Millennials entering homebuyer’s market

BY COLLEEN WILSON cwilson@westfairinc.com

T

he generation known as millennials, those born between about 1982 and 2000, has become the largest generation in U.S. history at 83.1 million strong. Westchester and Fairfield counties’ real estate markets are hoping to attract those potential buyers and, according to some of the region’s brokers, millennials are transitioning from renting to buying and are increasingly becoming some of the most sought after clientele.

But putting this new generation of buyers into homes of their own is not without its challenges.

Bill aims to ban foam containers in state’s restaurants COST OF ALTERNATIVES GETS PUSHBACK

BY EVAN FALLOR

A

bill proposed by Assemblyman Thomas J. Abinanti aims to prevent restaurants and food vendors statewide from using polystyrenebased containers to package leftover meals.

The bill, which was referred to the Committee on Consumer Affairs and Protection on Oct. 9, aims to curtail the negative impact of polystyrene foam both on the environment and on human health.

Food vendors, as cited in the bill, include any store or shop, including grocery stores and delis. If the bill were to be passed, violators would face a $500 fine for each infraction. To-go orders would not be affected.

Abinanti, a Democrat who represents Greenburgh and Mount Pleasant, called it a “simple” bill, one that incorporates bits and pieces of smaller bills limiting the use of polystyrene that have already been passed.

He said it was a “reasonable alternative” to a 2014 bill that would completely ban polystyrene foam in New York restaurants that never came to a vote.

“What we’re trying to do is protect the health of the environment and the health of our residents,” said Abinanti, also a member of the Assembly Environmental Conservation Committee. “We’re trying to stimulate or encourage restaurants to develop environmentally safe alternatives. There are alternatives available today. This type of legislation will encourage even more additional types.”

He cited plastics, cardboard, wax cardboard and aluminum as “practical” and recyclable alternatives that restaurants can adopt instead of foam clam shell containers.

Another danger he was concerned about was the potential leaching of carcinogens into food if kept stored in the material for an extended period of time or if microwaved in the packaging.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in 2011 listed styrene, the main component in polystyrene, as a possible carcinogen.

Jay Holland, the government affairs coordinator for the New York State Restaurant Association, the group that represents more than 7,000 state restaurants, said alternatives to polystyrene are generally more expensive, but did not have average price figures immediately available.

New York City’s ban on polystyrene con-

tainers, which went into effect on July 1, was overturned last month by state Supreme Court Judge Margaret Chin, who said evidence showed the material could be recycled at a manageable cost.

Holland’s main qualm with Abinanti’s bill

would be the confusion created in restaurants during its busiest hours.

“The kitchen will be able to use Styrofoam containers for takeout business, but not for doggy bags, so you would have to educate staff on which to use when,” Holland said. “It

doesn’t seem like a comprehensive way to go about regulating.”

Latino U guides first-gen students to college

BY COLLEEN WILSON

E

cwilson@westfairinc.com

ileen Becerra was a prospective college student at Fox Lane High School in Bedford more than two years ago when she started to feel the stress associated with the college application process.

What school? How many applications?

How to write the essay? What schools can a family afford? What is a FAFSA form?

These were some of the many questions going through Becerra’s mind.

“Being a first-generation student, I didn’t have a lot of help from my parents,” said Becerra, whose mother and father are originally from Mexico. So, at the beginning of senior year, “I was really anxious and stressed.”

Then she got an email from Shirley Acevedo Buontempo about a program pairing high-achieving Latino high school seniors with mentors to help them through the college application season from August through January.

Becerra said she and her mentor met once a week to go over everything from ideas for college essays to SAT preparation.

Becerra’s mentor encouraged her to look at new colleges and showed her how to fill out the applications.

Today, Becerra is wrapping up the first few months of her freshman year at the Manhattan College School of Business.

“I think if Shirley had never reached out to me, I wouldn’t be where I am today,” she said. “I think I would have struggled a lot and been confused.”

It is this kind of story that Acevedo Buontempo has in mind for all of the students that come through her White Plainsbased nonprofit program Latino U College Access Inc., which she founded in 2012 to provide college readiness resources for Latino students in Westchester County.

Through its seminars, Latino U has met with more than 1,500 parents. It has also partnered with four school districts in Westchester County — Port Chester-Rye Union Free, Tarrytown Union Free, White Plains and Ossining Union Free — all of which have Latino student populations greater than 47 percent.

The program, which is supported through grants, corporate sponsors and the Westchester County Youth Bureau, has been recognized by the White House for its commitment to increasing Hispanic enrollment in the free application for federal student

aid, or FAFSA. Latino U is also this year’s social enterprise in residence at Pace, which connects organizations with the academic community.

Clearing the path to higher education for Latino students is a job Acevedo Buontempo said she has spent her life preparing for because her story is much the same as many of her students in Latino U. After leaving Puerto Rico with her family at 10 and moving to the Bronx, Acevedo Buontempo became the first in her family to attend college. She graduated from Pace University with a bachelor’s degree in business.

“I found the whole experience to be transformative, life-changing and impactful for me,” she said.

For the next 15 years, Acevedo Buontempo had jobs in Hispanic marketing and advertising as a brand manager and account executive with different companies, including the Font & Vaamonde division of Grey Advertising, Block Drug Company Inc., Bestfoods and Conill Advertising.

Acevedo Buontempo said she left the industry after having children, but eventually decided to go back to work, this time for a nonprofit — Katonah-based Community Center of Northern Westchester — where she

WCBJ

became assistant director.

“It was that experience that really inspired me to dedicate myself to nonprofit as a second career path,” she said. “I wanted to give back to my community and be of service to my community as opposed to selling product.” To help do that, she went back to Pace for a master’s degree in public administration.

Around this time, in 2009, Acevedo Buontempo’s eldest daughter entered her senior year of high school. This was when Acevedo Buontempo became aware of the challenging college application process.

“The fact that I felt overwhelmed by it and here I was educated, bilingual with resources and I said, ‘This is not right,’” she said.

From there, Acevedo Buontempo researched and framed the nonprofit idea for her capstone project at Pace, which is how she uncovered the difficulties many first-generation Latino students face when it comes to SAT preparation, having college essays reviewed, filling out the applications for schools and funding. Students like Becerra, she said, who are strong academically but have parents unfamiliar with how to navigate applying for college, often fall through the cracks and are afraid to take on those burdens themselves.

Latino U provides what Acevedo Buontempo said is culturally relevant, bilingual information to parents and students, including information sessions and meetings about admissions and paying for college, subsidized SAT and ACT preparatory classes at $50 — many are offered around $300 — and seminars on college essays, scholarships and financial aid applications as well as a mentor program pairing high school seniors with a volunteer to meet on a weekly basis about college materials.

