crisis."
Sullivan noted that Fermin's father was imprisoned during much of his childhood and adolescence. His father was murdered by Fermin's uncle. His mother and siblings were mentally and emotionally abusive to him, "and even today have efectively disowned him for reasons unrelated to this case."
Yet, he has consistently maintained employment for nearly all of his adult life.
"The government is hopeful that the ease and willful disregard for the law Fermin showed ... is in fact an aberration in an otherwise law-abiding life."
Hernandez, who Sullivan says was more culpable for the fraud, was sentenced in February to six years and seven months in prison.
Halpern ordered Fermin to surrender to the Bureau of Prisons on Dec. 2.
MAKE WAY FOR THE LAFAYETTE STAMFORD
By Gary Larkin / glarkin@westfairinc.com
STAMFORD – A once dilapidated building on East Main Street behind the highway overpass has made its grand entrance to the rejuvenated East Side section of the city.
Known as The Lafayette Stamford, the 130-unit apartment building was unveiled to VIPs and the media Tuesday, Oct. 22 by Mayor Caroline Simmons and the developer Wellbuilt Co. of Greenwich. The apartment building’s opening gives this part of the city a second chance. One where it will now be directly accessible to downtown.
“This is a huge moment for us,” said James Grunberger, co-founder and chair of East Side Partnership at Tuesday’s press conference. “Twenty fve years ago, we started the Eastside Partnership. This neighborhood was not like this at all.
“At this very spot, we had people arrested for making machine guns out
of hand guns. A lot of terrible things were happening behind this building. There was so much grafti on the side of this building that when I showed up with students to paint over it, I never carry a knife. But at that time I carried two knives – one in each pocket for my own personal protection.”
Then came along Mitch Kidd and Scott Lumby of Greenwich-based Wellbuilt, a service-oriented frm that has specialized in real estate development, construction and asset management since 2009.
“When I frst met Mitch and Scott, I was amazed how they asked what our group did and how they could help,” Grunberger said. “They were asking me about diferent modes of transportation. They were interested in creating a walkway behind this building that leads into downtown.
“I showed them a plan that I had shown to the Yale School of Architecture on Lockwood Avenue when Domus Kids was there to create a public place making project under a bridge using light-based art. They ran with the idea and applied for and got a $75,000 state grant to do a feasibility study.”
Of the 130 units, The Lafayette offers 66 studios. The rest are 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom apartments. There is also a rooftop garden and recreation area for kids and adults, a gymnasium, dog wash. Each apartment includes smart building access, central air and heating, in-unit washer and dryer, a smart thermostat, oversized windows, USB outlets, and walk-in closets.
The rent is $2,150-$2,275 for a studio, $2,650-$2,825 for a 1 bedroom, and $3,125-$3,425 for a 2 bedroom.
When it was appraised in 2023 to refect all the work that had been done, the City of Stamford valued it at $7.9 million. That takes into account $6.7 million in improvements.
“It’s absolutely beautiful,” said Mayor Simmons. “We are so lucky to have this building right here in the heart of the East Side of Stamford. It’s such a vibrant community.”
As part of the partnership with the City of Stamford and the East Side Partnership, Wellbuilt added 18 below-market rate units to this building, which is ofering families making 50% of area median income an afordable place to live near the downtown transit center, Simmons said.
“You also have amazing amenities,” she added. “We appreciate the sidewalk improvements. The greenwalls and the beautiful murals behind the building. It’s absolutely beautifed this area of the East Side. We are very grateful for that.”
Simmons told the Fairfeld County Business Journal how this project, just like that of The Glenview and East Side Common, aligns with all of the city’s goals.
“They’ve improved our infrastructure. They’ve added sidewalks. They made it more accessible and pedestrian-friendly. They’ve added afordable housing for families in our workforce with is necessary in our city right now,” she said.
Simmons shared that the building is
“We are so lucky to have this building right here in the heart of the East Side of Stamford. It’s such a vibrant community.”
