Trump brand: Campaign victim or survivor? EXPERTS DISAGREE ON BRAND’S FUTURE VALUE BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com

W mental cleanup that would decontaminate City Yard, find a new use for the New Rochelle Armory and connect the streetscape to Echo Bay. The city had already decided in September to move its public works facility to make way for the development. And Twining’s exclusive rights to develop the property, scheduled to expire this month, have been extended to the end of January to give city officials time to evaluate the project. This is not the first proposal for Echo Bay. Forest City Residential received the exclusive development rights in 2007. But after the firm scaled back plans and took on considerable opposition from residents, the city council scuttled the project in 2013. Twining Properties, a New York devel-

hen Donald Trump first announced his intention to seek the presidency in the summer of 2015, he was primarily recognized — and celebrated by some — for the ubiquitous presence and perceived success of the Trump brand, especially in the real estate market. But since he declared his candidacy and set forth on his controversial campaign, the value associated with the Trump brand has been called into question. In the Westchester and Fairfield markets, the Trump name can be found on residential properties in White Plains, New Rochelle, Yorktown and Stamford and at the Trump National Golf Club Westchester in Briarcliff Manor. The brand backlash began to percolate last December when a board member of the Al Madany Islamic Center in Norwalk reacted to the Trump proposal to temporarily prohibit immigration by Muslims by advocating the removal of Trump’s name from the 34-story Trump Parc complex in Stamford. The project’s developer, F.D. Rich, declined to get involved, stating the naming decision for the property should be made by its residents. But the Homeowners Association of Trump Parc Stamford also refused to get involved in the matter. Under the terms of the property devel-

Mrs. Green’s closes Illinois, New Jersey locations; facing supply shortages BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com

rs. Green’s Natural Market is closing three locations and temporarily shutting down another as the company said it is narrowing its focus to smaller stores in the Northeast. At the same time, its remaining Northeast stores are struggling to keep shelves stocked, citing “significant product delivery challenges.” A company spokesperson, however, said the two issues are unrelated. Two of the store closings stem from an attempted expansion into the Chicago market. Irvington-based Natural Markets Food Group, Mrs. Green’s parent company, closed a store in Winnetka, Illinois, on Oct. 16 that opened in January. A second Chicago area location that the company had closed for renovations last year will not reopen. A store in West Windsor, New Jersey, that launched in 2014 will also close. In Connecticut, a New Canaan location is expected to close for six months on Oct.

31, a company representative told the New Canaan Advertiser. Natural Markets Food Group CEO Pat Brown in a press release said, “Mrs. Green’s will continue to focus our resources on the Northeast market and provide our customers with both healthy-living opportunities and the highest-quality local and organic products.” Supply shortages have resulted in signs being posted at entrances to stores in Westchester, Manhattan and Connecticut. At its Rye location, the most recent Mrs. Green’s to open in the county, there were several gaps in aisles, including produce, meats and dairy. A sign apologized for the store’s look and said the location is “currently experiencing significant product delivery challenges and may be missing a product you love.” A company spokesperson said the shortages and store closings are unrelated and that management expects to have the supply problem quickly solved. The company declined to provide details on the cause of the supply challenges. Natural Markets Food Group is owned

by Toronto-based equity firm Catalyst Capital Group Inc. Catalyst also operates the Planet Organic and Richtree Natural Market Canadian grocery chains under the Natural Markets Food Group name. Mrs. Green’s started as a family-owned store in Scarsdale in 1991. In 2007, the company and its 11 stores at the time were bought for $33.7 million by Planet Organic Health Group, then Canada’s largest natural food retailer. Planet Organic filed for bankruptcy in 2010, when Catalyst acquired its assets. Mrs. Green’s, which after the closings now operates 11 locations in Westchester and Fairfield counties and the Manhattan store, has had several stops and starts while fighting for its place in the shadow of Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s and other larger grocery chains that crowd the metro New York market. Mrs. Green's in 2014 announced plans to open 100 stores within a few years. The company changed leadership later that year, appointing Pat Brown as its CEO in October 2014. Brown told Supermarket News two months after his appointment

that he planned to focus any expansion on smaller stores in the Northeast market. The closing of the Illinois store returns Mrs. Green’s focus to the Northeast. Its efforts to gain a foothold in the Chicago region started in 2013 with the launch of a 20,000-square-foot location in the Lincoln Park neighborhood of the city. Natural Markets Food Group invested $4 million in the site and was losing as much as $20,000 per week before closing it for renovations in July 2015, according to the Chicago Tribune. The company no longer plans to reopen at the location. The Winnetka store, about 16 miles north of Chicago, launched in January of this year after an investment of $2.5 million, according to Crain’s Chicago Business. Since 2015, Mrs. Green’s has also closed locations in Hartsdale, Mahopac and Katonah, as well as in Wilton, Connecticut. Natural Markets Food Group rebranded the Mrs. Green’s logo and redesigned store interiors last year for the company’s two newest stores, in Rye and Manhattan’s West Village. Both The Rye and West Village stores opened in fall 2015. Mrs. Green’s still expects to launch a location in 2017 at Saber Real Estate Advisors’ Rivertowns Square mixed-use development in Dobbs Ferry, a company spokesperson confirmed.

ey, did you hear the one about the massage therapist who started a stand-up comedy forum? No kidding. When Lynn Mosher, a Bridgeportbased massage therapist, is not treating a client, she’s producing a biweekly comedy show downtown. “I always thought that I had a gift for healing, but I didn’t know how,” said Mosher, who viewed her twin pursuits as covering the body-mind-spirit trifecta. “I got into massage therapy because I wanted to have a job with a flexible schedule that I could pay my bills. I loved the idea of helping other people. It was a form of giving. I had been a professional actress and massage is a different kind of performance, it is a kind of giving. But as I became a massage therapist, I became more intuitive — I was able to look at a person and understand what was going on with them.” Three years ago, she also took a good look at her own professional situation and realized that her managerial skill set was not being fully utilized. “After working for various spas and other people, I got to the point that I realized I needed to be my own boss,” she said. Mosher took the entrepreneurial plunge by creating Rapha Massage in Fairfield. “‘Rapha’ means ‘to heal’ in Hebrew — I’m a Christian, but I like Hebrew words,” she said, with a laugh. Two years afterward, she moved her practice to the Regus Downtown Bridgeport Center on Lafayette Boulevard, although the facility’s corporate environment and lack of health-related offices initially confused some of her clients. “They literally walked in and then walked out, thinking, ‘This can’t be right, this must be an attorney’s office.’” Mosher intentionally chose to relocate to Bridgeport because of the city’s lack of professional massage therapy offices — in comparison, she counted 15 each in Westport and Fairfield and eight in Stratford. She also chose to stand apart from her competition with her proprietary Rapha Technique approach to healing. “I created the Rapha Technique, which uses hot towels during and through the entire massage,” she said. There is always some form of heat on the body, making it a more healing type of massage. I also use natural shea butter as an oil. I believe in moisturizing rather than greasing people

down. I want to change the game and expand that as a modality in teaching.” Mosher’s initial career goal on the stage never truly evaporated. Last year, she reinvented herself as a stand-up comic in the New England and New York City circuit. After quickly building a network of connections with local comedians, Mosher launched Rapha Comedy Productions as a biweekly showcase of stand-up talent. “There is a scripture in the Bible that says, ‘Laughter does good like a medicine,’” she said, paraphrasing Proverbs 17:22. “That is our tag line. Rapha Comedy is a group consisting of 50 comedians coming in and out of these shows, switching it up and making it different.” Mosher alternates Rapha Comedy between two downtown eateries, Leisha’s Bakeria on Lafayette Circle and Amici Miei Café on Main Street. Mosher admitted that her evening shows have very little competition from other live entertainment downtown. “There is pretty much nothing now,” she said. “There is the Downtown Cabaret and there is Murphy’s Law (a Fairfield Avenue bar that occasionally offers live music). There is no comedy except a show in Stratford. The Bijou had a comedy show that was repetitive — the same players were there every month.” But getting people to come downtown on a weeknight has been a challenge for a long time. Massimo Tabacco, the owner of Amici Miei Café, acknowledged that bringing in an after-work crowd is no mean feat. WCBJ

“It is mostly a lunchtime crowd,” he said about his café’s customer base. “I’ve been here seven years, and little by little it is going upwards for a dinner crowd with more people living downtown. We also get a crowd from the surrounding area — when there are shows at the (Webster Bank) arena, some people come for dinner.” Tabacco said Mosher’s Rapha Comedy (which began at his café in April) has been a work in progress for drawing people downtown, though he remained optimistic about its potential. “Summer is not a great time to do these kinds of shows — people like to be outside,” he said. “It has built up little by little and we’re trying to build it up stronger for the fall and the winter. People come here for her and some of our customers stay and watch the show. She’s very funny and the people she brings are funny — they are a diverse bunch of characters.” Mosher recognized that more word-ofmouth and person-to-person marketing is needed for her comedy shows. “I’ve been doing a lot online, but it is about creating more of a buzz for the people in the downtown buildings — the people that work and live here,” she said, adding that her eventual goal with Rapha Comedy is to expand to a regular Saturday event. And while Rapha Massage and Rapha Comedy exist in different spheres, Mosher said there has been some degree of overlap. “It is nice when people see Rapha Comedy, they turn around and say, ‘Oh, you’re a massage therapist, too!’”