Acevedo Buontempo said she has seen students’ SAT scores increase 200 to 300 points after taking the prep class. Latino U has about 50 volunteers mentoring more than 20 seniors this year. The program’s 18 alumni have gone on to school’s including Cornell University, Princeton University, Boston University and University of Maryland.

“What has been the greatest challenge, and where we are now, is building our capacity vis a vis fundraising and corporate support,” she said, which has become a large focus for Acevedo Buontempo and her two full-time staff to propel the organization forward.

But what has been unwavering, she said, is the “faith and commitment that I have in the power of education to change lives.”

he New York state Legislature should authorize localities in New York to do what New Jersey has authorized its localities to do — provide residents with the opportunity to benefit financially if they shop local.

A few years ago New Jersey authorized its localities to implement a shop-local program that benefits taxpayers. A portion of the normal purchasing dollars spent annually on goods and services is applied against consumers’ property tax bills, thereby reducing taxes at the end of the year.

One community, Marlboro Township, initiated the program and it is a win-win. The Marlboro Township Economic Development Committee has initiated a Shop Marlboro program promoting local businesses and enriching the sustainable goals of a wellorganized shop-local campaign. There is an uptick in business and more businesses are participating.

The Shop Marlboro property tax reward program is available to all property owners

with no cost to residents. When coded Shop Marlboro cards donated by Investors Bank are used at establishments participating in the program, a percentage of each sale is applied toward the resident’s property tax bill. It is not a credit card.

During 2014, Marlboro businesses realized more than $1 million in sales and residents saved nearly $65,000 on their property taxes. There are currently 50 local businesses participating in the tax incentive program with about 3,500 residential properties registered. I have been in touch with another New Jersey community, Manalapan, and they also have reported successes with the program.

We all want our taxes to go down. This program helps reduce real estate taxes. We all want our local stores to be more successful. This initiative encourages shoppers to shop locally. I have written to the governor, state legislators and to our business leaders encouraging them to support this program for New York communities.

City, said he was in favor of the bill because of its potential to benefit the environment. He already uses recycled cardboard to package leftovers for his customers.

“I agree 100 percent with the bill,” he said.

“For me, it’s environmental. The (containers) I use cost 10 cents more, but it’s worth it.”

Roughly 100 U.S. municipalities have passed laws limiting the use of polystyrene, including New York City and Albany and Suffolk counties as well as Minneapolis, San Francisco, Oakland, Portland and Seattle.

McDonald’s announced in September 2013 it

Millennials — From page 1

Briarcliff Manor, estimated that more than half of his firm’s buyers are millennials, a figure he said is hard to track because asking about age is a fair housing violation. Nationally, the millennial age group is estimated to make up about a third of the home-buying market, according to a 2015 National Association of Realtors report, which considers millennials to be anyone under 34. “(Millennial) purchasing power is growing and is going to be the bulk of the economy in the coming years. We owe it to ourselves, in any industry, to learn what makes them tick and serve the demand,” Faranda, who has been in real estate for 20 years, said.

Ken Jacobi, a treasury associate manager at Purchase-based PepsiCo Inc., is a millennial in the home-buying market who said the process has been strenuous at times. He has rented in Stamford for about five years. He and his girlfriend began looking at buying a house more than a year ago.

“It became very clear the market in Fairfield County and Westchester was ridiculously expensive and you really have to plan out how it’s going to work,” he said. “It made sense to rent for a little longer, and re-look at the situation” after saving more money.

Now, Jacobi said they are starting to look

would phase out its well-known polystyrene cups in favor of paper-based ones.

Abinanti’s bill has drawn support from the Natural Resources Defense Council, a New York City-based environmental action group. Eric A. Goldstein, a senior attorney with the organization, said compostable containers made from sugar cane or corn are available at a minimal cost difference as well as refillable cups for beverages.

He cited a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency figure that estimates 25 billion nonrecyclable polystyrene foam cups are disposed of improperly each year. The material, Goldstein said, is lightweight and travels eas-

ily through storm drains where it eventually litters beaches and waterways after breaking into tiny pieces.

“They’re useful for a minute, but an environmental problem for centuries,” Goldstein said.

The reason major cities, including green cities like Portland, Seattle and San Jose aren’t recycling polystyrene is because it isn’t economically feasible, he said. The village of Ossining Board of Trustees in June approved a resolution in support of a proposed county law that would limit the use of plastic bags and polystyrene containers by retail stores. That bill was introduced to the Westchester County

Board of Legislators last November by Rye Democrat Catherine Parker and co-sponsored

by Ossining Democrat Catherine Borgia.

Abinanti, who admitted he has already received pushback from the restaurant industry, called his bill “doable” and did not anticipate much resistance from diners.

“You don’t have to worry about the presentation of food in a doggy bag and you don’t have to worry about the temperature of the food,” Abinanti said.

“We’re not impacting the number of containers being used,” he said. “Just the type of container. Which is an appropriate thing for government to do.”

again with the hope of closing on a singlefamily house or town house by next August.

In addition to the house prices, Jacobi said student loan debt has made the process challenging.

“You have to get a lot more creative and work a lot harder because of the fact that you have a really expensive market and a lot of other expenses that our parents didn’t have,” he said.

Jacobi said this time around he is more aware of sacrifices he’ll have to consider, like size or moving to a cheaper area like New Haven County, in order to be a first-time homebuyer in the next year or so.

Anne Marie Gianutsos, digital director of Houlihan Lawrence Real Estate, an independently-owned firm with more than 20 offices in the suburbs north of New York City, said trends in millennial home-buying are running counter to those of the previous generation.

“Overall, (millennials have) accumulated less wealth in their lives than previous generations,” she said. And therefore, “we notice people wanting to live beneath their means rather than stretch more than what they could afford.”

Perhaps the biggest challenge for brokers will be transitioning the generation from renting — which millennials are doing longer than previous generations — or living in their parents’ homes, another trend for this age group, into their own houses.

Real estate competition is stiff in the region, with an increasing number of transit-oriented rental developments, which are designed to attract millennials — who value accessibility and walkability — opening and under construction.

Martin Ginsburg, founder and principal of Ginsburg Development Cos., said millennials might be more likely to remain renters because they saw their parents deal with the housing crisis during the Great Recession.

Gail Fattizzi, a broker and executive director of Eastchester-based Westchester Real Estate Inc., said millennials are exercising caution in the housing market, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

“There’s an understanding real estate can create wealth if they’re smart about it,” she said. “(Millennials) don’t want to make the mistake their parents or family members made in over-extending themselves; they’re more cautious that way.”

Faranda said he’s also noticed millennials are more cautious.

“They’ve lived in Brooklyn. They’ve lived in Manhattan,” he said. “They may be inclined to rent to see the community first, prior to committing to living in a community because renting allows them to be a little more agile and nimble about where they’ll put down their roots forever.”