– Mayor Caroline Simmons

Kidd, who hails from Australia along with Lumby, hopes to fulfll that wish and is already working on another project for an extended stay hotel in the area.

Zoning change sought to allow five soundstages and more in movie/TV complex for SW Yonkers
By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com
“We
are plain and simply out of stages. We have fve stages that are complete, all full and operating with diferent shows, and we have other shows waiting to come.”
– Ward
Developers Joe Cotter and Lynne Ward of Greenwich-based National Resources on behalf of i.Park Riverdale LLC are asking Yonkers for a zoning change that will allow them to proceed with developing the former Leake & Watts and Rising Ground property at 501 Hawthorne Ave. into a major movie and TV production campus. National Resources has been involved with Robert Halmi Jr.'s Great Point Studios in creating Lionsgate and other studio facilities in Yonkers.
i.Park Riverdale LLC purchased the approximately 28-acre Hawthorne Avenue property from Rising Ground Inc. in December of 2022 for $52.6 million, according to a document on fle with the Westchester County Clerk's Ofce.
Cotter says that adding a use of "Planned Film and Educational Devel-
opment" by special permit to the current MG zoning district will allow them to redevelop the property and further the goals of the Yonkers Comprehensive Plan while increasing the city's tax base by bringing this formerly tax-exempt property onto the tax rolls.
In an initial phase of development, the existing Biondi School Building and Ames School Building on the property have already been refurbished to create the Robert Halmi Sr. Academy for Film & Television. The public middle and high school operated by the Yonkers Board of Education was opened with a formal ribbon-cutting on Sept. 25. Robert Halmi Sr. was a renowned
movie and TV producer and the father of Great Point's Robert Halmi Jr. i.Park Riverdale is planning to update an administration building on the property to house ofces and educational facilities. It expects one or more institutions of higher learning to be ac-
tive at the site. It would update several residential cottages on the campus. A preliminary layout of what's planned indicates that the new construction of a studio complex would

Political Leaders Discuss Possible November Election Outcomes
The BCW held its quadrennial Road to the White House event on October 16 at Pace University in White Plains with presentations from political leaders and pundits on how the national election will determine the nation’s balance of power.
The invited speakers gave in-depth analysis of the presidential candidate’s prospects, how their policies may impact business and potential implications for the economy. The speakers included former New York Governor David Paterson; Jay Jacobs, chairman of the New York State Democratic Committee; Ed Cox, chairman of the New York State Republican Committee; Ashlee RichStephenson, a senior political strategist at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce; Bradley Honan, CEO and president of the Honan Strategy Group; and Dr. Laura Tamman, clinical assistant professor of political science at Pace University.
Afer each speaker, attendees asked pertinent questions about the upcoming election. Moderator and BCW executive vice-president and COO John Ravitz began the event by noting that the BCW does not endorse political candidates.
“We work with elected oficials on both sides of the aisle, and we pride ourselves on having developed a strong line of communication with those elected oficials to ensure that we are the eyes, ears—and in many cases—the voice of our members,” said Ravitz.
“The Trump campaign and every single Republican running for ofice—it doesn’t matter if it’s in New York State to most conservative stretches of this country—needs to be talking about the fact that Americans do not think last three years have been good for them or their families and they’re extremely pessimistic about the direction of this country,” said Stephenson.
Jacobs discussed his concept of voter amnesia and inversion that he said has taken hold of the country, and he used statistics to argue that the U.S. economy performs better under Democratic than Republican administrations.
Gov. Paterson warned about the challenges faced by New York’s economy, which he noted has a lower growth rate than surrounding states. He said that spending on healthcare and social services saps the vitality of the state’s other business sectors.