Let state voters decide casino expansion

assachusetts, Rhode Island, and New Jersey will hold statewide referendums this November on whether to expand casino gambling. Connecticut will not. Instead, Connecticut’s top legislative leaders have decided they alone know what’s best for the state and are pushing a proposal to permit the Mashantucket Pequots and Mohegans, owners of Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun, respectively, to jointly open a “convenience” casino in the Hartford area in order to compete with the MGM mega casino being built in Springfield. The proposal would require legalizing off-reservation commercial casino gambling, which would represent a major policy shift for Connecticut and have important implications for the entire state. At a minimum, the issue should be taken out of the hands of Connecticut’s pro-gambling officials and decided by a statewide referendum. This is especially true at a time when casino gambling’s economic value to the state is declining and there is a growing body of research on its negative social effects.

voluntarism, civic participation, family stability and other forms of social capital that are at the heart of a successful community. Advocates are promoting the convenience casino as a way to keep Connecticut residents from going to Massachusetts to gamble and thereby slow the loss of casino revenue and jobs in Connecticut. The casino would clearly keep some Connecticut gamblers from leaving the state to gamble, but it would also expand casino gambling in Connecticut by making it more readily available to over 1 million state residents. Should the proposal be approved, it can also be expected to lead the state’s casino tribes to revive their original proposal to open convenience casinos in Fairfield County. And finally, legalizing commercial casino gambling would open the door to other groups seeking licenses for casinos and other forms of gambling, from the neighborhood video slots parlors popping up in other states to internet and sports betting. The public should have a chance to decide whether the proposed casino is worth it.

“Prices in Manhattan have gone crazy,” Haggerty said. “Prices in the lower Hudson Valley are not flat, but they’re not as crazy as the city.” Headquartered in White Plains, the Hudson Gateway group was formed nearly five years ago in a merger of the Westchester Putnam Association of Realtors, Rockland County Board of Realtors and Orange County Association of Realtors. Haggerty said it has 10,300 members. In an improving economy and resurgent housing market in the region, Hudson Gateway has added more than 1,000 members this year, he said.

he roughly 10,000-member Hudson Gateway Association of Realtors will extend its broker network and eventually its residential listing service from the lower Hudson Valley to Manhattan with the group’s pending merger with the Manhattan Association of Realtors. Hudson Gateway members at their annual meeting on Oct. 17 unanimously approved the merger, which will create a Manhattan chapter of Hudson Gateway as of Jan. 1. Members of the Manhattan association will vote on the proposed merger on Oct. 31, said Hudson Gateway CEO Richard Haggerty. The agreement also calls for the eventual merger of the Hudson Gateway Multiple Listing Service — covering housing markets in Westchester, Putnam, Rockland and Orange counties — with the Manhattan Association of Realtors Multiple Listing Service. That process will begin next year. Tony D’Anzica, president of the Manhattan Realtors group, will represent the new Manhattan chapter on the Hudson Gateway board of directors in 2017. Formed in 2001, the Manhattan Realtors organization is an affiliate of the National Association of Realtors and at its peak numbered more than 600 members, Haggerty said. But in the recession, some brokers dropped their memberships while others’ realty companies went out of business, leaving the Manhattan group with 110 to 120 members today, he said. The Manhattan association is dwarfed by the city’s largest real estate organization, the Real Estate Board of New York, which severed its ties with the National Association of Realtors more than a quarter century ago, Haggerty said. The NAR two years ago implemented core standards required of its state and local associations — addressing financial solvency, technology, consumer outreach, advocacy, code of ethics and Realtor unification — and compliance “has been a challenge for some of the smaller organizations” such as the Manhattan group, he said.

Trump —

paign and are starting to sell similarly to comparable condos,” said Redfin Chief Economist Nela Richardson. “While it’s tempting to blame politics, it’s likely that market conditions have changed, making it harder for uber-luxurious condos to fetch top dollar. The luxury market has been fighting a chill since late last year and even the gold-plated faucets in Trump’s bathrooms can’t overcome a slowdown in demand from wealthy buyers caused by the rocky global markets in 2016.” Still, the Trump brand has created

more headaches than smiles at other North American properties. Residents of the Trump Place buildings on New York’s West Side have started an online petition seeking a name change on the property, while the mayor of Vancouver, British Columbia, asked that the Trump International Hotel be given a new name before its 2017 opening. Last month, Trump Hotels ditched its founder’s surname on a new line of hotels aimed at millennials, which will carry the Scion brand instead. What will happen to the Trump brand after Election Day? Public relations and marketing experts are split as to whether Trump’s presidential campaign has done irreparable damage to the brand. “If he loses, the Trump brand will likely lose a substantial amount of its value,” said Larry Chiagouris, professor of marketing at Pace University’s Lubin School of Business in New York. “Hotel room bookings will drop, golf course memberships will decline and so will related fees. And all of the other ancillary branded products will either drop in price and value or be discontinued. Very importantly, in terms of branding, the value of licensing the brand will probably decline substantially and will not likely return to pre-campaign levels.” Michael J. London, founder and president of Michael J. London & Associates, a public relations firm in Trumbull, predicted that while fewer people may be interested in moving into residential developments bearing the Trump brand, even fewer con-

tractors will be eager to do business with the Trump Organization following charges raised in the campaign that the developer withheld or reduced payments to contractors for their work. “Any contractor that is working on or considering working there will think twice out of fear of not getting paid,” London said. “That will be an issue with a Trump project or even with a tenant in a Trump building.” London added that going forward, it may be “harder for the Trump Organization to develop properties or rent and sell them,” as lenders reconsider the company’s creditworthiness based on issues raised in the campaign. Still, not everyone is convinced that the Trump brand is heading for a fall. “Win or lose, I don’t think it hurts him at all,” said Gregory S. Walsh, owner of Walsh Public Relations in Bridgeport. “His whole platform has been about his brand. If he wins, somebody else will have to run it, and if he loses he can go back to being a businessman. And while bad publicity is never a good thing, the awareness of his brand has been phenomenal.” Ron Magas, president of Magas Media Consultants LLC in Monroe, is not convinced that any of Trump’s campaign rhetoric will make him a post-election pariah if he loses on Nov. 8. “If you didn’t know him before, you certainly know him now,” he said. “Whether you like him or not, people want to be with him.”

offices, a hotel with 100 to 200 rooms and 1,000 parking spaces on the streets and in an underground garage. The buildings are proposed to incorporate solar power, turbines and roofs planted with greenery. A three-acre park, courtyards, a dock at the waterfront and a wrap around esplanade would meld the greenspace with the cityscape. Wide streets and sidewalks would open up views to Echo Bay and make it easy to get around by walking, biking and driving. Company CEO and President Alex Twining told council members that the idea is to create a mix of uses that will give residents, neighbors and tourists a place to live, work, play, shop and dine. He described his project as very different than the Forest City plan. That design was more of a private enclave that privatized the waterfront. His is more like a village that draws people to the waterfront, Twinings said. It’s the difference between a private backyard and a communal front yard. “By

having different uses,” Twining said, “it makes a more vibrant place all hours of the day. You feel safe there. You feel comfortable there.” The armory at 260-270 E. Main St. became a contentious issue with Forest City. It was built around 1931, but has idled and decayed for several years. Veterans and other residents wanted the company to fix it and put it to use. Twining said the grand old building would be restored, though a specific use has not yet been determined. Twining’s PowerPoint presentation looks nothing like today’s site. City Yard was built in 1916, when shorelines were seen as places for industry rather than public amenities. Sprawling garages and repair shops, salt piles and recycling areas and a century of hard use have left an eyesore and an environmental mess. The city is relocating most of its public works operation to 70 Nardozzi Place, near Interstate 95 and Costco, where a company affiliated with Bronx-based Simone

Development Cos. will put up a five-story building. The city council approved a $30 million bond to finance the project. The city has applied for a $720,000 state grant to help pay for demolishing buildings at City Yard and for restoring the shoreline. The grant would assure Twining that the city is a solid partner, the application states, and prepare a “shovel-ready site for development.” When City Yard closes in mid-2018, Twining can begin cleaning up the 6.5-acre site. Last year, the state approved a brownfield tax credit that can be claimed if the work is done by 2019. Removing contaminated soil will create a huge pit that will be used for a parking garage. The developer would begin building streets, sidewalks and utilities in late 2018, according to Twining’s schedule. Buildings will start to rise in early 2020. Pending further approvals, Pratt Landing will be finished by 2021 or 2022.

opment, renaming the property would involve financial penalties. Gov. Dannel P. Malloy demanded a waiver of the penalties, adding Trump should be “ashamed of himself” for his political comments. At the moment, the Trump Parc name remains, while the property’s website lists only two vacancies, both at the penthouse level. Other Trump-branded properties, began to show signs of problems as the campaign progressed. In July, the real estate brokerage Redfin analyzed sales at nine luxury condo developments bearing the Trump brand name, including the 40-story Trump Plaza New Rochelle. Comparing sales from the first half of 2015 prior to Trump’s candidacy announcement with the first half of this year, Redfin found that Trump-branded units had a sale price premium of 6.8 percent compared with similar homes in the first half of 2015, but did not show a sale price premium one year later. Redfin also found that Trump units sold at a premium of 9 percent — or $97 compared with similar units — in the first half of last year, but the brand effect “became insignificant” in the first half of this year. And while Trump-branded condos averaged 10 days on market in 2015, they averaged 19 on market this year. “Trump condos have lost the price advantage they enjoyed before the cam-

oper that has built mixed-use projects from Boston to Washington, D.C., got the development rights in 2014.

