Elections over, business leaders express optimism about climate going forward

BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

N

otes of optimism are being expressed by business leaders around Fairfield County and Connecticut about what Gov.-elect Ned Lamont’s victory might mean for the state’s future.

Joseph Brennan, president and CEO of the Connecticut Business and Industry Association, said his group had held several meetings with Lamont during the campaign.

“He understands the need for economic growth, and the huge burden he’s facing,” Brennan said.

“He’s going to need help.”

Brennan said the private sector is ready to step up and work with the new administration to reduce the overall cost of government while improving the quality of services. “Lamont has a business background, so he understands the need for economic development and workforce development,” he said.

“The problems we face aren’t going to be solved by a line-item approach or by raising taxes. He certainly understands that, and he seems very open to ideas on how to fix it.”

Brennan and others applauded Lamont’s initial steps at » ELECTIONS

Montefiore Medical Center looks to join Westchester Avenue’s ‘Medical Mile’

BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com

n what could prove to be the latest Platinum Mile shakeup, Simone Development Cos. has filed plans to convert a mostly unused office building at 104 Corporate Park Drive in Harrison to a four-level pediatric ambulatory care facility for Montefiore Medical Center.

The Harrison Planning Board will hear plans from Simone at its Nov. 27 meeting.

The Bronx-based developer would completely renovate and modernize the 118,000-squarefoot building as well as expand its first floor. Montefiore would lease the space from Simone.

The move would add Montefiore to the growing list of big-name health care providers building along Westchester Avenue and the I-287 corridor, known as the Platinum Mile.

Memorial Sloan Kettering, the Hospital for Special Surgery and Westmed Medical Group each have opened new care centers

in the region over just the past half-decade. The center would also have future neighbors in a Wegmans Food Market grocery store and the Carraway apartment building already under construction on the same street.

For the Montefiore project, Simone would completely renovate the building and outfit it with urgent care space; lab facilities; an imaging suite with MRI, CT, radiology and other technology; behavioral health offices; maternal fetal medi» MONTEFIORE

Ask the Investment Banker I got an offer for my business; What do I do now?

WHY A ONE-ON-ONE NEGOTIATION IS ALMOST ALWAYS THE WRONG PATH TO TAKE

H

ere’s how it starts: a buyer approaches an owner and offers to buy the business.

The owner, who has been thinking about selling, is interested, but doesn’t know if the offer is good enough to take. Meanwhile, the buyer starts to put pressure on the owner for an answer. What should the owner do now?

In considering whether to accept the offer, it's helpful to consider the pros and cons.

PROS

• Speed and simplicity.

The buyer is interested, and the dialogue has already begun.

• Con�identiality. An owner may be able to sell the business without alerting the market or the employees about the fact that the business is “on the block.”

• No investment banking fees. You are speaking directly to the potential buyer.

CONS

• May not be completely ready. Because the offer was unsolicited, your company may not show as well.

• A single, direct negotiation. This is unlikely to attract the highest value for the owner’s business.

THE BETTER COURSE

If the owner wants fair value for the business, negotiating with only one potential buyer is almost always the wrong path to take. The best way to get higher value for a company is to create a compet-

itive bidding environment.

As investment bankers, we have a vested interest in convincing business owners to conduct a competitive auction. However, a business owner typically realizes transaction proceeds 10 percent to 100 percent higher in a competitive process vs. a single directed conversation, with the majority ranging from 15 percent to 40 percent higher. An independent study based on a sample of 3,281 transactions determined that the median improvement in value for a private company hiring an M&A adviser is 24.6 percent.

Because the buyer in a one-on-one negotiation knows there are no other bidders, that party has a lower incentive to compromise, even if a good relationship exists between the owner and the buyer. That is why buyers all want deals that no one else knows about. When private equity firms pitch investors, they commonly boast of this “proprietary deal flow” because it implies a higher potential return on investment.

Even if the offer seems like a fair value at the start of the process, a solo buyer typically takes a harder stance on critical elements of the negotiation such as how much of the purchase price will be in up-front cash, the terms of any earn-out or how to treat working capital.

COMMUNICATING TO THE BUYER

Usually we convince the owner to create a competitive bidding process. It’s critical to communicate diplomatically with the original bidder who remains a very likely buyer. The goal is for the owners to express appre-

There is no need at this time to indicate that they have initiated a competitive auction.

The buyer may accept this explanation patiently or they may pressure the owner to proceed now, imposing a time limit. Otherwise, they will go out and look for another target.

While not a sure thing, we usually find that if a buyer is interested now they will be interested in a few months. Furthermore, a threat — either veiled or open — is not a good omen for either the negotiation or the relationship after the deal closes.

STARTING THE AUCTION PROCESS

The first step is to engage an investment banker. There

One of the most important steps is identifying weaknesses. In the same way that a seller repairs a house before putting it on the market, the owner should address potential flaws prior to showing the company to potential buyers.

are many capable and qualified boutique firms operating throughout the country.

There are three critical questions an owner should ask: • Is the investment banking firm registered with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA)?

• Is its primary focus M&A advisory work, rather than work which they do “on the side?”

• Does the banker have a good reputation with advisors whom the owner trusts: the attorney, commercial banker, accountant or wealth management professional?

The investment banker will start off by estimating a market value, which may differ significantly from the original offer. Then the banker will position the company, identifying key investment rationale for financial buyers, such as

The investment banker will then prepare marketing materials for the company and identify a list of potential buyers, including the initial bidder. The owner then re-engages directly, explaining that, because of the obligation the owners owe to their families, employees and other shareholders, they have hired an investment banker to run a competitive process and get the best value for the compa-

ny. Once the dialogue is re-started, the banker takes over and integrates the original buyer into the auction process with all of the other potential bidders.

Turning away a buyer who is ready to open the checkbook is difficult intellectually and emotionally.

But sellers usually come out significantly ahead when they run a competitive process. By managing a well-run process, an investment banker generates a significantly higher value for business owners looking for an exit.

6 strategies to reach more people on Instagram

nstagram users “like” 4.2 billion posts every 24 hours. One billion people use Instagram with 500 million of them using the platform on a daily basis. Businesses can benefit from posting compelling content on Instagram, considering that 72 percent of its users have bought a product that they saw on the platform. If you’re looking to reach more potential customers, you can benefit from adding this outlet into your digital marketing plan. Here are six strategies to reach more people on Instagram:

UTILIZE A LIVE VIDEO REGULARLY

Like many social networks, Instagram rewards the users who perform live videos with greater reach. The networks usually give content creators

more reach the longer their live video is. Announce your live videos in advance and work to build anticipation for them by informing your online and offline communities.

USE HASHTAGS TO GET FOUND MORE ON THE PLATFORM’S SEARCH ENGINE

The reason that hashtags can help you reach more people is that users search for hashtags related to a topic that interests them. For example, if you’re a parenting coach, you can produce a video or image providing parenting advice, using #ParentingAdvice in your message. That way, if someone searches for #ParentingAdvice, they may find your post related to a topic they were interested in enough to search for.

ALWAYS POST INSTAGRAM STORIES

Stories continue to serve as an engaging format for images and videos. There is an element of scarcity connected to stories since they expire after 24 hours. They format to fit the way most people hold their mobile devices: vertically. Four-hundred million people use Instagram Stories each day. You can produce engaging Stories straight from your mobile device.

ENGAGE WITH OTHER USERS’ CONTENT

Liking and commenting on other users’ images and videos can be an effective way to draw attention to your account. Many Instagram users check who likes their posts to keep tabs on who engages with their messages.

If you consistently like pictures or videos based on a specific topic, the people posting the images or videos that you are liking may decide to look at your account. You can also comment on other people’s images or videos.

After all, which gets more of your attention: when someone likes your post or when someone leaves a comment on your post? The comment gathers more attention.

CREATE AN INSTAGRAM AD CAMPAIGN

There are excellent targeting tools available on Instagram. You can reach groups of people based on their age, location and interests. You can also perform some advanced targeting by reaching the people who have visited your website, engaged

with your previous ads or have watched a percentage of your videos. Additionally, you can test different groups of people against each other to determine which audience is engaging the most with your information.

HOLD AN INSTAGRAM GIVEAWAY

This strategy is an excellent way to introduce new people to your business and spotlight the person who wins your giveaway. To enter into a random drawing to win a prize, you can ask users to like a post of yours, tag their friends and follow you on Instagram. For the people who perform those actions, randomly pick one to win your prize. If you’re holding a book launch, you can give away a signed copy

of your new book. If you’re looking to move an item out of inventory, you can have it serve as the incentive to enter the giveaway. You can either mail the prize to the winner or get them to visit your physical location for a photo opp and winner announcement video.

More than 12 percent of the planet uses Instagram. You can reach almost any type of person on the platform given its targeting options. With the above strategies in mind, go use Instagram to grow your business.

From the outside, it is a nondescript white industrial building with a somewhat incongruous crimson front door and a

But once inside, the building is anything but nondescript.

What was this building before its current incarnation?

“It was built originally in the turn of the last century as a locomobile factory.”

OK, my ignorance is showing — what’s a locomobile?

“That was the precursor to the car, and they used to build the chassis of them here and assemble the vehicle in other places. So, we have a freight elevator that’s big enough for a car. During World War II, the space was used to manufacture artillery shells — the outsides, not the insides. And then it was an aerosol can factory for a long time — again, the outsides, not the insides. And now it’s us. We’ve been in this building for

seven years.”