“What this means is that the government is going to have to take the same approach that business takes when you have that kind of problem,” said Gov. Paterson of the need to reduce public spending. “I am not comfortable feeling that the legislature can give that cooperation to the governor…. it’s going to be a dificult situation if that cooperation isn’t there because this is what has led to catastrophic results for state and even federal governments when they fail to address a problem.”
Stephenson gave a detailed analysis of polling for the closest presidential election in modern history, particularly in the seven battleground states whose outcomes will determine the presidential and senate races. She noted that Vice-President Kamala Harris has increasingly failed to separate herself from the economic policies of President Joe Biden’s administration.
“Donald Trump is a master of distraction, and he is a master salesman,” said Jacobs of Trump’s economic claims. “Since World War II, 10 of the last 11 recessions have started under Republican presidents.”
Cox predicted that Harris would lose the race because of historically high inflation only surpassed by the inflation rates of the late 1970s.
“You will recall that (President Jimmy) Carter was plagued by high inflation and high interest rates. This so-called, too-conservative (Ronald) Reagan was out there. He was behind in the polls…despite what the media said, he got 44 states, including New York, in a landslide,” said Cox.
Honan used a photograph of CitiField to demonstrate that about 41,000 people—the stadium’s capacity—will decide the national election. He noted that President Joe Biden only won the national election by a few thousand votes in the seven battleground states that will decide the November election.
“What is unique and diferent about this election from a mathematical standpoint, is that it’s the first time in 60 years that we have not had a single candidate who’s been ahead by five points for at least three weeks in the public polling,” said Honan.
Tamman ended the event by discussing threats to democracy like income inequality, political polarization, insurrections, and questions of who belongs. She proposed a counterbalance.
“Just as there are things that threaten democracy, there are things that support democracy, and one of those is high amounts of social capital,” said Tamman. “How do we get more social capital? Civic organizations like the Business Council of Westchester convening people from both parties to come together and talk, argue, and hear multiple perspectives. What you’re doing today is incredibly valuable to American democracy.”

Panel Focuses on Impactful Projects in Mount Vernon, Port Chester
The BCW’s latest edition of the State of the Economy series welcomed developers who are building transformative mixed-use projects in Mount Vernon and Port Chester.
BCW Executive Vice President and COO John Ravitz moderated the October 10th panel—the third State of the Economy this year that addresses Westchester’s transformational projects. Panelists included Jonathan Gertman, Senior Vice President of Development at The NRP Group; Christopher Gibaldi, Managing Director of Development at Rose Associates; Steve Horton, President of the Grandview Consulting Group; Andrea Mignone, Director of Development Marketing at Rose Associates; Peter O’Keefe, Director of Development at Rose Associates; and Kenneth Plummer, President of Forward Thinkers Development LLC.
Ravitz began the panel by noting the strong developer interest in Westchester County despite the region’s excessive land-use bureaucracy.
“Even with all the challenges they face daily, they continue to want to build housing; they continue to want to help bring revenue into the county; and continue to want to create new jobs; and they also want to continue to build relationships with all the related businesses in the communities in which they’re working. And that’s what makes Westchester so special and vibrant,” said Ravitz.
8,300 square feet for a community center to be managed by the City of Mount Vernon. Gertman said his company was attracted to the location because of the transportation options, the proximity to other Westchester communities and the certainty that comes with formbased zoning.
“To walk in and be able to know that you have the legislation in place to build a sizeable project was really exciting to us,” said Gertman, adding that he expects to break ground on the project in the coming weeks.
The Rose team—Gibaldi, Mignone and O’Keefe—began their presentation with an overview of United Hospital, which closed in 2004 afer decades of decline.

Gertman, Horton and Plummer said their mixed-income, 315-unit project at 115 S. Macquesten Parkway highlights the importance of urban planning in a community. Mount Vernon has a form-based code around the Mount Vernon West Station that allows developers to build mid-rise residential towers within a defined area.
“Planning unlocks development, and it has unlocked local support and political support to make development happen,” said Gertman.