Health insurer opens first Connecticut retail stores BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN ktzimmerman@westfairinc.com

onnectiCare has become the first health insurance company to open a retail store in the Nutmeg State. Following the Oct. 14 unveiling of its first location, a 6,000-square-foot standalone building in Manchester in Hartford County, the company plans to open outlets in Bridgeport, Newington and Orange by the end of November, said David Gordon, ConnectiCare’s senior vice president for strategy and product innovation. “The impetus for taking this step came from listening to our customers,” Gordon said. “The key thing that we consistently heard was how they want a choice in how they engage with us. We felt that this was a way of addressing that need.” Historically ConnectiCare and other insurance carriers have primarily worked telephonically, adding mobile apps and other digital offerings as technology allowed. Opening retail stores somewhat flies in the face of general retail trends, with major retailers alone shuttering thousands of stores over the past couple of years. But ConnectiCare outlets are less like department and big-box stores and more like Verizon stores. “This is meant as a way of providing face-to-face interactions with our members and our nonmembers, who feel their relationship with us would work better if we were sitting across a table from each other,” Gordon said. Both individual customers and those who purchased their ConnectiCare policies through their employer are welcome, as are new customer prospects. “The product that they’re buying can be complex and their situation can change” in the current legislative environment, Gordon said. “Our stores will offer a comfortable, confidential environment for them to discuss their questions and concerns. All of our services can be undertaken at our retail centers — everything from helping them understand the plan they purchased to how they can find the right doctor to getting a flu shot.” Customers can also purchase policies at the stores, he said. Manchester was chosen after an independent study looked at the location of ConnectiCare members, traffic and drivetime patterns and general population

figures. “Fourteen percent of our members live within a 30-minute drive time to Manchester,” Gordon said. The flagship Manchester location is staffed by 12 people and includes an area for seminars on Medicare Advantage and other health topics as well as space for yoga and Zumba classes, according Wealth Director Management toTWB Marketing Kimberly Kann. WCBJ “Sometime in the first quarter we’ll also 7.375” w x 7.125” residing h have a nurse/coach there to help 9-29-16 them learn about and manage conditions like diabetes and cardio issues, as well as nutrition and healthy eating,” she said. ConnectiCare staff who were familiar with the company’s products and health care in general trained at the outlet to

learn best retail practices — and were almost immediately attracting inquisitive customers. “This was with no advertising,” Gordon said. “We took that as an early sign that the general public had a real interest in this.” Although Access Health CT, the state health insurance exchange, operates stores in New Haven and New Britain, no other insurer offers such a service in Connecticut. United HealthCare and a number of Blue Cross Blue Shield providers are among those operating retail outlets in New York City, Los Angeles, Florida, Pennsylvania and North Carolina. ConnectiCare’s Bridgeport store, like those that will open in Newington and

Orange, will be a smaller operation than the Manchester flagship, occupying about 1,000 square feet of office space and staffed by two people. Its hours will be from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays. The selection of Bridgeport also was based on proximity to significant numbers of ConnectiCare members, traffic and the like. It will be attached to but have a separate entrance from the CliniSanitas Medical Center at 4551 Main St. ConnectiCare announced a partnership with CliniSanitas in September to offer bilingual facilities for the state’s growing Hispanic population. The insurer declined to disclose construction costs for its new stores.

Luxury housing for seniors planned at Rye office site BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com

nearly empty office building on Old Post Road in Rye could be knocked down and replaced with luxury housing for active seniors, a move that fits with a trend in Westchester County of finding new uses for outdated office properties. The 75,000-square-foot building at 120 Old Post Road is owned by Alfred

Weissman Real Estate LLC. The owner has proposed to develop a 222,000-squarefoot, 135-unit luxury apartment building restricted to residents 55 and older on the 7-acre property. An analysis of the Rye office market, one of three reports by Goman+York Property Advisors LLC included in Weissman’s proposal, noted that the 120 Old Post Road building was configured primarily as an open-plan headquarters building, making it difficult to fill as newer leasing has focused on smaller spaces.

The only tenant at 120 Old Post Road is its owner, which has its headquarters there. It’s not an unusual predicament, as older office buildings on Westchester’s Interstate 287 corridor in Harrison and White Plains, known as the Platinum Mile, have also struggled to attract tenants and some have been converted to new uses, such as fitness centers and luxury apartments. In Rye, the vacancy rate for office buildings is hovering around 20 percent, according to a March 2015 report by Goman+York, which attributed the slow rate in leasing activity in part to a trend of companies using less square footage per worker. Beyond finding use for the building, Jonathan Kraut, an attorney representing Alfred Weissman Real Estate, said the senior housing fills a need in the city. “Active adult housing is an aspect of the market in Rye that doesn’t presently exist,”

said Kraut, a partner at Harfenist Kraut & Perlstein LLP in Purchase. “So this can fill a niche in the marketplace.” This is not the first time the building’s owner has sought a new use for the three-story office building. In 2012, the company wanted to build a hotel on the property, but that plan was withdrawn after it met with backlash in Rye. Built in the 1960s, the property was bought by the Weissman firm for $1.4 million in 1997. It once served as headquarters for Mobius Management Systems Inc. The records management company in 2007 was purchased by Florida-based Allen Systems Group Inc., which closed the Rye office. Kraut declined to disclose the cost of the senior apartment development. The luxury complex will offer concierge services, a fitness center and swimming pool, among other amenities. The attorney said the developer has not yet decided whether a third party will operate the facility. The company is also not yet disclosing potential rent for the planned rental units. However, one report from the realty company’s property adviser estimates the project could “reasonably expect” to charge rents between $2,800 and $3,200 a month for a one-bedroom unit. If offered for sale, the same one-bedroom residence could be priced between $425,000 and $475,000. A November 2014 office market report from Goman+York highlights the difficult climate that office building owners face in Westchester. The company found vacancy rates to be at an all-time high as of the report’s release and noted that companies such as Regeneron Pharmaceuticals and Westmed Medical Group chose to construct office space of their own, “likely the result of obsolete office stock.” The vacancy rates in the county’s older office stock have forced some municipalities to rethink and revise their master plans and zoning restrictions. The Harrison Town Board last month approved a 421-unit luxury apartment building on Corporate Park Drive office-park property owned by Normandy Real Estate Partners. Two vacant or nearly vacant office buildings at 103 and 105 Corporate Park Drive will be demolished to make way for the project, the first apartments to be built in the Platinum Mile corridor. The Rye City Council approved a necessary zoning change and site plan for the Rye senior apartments development last December. The project still needs approvals from the Rye Planning Commission and the city Board of Architectural Review. If approved, Kraut said construction would be completed in about 18 months.

Mount Vernon tax preparer gets prison term BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

ount Vernon tax preparer Samuel Gentle recently was sentenced in federal court to 51 months in prison for filing false tax returns and obstructing the Internal Revenue Service. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York estimated that he had created losses of $734,425 in federal, state and local taxes over a seven-year period. Asking for a shorter prison sentence, Gentle’s attorney argued that the government overstated the tax losses and exaggerated his “badness.” U.S. District Court Judge Cathy Seibel ordered Gentle to pay a $125,000 fine and $295,000 in back taxes and sentenced him to one year of supervision after he is released from prison. The IRS has required several of Gentle’s clients — who underpaid taxes by an estimated $440,527 on 49 tax returns, according to a sentencing memorandum — to

refile and pay taxes and penalties. Gentle, 60, was found guilty of 39 tax violations after a five-day trial in July. He ran GenGen Inc. and GenGen Financial Inc. at 35 Colonial Place in Mount Vernon, where he served many West Indian and Caribbean customers. His scheme, according to the sentencing memo by Assistant U.S. Attorney Jennifer Beidel, was to build his business through word-of-mouth referrals. By claiming fake business expenses and gifts to charity, he reduced customers’ tax liabilities or got them IRS refunds. Several clients testified at trial that they had not incurred the business expenses or given donations to charity and they did not know about the false deductions until told by federal agents. The government also used an undercover IRS agent posing as a client in 2012. Gentle created deductions they had not discussed or documented and the tax return claimed a $574 refund. The preparer also cheated on his own taxes. Gentle collected more than $1 million in fees from 2010 to 2014, according