Ultimately, Faranda said, the suburbs are where people move to settle down, often after marrying.

“That’s not strictly a millennial thing; that’s always been a trend,” he said, but “it’s a little more pronounced these days.”

That was the case for Leanne Arnow and her husband. Both are from Westchester and decided to come back to the suburbs after spending years in New York City. In a situation contrary to some other millennials, Arnow said she and her husband were able to achieve their home-buying goals even though, “our generation is maybe the first one that can’t really afford to live in the kind of place they grew up.”

Arnow said some of her friends have moved to Portland, Seattle and other cheaper areas in the country. “We had been renting apartments in the city for years before we decided to move,” she said. “We wanted a place where we could set down our roots and have our kids live like our childhood.”

The process of buying a house, Arnow said, is challenging no matter how old someone is, but it didn’t deter her and her husband from moving.

Getting over hesitations about the buying process and seeing peers buy homes will help millennials have a better idea of what to expect, Fattizzi said.

“At the end of it, they become homeowners,” he said. “Is still part of the American dream for whatever generation — and, yes, that changes ... from generation to generation — but I think it’s still something that most people strive for.”

hen Mike Geller was 29 years old, he reached a crossroads in his life. After years in the media and entertainment industries, he quit and left his home in Greenwich to live in the Kalahari Desert for more than three months.

“I completely reconnected with nature,” he said.

He arrived in Africa disenchanted with the U.S. food system, particularly, he recalls, after reading about a company that found a way to make ground beef deemed only suitable for dog food eligible for school lunches through a chemical process involving ammonia.

“I am all for making money and capitalism, but I couldn’t wrap my mind around it,” he said.

This small insight into the food system, combined with finding some of the best produce he had ever had in a Botswana market, helped propel Geller into a whole new career and industry — taking the plunge as an entrepreneur in the local, sustainable food movement.

“At that point, I had an epiphany; I wanted to learn about food. I went to lectures, read books; I immersed myself in this whole sustainable farming culture of the Northeast,” he said. “I came back here and said ‘No more.’”

After more than six years, Geller’s Stamford-based food delivery service, Mike’s Organics Delivery, is connecting farmer’s fields to the doorsteps of consumers and he’s making money doing it.

Within a 50-mile radius from his Stamford warehouse, Geller and two full-time workers associates pick up sustainably and organically farmed produce and meat from more than two dozen farms in Connecticut and New York before packaging and delivering customers’ orders within days of the produce being pulled from the ground.

The company makes more than 400 deliveries per week and has reached an estimated $1 million in sales per year, Geller said.

With a $25,000 inheritance, Geller started the company from his parents’ home in Greenwich, delivering eggs with his Nissan Pathfinder. The company has now grown to include five commercial delivery vehicles and expanded its sourcing to include wild fish stocks from Alaska, organically grown nuts from California and other produce not found on the East Coast.

Geller and his workers visit and research the farms they work with extensively, from the way animals and produce are raised and grown to the working conditions for the farm hands. The foundation of his company rests on relationships with the farmers, Geller said.

“They’re people, not suppliers; they are friends and family, they are people we see every week,” he said. “That connection with them allows us to truly establish that bridge between the consumer and farmer.”

His goal is to reach more than 1,000 deliveries per week and increase sales to $5 million annually. » ORGANIC, page 17

Grant Park housing development opens in Yonkers

BY JOHN GOLDEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

Y

onkers officials and their private development partners in revitalizing the city’s Ashburton Avenue corridor recently celebrated the completion

of Grant Park II, a 56-unit affordable housing development on the site of the former Mulford Gardens public housing complex.

The $24 million construction project at 1 Whetstone Ave. is the fourth and final phase of a public-private venture that has

TH

replaced blighted and crime-ridden city housing with 240 units of affordable housing for low-income residents and seniors in the Ashburton Avenue neighborhood.

Grant Park II includes one-, two- and three- bedroom townhouse-style apartments

/ 6:15 P.M.

for tenants with physical disabilities and income that is no more than 60 percent of the area median income for households. The complex includes a community clubhouse, fitness center, computer center and management office.

Designed for energy conservation and efficiency, Grant Park II has received gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program and federal Energy Star certification, according to a city spokesperson.

The project’s private developers are Landex Development LLC of Linthicum, Md., and the Richman Group Development Corp. of Greenwich, which partnered with the Yonkers Municipal Housing Authority in the joint venture.

Financial contributors to the project were the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s HOPE VI program; New York State Homes and Community Renewal; the Richman Group Affordable Housing Corp.; Yonkers Industrial Development Agency and Bank of America Merrill Lynch, which provided construction financing for three of the four phases of the Mulford Gardens redevelopment, including $24 million in debt and equity financing for Grant Park II. Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano at the Oct. 19 ribbon-cutting ceremony said the opening marks “the continued renewal of one of our most vital neighborhoods. I can’t think of a better example of government and the private sector working together to replace homes that were substandard with homes that are outstanding.”

“This neighborhood has seen some difficult times,” said New York State Homes & Community Renewal Commissioner and CEO James S. Rubin at the ribbon cutting. “The residents who will call this home will play a big part in helping to re-invigorate the community — and in the end, that’s what matters.”

Peter Siegel, CEO of Landex Development, called the opening of the final phase of the public housing project “a testimony to the importance of public and private partnership. The revitalization included the city of Yonkers, the state of New York, a private lender, a private equity investor and joint-venture partnership among two private developers and the Municipal Housing Authority for the city of Yonkers. These entities worked together to untangle conflicting regulations to create an affordable housing development that is environmentally and economically efficient.”

No. 10 for Mrs. Green’s in Westchester

BY EVAN FALLOR evan@westfairinc.com

I

rvington-based Mrs. Green’s Natural Market has opened its 10th store in Westchester County, across from Rye City Hall.

The 9,700-square-foot store at 1037 Boston Post Road is the organic and natural grocer’s 15th in New York state.

Pat Brown, CEO of Natural Market Food Groups, the parent company of Mrs. Green’s, said construction on the store took about four months. It offers a fresh juice and coffee bar, prepared meals, vitamins and organic groceries.

The closest organic grocery competition is the Whole Foods Market a mile up Boston Post Road in Port Chester.

“We think this is a place where there was a great opportunity for natural food,” Brown said. “We’re filling a niche that isn’t yet filled.”

The chain also operates locations in Briarcliff Manor, Eastchester, Hartsdale, Katonah, Larchmont, Mount Kisco, Scarsdale, Tarrytown and Yorktown Heights as well as Fairfield County stores in Fairfield, New Canaan and Stamford. As part of its ongoing

plans for expansion in the New York area, Mrs. Green’s most recently opened a store in Manhattan’s West Village in August.