The $228 million project includes 5,000 square feet of retail and about
The project includes 775 rental units, 200 units of senior housing and a 120room hotel.
It took almost 20 years for developers to get the 15-acre property on High Street of Boston Post Road into the demolition phase. Construction is expected to begin in early 2026.
The Rose team explained that their project will fit elegantly into the surrounding area.
“When we were planning this project, we were really focused on what we could do to incorporate it into the surrounding community,” said Mignone. “We wanted this to be a place of light and air that fits into the suburban nature of the community, so even the tallest buildings in our development will be shorter than the old towers they are replacing.”
Afer the presentations, one attendee asked about the developers’ outlook on building in Westchester County. Gertman said that rising rents in the New York metro area continue to make the area attractive to residential builders, despite the region’s notorious bureaucratic hurdles. Ravitz concluded the event by noting that the BCW will continue to push local and state leaders to reform land-use and environmentalreview laws that create barriers to construction and exacerbate the region’s housing scarcity.
Rockland pet supplements sellers sued for trademark infringement
By Bill heltzel / bheltzel@westfairinc.com
A company that makes nutritional supplements for pets claims that two Rockland County businesses are reselling its products on Amazon without its permission.
Nutramax Laboratories Inc. of Lancaster, South Carolina accused Fisch Enterprises Inc., Spring Valley, and O&S Deals Inc., Monsey, of trademark infringement, in a complaint fled on Oct. 9 in U.S. District Court in White Plains.
"Consumers are ... misled to believe that Nutramax products sold by the defendants are the same as the goods Nutramax sells online," the complaint states, "when in fact they are materially diferent."
Nutramax makes products such as Dasuquin, a joint supplement for treating cartilage in dogs and cats. The chewable tablets are sold by veterinarians, stores and online merchants approved by Nutramax.
Fisch Enterprises is operated by
Samuel Fisch, of Monsey, and O&S Deals is directed by Ozer Senderowitz, of Monsey, according to the complaint, and they have been selling Dasuquin for dogs.
Nutramax has no deals with the Rockland businesses to sell its supplements, the complaint states, and no authorized resellers have been cleared to sell the products to them.
The problem, Nutramax explains, is quality control. Authorized distributors agree to employ people who are knowledgeable about the products, to ensure that customers get good service before and after pet owners buy the supplements. They also agree to store the products in cool, dry places to maintain product quality.
Pet owners who trust Nutramax and Amazon have no reason to suspect that the supplements sold on Amazon are diferent from the supplements purchased directly from authorized resellers, the complaint states.
Nutramax says it told the Rockland companies several times that they were
not allowed to resell the supplements, but they continued to peddle the products to pet lovers.
Unauthorized sales confuse buyers as to the true source of the supplement, according to the complaint, unjustly enriches the defendants, and interferes with Nutramax's business with resellers.
The company is asking the court to stop Fisch Enterprises and O&S Deals from selling Dasuquin, make them
return or destroy Nutramax's products, and order them to pay up to three times the amount of actual monetary damages.
Attempts to fnd contact information for Ozer Senderowitz, to ask for his side of the story, were unsuccessful. A message sent to an email address linked to the same postal address used by Fisch Enterprises in Spring Valley was answered: "Sorry... diferent Samuel fsch."
AG gets guilty pleas in Medicaid theft case
Three Orange County residents who own a transportation company DYD Universe Inc. that handled Medicaid patients have pleaded guilty for their roles in a scheme that stole more than $2.1 million from Medicaid. The scheme included paying illegal kickbacks to Medicaid recipients, according to New York State Attorney General Letitia James.
The guilty pleas were entered in Orange County Court in front of Judge Richard Guertin.