What does NEST stand for?

“It did stand for something at one point with the original members — it stood for Northeast Space Time. But over the last seven years it morphed into the idea of an incubator and a nurturing creative environment.”

How many artists are here and what is the leasing within the space?

“We have 30 studios with 34 artists.

Everybody signs a one-year lease for the studios. There is an application on our website, and we have a selection committee for people to meet with. Because it’s a community, it’s not like renting an office — we need to make sure the person is happy being with us and that we’re happy with the person.”

What are the studio sizes and rents?

“The range is from just under 100 square feet to just over 750 square feet. The smaller studios start at $200 to $250 (per month), plus utilities and insurance, and go up to $650 to $700 plus utilities and insurance, which is very fair and comparable to what Bridgeport can stand.

The front part of the building was the original offices for the factory, which is why the studios there are smaller and have the glass doors. We

built out the whole back of the building.”

And what is the turnover rate here?

“For the big studios, almost zero. The smaller studios, we might have four or five a year. There’s not a huge amount. We advertise when we know space is coming available. But because it’s about the fit, it’s not a first come, first serve. We do maintain a waiting list. If we had more big studios, we’d rent more big studios — because that’s what more people are looking for, bigger space.”

And who are the artists here?

“The artists range in age from just out of art school to 83, so we have a broad range of artists. We have painters and sculptors and printmakers and musicians.

We have six musicians in the building — one of them has a recording studio that he rents out and the rest use the practice spaces for themselves.”

I see that you also have a gift shop.

“That acts as an opportunity for selling, and it also gives the artists an opportunity to learn about retail sales and merchandising and pricing and creating reproductions.”

So, can anyone just come in here and look around, like in an art gallery?

“Everybody is working, so we have special days when we’re open to the public. The artists are renting space so they can work, not so they can entertain. We do six to seven open studio events a year. We do the Bridgeport Art Trail, which is always the second weekend in November, and we got about 1,000 people through the building.”

What is the state of Bridgeport’s art scene?

“It’s really happening and heating up. There are about 250 working artists in Bridgeport, and we’ve reached the point that people are being attracted to Bridgeport because there’s a lot going on. It builds and it builds and it builds until it is like, ‘Ah, that’s the place to be, like Brooklyn or SoHo or Chelsea.’ Bridgeport is getting that reputation to be as a place for art because it’s not terribly expensive yet. And there are also opportunities to live here as well, which is always good.

We’ve done artists’ networking parties here where we have 200 to 250 artists show up and network together. And we do all sorts of collaboration. We did workshops on how to use social media to market yourself and monetize different parts of your career.”

That sense of professional community support sounds very impressive.

“One of the things we offer artists is we do a lot of peer networking and peerto-peer support. If somebody knows a lot about Instagram, they’ll share that with other people. If somebody knows sources for materials and supplies, that gets shared. Somebody will poke their

head out of the studio and say, ‘I’m going to the art supply store downtown, does anybody need anything?’ So, we are a hive — we go to each other’s opening. It’s a pretty neat situation.

“We’ve also hosted the Bridgeport Generation Now group when they held a Civics 101 conference here, so there were a lot of people from the ACLU and city government and people who wanted to be civically engaged who came to this two-day conference. We like to have events here.

We have a space for rent — either for the civic minded or fine arts minded. We have concerts here all of the time and we have a TWB Branch Managers ballroom dance group that meets here. We WCBJ also held yoga classes.”

7.375” w x 7.125” h 8-16-18 You mentioned opportunities to live in the area. Does NEST play a role in that?

“One of the things we’re doing is trying to advocate with the city itself.

For example, this neighborhood was not a great neighborhood when the NEST

moved in. There was a lot of crime, prostitution and all sorts of things going on.

Once we were here and it became an active area, the crime moved away.

“What typically happens in arts communities is that the artists move into an area that’s typically not desirable because you can get a big building inexpensively. After you move in, people start to see how cool it is and what its potential is. And eventually, whoever owns the building wants more money for it because you’ve shown what its potential could be — and the neighbors get upset because a lot of businesses move in and people get priced out.

“Because we’re not at that point in Bridgeport — we’re just at the point where the artists are moving in — we’re working with the city to find a way to prevent or slow down that type of gentrification so that the artists can stay in the cool buildings and the neighbors don’t get pushed out when things start lifting up.”

cine; sports medicine; and a children’s evaluation and rehabilitation center. The plans are detailed in a cover letter project attorney Seth Mandelbaum wrote to the Planning Board.

Montefiore is also in discussions with White Plains Hospital, which is a member of the Montefiore network, to provide oncology services on the first floor of the building. The proposal from Simone calls for a 4,850-square-foot addition on the first floor of the property that would house a linear accelerator for cancer care. The other piece of proposed construction is a three-level, 85,662-squarefoot parking garage with 200 new spaces. The garage would be built over existing surface parking space. The site would have a total of 495 parking spaces.

building a consensus by announcing on Nov. 15 a group of transition advisers notable for its diversity.

“I wanted it to be a group with different expertises so we really do have a chance to bring the best and the brightest,” Lamont, a Greenwich resident, said. “So this is folks with experience in state government and folks with a lot of experience outside of state government, including notfor-profits and the private sector. We have Republicans and Democrats, and it’s a group from all over the state.”

Those picked for the steering committee include such Democrats as South Windsor Mayor Saud Anwar; West Hartford Deputy Mayor Beth Kerrigan; State Rep. Chris Rosario of Bridgeport; and Hartford City Council President Glendowlyn Thames, as well as such Republicans as New Britain Mayor Erin Stewart and Eversource Executive Vice President and General Counsel Greg Butler, who

purchased for $7 million in 2012 by Histogenetics, the Ossining-based biotech firm. Histogenetics also bought 102 Corporate Park Drive, a building formerly home to Nokia, that same year for $12 million. The company announced plans at the time for a research center along the corridor, but they have yet to come to fruition. Simone is finalizing a deal to purchase the 104 building.

Reached for comment, a Montefiore spokesperson said the company looks forward “to sharing more about this plan pending required town review board meetings.” Guy Leibler, president of Simone Healthcare Development, similarly said the company is holding off on discussing the details of the project until it can first be presented to the town’s Planning Board when reached by the Business Journal Nov. 20.

But he described how the changing nature of the

town’s I-287 corridor made the area attractive for both Simone and Montefiore.

The region’s shift from the Platinum Mile — a home to corporate headquarters — to a “Medical Mile” was jump-started, he noted, by a different Simone project.

In 2015, the company built an 85,000-square-foot medical office building for Westmed at the company’s Purchase Professional Park that was the first new office construction in the area for decades.

A year before that, Memorial Sloan Kettering spent $128.8 million to convert a former Verizon research building at 500 Westchester Ave. to an outpatient cancer facility. In 2017, Hospital for Special Surgery opened its first Westchester outpatient center across I-287 in White Plains, inside RPW Group’s 1133 Westchester Ave. office complex.

The area’s easy access to I-287, the Hutchinson River Parkway, I-684 and I-95 far-

ther east makes it a natural draw for health care providers, Leibler said.

“You have the most amazing transportation network really in the whole county, which serves a solid population,” Leibler said. “At Simone Development, we believe real estate is about population and transportation, and so you just look at what you have at Corporate Park Drive.”

The growth along Harrison’s side of I-287 has been helped by a shift in the town’s philosophy. In 2013, Harrison adopted a new master plan that stressed the need to allow a wider range of uses along the Platinum Mile. The area’s major corporate anchors were downsizing or leaving town, shrinking the town’s tax base.

The town’s shift in thinking hasn’t only attracted medical developers, however, as the rest of Corporate Park Drive attests. Across the street from 104 Corporate

Park Drive, national developer Toll Brothers is building 421 apartments, marketed as The Carraway, on the site where two office buildings once stood.

Next door to the proposed ambulatory care center, construction crews are laying the groundwork for Westchester County’s first Wegmans grocery location. The 120,000-squarefoot store will rise on the former site of three other office buildings: 106, 108 and 110 Corporate Park Drive. And just a half-mile from there, Life Time fitness operates a popular 200,000-square-foot mega gym where Gannett Co., publisher of The Journal News, once had offices and a printing plant.

“All of these things are creating a real hub, as the town has recognized the opportunity for mixed-use and finding a way to revitalize this section of the town,” Leibler said.

So fast is the town’s

corridor changing that the Simone proposal is actually one of two major redevelopment plans the Harrison Planning Board will hear at its November meeting.

One street farther west off Westchester Avenue, on Westchester Park Drive, Boston-based developer Marcus Partners will present a proposal to knock down the empty 3 Westchester Park Drive office building to build two new apartment buildings. The buildings would host 450 apartments and 731 parking spaces.

Marcus Partners purchased the 160,000-squarefoot office building at auction earlier this year for $10.97 million. The building’s lone remaining tenant, Business Journal publisher Westfair Communications, Inc., vacated earlier this month.

The projects require environmental reviews, special permits and site plan approvals before moving forward with any construction.

considered a run for governor this year.