to an IRS analysis of his bank records, but only reported $584,270, enabling him to avoid $236,000 in taxes. The sentencing memo cited a pattern of preposterous falsehoods during the trial and includes a statement the judge made after the jury returned its verdict. “I am trying to remember if I have ever seen a defendant lie so obviously, so repeatedly and so seemingly without any concern for the consequences,” Seibel said. Beidel wrote that Gentle’s behavior was characterized by greed and a lack of respect for others or for the law. She asked for a significant prison term, 51 to 63 months, to deter others who might seek to cheat the government. Gentle’s attorney from White Plains, Jared Scharf, asked for a lighter sentence of 33 to 41 months. “There is nothing about this case that makes Gentle a suitable candidate for harsher treatment than normal or for withholding lenient treatment,” he said in a sentencing memo. Scharf calculated the total tax loss at $303,896, or 41 percent less than the IRS estimate, and said that amount calls for less prison time under federal sentencing guidelines. He cited a dozen letters from friends, relatives and others that demonstrate a man who is hard-working, altruistic and

devoted to his family. “He is devastated by the impact this case has had on his family,” Scharf wrote. “His feelings of shame, humiliation and fear with respect to his family’s welfare are palpable.” Vanessa Young, president of the Belize Diabetes Association of New York, in a letter to the judge said Gentle has championed the Belizean community and inspired people to help others. Georgia Gillett, an immigration lawyer from Pembroke Pines, Florida, who grew up with Gentle in Belize, cited his support for a charity that feeds and clothes homeless people in their native country. His college-age sons, Dwayne and Deon, wrote that their father’s values are rooted in a passion for helping others. “Love drives him every day,” they said. Earnest Smith Jr., an 11-year-old student in Belize, sent a handwritten note addressed to “Mr. Sam,” thanking him for giving him a nebulizer that alleviates his asthma and enables him to stay in school. “While the defendant’s generosity and good deeds are commendable,” Beidel wrote in her sentencing memo, “they do not rise to the level of extraordinary,” particularly given that his assets were derived from cheating the tax system and harming his clients.

ASK ANDI

BY ANDI GRAY

Being nice does not mean being a doormat I’m not aggressive and I have to get it done. I’m a nice guy, but while I tend to see the best in other people, I know I also get walked on by vendors, customers and sometimes even employees. How do I find the balance? THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: Think about what makes you call yourself a “nice guy.” Hone skills that are synonymous with leadership. Make sure you’re clear about where you want to go with the company. Make asking for input a sign of strength, not weakness. Are you always listening to what people have to say? Is your door always open, with you welcoming people who stop by? Perhaps a little less availability or exclusivity might make you feel more in control. Make a decision and stick with it. Once a decision is made you may be tempted to second-guess yourself — don’t. While good leaders are always considering options and alternatives, they also know that it’s essen-

tial they are out front, leading the way, charting a clear path. While holding people accountable is an essential management skill, it’s also important to seek consensus, show compassion; forgiving mistakes will help everyone be more productive. Managers who think about how decisions will impact others are shown to consistently deliver higher ROI versus self-focused managers. It’s okay to take a stand and tell people you mean it. It’s okay to overrule people, if there’s a good reason for doing so. Hone your ability to coach people around to your point of view, rather than barking out direct orders. Make sure that people don’t miss your point of view, as you try to take in all opinions. Be willing to state what you are trying to accomplish and know when it’s time to cut off the debate. If you feel you’re not as good at speaking, send out a well-written memo to explain your positions. Write out your vision for where the company is headed.

Post it on a wall and refer to it often, especially when questions arise about the direction of things. If you are willing to consider options, be careful how you position that openness. Know when it’s time to make a decision and move on. If you’re starting to hear the same arguments over and over, it’s time to stop the debate and challenge everyone move forward. Letting people wallow too long in discussion without demanding action is a waste of company resources. Tell those around you that you’re looking for input in order to hone ideas. Tell people that it’s your choice to seek input, and that you’re doing so in order to gain insight. Then make it clear that the final decision is yours and when the time is ready, you’ll step up to the plate to make the final call. When it comes to decision-making, think of yourself as the senior umpire in a game. You may ask the other umps in the game for their input; you may go to “roll the tape” to further analyze specifics. But when it comes time to make the call, it’s your decision, no one else’s. Don’t worry if everyone likes your call — someone is always likely to disagree. Keep your eye on those who do object. Do they

do it just sometimes, or all the time? Do they do it to your face, or behind your back? Do they have good reasons for objecting, or are they just complaining to hear themselves talk? If you answered yes to the first half of those questions, you’re probably ok. If you answered “yes” to the second half of those questions, you have a problem on your hands. Take the person aside, they need to get on board and be more supportive, or they need to go find something else to do. Remind them that if push comes to shove, you own the company and will still be there long after others have come and gone. LOOKING FOR A GOOD BOOK?

Ground broken for Cortlandt Crossing SHOPRITE MOVING TO MOHEGAN LAKE SHOPPING CENTER UNDER CONSTRUCTION BY ALEESIA FORNI aforni@westfairinc.com

65,000-square-foot ShopRite will be the anchor store of Cortlandt Crossing Shopping Center, a 130,000-squarefoot commercial retail center to be built along the north side of Route 6 in Mohegan Lake. Acadia Realty Trust, the White Plainsbased developer behind the new shopping center, announced at a groundbreaking ceremony on Oct. 21 that the grocer, the largest retailer-owned supermarket cooperative in

the U.S. with 260 stores, will relocate from its storefront at 2094 Main St. to the complex at 3144 E. Main St. The development includes a 98,000-square-foot main building and three to four standalone buildings totaling approximately 32,000 square feet. The shopping center will feature 10 separate storefronts ranging from 1,000 to 15,000 square feet and 816 parking spaces on 17 of the site’s 32 total acres. Cortlandt Crossing will be adjacent to another Acadia Realty-owned complex, Cortlandt Town Center, home to retailers including Walmart, Marshalls, PetSmart,

dent and chief operating officer of Acadia Realty, “but at least (we had) the intuition to understand what it could mean for the region, including what it could mean to us, a company who develops these kind of things.” The project is expected to bring $1 million in additional tax revenue to the town of Cortlandt, Conlon said. “I’m just really delighted because this new shopping center is going to provide more jobs for our area – we’re always looking for new jobs – in the construction period of it and also once the retail is up and running, so that is really exciting,” Cortlandt Town Supervisor Linda Puglisi said. The development company will also invest $8 million in off-site improvements, including sewer remediation and the installation of a traffic signal at the Baker Street and Route 6 intersection. “That’s going to provide great access for homeowners who live down in the Baker Street area, so they’re delighted,” Puglisi said of the new traffic signal. “We’re very pleased that they’re doing that.” Acadia Realty said additional retailer announcements will be made during the course of the two-year development process. “One thing that made this property extremely attractive to us is that we’re oversubscribed across the street,” Conlon said, adding that “there’s a list of retailers that we can’t put in there, either because their use is restricted by other tenants or we don’t have the physical space.” “It’s a wonderful thing for our community to have businesses expand and open like this, because it brings new residents,” said Deborah Milone, executive director of the Hudson Valley Gateway Chamber of Commerce. “Residents want services and having a center like this along this wonderful corridor is incentive for people moving into our community, and the more people who move in, the more people who can patronize these businesses.”

Passive aggressive TWO DEVELOPERS TOUT NEW ENERGY-SAVING CONCEPT FOR HOMES BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

nergy-saving passive housing, something of a “bubbling under” trend to many, seems to be gathering momentum, including in Fairfield County where a pair of developers are rolling out the concept to both residential and commercial customers. “A passive house is by far the most energy-efficient building in the world,” said Salvatore Zarrella, founder of Construction Management Group (CMG) in New Canaan. “It’s changed the way we put houses together.” “I’ve had a special interest in green building for a long time,” said Mike Trolle, who is the founder and, with his brother Chris, co-owner of BPC Green Builders in Wilton. “Once I learned more about passive housing, I realized that this really is the

future of development and construction.” What has stoked the enthusiasm of the builders — both of whom continue to build nonpassive homes as well — is what CMG partner Michael Block calls “the highness standard of energy-efficient building, (which) requires virtually no energy use for heating or cooling.” The concept, which originated in 1988 as “passivhaus” in Germany, includes continuous insulation throughout the building without any thermal bridging; air-tight construction, which prevents infiltration of outside air and loss of conditioned air while providing better air quality within the building; high-efficiency windows (usually triple-paned) and doors; and an efficient whole-house heat- and moisture-recovery ventilation system. Although the cost of a home certified by the Passive House Institute U.S. can be more than that of a “regular” house, the builders said that upfront costs are mitigated to heating and air conditioning. “Generally, for a 2,500-square-foot passive house, you’re looking at spending about $500 to $800 a year,” Block said. “Most people spend that much per month. And that’s just for heating and cooling.” Electricity, Zarrella said, “You’re basically using the same amount as you would with a hair dryer.”