Last October, Local 1500 of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union filed 13 charges against the Mount Kisco store accusing management of attempting to squelch attempts by employees to unionize in May 2013.

The store allegedly cut hours of workers planning to unionize and used surveillance to monitor employees’ union activities. Ten employees were eventually fired, leading to months of picketing outside the store. Eight of the workers were eventually rehired.

Then-CEO Robin Michel stepped down from her position in May 2014, and Brown assumed the role two months later.

Brown said at the Rye store’s grand opening Oct. 16 all unfair labor practice charges have been cleared. He expects representatives from the United Food and Commercial Workers union would request a vote in the near future.

“Our associates have the right to choose and they are going to be given the opportunity to do so,” he said.

Store manager Amzad Latiff said the

Rye location has 75 employees, 50 of which are full time and 25 part time. Roughly 30 percent are from the immediate Rye area, while others were transferred from other company stores.

“We are just excited to be a part of the community,” Latiff said shortly after doors opened.

The retail location in Rye was previously home to a CVS Pharmacy as well as Lester’s clothing store that now operates out of the Rye Ridge Plaza in Rye Brook.

The city purchased the property for $6.2 million in 2006 with plans to house a new police station and courthouse that would have cost Rye roughly $25 million to build.

The costly plans were eventually abandoned, and the city sold the property to Long Islandbased real estate and gasoline distribution company Bill Wolf Petroleum Corp. for $5.6 million in May 2013.

The Jericho company, operating as 1037 Boston Post Rd LLC, still owns the 0.69-acre property, according to the city land records, and it is leasing the space to Mrs. Green’s.

Rye Mayor Joe Sack said he was happy to see building filled once again.

with growing anticipation for months, as we have observed the continuing improvements to the new location across from City Hall,” Sack said. “We look forward to Mrs. Green’s as a fine addition to Rye’s retail community, and all the great opportunities for Rye shoppers.”

Mrs. Green’s, which opened its first supermarket in Briarcliff Manor in 1990, was acquired by Canadian grocer Planet Organic in 2007. After declaring bankruptcy three years later, its assets were acquired by Toronto-based equity firm Catalyst Capital Group. Natural Markets Food Group also operates Canadian-based grocers Planet Organic Markets and Richtree Natural Markets Restaurants.

Mrs. Green’s has made expansion a point of emphasis in recent years, and now operates stores in New York, Connecticut, New Jersey and Illinois.

Grocery manager Lentz Boyer, who has been with the company for four months, said he enjoys working in Rye because of its expansive public parking and overall welcoming attitude.

“The people are so kind here,” Boyer said.

“People said ‘Good morning’ and the town is so clean.”

Investing used to be a whole lot simpler.

Traditionally, if stocks were outperforming, bonds were not. Therefore, as long as your portfolio had a healthy mix of each, you’d be poised to prosper. This isn’t necessarily the case anymore, as dealing with finances has grown more complicated in recent years.

When the financial crisis hit the U.S., the recessionary effects were felt around the world. Today, the U.S. economy is still recovering, and central banks in Europe and Japan grapple with ways to reinvigorate their economies.

The crisis taught us that portfolios composed solely of stocks and bonds (for instance, large caps and government debt) were vulnerable to loss. Having a truly diversified portfolio, with a robust blend of investments across and within different asset classes – including public and private investments – offers the best chance at reaping the highest possible return while managing volatility. So what’s an investor to do?

Develop a plan. To get where you want to go, you need a map with clear goals and

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

Sign of a healing economy? Small business lending up

BY REECE ALVAREZ

L

ralvarez@westfairinc.com

ending through the federal Small Business Administration this past fiscal year was up — way up, according to administration data.

The amount of small-business loans issued in the state this fiscal year increased by 22 percent over the previous year, with 644 loans made totaling nearly $200 million.

In fiscal year 2014, 527 loans were made totaling more than $177 million.

The news bodes well for the economy and particularly Wells Fargo, which ranked as the highest SBA lender in the state by dollar amount this year with more than $20 million in loans issued.

“We are seeing a gradually improving economy, healthier businesses; an economy that is stabilizing and growing slightly,” Joe Vanella, head of Wells Fargo’s Small Business Administration Northeast lending division, said. “Businesses have been stronger, we have seen healthier balance sheets in the small

biz market and the customers are looking to expand, open new locations, purchase equipment; all of that has spurred an increase in activity.”

While Wells Fargo holds the title for most SBA-backed dollars loaned out in the state — a first for the company and a point of pride, Vanella said — the most SBA loans were actually issued by Connecticut’s Farmington Bank with 66 loans totaling more than $5.5 million.

Wells Fargo issued 45 loans in fiscal year 2015, ranking fourth.

While more loans and more money were issued this year, the average loan amount decreased by 14 percent, dropping from nearly $364,000 to just over $311,000 — possibly an indication that more small loans are being made to smaller businesses, the heart of the state economy, said William Tierney, a lender relations specialist for the SBA’s Connecticut district office.

“We are reaching a lot more small business and that is the focal point,” he said.

Michelle Orr, a Wells Fargo business development officer specializing in SBA loans

for the Connecticut region, has been part of that focus, She said she has seen an increase in lending activity coupled with a greater emphasis on lender and consumer outreach and education by Wells Fargo.

In the past 12 months, Orr has facilitated loans ranging from $250,000 to $3.7 million, the latter being in Fairfield County for a daycare operation in Stamford.

Conversely, microloans, those under $50,000, were flat in fiscal year 2015 at 39 with a 22 percent decrease across the board for the average loan amount and total funds loaned.

In fiscal year 2014, lenders issued 39 microloans for a total of $1.1 million at an average loan amount of nearly $30,000.

This past fiscal year the average loan amount dropped to almost $24,000 for a total of $900,000.

While Orr has seen an emphasis on real estate lending, Tierney said restaurants and the food industry have comprised the largest segment of SBA loans in the state. He called that an especially important economic indicator.

“They really are the spark of the economy

because they employ a lot of folks who otherwise would not have those opportunities for employment. If you see the growth in the food service industry, it means people are spending more and have confidence in the economy. They are going out to eat again. In the recession, they weren’t doing that,” he said. “People were cutting back on employment and we are starting to see that growth come back again.”

Like Orr and Vanella, Tierney attributes this year’s increase in lending to a determined focus by the SBA and lenders to educate small businesses owners on the benefits that can be made available to them through SBE lending.

“We have made a lot of progress reaching out to rural lenders, smaller community banks that have just started to utilize our program,” he said. We are trying to make it easier for small businesses to have access to capital.”

To that extent, the SBA plans to roll out a new program called SBA 1 to “get consumers that yes answer much more quickly,” Tierney said, “cutting down on red tape and all the other stuff government is known for.”