Others on the committee are Lisa Tepper Bates, a consultant to nonprofits ; Keith Brothers, business manager with the CT Laborers’ District Council; Larry Fox, a former union leader; Rabbi Daniel Ginsburg; Jan Hochadel, president of the American Federation of Teachers Connecticut; Karen Jarmoc, CEO of the Connecticut Coalition Against Domestic Violence; attorney Bob Martino; Tom McCarthy, New Haven’s director of labor relations; Connecticut Department of Banking Commissioner Jorge Perez; Chase Rogers, former chief justice of the state Supreme Court; David Salinas, a technology entrepreneur; Elease Wright, former chief human resources officer at Aetna; Stan Twardy, the former U.S. attorney for Connecticut; and J. Paul Vance, chief spokesperson for the Connecticut State Police.

“It’s not exactly a team of rivals,” said Fran Pastore, CEO and founder

of the Connecticut Women’s Business Development Council in Stamford, referring to the 2005 best-seller about Abraham Lincoln appointing various political rivals to his cabinet upon winning the presidency. “But by including Republicans and all of these diverse perspectives indicates that he’s open to different views before making major decisions. It’s important to have all perspectives at the table.”

Although data on how many women voted for Lamont and how many for Republican gubernatorial candidate Bob Stefanowski were not available, the last Sacred Heart University poll prior to the election showed Lamont leading in the category by a 40.8-34.8 percent margin. “His wife (venture capitalist Ann Huntress) is a very strong advocate for women,” Pastore noted, “and he’s been talking about the inclusion of women in many different places within his administration.

“We’ll see how that mani-

fests itself,” Pastore continued.

Brennan similarly expressed hope that such Lamont pronouncements as “I’m going to do everything I can to be a champion for small business, big business” proves true.

Joe McGee, vice president, public policy and programs at The Business Council of Fairfield County in Stamford, said he and his group were looking forward to progress being made on a number of fronts, now that the days of two-term Gov. Dannel Malloy are winding down.

Given all the discontent with Malloy’s performance, “The Republicans should have elected a governor,” McGee said. “That they didn’t is really quite striking. The Connecticut Republican party has got to reassess their approach to the electorate.”

McGee said he was particularly taken by the fact that incumbent Republican State Sen. L. Scott Frantz had lost his position representing the 36th state senate district after five terms. Democrat Alexandra Bergstein will be

the first Democrat to hold the seat, which covers all of Greenwich as well as parts of Stamford and New Canaan, since 1930.

“Stefanowski won Greenwich by less than 2,000 votes — practically any Republican won at least a 6,000-vote plurality there in the past,” McGee said.

“Fairfield, Westport — those are towns that have always tended to vote Republican. But they didn’t give Stefanowski the cushion he needed, particularly Greenwich.”

In addition to Frantz, the defeat of another long-popular county Republican, State Sen. Toni Boucher, representing the 26th district, which includes Westport, Wilton, Ridgefield and Redding, as well as parts of Bethel, New Canaan and Weston, by 22-year-old Democrat Will Haskell “should send a powerful message to Republicans in Fairfield County,” McGee said.

That seat had been held by a Republican since 1973.

McGee opined that voters’ overwhelming approval of an amendment to the

state Constitution guaranteeing that funds be held in a metaphorical “lockbox” for the Special Transportation Fund, to be used exclusively for transportation projects, “proves that Republicans have been on the wrong side of the transportation issue. They’ve been grumbling about the lockbox and denying the fact that we need to reinvest in our rail and highway systems. But the public gets it. The voting public is ahead of the politicians in a lot of ways.”

Brennan also approved the lockbox vote. “The electorate understood that those dollars should go to transportation, and not be used for other things, as they have in the past,” he said.

Brennan said the time has come for Connecticut to commit to “creating a globally competitive business environment. Whether it’s a global company or a single entrepreneur, we need to help them choose Connecticut as the place to grow and create jobs.

That’s what resonates with the general public and with most legislators.”

Fiona Eckersley coaches divorced women to find their inner fabulosity

BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com

F

or many women, the aftermath of a divorce creates a sense of vulnerability that is not easy to heal. And that’s where Fiona Eckersley comes in.

“On the outside, they look really confident and strong,” said Eckersley, who runs a confidence coaching service called Find Your Fabulous with Fiona out of her home in Fairfield. “But what they show on the outside is not necessarily the way they feel on the inside, and that’s the conflict. Which is why they have such a hard time understanding, ‘Why did this hit me so hard? Why can’t I move on? Why am I still looking back to what happened?’ ” Eckersley came to confidence coaching three years ago during a midlife career switch after a friend recommended that she pursue health coaching. But she soon realized that her potential clients needed something that went beyond a generic wellness focus.

“I transitioned from health coaching to working with women to change all aspects of their life — not just eating correctly, but finding out who they are and what their voice is,” she continued. “It’s amazing how many women get to be 40 or 50 years old and they just feel lost. Many of them have been married 20 or 30 years and a lot of them have careers, but they feel like they spent all of this time looking after other people and suddenly they realize that they don’t know what it is they like or they want.”

In the course of her work, Eckersley noticed that the divorce itself is usually not the main issue that baffles or hampers her clients, who suddenly find themselves too deep in introspective second-guessing. “It’s everything that starts before the divorce,” she added. “They ask themselves, ‘Why did they marry that guy in the first place?’ — and the divorce brings it to a head.”

The Find Your Fabulous with Fiona service runs the course of 12 sessions, each lasting 50 minutes per week. Eckersley’s client base is national and her consulting is done via telephone or Zoom web conferencing.

Eckersley, who went through a divorce after a 17-year marriage, works to understand why her clients have not been able to transition to a new life chapter. “The main thing is what I call curing the divorce hangover, which is getting a handle on the emotions and not having the emotions controlling you,” she explained.

“Because they are never going to go away — it’s always going to be there, but it’s not going to trigger them anymore. I am trying to get them to achieve forgiveness of self and releasing anger of self. Once they’ve got that, they start to figure out passions and who they are.”

Eckersley’s clients are given assignments.

“I call it action sets, but it’s really homework,” she laughs, that can range from maintaining positive-focused journal entries to creating a

new résumé to building a business plan for possible entrepreneurial endeavors to setting time aside each day for meditation. She views these as “little action steps to move them on to the next level.”

Client reaction varies per woman, Eckersley added, with some clients rapidly responding to her work. “You can tell from their tone of voice after a couple of weeks that there is a big difference from when they started,” she said.

As with any start-up, Eckersley’s business hit a few challenges. “I tried getting a group program together, but I realized that I do different things with every woman,” she admitted, adding that she wanted to build a more visible regional presence and hoped to produce local events to be co-hosted with business and wellness experts. One area

where she did not feel comfortable exploring was confidence coaching with men who had problems emerging from divorce.

“The men obviously have the same issues, but I think men process things differently and it would make more sense if they worked with someone who knows how they are exactly feeling,” she said. “I don’t think I would know how a man is exactly feeling.”

As for looking back on her previous career in the classroom, Eckersley noted that confidence coaching for adults can require more work.

“Children want to learn a lot, but some adults are very resistant,” she stated. “You can’t change somebody until they want to be changed. You can’t help somebody that doesn’t want to be helped.”

ASK ANDI | Andi Gray

Rough service month IT LOOKS TO BE A ROUGH MONTH FOR SERVICE, WHICH WE COUNT ON FOR MAKING OUR NUMBERS. LOOKS LIKE WE’RE NOT EVEN CLOSE TO WHAT WE NEED TO BILL OUT. WEATHER CAUSED SOME INTERRUPTIONS. HOLIDAYS DON’T HELP. AND A LOT OF FOLKS HAVE BEEN OUT SICK. IF WE’RE DOWN 3 TO 4 PEOPLE PER DAY MULTIPLIED BY 5 TO 7 DAYS EACH, BETWEEN HOLIDAYS, VACATION, SICK DAYS AND BAD WEATHER, WE LOSE OVER 25 PERCENT OF OUR SERVICE STAFF. SUGGESTIONS? THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: Knowing your numbers and what you have to do to hit your goal is a real start to solving the problem. Over deliver is one way to reach your goals. Look into temporary services to fill in and free up your people to do more of the technical work. Develop some shortcuts to get people out on the road to jobs sooner and keep people out in the field longer. Use overtime if you have to.

Calculate the number of workdays per month, not including holidays. Count up the number of people working on an average day and multiply workdays by the number of people. Deduct a typical number of vacation and sick days based on historical records. Multiply by the number of on-the-job hours per shift, not including

breaks and travel time. That’s how you get to likely monthly work hours.

Estimate the typical number of hours per job. If it’s a big range, figure out how many small, medium and large jobs you do and figure out the median number. Divide available hours by average or median job hours per month, and that’s how many jobs you’ll be able to get through in a given month. Compare that to the typical number of service calls your company handles each month to see if you can handle the typical workload.

Assume that some things will go wrong out in the field — whether it’s a truck breaking down, a piece of equipment or supplies that aren’t on the job or anything else that can disrupt the workflow. If your plan is to

get to 10 jobs per day, plan on getting to 8 and be thrilled if you hit 10.

Calculate whether or not you can hit your numbers if each person hits their minimum daily goal for service calls. If the numbers work out, keep going. If they don’t deliver enough revenue, figure out whether you have to increase prices, add more service techs or add clients needing service calls.