The owners of the company were identifed as Damir Yuldashev, his son Daler Yuldashev, and Daler’s mother Nigina Iskandarova, who all live in the Orange County town of Monroe. In entering the guilty pleas, they admitted that from April 2018 to March 2023 they stole more than $2.1 million from Medicaid by submitting fraudulent
claims for services that they knowingly did not provide and toll charges that they knew were not incurred. The owners also admitted to paying illegal kickbacks to Medicaid recipients in exchange for providing DYD with their confdential Medicaid identifcations in order to carry out the scheme.
The payments to Medicaid recipients undermined the businesses of other transportation providers in the Hudson Valley, according to James. Some passengers were paid thousands of dollars each to take rides that allowed DYD to collect tens of thousands of dollars in fees per passenger.
According to the court case, From April 2018 to March 2023, Daler and Damir Yuldashev billed Medicaid for fctitious trips and added fake tolls to their trips to infate their costs. DYD’s claims often added toll
charges from $15 to as much as $50 when the trips did not actually incur any tolls at all.
As a result of the pleas, Damir Yuldashev will be sentenced to two to six years in prison and, along with Daler Yuldashev, must pay back more than $2.1 million to Medicaid. Daler Yuldashev and Nigina Iskandarova will be sentenced to probation, and all three defendants will be permanently banned from being providers in all government-funded health programs.
“Stealing taxpayer funds that are meant to provide health care for low-income New Yorkers is unacceptable,” James said. “Instead of providing vulnerable patients with the transportation services they needed to get them to their appointments, these individuals exploited Medicaid recipients to carry out their fraud. I will not tolerate schemes like these that damage our health care system, and my ofce will continue to go after fraudsters who steal from Medicaid.”

There also would be 60,000 square feet of carpentry and set-building shop space along with ofce space, associated truck parking and an approximately 250-space parking structure in addition to the existing surface parking.

The property is located in southwestern Yonkers at the intersection of Hawthorne Avenue and Valentine Avenue, directly bordering the Riverdale section of the Bronx.
Cotter described the educational goal of the project as being "to promote diversity of opportunities for local students and Yonkers residents in the flm and media industry. To support this efort, will be the construction of studios and creative spaces for actual production of flm and television. The mission of the school is to prepare a creative workforce by providing arts and academic training through collaboration with industry partners and higher education connections, including the Newhouse School of Syracuse University, New York University, The Juilliard School
and the New York Film Academy, among others."
Ward said that the efort to move ahead with the development refects the success that has taken place in bringing the movie and TV production industry to Yonkers.
"We are plain and simply out of stages (soundstages)," Ward said. "We have fve stages that are complete. They are all full and operating with diferent shows and we have other shows waiting to come."
“The mission of the school is to prepare a creative workforce by providing arts and academic training through collaboration with industry partners and higher education connections.”

Wards said that the previous owner of the site had been transferring its operations to a new property and had been expected to complete the move out by the end of this year.
"We don't think that's going to happen so we are accommodating them along the way," Ward said. She said that i.Park would be meeting with neighborhood groups to discuss trafc issues, landscaping of the property and any other concerns they may have.
The Yonkers Planning Board has unanimously passed a resolution designating itself as lead agency for the coordinated environmental review of the project.

Hyatt Regency Greenwich unveils $40 million renovation
By Georgette Gouvei a / ggouveia@westfairinc.com
“The renovation was all about building on the 1920s era and leaning into that and a modern nod.”
Publishing history and contemporary lifestyle dovetail beautifully in the renovated Hyatt Regency Greenwich, which had its ofcial opening Thursday, Oct. 17, with tours of the elegant site, once a home of Condé Nast publications; delicious sandwiches, hors d’oeuvres and cocktails from its new Townsend Bar & Lounge; and the jazz stylings of The Creswell Club instrumental ensemble that nodded to the hotel’s marriage of past and present.
cycle, no unloading and reloading necessary. As George and Ira Gershwin’s 1930 song “I Got Rhythm” would say, “Who could ask for anything more?”