Judgments up, no end seen to Westchester foreclosure crisis

BY JOHN GOLDEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

W

hite Plains attorney Peter Spino Jr. cited a number he’d tallied from the Westchester state court calendar for October and November to assess the current state of the county’s mortgage and foreclosure crisis: 56.

That’s the number of requests for judicial intervention, or RJIs, brought by lenders’ attorneys in foreclosure cases in the county in roughly the last two months. Spino represents defaulting homeowners in foreclosure defense, loan modifications and short sales of their properties.

“That’s still a significant number,” he said.

“That’s not as much as at its peak, but it’s still a lot.”

Westchester County Clerk Timothy C. Idoni would agree. His office this month in a third-quarter report said 871 foreclosure judgments were issued in state Supreme Court in Westchester County through September this year. That is 99 more than the total foreclosure judgments issued in the county in 2014, when judgments against owners defaulting on mortgage loans more than doubled from

the previous year.

The county is on pace by year’s end to surpass the record-setting 1,034 judgments in 2008 in the depths of the mortgage crisis.

“These numbers are indicative of an alarming trend in New York state, especially in suburban areas, that the foreclosure crisis is far from over,” Idoni said when releasing the report.

Attorneys for lenders and loan servicers through September this year filed 1,697 foreclosure actions — the first step in a typically protracted court process that can end in a bank auction sale and possible eviction from one’s former home. That is about the same pace of filings through three quarters as in 2014, when the state court in White Plains had 2,326 foreclosure filings for the year.

“These judges have stacks of hundreds of backlogged foreclosure cases,” Spino said.

“They’re sick of it.”

“We don’t read about it anymore,” he said of the continued rash of foreclosures in the county and nationwide. An attorney for 15 years, ‘I’ve been doing this (foreclosure defense) seven or eight years. I thought it would end three or four years ago.” Some of his foreclosure cases are 5 and 6 years old, he said.

Spino said bank attorneys have told him

AUTOMATIC HOME STANDBY GENERATORS IT’S ONE OF THE BEST INVESTMENTS I’VE EVER MADE IN THIS HOUSE. - David Panzarella

REAL GENERAC OWNERS AGREE At Generac, we’re happy to talk about how great our automatic home standby generators are. But don’t take our word for it. Listen to what our satisfied customers have to say. After all, they’re the ones who made Generac the #1 selling brand of home standby generators in America. They’ll tell you that Generac gives them peace of mind and the power to live.

And that just about says it all.

many of their current foreclosure actions involve homeowners defaulting on loan modifications worked out with their lenders. They agreed to modified mortgage payments in order to keep their homes, “but they were stretching their finances to do that,” he said.

For mortgage borrowers in default, “The only way to save your home still is to get a loan modification.”

The surge in judgments in the county this year “is just a byproduct of these cases coming to conclusion,” Spino said.

Some homeowners avoid foreclosure and eviction by selling their properties, with their lenders’ approval, at prices below their outstanding mortgage debt.

“There are still a significant amount of short sales all over the place and that’s a byproduct of foreclosures,” Spino said.

At Westchester Residential Opportunities Inc. in White Plains, foreclosure prevention director Veronica Raphael said staff has seen homeowners returning for mortgage default counseling after defaulting on loan modifications that either came with unaffordable terms or could not be paid because of lost employment or other factors.

For struggling owners with loan modifi-

cations, “One little slip and they’re back into foreclosure,” Raphael said.

“We’re seeing a lot of delays” by banks in working out modifications or moving ahead with foreclosure, Raphael said. She said some home-owning clients in default have been living in their homes for more than three years without a resolution.

Others in Westchester have been evicted from bank-owned houses that stay vacant for two or three years. “That adds blight to the neighborhood,” Raphael said.

“There has never been any real solution” to the foreclosure crisis, she said. “The banks are encouraged to give modifications; they’re not forced to. I think that’s been a mistake.”

“I don’t see it changing any time soon,” she said. “It really depends on the servicers and the government to come up with a better plan now that they’ve been into this six or seven years. It’s not a cookie-cutter solution. One solution is not going to solve all the issues.”

Westchester residents who have lost their homes in a foreclosure action enter a “really tight” rental market in the county, Spino said.

“Going out and trying to find a rental is very hard to do when your credit’s destroyed and it’s a tight market,” the attorney said.

Standard Amusements given five-month Playland extension

W

estchester County and Standard Amusements have agreed to a five-month extension of the option agreement for the company to manage the county-owned park and invest $25 million in it, officials said Monday.

Standard, a privately held company, will pay the county $25,000 for the extension, which expands the end of the option period from Oct. 16, 2015, to March 31, 2016. Standard now has until that date to decide whether to go forward with the management agreement.

If it does, county officials said Standard will take over management of the Rye amusement

Geller said he has been approached by investors and frequently hears he should expand to other regions, but there is more than money created through the company.

“You can’t just throw money at this, authenticity is extremely important,” he said.

“We all believe it is our responsibility to help our community. We all grew up in this area.”

Integrity is as much a part of what Geller sells as the produce itself, and both are based on the relationship with the farmer.

“The two words we use all the time are transparency and connection,” he said. “If you look at our food system as it is, those are the things that we’ve lost.”

Geller and company participate in a number of community outreach programs, from educational presentations and gardening demonstrations for young students to donations to local charitable organizations like Neighbor to Neighbor and Kids in Crisis.

In keeping with his commitment to the community, Geller intends to grow his business in Fairfield County and is expecting “exponential” growth in the industry, citing trends toward online grocery shopping and the erosion of trust in big-name competition.

“The premise of going to the store, that model has to change. In most businesses, you are worried about the big guy coming and knocking you out. In this instance, it is harder for that to happen because people don’t trust the big guy,” he said. “Competition-wise, I am aware and always looking, but not terribly concerned.”

park next year, and it is on schedule to open in the spring for the 2016 season.

Standard Amusements partner and Harrison native Nicholas Singer said his company has committed $1.4 million to the revitalization of Playland and predicts its investment will exceed $25 million.

“If Standard Amusements wasn’t interested in investing in Playland, we wouldn’t have asked for the extension,” Singer said.

“We simply need more time to conduct the due diligence necessary to ensure that our development and completion of the project will be successful.”

Westchester County Executive Robert P.

Astorino said the extension was “reasonable and understandable.”

“One of the strengths of this deal is that it is a public-private partnership, but it also adds a layer of complexity that requires adequate time to be managed successfully,” Astorino said. “The goal is to save Playland for future generations and the extension means everyone remains focused on the goal.”

As part of the 15-year agreement approved unanimously by the county Board of Legislators in June, Standard Amusements will pay Westchseter $2.25 million up front in non-refundable payments, $500,000 of which the county said it has already received.