Set a minimum daily and weekly goal per person for service calls that adds up to hitting your monthly revenue goal for service.

Publish that number and hold each person accountable for meeting or exceeding that goal on a weekly and monthly basis.

Consider bringing in temps to help out, whether in the office or in the field.

Add people to jobs requiring the least amount of skill and training. Free your people up to get more work done because they have helpers.

Pack up equipment at night, drive equipment to job sites ahead of time, have people go straight to job sites, plan out routes for travel efficiency and track where people are via GPS. All of these actions can help insure your

.

teams are maximizing their billable hours.

If you need less than 20 hours of overtime to hit your numbers, it’s probably more profitable to pay for overtime than to hire an additional person. Your people will probably appreciate the opportunity for some extra pay. And when you don’t need the overtime, you don’t have an extra person on the payroll to worry about.

Convicted White Plains bankruptcy schemer accused of more dubious filings

BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

W

ithin months of a judge putting Armando Pons on supervised release for bilking the government of nearly $1 million in a bankruptcy scheme, the White Plains businessman allegedly went back to filing dubious bankruptcy petitions.

“No playing games,” U.S. District Judge Cathy Seibel ordered Pons in March 2016.

“And you need to make sure that you fully comply with the law because the last thing you want is to get dragged back in front of me after this long history because you’re not going to your mental-health treatment or you’re not being honest with probation or you’re violating some other condition of release.”

Nine months later, after a 4 1/2-year hiatus while dealing with the criminal charges, he allegedly resumed filing questionable bankruptcy petitions.

U.S. Trustee William K. Harrington sued Pons in federal bankruptcy court in White Plains, accusing him of abuse of the bankruptcy process. The lawsuit also names Arcadia V. Escondo, who was identified in the criminal case as his wife.

They did not immediately return telephone or email messages requesting their side of the story.

Pons moved to the U.S. from Argentina in 1985. He claimed to have a master’s degree in international relations, specializing in international law. In the U.S., he has run businesses that specialize in immigration and bankruptcy filings.

But he is not an attorney and has not been admitted to practice law in New York state, according to the federal government.

In 2012, the federal prosecutor charged Pons and his wife with tax fraud.

The couple filed at least 78 fraudulent corporate tax returns from 2006 to 2011, claimed nearly $7 million in refunds and received $988,385.

The prosecutor dropped the charge against Escondo. Seibel found Pons incapable of defending himself.

“While likely intellectually gifted,” a psychologist reported, his “thinking is intruded upon by emotionally charged misperceptions and distortions.”

He had sued the federal government for $150 trillion after his arrest, claiming that he was being politically prosecuted for being a member of the Tea Party and for supporting the Republican Party.

He claimed that IRS agents and assistant prosecutors are “monsters who want to eat people.”

Pons was imprisoned for 32 months,

then formally pleaded guilty in 2016 to impairing the administration of the Internal Revenue Service. Seibel sentenced him to time served and ordered him to pay $988,385 restitution and to participate in an outpatient mental health program.

The new charges were filed Nov. 6 as an adversarial proceeding in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy case. The debtor in that case, Carlos Ozorio, lives in Queens where he runs a tire and muffler shop. But the bankruptcy petition lists his address as 445 Hamilton Ave., White Plains.

That is one of the addresses that Pons uses, according to the government complaint, for allegedly filing questionable

bankruptcy petitions. Twenty-six times, and as recently as last month, the government alleges, Pons filed petitions without identifying himself as the preparer.

In the previous scheme, most of the bankruptcy petitions were in the names of fictional businesses. This time, according to the complaint, the petitions were filed in the names of third-party individuals.

At least one bankruptcy case was filed without the knowledge of the purported debtor. Most of the petitions contain inaccurate information, such as Social Security numbers or omit required information.

The government claims that Pons and Escondo filed the petitions to delay foreclo-

FCBJ

sures and evictions at their business and residential addresses, by listing the properties as in need of protection.

The government is asking the bankruptcy court to fine them for violating bankruptcy regulations and to permanently ban them from filing new cases.

In 2016, Seibel said she was not going to keep Pons in prison any longer just to protect the public.

“But I do worry,” she said, “particularly given the games that he played while on bail, that he doesn’t take particularly seriously his obligations of honesty to the court or the U.S. government in general.

“Time will tell.”

Hers Fashion returns to Norwalk with the reinvention of House of Katia

BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

I

t’s relatively rare for a store owner to willingly close down, just to open in the same city several months later. But that’s just what Katia Garçon, formerly of Katia Boutiques at 614 West Ave. and now running House of Katia on the second floor of 12 Main St. in Norwalk, has done.

“It really came down to space,” Garçon said at her new store, which opened Nov. 8 with a “grand re-opening" in Norwalk’s popular Wall Street Arts District. “The traffic we were getting (at the 600-square-foot West Avenue location) was nice, but I could not service my clients the right way.

“This is meant to be a personal styling boutique,” she continued. “I like to sit down with you one on one, or invade your closet with the right products that you need. Plus I needed space to entertain, to make people feel like they’re a part of what’s going on.”

What hasn’t changed at the new boutique, consisting of 1,200 square feet, is the Katia’s retail experience, she said.

In addition to personal styling and fine jewelry design, the store offers casual and upscale styles “for women of all curves,” Garçon said, with merchandise from both international manufacturers and local designers.

House of Katia’s entertainment space will feature artists, painters, authors, wine tastings and networking events. “I want it to feel like a little New York City space that’s comfortable and allows for people to get to know each other,” she said.

Garçon, who before returning to Norwalk several years ago founded Henri Garçon, a Manhattan-based company that designed and created commissioned fine jewelry, said her interest in stones began at a young age.

“I came to the United States (from Haiti) with my parents when I was 5 years old,” she recalled. “We moved around a lot, from state to state, until we finally got it right in Norwalk.

“I was always picking up little rocks as remembrances of places, little souvenirs,” she continued. “Then when I was in my early 20s, at a time when I wasn’t really very happy, my mother said, ‘People make careers out of what you’ve been doing.’ I didn’t believe her at first, but I eventually made my way to the Gemological Institute of America, where they taught me how to really touch, feel and understand stones.”

Learning how to create fine jewelry, Garçon ended up earning GG (Graduate Gemologist) and JDT ( Jewelry Design Technology) degrees from the institute, setting her on what she said is her life’s career path.

“What’s important, besides understanding

what works, is understanding when things are not working correctly,” she said about designing jewelry. “You can make something that’s the most beautiful piece in the world, but if it falls apart, what’s the point?”

Garçon makes use of cutting-edge tech-

nology when creating pieces for her clients, including 3-D software that allows for on-thespot discussions of what the customer prefers — or, in some cases, learn about a new design they hadn’t considered before. » HERS

Hers—

Garçon is also a licensed jewelry appraiser. She regularly works with estate attorneys to assess the value of heirlooms that have been passed down.

But that business is hardly all about the past, she noted. “Fashion changes. Everything should be appraised every eight to 10 years.”

And when Garçon says she “invades” her clients’ closets, she’s not exaggerating. Through her House of Katia’s Style Subscription, a service that promises clients greater access to her expertise, customers can receive discounts on all purchases, ongoing wardrobe consultations and a “personal closet assessment.”

“It’s a way of keeping people accountable who only see me every three months,” she laughed. “I can honestly answer the question, ‘How do I look?’ regardless of what your friends or family members say. And I respond within 30 minutes — ‘You have to change those earrings,

change those shoes!’”

It’s important, she added, “to repurpose the things we have and love.

If I know everything that’s going on in your closet, I can help a client when they’re going out to a special event.

Even if it comes down to asking, ‘Are you prepared to go out like that?’ ” The monthly subscription is being offered at an initial rate of $29.99 per month. “I try to keep things economical,” Garçon said. “And it sends the message that I’m there when you need me.”

Garçon took about a year to find the new space and roughly six months to renovate it to her liking.

“I couldn’t believe how my clients had missed me so much!” she enthused.

“We probably had about 80 to 85 people at the grand re-opening. The mayor (Harry Rilling) and his wife have always been so supportive, and we had members of the Chamber of Commerce and the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce here. It was so wonderful to have that kind of support.”

Mount Kisco Lyme disease doctor sues blogger for $1M citing libel

BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

A

Mount Kisco physician who specializes in the treatment of Lyme disease is suing a blogger for $1 million for allegedly misrepresenting his disciplinary action for professional misconduct.

Dr. Daniel Cameron sued Jann Bellamy, a Tallahassee, Florida, lawyer and activist for science-based standards in health care, in federal court in White Plains.

CAMERON

Cameron claims that an article Bellamy wrote last year depicted him as a “predator who preys on Lyme disease patients for

his own financial gain,” and that she falsely described his consent agreement with the New York state Department of Health’s Board for Professional Medical Conduct.

Bellamy replied by email, “I have not been served with any lawsuit and cannot comment.”

Cameron has been practicing medicine in New York since 1985. He primarily treats patients with a history of Lyme disease or associated tickborne diseases, such as Bartonella and Babesia.

He is active in the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society that has issued diagnosis and treatment guidelines for chronic Lyme disease.

Lyme disease, he states in the complaint, is endemic in Westchester County and most of New York state. His patients come from throughout the world and many find him

through internet searches.