Trolle, whose own home in Danbury is a passive design, said his annual energy cost is roughly $360 per year. The home’s indoor temperature is set at 70 degrees, he said, and remained steady even when temperatures dropped to minus 12 degrees in winter. Removing the necessity of constantly monitoring and adjusting a home’s temperature is what “passive” is all about, Trolle said. The template is applicable to any size and style of building. “If you Google ‘passive house,’ you’ll see a lot of boxy, European style homes, but it doesn’t have to be that,” Block said, noting that one of CMG’s two passive homes in a North Stamford subdivision is a traditional farmhouse, while the other is done in the modern style. The company is planning two more homes in New Canaan, he said. Work is also ongoing at what will be the world’s tallest building to employ passive housing standards, Block said, referring to Cornell Tech’s 26-story residential building on Roosevelt Island in New York City. Once completed, it will feature 350 units to be used by both students and faculty at the technology-focused campus. Both firms expect passive housing to be a game-changer in the industry. “More and more, people are interested in being on the green side of things,” Trolle said.

“Here you have something that’s durable, that can improve the health of the residents, and is about as energy-efficient as you can get.” His company has completed two homes certified by the Passive House Institute: a colonial in Watertown and Trolle’s own cottage in Danbury, which was the first house in the state to earn the certification. He expects business to expand over the coming years. “The people who find us usually have done a reasonable amount of research,” Trolle said, noting that “green” is in the company’s name. “But while a lot of them are interested in something that’s green, they may not necessarily want to get the PHIUS certification, which can cost several thousand dollars.” “Awareness of passive housing is growing exponentially every year,” Block said. “It’s exploding in Brooklyn,” where a number of brownstones are being retrofitted to the passive standard, “and will quickly start bleeding into the suburbs of New York City and into Fairfield County.” “There’s already a lot of talk among builders about the passive housing standard,” added Zarrella. “It makes a lot of sense, both for the customer and the environment. There’s really no disadvantage to doing it.”

URSTADT BIDDLE PAYS $13.3M FOR STAMFORD MALL GREENWICH-BASED URSTADT BIDDLE PROPERTIES INC. HAS purchased the 27,000-square-foot 970 High Ridge Road Shopping Center in Stamford for $13.3 million. The center, which is 100 percent leased, includes a 6,700-square-foot FedEx office among its tenants, along with franchises of Supercuts and Verizon, and the local independently owned restaurants Luigi’s and Mackenzie’s Sports Bar and Pub. Urstadt Biddle funded its acquisition with available cash. “High Ridge Road in Stamford is one of the most sought-after retail destinations in the state,” said Zach Fox, vice president of acquisitions at Urstadt Biddle Properties. “Historically, this area has had a very low vacancy rate. This will be a strong, lowrisk investment for UBP for years to come. Owners know we can close quickly and quietly, and this turned out to be one of our smoothest transactions to date.”

FAIRFIELD COUNTY HOME PRICES UP, SALES DOWN

THE WORKPLACE RECEIVES $5.1M GRANT FOR SENIOR EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM

THE AVERAGE SALES PRICE FOR residential property in Fairfield County reached $625,875 during the third quarter, a 7.7 percent increase from the $581,263 level reached one year ago, according to data released by Douglas Elliman Real Estate. The median sales price for the county was $407,500 during the third quarter, up 13.2 percent from the $360,000 level reached in the third quarter of 2015. Although prices were up, the number of closed sales were down: 3,321 in the third quarter, a 15.8 percent decline from the 3,944 sales one year earlier. And the number of days that residential prices were on the market also fell: 104, down 5.7 percent from 110 days one year earlier. Among the county’s more expensive submarkets, Greenwich posted the priciest real estate in the third quarter, where single-family homes carried an average sales price of $2.2 million (down 1.5 percent from a year ago) while the median sales price was $1.72 million (down 1.9 percent year-over-year). Condos in Greenwich carried an average sales price of $972,727 (up 30.9 percent from $743,327 a year ago) while the median sales price was $755,000 (up 11 percent from last year’s $680,000 level).

THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR (DOL) has granted $5,123,777 to The WorkPlace to provide job training and employment services statewide through the Senior Community Service Employment Program. The award provides funding through the end of Program Year 2016; following that, DOL expects grantees to receive funding for an additional three years. The program “will expand opportunities for older, low-income adults to achieve economic self-sufficiency,” said Joseph Carbone, president and CEO of Bridgeportbased The WorkPlace. “Our experience serving the long-term unemployed through the nationally recognized Platform to Employment program has prepared us to provide the most promising workforce strategies to help individuals learn the employment skills needed to obtain good jobs and achieve financial stability.” The seniors program is aimed at unemployed, low-income individuals, aged 55 and older, with otherwise poor employment prospects. Participants can also receive employment assistance through the American Job Centers.

BOUTIQUE LAW FIRM LAUNCHES IN STAMFORD A NEW BOUTIQUE LAW FIRM, Vocke Law Group, has opened its office at 2 Stamford Plaza, Suite 1002, 281 Tresser Blvd. in Stamford. The firm, which comprises several former “big law” trial partners and senior

insurance executives with experience addressing various C-suite challenges, was founded by Damon Vocke, former president and global general counsel of General Re Corp. Other partners are Cynthia Bordelon, Ronald Lepinskas, Scott Ostericher and Tomas M. Thompson. Together their focus will be on high-stakes litigation, internal investigations, crisis management and whistleblower complaints for (re)insurance and financial-services companies.

SEMINAR TO FOCUS ON FINANCIAL CONTINGENCIES IF SOMETHING WERE TO HAPPEN to you, would your family and loved ones be prepared to act on your behalf? That is the central question that will be addressed at a seminar titled, “Putting your Financial House in Order.” The free seminar will be held from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 3, at Morgan Stanley, 2000 Westchester Ave., Purchase. Often, people do not take time to discuss or prepare for the financial consequences of emergencies, major life events, illnesses or deaths. The seminar will cover topics such as centralizing important information and communicating plans and intentions to family members and loved ones. The event is aimed at high-income professionals, such as doctors and lawyers, and at people who anticipate they will become high-income earners. Despite high incomes, lawyer Max Gaujean said, some professionals do not have a will, an accountant, an attorney or life insurance. Often, only one person knows the household finances and family members do not want to talk about unpleasant possibilities. “The time to talk is not when things go bad,” Gaujean said. The seminar will feature Gaujean and Gary Sastow of Brown, Gruttadaro, Gaujean, Prato & Sastow, a health care law firm in White Plains, and Mary Gibbons Gardiner, a Morgan Stanley financial planner. Anyone interested in attending should contact Jennifer Piazza at jpiazza@bggplaw.com or 914-949-5300.

CARS DON’T STOP FOR DEALERSHIP DISPUTE CUSTOMERS OF ESTATE MOTORS IN Goldens Bridge need not worry about their cars being delivered, the company’s attorney said in referring to a dispute between the dealership and Mercedes-Benz. Mercedes-Benz USA notified Estate Motors in August that the dealership agreement will be terminated in 90 days,

around Nov. 10. Some customers became nervous after reading an account of the dispute in the Westchester County Business Journal. “They think we’re shutting down tomorrow,” said Nancy Buonanno, whose husband Charles has owned the dealership since 1967. Estate sued Mercedes last month to block the termination, and the lawsuit suspends that action while the case is pending, said company attorney Eric Chase. Even if the dealership ultimately loses its case, Mercedes and Estate would make sure customers get their cars. “There is no possibility at all of any consumer suffering harm from this,” Chase said. “That is the one thing that the dealer and manufacturer agree on.” Mercedes claims in the termination notice that the dealership is poorly maintained and the facilities do not comply with its standards. Estate claims Mercedes violated state and federal laws that are meant to protect dealers from one-sided franchise agreements.