Standard will then invest $22.75 million in renovating the park within five years. In addition, Standard will make annual payments to the county starting at $300,000 and increasing two percent per year.

Westchester will receive 7.5 percent of the park’s profits once Standard has recouped its initial investment.

Under the agreement, Standard will manage the amusement park, parking lot, beach, pool area and boardwalk. Not included in the agreement are the Children’s Museum, Pier Restaurant & Tiki Bar, Edith Read Sanctuary and the Ice Casino.

he first phase of a $100 million master plan to revitalize Pace University’s Pleasantville campus inched closer to completion as the grand opening of the new Alumni Hall residential build-

The 125,000-square-foot Alumni Hall opened for students last month.

September, houses 540 students in suite-style dorms and includes two classrooms, study areas, lounges and a coffee shop on the first floor scheduled to open next month. Each suite houses four students and includes dryerase walls in its hallways.

The Environmental Center Complex includes a classroom building, a replica of the school’s former farmhouse building and a museum featuring various animals.

Pace University President Stephen J. Friedman said the additions are meant to create a “new sense of student life” at the 200-acre Pleasantville campus, adding he is excited to complete the school’s master plan in the coming years.

“This is symbolic of the new Pace,” Friedman said. “This area used to be roads and parking lots. Now it’s filled with students and classrooms. The buildings are truly extraordinary.”

A second residence hall adjacent to Alumni Hall is expected to be completed by next summer and will open to students in fall 2016. The new dorms will allow students living at the school’s Briarcliff Manor campus who commute to Pleasantville after classes to remain on the same campus.

The second dorm will mark the completion of the first phase of the master plan, after which the plan’s focus will shift away from its 861 Bedford Road campus. The next phase will focus on Pace’s Manhattan campus at 1 Pace Plaza.

In June, Pace announced it was selling its 37-acre, nine-building campus at 235 Elm Road in Briarcliff Manor as well as its 82,000-square-foot, five-floor Lubin Graduate Center space at 1 Martine Ave. in White Plains as part of a plan to consolidate its campuses and create a central, expanded campus in Pleasantville.

The opening of Alumni Hall and the Environmental Center Complex follows the April reopening of the renovated Jeanette and Morris Kessel Student Center and the recently completed Peter X. Finnerty baseball field and the new Pace Stadium. University officials said the new 14,000-square-foot Ianniello Field House, named after CBS Corp.

COO and Pace Trustee Joseph Ianniello — who donated $2 million for its construction — is scheduled to be completed in November.

Pace Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer for Westchester William J. McGrath said the new Pleasantville buildings were designed around creating a sense of community in the center of campus.

The school added 40 more students this fall than it did last year.

“We’ve gone from being way behind the pack to having world-class facilities,” he said of the recent improvements.

Mount Pleasant Town Supervisor Carl Fulgenzi called the university’s master plan a “positive development” for Mount Pleasant, adding he was “ecstatic” to see the completion of Alumni Hall.

Those who attended the event also included Westchester County Executive Robert P. Astorino, Dyson College of Arts and Sciences Dean Nira Herrmann and Pace Trustee Mark M. Besca.

Astorino called Westchester the “intellectual capital” of New York due to its number of degree holders and joked that, due to the recent campus revitalization, he would attend Pace over Fordham if he had to do college all over again. He said the county’s Local Development Corp. provided Pace with $98 million in tax-exempt bonds to finance the project.

“I’m just happy Westchester County could play a small role in this,” Astorino said. “This is what 21st century education is all about.”

Herrmann said the new environmental complex allows the school to expand its programs, including a new master’s degree offering in environmental policy, as well as its faculty. The new institute will oversee all environmental programs, she said, and honey and eggs will be produced at the new replica farmhouse. First-year students will take “University 101,” a required freshman seminar, at one of Alumni Hall’s two classrooms.

“This is the first time we’ve had all of our environmental programs contiguous,” Herrmann, who has been on the Pace faculty for a decade, said. “Everyone here is just really excited.”

rience in the Hudson Valley with this project,” Vassar Brothers Medical Center President Robert Friedberg said. “We will now continue the good work and partnership we have begun with the City of Poughkeepsie and Dutchess County so construction can begin next summer.”

Construction is scheduled to begin in July 2016 and the hospital expects to begin admitting patients by January 2019.

At $466 million, hospital officials said it is believed to be the largest construction project in the city’s history. Officials also estimated between 300 to 400 construction jobs will be created through the project.

The project is funded by private hospital funds and bonds as well as a continuing fundraising campaign by The Foundation for Vassar Brothers Medical Center.

Vassar Brothers Medical Center is the flagship of LaGrangeville-based Health Quest Systems, Inc., which also operates Northern Dutchess Hospital in Rhinebeck and Putnam Hospital Center in Carmel. Health Quest Board of Directors Chairman Greg Rakow called the new facility a “landmark” for the region.

“We are now one major step closer to opening what will be one of the finest medical facilities, not just in the Hudson Valley or New York state, but in the country,” Rakow said.

Vassar Brothers Medical Center, at 45 Reade Place in Poughkeepsie, has been in operation since 1887 and includes the Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and the Division of NeuroInterventional Surgery.

■ How can that purpose make life better?

Under ideal circumstances, the brand’s purpose will help solve the most burning issues faced by clients and prospects. But what’s the best way to discern the true heart of your purpose? By holding question-andanswer sessions you can uncover the fundamental truth of your brand, its messaging, and how it can help people lead better lives.

The right questions will not only reveal your larger vision, but also show how your messaging is: ■ Relevant ■ Meaningful ■ Motivating ■ Believable ■ Memorable

Messaging helps define how your clients think and feel about you. It outlines their relationship with your company, and differentiates you from the competition. If you’ve hit upon the right message, your story is instantly sharable; clients and prospects will have no choice but to listen and respond.

Given how stakeholders have a hard time seeing their work objectively, any discussion about brand and messaging can benefit from the presence of a neutral third party to help propel the conversation in the right direction.

This third party can help you take the long view and evaluate why your brand is important and unique.

While the third party could include friends, colleagues can offer another great perspective. Those who really want to dig into the process might also think about hiring a professional strategist with broader industry experience. From within the company, at least three people should attend with in-depth knowledge of the

nuances of the company.

This conversation is known as the Discovery Process. It requires research into your history, competition, industry trends and your perception of the future. The answers that emerge during the process will allow you to refine: ■ Your backstory ■ Your point of view ■ Your professional philosophy ■ Your company’s overall tone and voice ■ The lasting impression you’d like to make The conversation must truly be an open dialogue; no one party should dominate.