BELLAMY

Bellamy contends that there is no such disease as chronic Lyme and that the consensus of infectious disease experts is that long-term use of antibiotics to treat these patients can be harmful.

In April 2017, the state Board for Professional Medical Conduct filed a statement of charges against Cameron, concerning seven patients he treated from 1995 to 2010.

The board accused him of professional misconduct, including gross negligence, gross incompetence and failure to maintain records.

Cameron formally denied all allegations and charges in a 14-page response.

He said the state board interviewed him about the diagnosis and treatment of Lyme

disease but did not interview him about the board’s charges.

The state, he said, “manipulated the license disciplinary process.”

He demanded a hearing on the legal merits of his position.

Three weeks later, he signed a consent agreement that put him on probation for three years, allowing him to continue his practice subject to several restrictions.

“I assert that I cannot successfully defend against at least one of the acts of misconduct alleged,” the agreement states.

One week after Cameron signed the consent, Bellamy published her account of the disciplinary action on the website of ScienceBased Medicine.

She said Cameron is board certified in internal medicine but has no fellowship training or certification in the infectious diseases subspecialty. She described him as a recognized leader “among those who consider ‘chronic Lyme’ a real disease,” but not among board certified infectious disease doctors “who agree that ‘chronic Lyme’ is not a real disease.”

Cameron, she wrote, “brushes off the expert opinion of infectious diseases doctors versus ‘chronic Lyme’ pseudoscience as simply ‘different points of view.’ ” New York, according to Bellamy, does not require doctors to stipulate to particular acts of misconduct as a condition of settling a case.

“This means the allegations in the state’s statement of charges were never proven.”

But she said the statement of charges, based on expert review of Cameron’s patient records, “remain uncontested by Cameron.”

“Reading between the lines,” Bellamy continued, “Cameron had only one tool, a hammer, so he saw every problem as a nail. The possibility that the patient might be suffering from something other than ‘chronic Lyme’ was tossed aside via inadequate physical exams and medical records, failing to consider other diagnoses, and bulldozing ahead with inappropriate long-term antibiotics, adverse conditions be damned.”

Those assertions, Cameron states in his complaint, are libelous.

The consent order, he states, made no findings of actual misconduct and did not sustain any of the original allegations.

He never stipulated to charges of negligence or incompetence, the complaint states, but he did formally contest the charges.

“The consent order was merely a statement of all the outstanding charges,” the complaint states, “and nothing more.”

Cameron is demanding $1 million for libel and defamation and an injunction barring future postings of the article.

The lawsuit also names five doctors from across the country who edit articles on the website, but it does not name the publication or organization as defendants.

Cameron is represented by Jacques G. Simon of Jericho, Long Island.

Serendipity Labs to bring coworking space to Westchester One tower in White Plains

BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com

S

erendipity Labs will open a coworking space in one of White Plains’ best-known business addresses: Westchester One. The company, a national operator of coworking space headquartered in Rye, announced that it will lease 20,000 square feet in the 21-story building and invest about $2 million to build out a two-story coworking lab on the building's lower floors.

John Arenas, CEO and chairman of Serendipity Labs, said the company has been looking for the right space in White Plains for some time.

Last year, company officials were introduced to the leadership of Argent Ventures, a New York City real estate firm that bought Westchester One,

NOVEMBER 26, 2018

or 44 S. Broadway, for $138 million in June 2017.

Argent is working on renovations to modernize the building, including an updated cafeteria, lobbies and pop-up art galleries.

Arenas said that vision fit with Serendipity's plans for a space in the city, while Argent saw in Serendipity a client that can help the building grow into more of a destination.

The move marks a 21st century twist for the 907,000-square-foot building built in 1976 and originally occupied solely by IBM. The 20,000-square-foot lease also marks the latest large deal for the building. Last year, New York Life took 140,000 square feet on the top four levels of the office tower. That deal was one of the largest in the county for 2017.

"There's momentum in the building and certainly the

access to shopping, dining and improvements nearby have enticed us to be there," Arenas said.

Arenas had previously confirmed to the Business Journal that a White Plains space was in the works, but had not disclosed the location. The company is designing the space now and plans to start construction this winter, with a tentative opening planned for spring 2019.

Coworking has been a growing sector in Westchester County. Already offering coworking space in White Plains is Koi Creative Space, which offers membership to its offices on Mamaroneck Avenue. The mixed-use redevelopment of the White Plains Mall property is also expected to include about 27,000 square feet of coworking space, though developer Street-Works Development

only recently received municipal approvals and is yet to start construction.

The redevelopment of the former PepsiCo building in Somers includes about 10,000 square feet of coworking office space. Other coworking facilities have opened in Irvington, Dobbs Ferry and Yonkers.

"We thought there was definitely room for Serendipity, which is an upscale workplace designed to inspire our members, but also provides an extension of the corporate workspace for our corporate members," Arenas said. "We thought there is a lot of room for that in White Plains."

Serendipity's White Plains space will provide drop-in workspace as well as event space and meeting rooms. Amenities include wellness rooms, quiet rooms for private phone calls, tech

support and a cafe.

Arenas said it is a misconception that Serendipity's coworking space is utilized only by entrepreneurs and freelancers.

If a larger company has a team of 20 or so people, Arenas gave as an example, "it may make more sense for them to sign with us at one of our locations than to sign a traditional lease for 5,000 to 10,000 square feet."

That means Serendipity competes not just with other coworking operators in the region, but also with office landlords trying to land tenants for small office suites.

To stand out, Arenas said the company highlights its flexibility. White Plains marks the second Westchester County location for Serendipity, which has 30 locations nationwide and reports another 125 under

development. Along with locations in Rye and Stamford, the company has tristate locations in the Financial District of Manhattan and Ridgewood, New Jersey.

A membership at the White Plains location, Arenas said, allows access to the other tristate sites.

"We have a New York Citybased client, for example, that has an agreement with us to allow their employees to use our suburban locations when they need to," Arenas said. "So having an array of suburban locations really can serve a strategic purpose for companies, not just provide a cool place to work."

Serendipity Labs has already listed rates on its website for the White Plains lab that range from $49 for a single workday visit to $2,100 a month for a private office for a group between 3 and 10.

BrioDigital and NestEdge Realty settle $1M dispute over SEO vagaries

BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

YOU ARE INVITED! 13th Annual

“You are ‘Cause’ for Celebration!”

HOLIDAY PARTY

Monday, December 10, 2018 • 6:00 – 9:00 pm C.V. Rich Mansion, White Plains

rioDigital, a search engine optimization firm, and NestEdge Realty of Chappaqua, have settled a dispute that illustrates the vagaries of SEO practices.

NestEdge had sued BrioDigital for $1 million on July 16 in Westchester Supreme Court, claiming that the internet firm’s work was done so poorly that it negated any benefits.

But Theresa Davidson, owner and founder of BrioDigital, said the problem actually originated with a faulty Google platform.

Both sides recently agreed to discontinue the lawsuit and settle up on fees, according to court documents, with NestEdge paying $5,000 to BrioDigital for SEO services and BrioDigital paying back $1,150 for pay-per-click advertising services.

The lawsuit was filed by NestEdge’s parent company, LMS Strategies Inc., and principals Matthew E. Gluck, Harvey T. Gluck and Leny Davidson.

NestEdge’s claim to fame is that it offers low commissions to sellers and commission rebates to buyers.

BrioDigital, based in Purchase, describes itself as a digital market expansion firm.

NestEdge hired BrioDigital in May for search engine marketing and optimization services. It wanted the firm, for example, to fine-tune keywords, metatags and content to achieve high search results and website rankings. Less than a week later, it hired BrioDigital to provide payper-click advertising services.

The contracts totaled $3,650 a month.

NestEdge disputed the payments in June, claiming that BrioDigital had failed to provide the services.

It alleged, for instance, that content submitted to search engines had such poor grammar that “consumers viewing the

advertisements would call into question NestEdge’s competency.”

The advertisements allegedly used terminology unrelated to the realty industry and mixed up messages aimed at buyers and sellers.

What happened, Theresa Davidson said, is that NestEdge wrote the ads and BrioDigital placed them on Google. But the platform had been updated and was inserting nonsensical symbols and parts of other ads into NestEdge’s material.

She said email correspondence with Google supported her story, but a NestEdge official found it hard to believe that Google could have made such a mistake.

NestEdge got American Express to reverse $6,000 in payments, she said, but the credit card company restored the charges after examining the contract and Google correspondence.

NestEdge also claimed that Jeff Jackson, a California debt collector, tried to bully the company into paying $31,150 in fees. Jackson, who is not personally named as a defendant in the case, allegedly threatened to attack their real estate licenses by disclosing false information about their creditworthiness.

“The debt collector went overboard,” Theresa Davidson said. “He sent emails that were not preapproved by us, demanding $30,000 in immediate payments. Just very bad.”

BrioDigital no longer uses the bill collector.

NestEdge had asked the court to declare the contract invalid and unenforceable. The Glucks and Leny Davidson had demanded $1 million for emotional distress and harm to their reputations.

BrioDigital was also concerned about reputation.

“This is the first time my company has had anything negative like this written about us,” Theresa Davidson said.

Editor’s Note: This story, first published on July 23, 2018, has been updated to reflect a legal settlement.

We invite you to join us at our annual party and networking event, as we recognize and honor the wonderful, hard-working employees and not-for-profit organizations here in Westchester County!