BY NORMAN G. GRILL

Doing business in other states may generate additional taxes

ith the ease and growth of e-commerce as well as the incredible efficiency of many supply chains, companies of all sorts are finding it attractive to do business across state lines. But this could raise tax issues in other states. The resulting liability may substantially threaten profitability. Complicating matters, the rules aren’t the same as they used to be. For many years, business owners had to ask themselves one question when it came to facing taxation in another state: Do we have “nexus?” Essentially, this word indicates a business presence in a given state that’s substantial enough to trigger that state’s tax rules and obligations. Precisely what activates nexus in a given state depends on that state’s chosen criteria. Triggers can vary but common criteria include: • Employing workers in the state; • Owning (or in some cases, leasing) property there; • Marketing your products or services in the state; • Maintaining a substantial amount of inventory there; and • Using a local telephone number. Then again, one generally can’t say that nexus has a hair trigger. A minimal amount of business activity in a given state probably won’t create tax liability there. For example, an HVAC company that makes a few tech calls a year across state lines probably wouldn’t be taxed in that state. Or let’s say you ask a salesperson to travel to another state to establish relationships or gauge interest. As long as he or she doesn’t close any sales and you have no other activity in the state, you likely won’t have nexus. As with many tax issues, the totality of facts and circumstances will determine whether you have nexus in a state. So it’s important to make assumptions either way. New twist For a long time, nexus ruled and was the primary focus of companies considering whether and how they’d be taxed across state lines. But in recent years, there’s been a new twist. Many states have established “market-based sourcing” for determining the tax liability of service companies that operate within their borders. Under this approach, if the benefits of a service occur and will be used in another state, that state will tax the revenue gained from said service. Service revenue generally is defined as revenue from intangible assets — not the sales of tangible personal

property. Thus, in market-based sourcing states, the destination state of a service is the relevant taxation factor rather than the state in which the income-producing activity is performed (also known as the “cost of performance” method). Essentially, these states are looking to claim a percentage of any service revenue arising from residents — customers — within their borders. But there is a tradeoff: Marketbased sourcing states sacrifice some in-state tax revenue because of lower apportionment figures. (Apportionment is a formula-based approach to allocating companies’ taxable revenue.) But these states evidently feel that, even with the loss of some in-state tax revenue, they’ll see a net gain as their pool of taxable sales increases. Not every state has adopted marketbased sourcing. As of this writing, there are 20 states using it. But consider that as of 2008, there was less than half that amount. Marketbased sourcing states span the country geographically and include populous states such as New York, California, and Illinois. Strategic moves If your company is considering operating in another state, you’ll need to consider more than logistics and market viability. The tax impact could be significant and its specifics will vary widely depending on just how the state in question approaches taxation. For starters, strongly consider conducting a nexus study. This is a systematic approach to identifying the out-of-state taxes to which your business activities may expose you. Bear in mind that the results of a nexus study may not be negative. You may find that your company’s overall tax liability is lower in a neighboring state. In such cases, it may be advantageous to create nexus in that state by, say, setting up a small office there. If all goes well, you may be able to allocate some income to that state and lower your tax bill. Naturally, if you’re a service company, you’ll also need to identify whether the state in question is a market-based sourcing location. If it is, learn the state’s particular rules to get a clear picture of the potential tax impact. When the subject of multistate taxation comes up, many businesses understandably focus on whether they’ll be taxed in another state. But another important question to ask is, what kind of taxes are we talking about? There are a variety you could face. Sales and use taxes. This can be a particularly tricky area for certain companies. Sales taxes are imposed on retail transactions involving tangible personal property.

Meanwhile, use tax is imposed on consumers of tangible personal property that’s used, consumed or stored in the state in question. Generally, the two are mutually exclusive. Corporate income taxes. Some states calculate the percentage of a company’s income subject to tax using a three-factor formula involving sales, property and attributable payroll. Other states may use a single-factor formula based on only sales. If your business is structured other than as a corporation, the tax treatment will differ. Franchise taxes. In cases where this applies, it’s important to study the rules

FCBJ

carefully. Typically, a franchise tax isn’t based on income. Rather, it’s generally calculated using a formula involving the net worth of or capital held by the entity. This has been a general discussion and is not intended as advice. Taxation can be complex so it is advisable to consult a qualified professional on tax matters.

Columnist Phil Reisman among fired Journal News writers BY BOB ROZYCKI bobr@westfairinc.com

fter Gannett Co. announced on Oct. 24 that it would cut 2 percent of its workforce nationwide, five employees at The Journal News in White Plains were let go the next day, including longtime award-winning columnist Phil Reisman. Also fired were longtime sports writer Rick Carpiniello and beat writer Chad Jennings, along with investigative reporter Adrienne Sanders and staff writer Jenny Higgons. In an article on lohud.com, the newspaper’s website, it stated that Reisman’s position would not be filled. Over his nearly 40 years with the paper, Reisman won numerous Gannett and Associated Press awards for his columns that often skewered sacred cows as well as for his editing. As the metro editor, he led the paper’s coverage of the crash of TWA Flight 800 off the coast of Long Island in July 1996. The coverage earned him and the team an award from the Deadline Club, the New York City chapter of The Society of Professional Journalists.

Carpiniello covered the New York Rangers for the paper since 1978. He is the author of three books on the team. Executive Editor Traci Bauer was quoted in the online post: “It is a difficult day for the newsroom as we struggle with the realities of transformation. It’s important we stay focused on the journalism and serving the community, even as we grieve the loss of incredibly committed colleagues.” Bauer will become a regional editor for Gannett, overseeing the Poughkeepsie Journal as well as The Journal News. At the Poughkeepsie Journal, seven fulltime employees were let go on Oct. 25, including Executive Editor Stu Shinske. The Poughkeepsie paper did not disclose the names of the other fired employees. In the second quarter, net income for Gannett fell 77 percent to $12.3 million as the company had one-time expenses related to severance and acquisition costs, and advertising revenue came in flat at $409.8 million, according to USAToday. As it makes the cuts, Gannett is reportedly still pursuing the purchase of Tronc, formerly known as Tribune Publishing. It owns the Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune and nine other dailies.

Hudson Valley jobs decline for third straight month BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

he Hudson Valley lost jobs for the third straight month, according to September numbers released by the state Department of Labor. The seven-county region lost 6,500 jobs, or 0.7 percent of nonfarm employment, from August to September. Most of the decline was in the private sector, with 4,500 fewer jobs. The leisure and hospitality subsector lost 6,300 jobs, or 6.5 percent. Government employment was down by 2,000 jobs, or 1.3 percent. The education and health services subsector added 5,500 jobs, or 2.8 percent. In contrast, New York state gained 5,000 jobs. But the state’s 0.1 percent increase lagged the national increase of 0.4 percent for the month. Government work accounted for the positive state and national numbers, increasing by 1.3 percent in New York and 4.7 percent in the U.S. In New York, there were 9,300 more state jobs and 9,200 local government jobs. That was more than enough to offset a

weakening private sector, where New York declined by 0.2 percent in the nation by 0.4 percent. The regional and state employment pictures look brighter on yearly snapshots. From September 2015 to September 2016, the Hudson Valley is up by 1.6 percent and the state is up by 1.3 percent in nonfarm jobs. National job growth is up 1.7 percent. The region added 14,900 jobs for the 12 months. The strongest subsector was education and health services, up by 7,500 jobs. The unemployment rate in New York rose to 5 percent, from 4.8 percent in August, and now matches the national rate. Jobs are counted monthly by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics in a survey of 18,000 New York employers. The monthly estimates are preliminary and could be revised as more data becomes available. The unemployment rate is based on the current population survey and a monthly survey of 3,100 households. The Hudson Valley region includes Columbia, Dutchess, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Ulster and Westchester counties.

Assembly Speaker Outlines 2017 Legislative Outlook

Cardinal Dolan Delivers Inspiring Message

Continuing its commitment to offering informative programs featuring today’s top political leaders, the BCW recently hosted a special presentation by Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie who fielded questions on a wide range of topics of interest to the business community. Among the topics discussed during the program held Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie September 21 in Rye Brook addressing BCW audience were paid family leave, raising the minimum wage, the Scaffold Law, and the state’s tax cap and its impact on local business improvement districts. Heastie gave a candid assessment of the issues legislators face in Albany and talked about what lies ahead for this year’s legislative session. He said he was most proud of the gains made this year toward improving the state’s crumbling infrastructure and the investment in education Heastie defended an increase in the minimum wage, which the BCW and other business groups have opposed, saying that it would ultimately help the state’s economy by reducing poverty. John Ravitz, Executive Vice President and COO of the Business Council, who served as emcee and moderator of the event, said the BCW Political Leadership Series has presented a unique opportunity for its members to have access to Albany’s leaders. “The BCW will continue to fulfill its commitment to bring the leaders of all branches of government to Westchester to meet with the business community,’’ said Ravitz.

Golf Outing a Big Success

From left to right: BCW Executive Vice President and COO John Ravitz, BCW President and CEO Marsha Gordon; County Executive Robert Astorino; Timothy Cardinal Dolan, Archbishop of New York; and BCW Chairman Anthony Justic

More than 700 business and political leaders were on hand for the BCW’s Annual Dinner to hear Timothy Cardinal Dolan deliver an inspiring message about leadership qualities and the role of faith and morals in business.

County Executive Robert Astorino, a protégé of Cardinal Dolan, opened the evening, thanking the Cardinal for his leadership in pressing for the Educational Tax Credit legislation in New York State.

“The three essentials to being a good effective leader are soul, mind and heart,’’ said Cardinal Dolan, who pointed to the three most recent Popes John Paul II, Benedict XVI and Francis as role models for these three qualities. Speaking at the October 6th event, Cardinal Dolan thanked business leaders for their contributions to the community and their charitable works. “We need to be whole people - the soul, the mind, the heart,’’ he said.

BCW President and CEO Marsha Gordon said the Cardinal exemplified the evening’s theme of leadership. “He blends compassion with commitment to make New York a better place for us all to work and live,’’ she added.