Like tough love, the process can only work if everybody engages in an honest dialogue, shares every idea in a supportive environment and pledges to treat each idea with respect. You’ll know when ideas have potential, because they’ll resonate on a deep level. If your gut says you should continue down a particular avenue, your gut is

probably right.

These drill-downs can also be time consuming; patience is needed. The payoff will prove worth it when you finally crack the fundamental truth of the brand in a way that allows you to determine both your competitive differential and your trajectory as a business.

Everybody is looking for the reason behind what they do. That reason should truly resonate in the hearts and minds of their audience. As the industrialist Henry Ford once said, “A business that makes nothing but money is a poor business.” Through dialogue, you can build a brand that fully expresses a purpose and message, while allowing you to address the issues that confront today’s world.

ASK ANDI

BY ANDI GRAY

Workforce management through business cycles I don’t know what to do in the slow months. Trying to hang on to when we’re slow has left us stretched for cash going into the next busy cycle every year.

But it’s getting harder to find good new people and I don’t want to lose people after we’ve worked so hard to train them.

I also don’t want to get caught short with too few people to handle our next busy period.

THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: Businesses with cycles have to have a full-year game plan. Be realistic about what you can and cannot afford to do.

Figure out why it’s so hard to make enough profit and then work on that root cause.

Peaks and valleys of income can be really hard for a variety of reasons. Employees cost money even when they’re not working full tilt.

Businesses look most profitable at the end of a busy season, when they’re about to become least profitable because of a down season.

Overhead costs don’t go away just because the volume of work drops off. Escalating

vendor costs chew up profits when sharper negotiation would have headed those costs off. Few businesses have enough in reserves, nor do they have a plan to build more. Some owners take too much out of the business at the end of a busy season and get caught short. Last of all, most business owners don’t understand how much profit they really do, or don’t, earn.

YOU DO HAVE OPTIONS. Flex hours, job sharing, telecommuting, sabbaticals, time off for education and extended vacations can all be tools in your arsenal. So can looking to share employees with other companies that have cycles opposite yours. And of course unemployment insurance is meant to soften the blow for employees who have to deal with seasonal work opportunities.

Know how much you can afford in excess payroll during the slow months. Build a plan to keep people busy with cross-training, skill building and vacations. Ask people if they want to take off extra time, on their dime — you may be surprised to find that extra time off is valuable — especially to millennials.

Manage the total workload. Schedule service and other routine work for slow

times. When busy, resist the temptation to go to overtime, which burns up cash. Put busy time profit into reserves to make payroll when it’s slow.

Make sure employees understand and are supportive of your strategy. Make it clear they can’t have it both ways; lots of overtime or excess spending during busy periods eliminates the possibility of full pay during slow times. If cuts are necessary, ask employees to choose: let go of some people, or share the pain by reducing everyone’s hours enough.

Do reviews of job profitability and overall employee performance at the end of a busy season. Match reviews up with work downturn and make tough, but necessary, decisions on whom to cut.

Set a goal for payroll-to-invoices ratio. As work winds down, have a plan for who goes and who stays. Resist the temptation to wait too long; every week you overspend on payroll eats away at reserves.

If you do furlough people you’d want to bring back when it gets busy, make sure to get their slow season contact information. Start recruiting for the busy season when things

are really quiet. Don’t wait. Stagger employee returns, a few each week, until you’re back at peak workforce.

Make sure you’re actually charging enough for the work you do. It costs money to flex a workforce up and down. If the business winds up unprofitable at the end of each season, ask your employees to help you figure it out. Focus on fixing the root causes, so you don’t have to keep dealing with the craziness of the ups and downs. After all, your job as owner is to be realistic and manage the business for the long term.

Experts question state’s contention that more lanes will cut traffic

BY HUGH BAILEY

I

Hearst Media Connecticut

t’s known as the fundamental law of road congestion, and it boils down to this — you can’t build your way out of traffic jams.

Building more lanes on a highway leads, perhaps surprisingly, to more traffic, as people who might otherwise avoid the road are instead attracted by the added capacity. The result is highways at four lanes quickly becoming just as clogged as they ever were with three.

State transportation officials are well aware of this phenomenon, and don’t question its premise. Still, they have plans to spend tens of billions of dollars to widen Interstates 95 and 84, which, combined with other facets of a 30-year plan, they say will finally help tame the Connecticut traffic beast.

“The question is, how do you relieve congestion and then prevent future overwhelming of that widened facility,” Tom Maziarz, chief of planning at the state Department of Transportation, said. “You can’t build your way out of congestion, so we’re trying to combine it with a multimodal strategy that improves rail service, as well.”

In addition, Maziarz said there’s no way to control highway use without introducing tolls, with different prices at various times to discourage peak-time driving.

“For the widening to work, it really needs to combine with some type of congestion pricing,” he said. “By doing that, we should be able to sustain the extra capacity.”

Transportation Institute.

“Right now, the focus is on Bridgeport to Stamford, which is the most congested,” Maziarz said. “In a typical workday there, the traffic backup starts in Bridgeport by about 6:30 in the morning, with a two- to three-mile backup. Then it grows to five to 10 miles, and it maxes out at about 20 miles, almost all the way to Stamford.”

The length of rush hour has also expanded. “It used to be the peak was two hours. In » » TRAFFIC, page 28

Traffic along Interstate 84 near Exit 8 in Danbury, Conn.

GRAND PLANS Widening I-84 from the New York state line to Waterbury and I-95 for its entire length by one lane in each direction is only one part of the massive 30-year, $100 billion transportation overhaul unveiled this year by Gov. Dannel P. Malloy. The plan also includes money for trains and buses, harbors and airports, walkways and bicycle paths.

It’s part of an “all-of-the-above” approach the state has adopted toward what it considers one of the most critical threats to its economic health — the inability for people and goods to move around at a decent speed.

The Bridgeport-Stamford corridor, which is among the state’s top priorities, was ranked as the nation’s No. 2 location for congestion among medium-sized urban areas, according to a study this year by the Texas A&M

INBRIEF NEW YORK UNEMPLOYMENT RATE LOWEST SINCE 2008 RECESSION The state’s unemployment rate dropped to 5.1 percent in September, the same as the national unemployment rate, and is the lowest percentage of people out of work in New York since the beginning of the recession in April 2008.

This time last year, the unemployment rate was 6 percent in New York.

The decreasing unemployment rate is complemented by private sector job additions in the state, which total 11,400 over the last year, according to the state Department of Labor. Westchester, Orange and Rockland counties added a total of 4,900 jobs in the private sector since September 2014, a 0.8 percent increase.

The leisure and hospitality workforce in the tri-county area saw the biggest leap in employment, with a 5.7 percent increase, or 3,600 employees since last September. The total workforce in that sector, which, along with education and health services jobs have seen consistent growth this year, is about 67,100 jobs.