Breslin Realty sues Chevron for $1.2M over Yorktown gas station cleanup

BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

A

Breslin Realty Development Corp. affiliate is suing Chevron Corp. for $1.2 million, claiming that the oil company misrepresented the extent of soil and water contamination at an abandoned gas station in Yorktown where the developer is building a Lowe’s home improvement store.

Yorktown JAZ LLC of Garden City filed the lawsuit Oct. 26 in Westchester Supreme Court. The complaint names four Chevron subsidiaries as defendants: Chevron Environment Management Co., Texaco Inc., Texaco Downstream and Texaco Refining and Marketing Inc. “The property contamination arising from your prior operations was not cleaned up and removed,” Yorktown JAZ’s attorney said in a June letter to Chevron, according to the complaint, “and the full delineated extent of the contamination was never provided” to the state Department of Environmental Conservation.

Chevron did not respond to an email message requesting comment on the lawsuit.

The property is at 3196 Crompond Road along the Taconic State Parkway where Nunzio’s Texaco Service Station operated from 1962 to 1988.

Texaco hired a company in 1988 to remove six underground petroleum storage tanks, the complaint states. In 2000, a real estate company that was thinking about buying the property hired a firm to assess the environmental conditions.

That began a series of soil and water tests and cleanup plans by several firms. In 2003, Chevron Environmental took over the remediation project from Texaco.

But Chevron’s environmental consultant, JAZ claims, took shallow soil samples and did not take soil borings in places where contamination had been detected.

The state had set up two spill reports to track the cleanup. Chevron’s environmental consultant, according to the complaint, proposed a plan to clean up about 240 tons of contaminated soil east of the former gas station building. A previous consultant had proposed removing 2,000 tons of soil north of the station.

Chevron’s consultant reported only “minor residual concentrations of petroleum hydrocarbon compounds in the soil,” to the state, according to the complaint, based on incomplete data.

Chevron’s consultant eventually removed 478 tons of contaminated soil, according to JAZ, but did not disclose the full extent of contamination.

The state issued a No Further Action Letter in 2010, closing one of the spill reports.

Chevron’s contractor filled in the excavated area and covered it with asphalt.

Costco Wholesale Corp. proposed building a store near the site, and then Yorktown JAZ, working on behalf of Lowe’s, took over the project.

Their environmental consultants detected more petroleum contamination, and the state opened new spill reports.

Chevron’s consultant, JAZ alleges, “had not fully or completely addressed the subsurface contamination, thereby making additional soil excavation necessary.”

JAZ paid to remove another 6,234 tons of soil, and demanded that Chevron reimburse the costs. Chevron, the complaint states, has refused to do so.

JAZ claims Chevron “misrepresented signif-

icant widespread contamination” to the state, in violation of New York laws.

JAZ has moved ahead with the Lowe’s project. Wilbur F. Breslin, the developer, announced

in April that the home improvement store could open in 2019.

JAZ is represented by Dean S. Sommer and Kristin C. Rowe of Young/Sommer LLC in Albany.

BIJOU THEATRE BACK IN THE LIMELIGHT

A

udiences have attended movies at the Art Deco Bijou Theatre since 1909 when a guest could see a newsreel and a double feature for a dime. Today, the renovated cinema in the heart of Bridgeport operates as a concert venue, hosting musicians, occasionally comedians and showcasing films to all of Connecticut and the surrounding region.

For a metropolitan area of its size, Bridgeport is home to surprisingly numerous places where people can go to experience live entertainment. There are dozens of venues throughout the region, from the smallest corner where live acts serenade patrons, to the largest indoor performance halls, arenas and outdoor amphitheaters that seat thousands of people.

“Live music can form lasting life memories,” explained the Bijou’s owner, Gary

Peterson, “being a smaller venue and hosting a variety of shows, we can really weave live music into the fabric of the community.”

Yet, this venue isn’t just for music fans!

Since opening the Bijou has played host to a wide range of nonprofit fundraisers, seminars, product launches, speaker panels — even serving as the site of a wedding and the backdrop of a music video.

The theatre accommodates 190 auditorium and cabaret-style and the Carbon Arc Bar, named for the lamps used in the old film projectors in the lobby, offers a large selection of beers, wines and spirits.

“With Connecticut making its ‘mark’ in the television and film production industry, the Bijou has even received inquiries to be used for private screenings,” explained Peterson, a former production manager at NBC Sports in Stamford. “Normal people see movies

in multiplex cinemas. The rest — those who need to see movies before they are released or even quite finished (critics, industry types, festival types, members of the press, advertising executives and clients) often see them in screening rooms.”

For acquisition screenings, small indie premieres, event screenings, pre-festival viewings, publicists and filmmakers turn to smaller theatres, like the Bijou.

And since taking over The Bijou, Peterson has been trying to put his Bridgeport “gem” to the top of everyone’s list.

“The video, sound and lighting systems in the projection room are state of the art,” he commented.

Theatre rental starts at $2,000, depending on day and duration. Food and beverage packages are additional. For more information, contact The Bijou at 203-296-9605.

November 2018 As Mayor of Connecticut’s largest city, I am proud to say the city of Bridgeport is experiencing a development renaissance. Housing, mixed use, commercial, industrial and entertainment projects that have just been completed, are currently under construction or scheduled to start in the new year total more than $2 billion dollars.

Bridgeport has a thriving arts community that will now be accompanied by exciting entertainment projects like Live Nation’s joint venture to convert a ballpark into a state-of-the-art amphitheater in our sports and entertainment district. Steel Point Development is transforming the harbor into a showcase project of housing, hotels, retail, entertainment and marinas. MGM has identified and partnered with the same developers to construct a $750,000 million casino/ resort project on the harbor, and Exact Capital is developing a $400,000 million project downtown that will include renovating two historic theaters into a vibrant hotel with first class amenities and retail space. In addition, Exact Capital will be constructing approximately 844 units of housing and 60,000 square feet of retail space in four new buildings on property adjacent to the Theater.

Residential developments of new and refurbished historical buildings, complemented by our mass transit system, makes Bridgeport an ideal location for young professionals, artists and empty nesters to call home. Currently there are more than 600 new apartments, lofts and chic unique spaces that have recently been occupied and made available for residents.

These job-creating and cultural-development projects are exactly the kind of transformation that is bringing new energy, employment opportunities, and economic growth to our city.

Bridgeport’s future is bright! I encourage you to visit our city and take advantage of the many attractions and amenities that we have to offer.

ust ask Live Nation Entertainment. Starting in autumn of 2019, this global entertainment company will be bringing the world’s best live performances to Bridgeport.

You can see the exciting transformation from the highway, as this project is currently under construction. The $15 million Harbor Yard Amphitheater will give new life to the former ballpark and bring a new skyline downtown. Look for the iconic big-top tent that will be seen as you drive by on I-95. Designed by the world’s premier architect in tensile fabric roof technology, the new roof will allow the show to go on, rain or shine. And there will be plenty of shows and events to draw people into the Park City. A typical year, the 5,000-plus-seat Amphitheater will host some 70 events from April through October.

When winter sets in, then the action moves next door and indoors, to the Webster Bank Arena, where New York Islanders affiliate, the Bridgeport Sound Tigers, take to the ice, and college hoops take to the hardwood. All year long, you can visit Bridgeport for the best in lively entertainment and events.

BRIDGEPORT | CLASSIC

Of course, you don’t just have to visit.

You can move to Bridgeport and live here year-round. You’ll have plenty of company. Connecticut’s most populous city continues to grow in residents and living space options. Downtown alone has seen its population double in recent years. Many are drawn by the city’s classic architecture and attractions. Do you want to live in a loft apartment in an historic building? How about floor-toceiling windows? Are you looking for natural light to paint by? Join the artists who make their homes in the spacious loft apartments created from the former Read’s Department store. Or maybe you want to live a little higher up. How about an upper-story apartment at the Art-Deco City Trust Tower? You’ll come home each night to a New York City-style lobby, complete with modern sculpture and a gold leaf canopy entrance. If you want gaping floor-to-ceiling windows, be sure to check out the Cherry Street Lofts in

Bridgeport Hospital, part of the Yale New Haven Health system, offers state-of-the-art cardiac care at the Joel E. Smilow Heart Institute and Connecticut’s only dedicated Burn Center for trauma patients.

What keeps this economic engine humming is the greenest energy infrastructure in Connecticut. Whether it’s the new $500 million natural gas turbine power plant being built by PSEG on the harbor, or Dominion Power’s Fuel Cell Park – one of the largest fuel cell parks in the western hemisphere – or the two-megawatt solar array on the city’s former landfill or the thermal loop proposed for the city’s Eco-Technology Park, Bridgeport continues to innovate in green energy and to pursue a diversified, climate-friendly, cost-efficient approach to empowering its businesses.

panies can draw upon a population of more than 500,000. Over 62 percent of Fairfield residents have college or advanced degrees, and Fairfield boasts more management, finance and IT professionals per capita than even New York City. And, with a combined enrollment of more than 13,000 students, Fairfield and Sacred Heart universities provide access to the rising talent that knowledge-based companies covet.