To which the TikTok generation would reply, what about streaming your own shows on the smart TV? (Yep.) Ample outlets and USB ports as well as a dedicated workstation? (Yep, yep and yep.) A ftness center? In late 2023, the hotel upgraded its indoor pool, hot tub and 24-hour ftness center to include new cardio and strength equipment along with three new Peloton Bikes. Ride a Peloton for 20 minutes, Ong said, and you get World of Hyatt points.
– Sherry Hicks-Buckles, General Manager of the Hyatt Regency Greenwich
The $40 million refurbishment represents a new chapter in the life of the 38-year-old hotel, part of the Hyatt Regency brand of more than 230 locations in 40-plus countries, and for Trinity Investments, a Honolulu-based private real estate investment frm that acquired the Hyatt Regency Greenwich in 2022 for more than $37 million. With a 28-year history of specializing in value-add opportunities in world-class markets, Trinity has invested more than $9.8 billion in the United States, Mexico, Europe and Japan as of April of this year.
The revamping by Curioso – a Chicago-based collective of architects, interior designers and artists – refects a desire to blend the spirit of the hotel’s Old Greenwich locale, the last Greenwich stop before Stamford, and its Condé Nast past, with all the modern amenities that the digital age demands.
“The renovation was all about building on the 1920s era and leaning into that and a modern nod,” said Sherry Hicks-Buckles, the hotel’s general manager, referring to the years (1921-67) when the 15-acre site housed the printing press and some ofces for such Condé Nast publications as House & Garden, Vanity Fair and Vogue.
We could see this fusion unfold as we toured the four-story hotel with Marcus N. Ong, director of sales, marketing and events. The Library, of the vaunted atrium lobby, in particular evokes the clubby “Great Gatsby” era with its humidor, billiards table and bookshelves displaying vintage Condé Nast covers – all wrapped in a bottle-green palette, a signature hue of colleges, the Jazz Age and now the
Hyatt Regency Greenwich. Its masculine energy, Ong said, contrasts with the lighter, more feminine sage and blond palette of the adjacent Glenna’s Café & Market, which continues the 1920s theme, being named as it is for New Haven-born World Golf Hall of Famer Glenna Collett-Vare (1903-89), who dominated the women’s game in the 1920s with a record-breaking 59 (out of 60) match wins in 1924. But Glenna’s also seeks to fulfll today’s lifestyle demands. Sit-down lunches are not big with hotel guests, Ong said. They’re out for lunch or looking for grab-and-go options for lunch as well as breakfast. Glenna’s ofers an assortment of cofee drinks and house-made breakfast and lunch options, along with items from local businesses.
Vintage magazine covers also line the guest-room corridors – there are 1,100 pieces of art there – and grace the 374 rooms, which mix cleanlimbed furnishings and green foral designs. Among the rooms are 13 suites, including the Presidential Suite – with its freplace, deep tub and a blowup of silent flm star Rudolph Valentino dancing with a swooning blonde – and the new Residential Suite. Designed for guests who are in it for the long haul while visiting from out of town or remodeling their neighboring home, the suite includes perhaps the ultimate in modern amenities – a GE Profle 2-In-1 Washer/Dryer that dries the clothes immediately after the wash
But perhaps nowhere is the contrast between past and present sharper than in the reimagined atrium lobby, which many area residents will remember for its plant-lined stream and footbridges, all leading to a gazebo bar and Winfeld’s restaurant, where Sunday brunch was a must.
It’s all been replaced by 2,300 individual plants – 800 more than before – a fountain reminiscent of the original one on the grounds 100 years ago and Townsend Bar & Lounge, a sun- and moon-lit space serving craft cocktails, bar bites and shareable plates from late afternoon into the night either at the bar or in the spacious Garden Court, with its ample, intimate seating.