Jokingly referring to the packed room as a “two collection crowd,” The Archbishop of New York, interspersed his more serious message with one-liners that kept the audience entertained.

John Ravitz, Vice President and COO of the Business Council of Westchester, who introduced the Cardinal, called him “an undisputed global leader” with a “strong belief in fostering economic development and creating jobs for young people.”

AN ADVERTORIAL SHOWCASE | OCTOBER 31, 2016

SILVERMAN REALTY GROUP: OVER FOUR DECADES OF PERSONAL SERVICE IN THE LATE 1960S, LEON SILVERMAN — a commercial real estate broker specializing in office leasing — decided to secure his financial future by investing in office buildings. He bought his first asset in Queens in 1967 and then moved into Westchester in 1969 after purchasing a building on Mamaroneck Avenue in White Plains. Making a pact to buy at least one building a year, he amassed a portfolio and by 1974 founded Silverman Realty & Associates to manage the properties. Since most of the properties Silverman owned were in Westchester, he opened an office in White Plains in 1980. Leon’s daughters, Bonnie Silverman and Jill Greenspan, joined the company in the 1990s and today lead the company as president and senior vice president, respectively. The multifaceted firm, now known as Silverman Realty Group Inc., owns

and manages more than 60 office, retail and industrial properties throughout New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. It engages in every stage of the development/leasing process, including site selection, initial design, approvals, permits, lease negotiation and management. This year, Silverman Realty Group entered the New Jersey market by purchasing 2 Gatehall Drive in Parsippany, a 404,500-squarefoot office building undergoing a major interior renovation to reposition the space for today’s tenant needs. It also re-leased 155 White Plains Road in Tarrytown with Columbia Doctors as the major tenant, building a supplemental 92-spot parking lot to accommodate the new medical use. Another recent project was knocking down and rebuilding 245 Mamaroneck Ave. in White Plains, now

home to Orange Theory Fitness. Local projects have included revitalizing and rebuilding 24-46 Mamaroneck Ave. in White Plains, a retail building leased to CVS, Beal Bank, T-Mobile, Davis Vision, Blockheads Mexican Food and Ivy Global Test Prep and Educational Consulting. It also rebuilt 90 S. Ridge St. in Rye Brook and reskinned 235/237 Mamaroneck Ave. in White Plains. Other significant holdings include a CVS-anchored shopping center in Southampton, Long Island, and the Redstone Rocket building in Long Island City. Silverman Realty Group is excited to be in the midst of other Westchester County purchases to add to its expanding portfolio and looks forward to announcing the transactions soon. It continues to seek additional commercial properties in the tri-state area, with a spe-

cial focus on underperforming properties or buildings in need of renovation it could turn around. The company is also considering entering the mixed-use development market. What began as a three-person office now comprises more than 20 employees in the Westchester area, many of whom have worked for the company for over two decades. Being a family business makes all the difference — many of its tenants know at least one member of the executive team and avoid the complexities of dealing with a multilevel organization. Silverman Realty Group’s long-tenured employees also mean tenants have a continuity of relationships versus an ever-changing service team. This assures a high level of service and personal interaction, the secret to Silverman Realty Group’s success for more than four decades.

FATHER-SON DUO CELEBRATE FOUR DECADES OF COMMERCIAL LANDSCAPE MANAGEMENT SERVICES EASTERN LAND MANAGEMENT (ELM), the leading commercial landscape management firm in southern Connecticut and the New York metropolitan area, this year celebrates its 40th anniversary. With a love for the outdoors, in 1976, Bruce T. Moore, Sr., set out with a lawnmower and a vision to provide unparalleled, comprehensive commercial landscape services to businesses in Fairfield County. Moore made that vision a reality and ELM expanded its services to landscape, irrigation and snow management services – with a focus on sustainability. Currently, Moore is in the process of passing on the business to his son, Bruce Moore Jr. The younger Moore has helped the business grow and serves as vice president of operations for ELM. “I was involved with business at an early age

and spent my free time by my father’s side,” Moore Jr. said. “I began to develop a passion for landscaping and growing a business. I saw what my father created and that inspired me to continue his vision. I knew this is what I wanted to do even before I entered college.” Moore Sr. would like to see ELM continue for another 40 years and even into another generation. For now, in honor of the 40th anniversary, the business continues to give back to the community by donating landscaping services to the development of the Fairfield County Hospice House (FCHH). “This is synonymous with our legacy of giving back to our community - which has provided us the same opportunity to be successful,” stated Moore.

CARIBBEAN FOOD DELIGHTS CARIBBEAN FOOD DELIGHTS (CFD), is one of the largest Caribbean frozen-food manufacturers and the largest producer of Jamaican-style patties made of beef, chicken and vegetable. From humble beginnings, the company, which began its operations in 1978 on Dyre Avenue in the Bronx, has seen staggering growth over the years. The 103,000-square-foot manufacturing facility, which now sits on a 10-acre property in Tappan, New York, has seen its Jamaican patty output jump significantly from a few hundred per day at the start to 40,000 per hour today– a phenomenal growth that has propelled CFD into first place among Jamaican frozen-food manufacturers globally. Privately owned and operated by Chinese-Jamaican business leader and philanthropist Vincent HoSang and his wife, Jeanette, the company since its inception remains rooted in its motto, “Quality is Our Priority.” Its obsession with quality and safety has earned CFD the coveted Safe Quality Food Institute’s highest achievement award – SQF Level 3. CFD boasts numerous other distinctions, awards

and accolades from prestigious local and international organizations. Although best known for its flagship Jamaican patties, the company also manufactures a line of puff pastries, including a revolutionary hand-held potpie, which has found its way into mainstream markets. Produced under the Sabrina’s Delights brand, these uniquely designed half-moon-shaped, flaky pastry turnovers are filled with chunky delicious meats, vegetables and gravy in the potpie style. Other flavors are: Three Cheese, Chicken Parmesan, Apple Cinnamon, Mango, Guava, Peach Cobbler and Plantain Tarts. Some of CFD’s leading retailers are Sam’s Club, BJ’s, Costco club stores, Price Rite, HEB, Stop N’ Shop, Food Bazaar, Western Beef, Key Food, Winn Dixie, Harris Teeter and Publix Supermarkets and Commissaries worldwide. In association with its philanthropic affiliate, the Vincent HoSang Family Foundation (VHFF), CFD has positively impacted numerous organizations through its corporate responsibility programs in areas of community

empowerment, health, sports and education. Most significantly is its sponsorship of the Team Jamaica Bickle Nutrition and Feeding Program, where the company prepares approximately 6,000 meals for Caribbean athletes participating at the Penn Relays, annually for the last 22 years. Other charities include a chapel to Father Ho Lung’s Missionaries of the Poor; a mobile medical clinic donated to the Organization of International Development (OID); education scholarships to the Lehman College Foundation, the University of the West Indies (UWI) and students attending various institutions; an endowment of the Vincent HoSang Business Venture Program to the University of the West Indies (UWI); People to People, Rockland’s largest food pantry; The Rockland Community Foundation; The Jamaica LINAC Machines Project Initiative, a call to action to assist with the acquisition of two linear accelerator machines for both the Kingston public and the Cornwall regional hospitals in Jamaica and a walkthrough fever sensing unit donated to the

Norman Manley International Airport, among others. With the reputation of producing a better tasting, ﬂakier, mouthwatering Jamaican beef patty, the company is the official sponsor of the annual Caribbean Food Delights World Jamaican Patty Eating Championship. Now in its 15th year, the summer competition boasts generous cash prizes: first place of $10,000, second $5,000, third $2,500 and fourth and fifth prizes of $1000 and $500, respectively. CFD has grown substantially larger in recent years with a staff complement of over 100, it is more focused on its mission to implementing strategic initiatives in distribution– making all its products available and accessible to consumers throughout the United States and Caribbean Diasporas worldwide. CFD does all this while simultaneously remaining resolute in manufacturing products of the best quality and while maintaining safety standards. Caribbean Food Delights is an affiliate of Royal Caribbean Bakery, JerkQ’zine Caribbean Grille and the Vincent HoSang Family Foundation.

INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

Community bankrolls Bedford Playhouse renovation BY ALEESIA FORNI aforni@westfairinc.com

hen John Farr was first introduced to the idea of spearheading a grassroots effort to restore and renovate the Bedford Playhouse, he was certainly enthusiastic, although not entirely optimistic. “I had no expectation that it would actually happen,” Farr said. “But I thought I should try.” First opened in the town in 1947, the former two-screen theater was acquired by New York City-based developer Alchemy Properties in 2013. After the theater’s tenant, Ridgefield-based Bow Tie Cinemas, chose not to renew its lease in January 2015, Alchemy Properties explored the idea of converting the Bedford Playhouse into a retail space. In order to halt those plans, a deal was struck between Alchemy and a group led by Farr. For any negotiations of Farr’s proposed nonprofit playhouse to move forward, the group needed to raise $2.5 million by a March 1, 2015 deadline. Community support poured into the initiative, with more than 850 donors rallying to meet the fundraising goal in just a few months. Today, Bedford Playhouse Inc., a group led by Farr and a board of directors, has raised more than $4.7 million to fund the project, nearing the $5.2 million total necessary to begin construction on the building at 633 Old Post Road. At its completion, the theater will be home to three theater screens showing documentaries, first-run features, art house films and classic movies. A café on the street-level floor will serve prepared foods as well as wine and beer to both the public and moviegoers. The playhouse will also serve as a venue for special events and educational programming. While crowdfunding and locavesting is seen as an alternative means of raising capital, for Farr, the community fundraising strategy was a seemingly obvious way to save a town landmark. Soliciting donations from Bedford residents was “the only thing we could do,”

said the playhouse’s board chairman Sarah Long, adding that it was “a last-ditch effort to save the community.” “It really has been, frankly, having prospect lists and (asking), ‘Who do you know and who do they know? Who else can we talk to?’” Farr said. But it’s not just about building a theater, Farr said. It’s about revitalizing the town. “This is about investing in the community,” he said. “I’ve had very, very senior real estate (professionals) involved in this effort because they say they’re having a hard time, because the perception of young people who might be moving here with their families is that there’s nothing going on in Bedford.” The goal of the renovation project, Farr said, is to make Bedford a destination. “Right now, there’s not a lot to stop for, quite honestly.” Because the capital-raising model that

the playhouse employs is risky, Farr said it is important to “test your way to success.” “We have to see what the market will bear. We know what people say they’re interested in, but will they come?” he asked. To better gauge community interest, the Bedford Playhouse has hosted a variety of cultural events in the community, from film festivals to author series. The group has also solicited the town’s notable residents to assist in its fundraising efforts, including actors Glenn Close and Jeffrey Tambor, comedian Robert Klein and musician Paul Shaffer. “We’re showing people that this is the kind of stuff we’re going to be doing,” Long said. “Now we know what the community will come to.” For the next round of funding, which aims to raise $1.5 million by the theater’s projected opening in fall of 2017, Farr and his colleagues will focus on expanding FCBJ

their pool of donors outside of Bedford. “The opportunity that we have is that most of the money has come from right around here (in Bedford), and now we have the opportunity to extend our reach,” he said. “Basically any community that is going to use this theater actively, we’ve got to get to those folks.” The Bedford Playhouse is not Farr’s first foray into theater rehabilitation. He previously worked to restore the Avon Theater in Stamford into a cinema showcase and cultural hub. “When I went down to look at the Avon in 2003, it was a war zone in downtown Stamford,” he said. “I just went down there six months ago and I was just standing out in front of Bedford Street laughing because there are bars, restaurants, people walking around, and I thought to myself, Avon had a hell of a lot to do with that.” WCBJ

he concept of socially responsible investing may have reached something of a power peak in the 1980s and early 1990s as divestiture efforts by individual and institutional investors were used to break down apartheid practices in South Africa. Today, this investment strategy does not often attract a wide level of attention in either the financial or mainstream media nor has it offered the level of monetary muscle for investors to bring down governments or corporations. But that approach to investments has not disappeared. The US SIF Foundation, a Washington, D.C. organization that promotes sustainable and responsible investment, reported that total assets domiciled in the U.S. and under management that is based on socially responsible investing principles ballooned from $3.74 trillion at the start of 2012 to $6.57 trillion at the start of 2014. That 76 percent spike over two years accounts for more than one out of every six dollars under professional management, according to US SIF. Within Fairfield County, the pursuit of socially responsible investing has pockets of vibrancy. “We see a lot of interest,” said Jess Gaspar, head of asset allocation and research at Commonfund, a private, nonprofit asset management firm in Wilton. “But it is a complicated issue. After all, it is easy to say that I don’t want that business in my portfolio.” Gaspar said that socially responsible investment is not a single pursuit, but actually three different approaches to a similar situation. “First, there is socially responsible investing, where the client pulls things out of the portfolio. Next, there is missionrelated investing — rather than pull things out of the portfolio, the client seeks to put things into the portfolio. And there is an intermediate level called environmental, social, and governance that weighs both values and financial returns. This (latter) is more in keeping with fiduciary responsibility. With this, we can see greatest level of return for the clients, but it can also be hardest to do.” Another Fairfield company offering socially responsible investment — with a

distinctive theological consideration — is Stratford-based Catholic Way Investments. “I specialize in offering portfolio management for active and practicing Catholics in order for them to invest in a manner that is consistent with the Catholic Church doctrines,” said Frank Metrusky, president of Catholic Way Investments and an investment advisory representative of National Planning Corp. “We are actively committed to faith and finance and we work with clients that do not wish to be profiting from companies involved in abortion, contraceptives or embryonic stem cell research.” Financial professionals specializing in this investment strategy stress that their work still is aimed at building their clients’ wealth. “We follow a specific investment methodology in asset class investing,” said Metrusky. “We cannot predict markets on a short-term basis or even an intermediate basis. We look at the financial standpoint investment used to largely fund the overall financial plan of the client. We also take into consideration the clients’ goals and risk tolerance.” Gaspar observed that since the success of the South African divestiture movement, many companies have become more cognizant of the impact that this brand of investing can have on both their bottom lines and their reputations. “More companies are actively engaged in local communities and in their public image,” he said. “They tend to be forward-thinking on the impact of their decisions. And some companies that faced trou-

ble in the past made an effort to change their behavior and be responsive to the concerns of investors.” However, not all financial professionals find socially responsible investing to be a core consideration in their work. “When clients come to me seeking investment advice, they are not asking questions if I’m investing in companies active in defense, energy drilling or tobacco,” said Michael Parry, president of Liberty Wealth Advisors LLC in Stamford and the Fairfield County chapter of the Financial Planning Association. “For the most part of my experience, it has only come up a couple of times.” “I’ve never had anyone bring it up,” said Pasquale “P.J.” Sacchetta, president of CFIG Wealth Management LLC in Stamford and the Fairfield-Westchester chapter of the Society of Financial Service Professionals. “In fact, I bring it up more than my clients or prospective clients do.” Sacchetta added that in an economy where mergers and acquisitions have become a ubiquitous activity, those attempting to pursue socially responsible investing can easily get flummoxed. “Companies are bought by other companies. Cultures are merged. How do we know what culture will win out?” “Socially responsible investment basically sounds good. It is a good idea in and of itself and it is a good goal,” Sacchetta said. “From an investment standpoint, perhaps you can do what Warren Buffett does: take the profits of your investing and be socially responsible with those profits.”

CTNEXT AWARDS GRANTS CTNEXT, THE STATE PROGRAM THAT seeks to build a robust community of entrepreneurs, accelerate startup growth and create jobs throughout Connecticut, has awarded planning grants for its Innovation Places program to 12 communities, including Bridgeport, Danbury, Norwalk and Stamford. The grants, ranging from $24,000 to $50,000, are designed to allow communities to conduct a strategic planning process to better understand the relevant emerging conditions, risks and opportunities they face; to assess the capabilities the community needs; and to plan actions to leverage those capabilities. The next phase of the Innovation Places program is the competitive implementation grant application, which will begin in November. Awardees will be announced in June 2017. Implementation grants will provide communities with a portion of the funding required to implement the master plan they developed as part of the initial grant. The program has earmarked $30 million

over the next five years to augment private and public investments in programs and infrastructure. “This effort will lead to new startup companies, more jobs, and the kind of economic growth we need,” said state Sen. Carlo Leone. He said he met with Stamford officials, business leaders and educators throughout the summer to develop a strategy for encouraging new business growth in the city. “Stamford was the first community in Connecticut to host discussions on how to take advantage of this new innovation economy program.” Leone said his personal involvement with funding entrepreneurship and innovation comes from the hope that such activity will spark new technologies, which in turn will give rise to economic drivers – “the foundation of the future.” “As these innovation hubs grow, the hope is that they produce small companies which in turn producer medium to large companies — the Googles of tomorrow,” Leone said. —Kevin Zimmerman

“A serious threat to your investment objectives? Lack of diversification.”

Investing used to be a whole lot simpler. Traditionally, if stocks were outperforming, bonds were not. Therefore, as long as your portfolio had a healthy mix of each, you’d be poised to prosper. This isn’t necessarily the case anymore, as dealing with finances has grown more complicated in recent years. When the financial crisis hit the U.S., the recessionary effects were felt around the world. Today, the U.S. economy is still recovering, and central banks in Europe and Japan grapple with ways to reinvigorate their economies. The crisis taught us that portfolios composed solely of stocks and bonds (for instance, large caps and government debt) were vulnerable to loss. Having a truly diversified portfolio, with a robust blend of investments across and within different asset classes – including public and private investments – offers the best chance at reaping the highest possible return while managing volatility. So what’s an investor to do? Develop a plan. To get where you want to go, you need a map with clear goals and

a carefully designed route based on proven portfolio construction principles. A plan will also provide ongoing discipline to maintain a steady hand amid volatile markets or asset class bubbles. A DIVERSIFIED PORTFOLIO EARNED