Attracting top talent demands amenity rich, vibrant environments that integrate work with modern life. Fairfield affords employers and employees alike with urban-style amenities in a suburban setting. Fairfield is one of the few places that the beach, train station and downtown are all within walking distance of one another. Fairfield’s bustling downtown is home to a nascent arts scene, centered on the Fairfield Theater Company, as well as charming shops and boutique stores. With over 200 local eating spots, Fairfield is a popular destination for foodies. Coupled with more than five miles of shoreline on Long Island Sound and more than 1,000 acres of parks and dedicated open space, it’s easy to see why people choose to stay.

The town has embarked on an ambitious economic development strategy focused on mixed-use and transit-oriented development. New regulations permit a broad range of commercial uses as well as higher density residential and lower on-site parking requirements in recognition of the availability of mass transit. This focus on transit-oriented development has already spurred new investment activity, highlighted by a new 5-story, 140,000-square-foot mixed-use development with 101 apartments on the doorstep of the new commuter rail station. A similarly sized second phase is already in the works.

The town’s Economic Development Department offers siting and other assistance, and works proactively with businesses to successfully navigate the permitting and regulatory approval process.

ake a walk along the Hudson River near downtown Yonkers and you’re sure to run into a construction site, or three. The city’s riverfront is booming with rising apartment towers as developers race to build millennial and empty nester-friendly units that take advantage of the water views and easy walk to the train station.

The Yonkers Industrial Development Agency said recent projects mark the largest concentration of residential development in the city’s history. To keep track of what’s going where, the Business Journal has compiled this map of major apartment projects near the Yonkers downtown waterfront that are either planned, in construction or recently opened. This doesn’t include apartment projects under development in other parts of the city, or nonresidential commercial projects.

SPECIAL REPORT | Real Estate 1. EXTELL RIVERFRONT

159 Alexander St. A massive, $500 million plan from national builder Extell Development Co. would include six buildings, 1,395 apartments and 51,800 square feet of commercial space built over the next decade.

The Manhattan-based developer’s plan targets 22 waterfront acres stretching from the former British International Cable Corp. property at 1 Point St. to the former Excelsior Packaging plant at 159 Alexander St. Environmental remediation is ongoing at the site and the city is awaiting a site plan application.

2. AVALON YONKERS

79 Alexander St. Construction is underway, with one of the first structures already vertical at Avalon’s major apartment development along Alexander Street. The national developer is approved to bring 609 apartments to a block of land wedged between the Metro-North train tracks and the Hudson River. The project is a key cog in the city’s Alexander Street Urban Renewal Area plan to re-imagine the mostly industrial corridor with thousands of apartments.

Rising Development and RXR Realty LLC, has opened a leasing office next door to the first, 17-story tower on Main Street.

Along with that tower, which has 170 units including studios, one- and two-bedroom luxury apartments, there will be ground-level retail space. The second tower is 25 stories and holds 269 residential units. A separate two-story building along Van der Donck Park will hold most of the complex’s 35,000 square feet of restaurant and retail space.

6. CHICKEN ISLAND

23 John St. The city has seen its fair share of plans for this undeveloped 6-acre parcel in its downtown, once home to a chicken farm

and surrounded by the Saw Mill River.

AMS Acquisitions is the latest developer to take a swing. The city excitedly announced in October that the company would spend $16 million on the lot and plans to turn the property into a downtown epicenter, with a concentration of shopping, dining, apartment buildings, offices and a luxury hotel. Those plans will need to be reviewed by the city before any construction.

7. 55 BUENA VISTA

55 Buena Vista Ave. AMS Acquisitions recently spent $18 million to buy the lot, once home to the GermanAmerican Teutonia Music Hall, which was built in 1891.

The New York City developer said it would build a 24-story tower with 361 luxury apartments on the site.

The city of Yonkers had already approved a previous developer’s plans for the site in 2013, which called for a 25-story apartment tower with 361 apartments.

8. MODERA HUDSON RIVERFRONT

20 Water Grant St. This six-story, 324-unit rental complex on the Hudson River waterfront started leasing apartments in April.

Developed by Mill Creek Residential Trust LLC, the 572,500-square-foot residential community at 20 Water Grant St. has a mix of studio and one- and two-bedroom apartment rentals.

3. RIVER CLUB AT HUDSON PARK

1 Alexander St. Strategic Capital, the New Jerseybased real estate investment arm of China State Construction Engineering Corp., leads this $85 million effort to build this 24-story, 230,000-square-foot apartment tower on Alexander Street.

Leasing started this month on the 213 apartments in the building, a mix of studio and one- and two-bedroom apartments.

The project represents the third and final apartment tower of Hudson Park, which developer Collins Enterprises started building in the early 2000s.

Strategic Capital bought into the project in 2015. The complex includes more than 770 apartments total.

4. UNO

1 Larkin Plaza Opened in spring 2017, Uno’s 50 micro-apartments and lofts are the residential component of developer National Resources’ iPark Hudson. iPark is a 24-acre technology and office campus with office space utilized by companies such as Kawasaki, ContraFect Corp. and mobile app developer IAC Applications.

5. SAWYER PLACE

55 Main St. Formerly known as Larkin Plaza, this two-building development will bring more than 400 new apartments to the city. The developer, a joint venture of Yonkers-based

Following big deals, plenty of office space available in Fairfield County FAIRFIELD COUNTY AVAILABLE LARGEST BLOCKS OF SPACE

BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

W

hile the Fairfield County office market experienced its most active first half of a year since 2015, recording over 1 million square feet of leasing activity, there are still plenty of vacancies on the market, with observers cautiously optimistic that the recent momentum will continue.

Stamford and Greenwich led the way in the second quarter of 2018, with the former accounting for more than 34 percent of the 403,000 square feet that was leased in Fairfield County, according to Jared Koeck, research team lead at CBRE Stamford.

The availability rate in Greenwich reached single digits for the first time in a decade, with Class-A availabilities at a low 8.2 percent and an overall availability rate of 9.1 percent as of September, “a number that is poised to dip even lower as we push closer towards the end of the year,” Koeck said.

Koeck further said that the continuing drop in availability in the Greenwich central business district (CBD) leads CBRE to believe that as available space in that submarket is leased up, activity will spill over into neighboring Stamford. That city is well positioned to absorb some of the tenants that could be locked out of Greenwich, he said. “The walkable submarket has ample Class-A space available at significantly more affordable rents, making it an attractive alternative.”

Several major financial, insurance and real estate (FIRE) tenants have relocated to Stamford from Greenwich lately, including First Reserve Corporation and PartnerRE. Across the county, “Office occupancy has been fairly steady,” said CBRE Vice Chairman Jeffrey Dunne.

Noting some of the company’s biggest deals in the county over the past several months — including the $42 million sale of Park Square West, a mixeduse property in Stamford, in August; the $16.5 million sale of a two-building medical office complex in Stamford in October; and one of the county’s biggest deals of the year, the $17 million sale of Danbury’s Matrix Corporate Center, also in October — Dunne said CBRE is on pace to end 2018 with $600 million to $700 million in Fairfield County sales.

In general, the vacancy level is up across the county, said Sean Cahill, principal and managing director of Avison Young’s Fairfield/Westchester office. “The large spaces are what move the needle overall, but there is still space around Fairfield County,” he noted.

With the state seemingly having turned the corner when it comes to jobs — the latest figures from the Connecticut Department of Labor show nonfarm jobs grew by 22,300, or 1.3 percent, through October, while the unemployment rate stands at 4.2 percent, compared with 4.5 percent on a year-over-year basis — Cahill said sunny days should be ahead for the commercial market.

“The job creation that is going on will directly affect occupancy rates in Fairfield County, particularly in the office space,” he said. “We’re finally starting to see it turn around.”

hen we started the Land Use Law Center at Pace Law School 25 years ago, we dedicated our efforts to promote sustainable development. We quickly learned that this meant working at the local level and reviewing comprehensive land use plans, zoning and other land use regulations. New York, like all states, has delegated the power to control land use and land development to its municipal governments, including its cities, villages and towns. A quarter of a century ago, the challenges were fewer, if no less complex, than the development issues we face today.

In 1993, Westchester had an affordable housing problem, which was a crisis for the homeless and a critical problem for localities whose seniors, young couples and workers could no longer afford to live locally.

Lewisboro paved the way for responding, through zoning,

to this problem. It was the first municipality in New York to award developers extra density in exchange for housing affordable to local workers and others with comparable incomes. Bonus density was popular with other communities. This approach and mandatory inclusionary zoning regulations were adopted by many communities. Today, the problem has become fair housing. How do communities with largely white demographics use their land use regulation to increase diversity in their populations by removing barriers to affirmatively further fair housing? This is a problem that has defied solution at the national level for decades, but is now very much on the local doorstep.

Twenty-five years ago, green development was in its infancy. Greenburgh was the innovator here. It amended its zoning to require single-family homes to comply with the federal Energy Star rating system, guaranteeing less energy consumption, less fossil fuel generation

for heating and cooling and, thereby, lower costs and less contribution to global warming. Communities are revising land use regulations to ensure low carbon land use. Yonkers followed Greenburgh by using the LEED ND rating system as a guide to amending its land use regulations. The state of New York amended its building code array to add an energy code, requiring all buildings to be more energy efficient. Localities began to think about the thermal values of the buildings they permitted and how to reduce vehicle miles traveled through walkability and mixed-use development, which reduces car dependency and carbon dioxide emissions from tailpipes.