Sitting there, enjoying mini burrata and tomato salads, melting pastrami sandwiches and perfectly dressed cold lobster rolls, courtesy of Townsend, we couldn’t help but remember all the family brunches at Winfeld’s and interviewing tennis legend Billie Jean King and actress Tracee Ellis Ross at lunches for Fairfeld County’s Community Foundation, The Fund for Women and Girls – to say nothing of the Breast Cancer Alliance events in a tent pitched outside to contain two runway shows and 1,000 guests. (The renovated 28,000-square-foot event and meeting space was revealed in 2020.)
But as we took another sip of a virgin gin and tonic – well, tonic with lime – looking at all of the opening’s contented guests sipping, eating and seeing, another thought occurred: Time to make new memories at the Hyatt Regency Greenwich.

New Rochelle, one of U.S.’ ‘best small cities,’ to add green space, upgrade transit, retail
By Georgette Gouvei a / ggouveia@westfairinc.com
A recent WalletHub report ranked New Rochelle as one of the best small cities in the United States. The Sound Shore city placed in the 70th percentile in a survey in which the 99th percentile represented the top 1% of small cities in America. This ranking is a recognition of the work the city is conducting across multiple sectors, including its ongoing downtown development initiative, fast-track zoning process, renter and homeowner support (Section 8, Down Payment Assistance, afordable housing lotteries), increased green spaces and sustainability infrastructure, a spokeswoman said.
The latest initiative is New Rochelle’s Downtown Retail Strategy, marking a signifcant milestone in the city’s evolution as an urban destination for locals, new residents and visitors. The plan, approved by the City Council Oct. 15, includes the creation of New Rochelle’s Vanguard District and a suite of initiatives to transform the city’s downtown into a destination for shopping, dining and entertainment, including public realm and accessibility improvements, retail enhancements and tenant incentives.
The Downtown Retail Strategy is designed to usher in a new era for downtown New Rochelle, pioneering a diverse, vibrant retail ecosystem and building on its historic downtown redevelopment that has brought in more than 10,000 new housing units and attracted $2.2 billion in private investment to the city.
“Retail plays a crucial role in
shaping thriving city environments, and this plan will help to cultivate a city that fourishes economically, socially and culturally,” said New Rochelle Mayor Yadira Ramos-Herbert. “The Downtown Retail Strategy will have a transformative impact on our city, generating bustling streets and enriching community interactions, while creating job opportunities, driving visitation and elevating New Rochelle’s profle as a place to live, work and visit. This is an incredibly exciting time for New Rochelle, and we look forward to our continued work bringing this plan to life.”
The Downtown Retail Strategy features a mix of initiatives in the newly created Vanguard District – encompassing the area bounded by LeCount Place (across the street from New Roc City), Main Street, North Avenue and Huguenot Street – and other areas of the downtown to create a broader pathway for revitalization throughout the city. In response to the needs of the community, the Downtown Retail Strategy includes:
A Tenant Improvement Program that will provide fnancial support for physical improvements and relocation costs to aspiring retail establishments looking to occupy vacant retail spaces throughout the downtown. Structured as a grant program, the $2.25 million fund will have a robust application process while prioritizing opportunities for businesses that will contribute to the vibrancy of downtown New Rochelle.
Streetscape beautifcation and safety improvements, which will embrace
street furniture, parklets, decorative plantings, increased maintenance and cleaning, lighting upgrades, placemaking and wayfnding improvements. The plan also focuses on creating safer pedestrian connections to enrich the experience for both residents and visitors.
Retail enhancements through popups and revitalizing storefronts, while continuing the city’s support of local and new businesses and entrepreneurs.
In addition, modernizing outdated code restrictions in the Vanguard District will remove barriers that previously prohibited bars and experiential businesses, along with relaxed parking requirements, transforming groundfoor spaces. These updates will attract a diverse range of new tenants, from bars and gyms to live music venues, outdoor dining spots, artisan production spaces and more – designed to create a vibrant, dynamic street-level experience.
The Downtown Retail Strategy complements the various developments currently underway in New Rochelle, including the upcoming construction of the LINC project ,which will transform Memorial Highway into a linear park, and the redesign of the New Rochelle Train Station and Intermodal Transit Center.