Transit Oriented Development (TOD) came on the scene in 1998 with the groundbreaking at the Hudson Park development on the waterfront in downtown Yonkers. That development was immediately adjacent to and direct» FAIR HOUSING

ly connected to the Yonkers Metro-North train station in a mixed-use neighborhood, near restaurants and recreational fields with attractive art, and served with half the parking otherwise required by the Institute of Traffic Engineers at that time. Today, all of our urban villages and cities with transit are amending zoning to promote TOD. Local planners are gauging the advent of ride-hailing autonomous vehicles that will reduce parking needs to a fraction of what they were and free up hundreds of acres of parking lots to new and complementary development.

Hudson Park, which opened in Yonkers in 1998, was one of the first examples of Transit Oriented Development (TOD), now a popular trend in housing development. It is near the Yonkers Metro-North station in a mixed-use neighborhood, near restaurants and recreational fields.

The Regional Plan Association has quantified this future asset and recommended zoning reforms to use it sustainably.

A quarter of a century ago, a few isolated communities permitted solar panels in their zoning because of the energy crisis of the 1970s. They stopped when that crisis ebbed so that when the urgent need for the use of renewable solar energy emerged a few years ago, a regulatory barrier existed to its use. The cost of gaining local approvals through special use permits, variances or other exceptions to zoning became a significant cost of developing solar energy and the only component of that cost that was not declining as technology improved. Sustainable Westchester has involved all Westchester communities in promoting solar energy and permitting it through land use regulations and incentives.

When we began, we had a national flood insurance program that was solvent and localities were required to rezone floodplains modestly to require buildings to be elevated. Today, with fiercer storms, constant rainfalls and sea level rise, the challenges could not be more severe. The federal budgets for flood insurance and disaster recovery, particularly from coastal storms, have ballooned and local governments are reviewing inundation maps that expose the vulnerability of buildings built anywhere close to coastal waters. Resilience is being built into local zoning ordinances where the concern is that allowing infrastructure and buildings in vulnerable coastal zones is putting lives, property and taxpayer dollars directly in harm’s way.

These issues challenge local officials and those who elect them to carefully track the many changes in weather, technology and markets. Over the last 25 years, we have learned that amending comprehensive plans and adjusting zoning standards are critical tools to preserve natural resources and promote sustainable development.

WESTCHESTER COUNTY

Good Things Happening

$448K IN GRANTS FROM WCF The Westchester Community Foundation (WCF) has announced a recent round of grants to 15 local nonprofits, totaling $448,000.

Six of the grants focus on work supporting the immigrant population of Westchester County. Grants providing free legal services for immigrants, among other services, were made to Community Resource Center, El Centro Hispano, Neighbors Link, RSHM Life Center, and the Worker Justice Center of New York.

Additionally, a grant to Latino U will help first-generation Latino young people get into and through college.

WCF also made grants intended to encourage greater civic participation in a variety of areas. Typical was a grant to The Advocacy Institute, which will help the organization expand an interactive online map to include county-level information on party affiliation, staffs and committees of our state legislators, so that citizens have access to this sometimes difficult-to-find information. A grant to Community Governance & Development Council will support a civic engagement project in a Yonkers neighborhood, which will encourage self-advocacy.

“Voter participation and civic engagement is on the rise. We are pleased to support innovative efforts for residents of Westchester to participate in our civil society,” said WCF Executive Director Laura Rossi.

PERKINS TO RECEIVE $60K PRIZE Bettye Perkins, president and CEO of the White Plains-based organization Today’s Students Tomorrow’s Teachers (TSTT), has been selected as one of five winners of a 2018 AARP Purpose Prize. TSTT helps launch students on teaching careers.

The AARP prize recognizes exceptional work by individuals over 50 who are advancing a social mission and making a difference in public life.

“Our program helps to nurture and mentor the students through high school and college,” said Perkins. “There are no shortcuts; this work requires extensive amounts of time and effort. But the payoff is great.”

The AARP Purpose Prize Award Gala is in Washington, D.C., on Dec. 5.

While international attention may have been focused on France where Armistice Day was marked by many world leaders gathering at a military cemetery to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I, in Armonk there was a ceremony at The Bristal Assisted Living. Fourteen residents of The Bristal were honored for their military service.

Armistice Day was renamed in the U.S. as Veterans Day to honor those who

have served in all wars, not just World War I. Among those at The Bristal for the occasion were North Castle Supervisor Michael Schiliro, North Castle Council members Barbara DiGiacinto, Steve D’Angelo and Jose Berra, Assemblyman David Buchwald, and Westchester County Legislator Margaret Cunzio.

The 14 veterans honored were Allan Newark, Allen Dahle, Curtis Schwartz, Frank Grieco, Harold Mercer, Herbert Ber-

man, James McGovern, Kurt Jacobson, Mathew McConnell, Melvin Schneider, Peter Hahn, Sam Galowitz, Stanley Fleischman and William Magrino.

Veterans from the community who attended the program represented the four branches of the military: Stephen Smith who served in the Navy; Army veteran Victor Gordon; Len Valure, a former Marine; and Bill Hume who served in the Air Force.

SMILES FOR VETERANS Providing America’s veterans with the health care they deserve is an issue attracting a good deal of attention these days, and students at Touro College of Dental Medicine in Valhalla volunteered recently to help bring smiles to about 50 veterans by providing free dental care.

The event, in conjunction with the Ninth District Dental Association, was named “Smiles for Veterans,” and the individual sessions began with the dental students taking medical histories and checking mouths, heads, necks and lymph nodes for abnormalities. They also shot x-rays to detect any cavities and provided cleanings.

“Giving back is important; it’s something that we want to teach our students,” said Ronnie Meyers, dean of the dental college. “But giving back to the veterans that have given their time and service for the protection of our freedom is very important.”

“Veterans do so much for our country and they’re the reason we’re even here enjoying ourselves every day at dental school,” student Sabrina Mellusi said. “We kind of just want to give back to them in any way that we can.”

BEHIND THE SCENES AT ELLIS ISLAND

Tompkins Mahopac Bank (TMB) has announced three changes in its executive lineup relating to commercial lending.

David DeMilia, a senior vice president, has been appointed senior commercial lending manager.

Greiner has 25 years in the banking industry, including 10 years with TMB. She now is responsible for developing and expanding new commercial loan relationships in the Dutchess region.

KING NAMED TO ARTSWESTCHESTER

Edward C. Halperin, far right, wearing a sweatshirt from Barnard, which was attended by his daughter, discusses the history of Ellis Island with some NYMC students.

With immigration and efforts to curtail it continuing to be in the headlines, students and faculty from New York Medical College (NYMC) donned hard hats for a behind-the-scenes tour of Ellis Island, the portal where more than 12 million immigrants entered the U.S. NYMC’s Chancellor and Chief Executive

Officer Edward C. Halperin accompanied the group. Among the facilities visited was the unrestored Ellis Island Hospital complex that operated from 1902 until 1930. The visitors saw the infectious and contagious disease wards, kitchen facilities, laundry building and mortuary and autopsy room, all of which played a vital role in preserving

public health at the time.

“Between our tour guide’s knowledgeable account and Dr. Halperin’s ever insightful commentary, we could really get a sense of what the practice of medicine was like at Ellis Island, for the health care teams and for the patients,” said student Brandon Pecchia.

BRUCE MUSEUM RECEIVES MAJOR COLLECTION OF NATIVE AMERICAN ART The Bruce Museum in Greenwich has announced that the promised gift of a highly significant collection of Native American baskets, textiles and ceramics was donated to the museum by Mr. and Mrs. Jay W. Chai of Riverside. The museum’s Executive Director Peter C. Sutton expressed his abiding gratitude. He characterized it as “a truly transformative gift.”

The donation will build on the foundation of ethnographic material given to the museum in 1967 by Greenwich resident Margaret Cranford and will enhance the Bruce Museum’s standing as a regional resource for scholars and aficionados of Native American material culture.

The museum’s ethnology collection focuses on objects of peoples from the Americas and reflects the sophistication and diversity of the various cultures represented. The Native American collection is particularly strong in late 19th and early 20th century Southwest material, including Navajo textiles and jewelry, Pueblo black ware and Plains beadwork. Prehistoric material from the Northeast rounds out the collection since the Bruce Museum is the repository for archaeological material excavated in Greenwich.

Many of the baskets are certified as having been woven by the most famously

talented Native basket makers, including Tootsie Dick Sam (1885-1929), Maria Chapula (1856-1960) and Elizabeth Hickox (1875-1947).

A selection of 13 Native American baskets from the promised gift is now on view in the museum’s rotunda, as a timely complement to the exhibition A Continuous Thread: Navajo Weaving Traditions, on display through Nov. 25.

“The documented and verifiable provenance of notable objects in this gift strengthens the Bruce’s existing collection and pro-

vides innumerable avenues for interpretation and research,” said Kirsten Reinhardt, Bruce Museum registrar and curator of the Navajo Weaving Traditions exhibition.

Since the Bruce Museum’s founding more than a century ago, the community, through its generosity, has built the museum collection to more than 15,000 objects. The museum building and its collections are resources owned by the town of Greenwich and held in trust for the people of the town by a separate, privately funded 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, Bruce Museum Inc.