In September, the city announced an updated timeline for this reimagining of a section of Memorial Highway as open green space, with the groundbreaking in late 2025 and a ribbon-cutting in 2027. The project calls for more than eight acres of green space, nearly a mile of bike lanes, a new 14,000-square-foot plaza with the capacity for a 264-seat amphitheater, increased safety features, updated streetscapes and direct access to new economic opportunities for resi-

dents. The goal is to reconnect New Rochelle’s Lincoln Avenue neighborhood, a once-thriving business corridor that became disenfranchised and marginalized under a Robert Moses-era redevelopment, to the city’s downtown to spur economic activity. Meanwhile the redesigned New Rochelle Transit Center, led by architecture frm FXCollaborative, will allow New Rochelle to become the frst city in Westchester County with direct commuter access to both Grand Central Terminal and Penn Station.
“Our new (retail) strategy will support the wonderful business owners that call New Rochelle home and welcome an array of new businesses to an enlivened and attractive downtown,” said Adam Salgado, commissioner of development. “Locals, visitors and newcomers can look forward to our city’s continued evolution into a diverse cultural hub with a mix of topnotch dining, outstanding local art, entertainment and more.”

Himes: Trumbull med-tech firms get $2.4M in federal funds
TRUMBULL – Two Trumbull-based medical technology companies will receive a total of more than $2.3 million in federal grants, according to U.S. Rep. Jim Himes.
ZetrOZ Systems and Gynion were selected to receive Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grants.
ZetrOZ Systems, a manufacturer of wearable, non-invasive ultrasound-based medical devices, will receive more than $2 million funding to refne its sonophoresis patch, which is designed to treat knee osteoarthritis. Gynion, a women’s health startup that ofers in-ofce therapies for gynecological conditions, is getting more than $360,0 00 SBIR funds to support development of ablative topical gels meant to treat cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and other

conditions tied to the human papillomavirus (HPV).
George K. Lewis, Ph.D., who is ZetrOZ Systems president and CEO, is grateful for the federal money at a time when the company is ramping up its latest biotechnology product.
“We are working with key stakeholders across the healthcare ecosystem to expand broad physician and patient access to our innovative non-invasive and non-opioid sustained acoustic medicine (sam®) biotechnologies to accelerate soft tissue healing and treat chronic joint pain,” Lewis said.
“As part of this active-aging commercialization program, we are increasing our USA-based manufacturing and service partner network, driving clinical education and adoption at regional and national levels, and expanding our clinical portfolio
oferings and soft-tissue indications. By enabling easy access to sam® care and eliminating barriers for patients we will help 100 million Americans live active and healthy lives pain free.”
Oleg Shikhman, founder and CEO of Gynion, believes the SBIR grant further validates his company’s technology as it develops its latest anti-cancer product.
“Gynion is developing several products for Women’s Health, including Clarablex for the prevention of cervical cancer,” Shikhman said. “Clarablex is designed to be as efective as current alternatives, yet a lot easier to use and signifcantly more afordable, removing all existing access barriers to timely care for women in the US and globally.”
Congressman Himes, who represents Trumbull among the many municipalities in the fourth Congres-
sional district, is amazed by the work of both companies.
“The therapeutic research conducted in Southwestern Connecticut is truly amazing,” Himes said. “The treatments ZetrOZ Systems and Gynion are developing are poised to help people sufering worldwide. Whether it be reducing pain from everyday tasks or preventing cervical cancer, these companies’ research initiatives stand to tangibly impact, and potentially save, millions of lives. I am glad the federal government has selected them to receive SBIR grants.”
Part of the Small Business Administration’s “America’s Seed Fund,” SBIR grants are awarded through a competitive application process to companies that are dedicated to scientifc research and technological innovation. SBIR grants help create more than 65,000 jobs in the U.S. every year.