Education and health services jobs increased 3.9 percent in Orange, Rockland and Westchester counties, with 5,500 employees added over the year. Ambulatory jobs had a nearly 8 percent increase in September 2015 compared to the same period last year, adding 3,300 jobs.

Upticks in the leisure and hospitality and education and health services sectors last month were also reflected in the Hudson Valley jobs market, which increased 2.5 percent and 3.0 percent respectively compared to last year.

Financial services took the biggest jobs hit in the tricounty region last month, losing 1,100 jobs since September 2014, a 3 percent decrease. Natural resources and mining employment dipped 2.1 percent in Westchester, Orange and Rockland counties, losing 800 jobs over the year. The same sector in the Hudson Valley shed more than 1,000 jobs last month, down 2.2 percent from the year before.

CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY COUNCIL OPENS OFFICE IN CENTRAL VALLEY In an effort to keep up with increasing construction projects in the region, the

Tarrytown-based Construction Industry Council of Westchester and Hudson Valley said recently it has opened a second office in Central Valley.

The new office for the trade association, at 219 Route 32, Suite 201B, will help offer more programs and facilitate discussions about the state of the construction industry with legislators, Matthew Pepe, the company’s director of labor and field operations, said.

“This second office is a natural outgrowth of the expansion that has occurred in the Hudson Valley,” Pepe said. “We expect to present more programs, meetings and networking opportunities, working together with public officials, members of organized labor and leaders of industry-aligned trade organizations, such as the Construction Contractors Association in Newburgh, to efficiently respond to the needs of the industry in the area.”

Company President Ross J. Pepe added that, despite recent advances in Internet and mobile communications, most of the challenges faced in the construction industry can be solved through face-to-face interactions.

“As the population and businesses expand into the lower and central Hudson Valley, there is an ever-increasing need to meet with public works officials, government leaders and private developers on a broad range of construction subjects,” he said.

The region’s management and organized labor leaders several years ago united under the banner of the Hudson Valley Construction Industry Partners, Inc., a coalition of more than 600 employers and 30 union locals.

The Construction Industry Council of Westchester and Hudson Valley, a 500-company trade association, will continue to maintain its headquarters at 629 Old White Plains Road in Tarrytown. The Tarrytown office can be reached at 914-631-6070, and the Central Valley office can be reached at 845-827-6677.

includes on-site security, theaters, wine cellars, pools and other amenities. Two new custom homes were also recently unveiled, with prices ranging from $6 million to $13 million.

The first estate, a 15,000-square-foot home at 8 Carriage Trail, sold for $9 million earlier this year.

“Greystone on Hudson is setting a new standard for living in Westchester,” Eklund said. “Just as Brooklyn was discovered as a new residential destination, we feel we have uncovered a true gem in Irvington’s Greystone on Hudson.”

The homes are located between Lyndhurst Castle and the Old Croton Aqueduct Park near the border with Tarrytown on what was formerly known as Millionaires Row. Andy Todd, president of Greystone Mansion Group, the property’s developer, said he looked forward to having Eklund and Gomes on board to market and sell the remaining luxury homes.

“We are thrilled to have a team of true experts behind the marketing and sales of our unique property,” Todd said.

Connecticut job losses in September don’t erase yearly gains

BY REECE ALVAREZ ralvarez@westfairinc.com

W

hile September saw a decline in jobs, the Connecticut Department of Labor reports the state’s unemployment rate continues to fall this year.

According to a recent report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics, Connecticut lost 7,600 jobs, 0.45 percent — seasonally adjusted — last month to a level of 1,693,500. This is the first monthly non-farm jobs decline in five months for the state.

Despite this setback, the state is now estimated to have added a healthy 27,000 nonfarm positions, 1.62 percent, over the year.

In addition, August’s initially estimated non-farm job gain of 3,200, 0.19 percent, was revised much higher to a 5,400, 0.32 percent, increase that put the state’s estimated seasonally adjusted non-agricultural employment above 1.7 million for the first time in Connecticut’s recovery from the Great Recession.

The reported unemployment rate has

also decreased. Calculated using residential survey data from the Current Population Survey, the rate was estimated at 5.2 percent, seasonally adjusted, for this past September.

This is down one-tenth of a percentage point from the revised August figure of 5.3 percent and down one and a tenth of a percentage points from the September 2014 unemployment rate of 6.3 percent.

According to the report, Connecticut’s unemployment rate has not been this low since April 2008, when it was 5.2 percent, and the number of unemployed residents has now fallen below 100,000 for the first time since April 2008.

“September job losses were widespread, but annual job growth still remains relatively strong,” Andy Condon, director of the Office of Research, said. “Some of the apparent decline is due to technical seasonal adjustment issues and does not represent actual job loss. This is particularly true in the educationrelated sectors.”

Only two major industry supersectors added jobs in September.

The leisure-and-hospitality supersector added 2,400 jobs for an increase of 1.5 per-

cent and was the leading employment gainer.

Within this supersector in September, the arts, entertainment and recreation components gained 400 jobs, a 1.5 percent increase, and the accommodation and food services components had strong showings with a gain of 2,000 jobs for a 1.6 percent increase.

The leisure-and-hospitality supersector also leads all major industry supersector job growth over the year with 7,500 jobs added, a five percent increase.

Financial activities was the only other supersector to grow in September with an increase of 100 jobs or 0.1 percent.

The education and health services supersector was the largest of seven declining major industry supersectors in September, losing 3,500, a one percent decrease, representing about 46.1 percent of the overall total monthly job decline.

Within this supersector, education services, down 1,700 jobs and 2.6 percent, and health services, which shed 1,800 jobs, or 0.7 percent, were both seasonally weak, but together posted a 3,100 gain in August that was offset in September as schools opened well before Labor Day.

Because of this early start, it is likely the seasonal adjustment process overstated education employment in August and understated September numbers, according to the labor and statistics bureau.

The trade, transportation and utilities supersector was the second-largest job loser, 2,500 jobs for a decrease of 0.8 percent.

Wholesale trade, retail trade and, transportation and utilities segments were all lower.

Construction and mining, professional and business services, government, information and manufacturing supersectors also all saw job losses in September.

According to the bureau, Connecticut has now recovered 99,500 positions, or 83.6 percent of the 119,000 seasonally adjusted total non-farm jobs that were lost in the state during the March 2008 to February 2010 employment recession.

The private sector has recovered employment at a faster clip, approximately 1,572 per month and has now regained 105,300, 94.4 percent, of the 111,600 private sector jobs lost during the downturn.

A total of 6,300 more positions are needed to have a fully restored private sector.

that corridor, those peaks have expanded to about four hours, from 6:30 to 10:30 a.m., and even beyond,” Maziarz said “Then it begins again at 2:30 in afternoon, and it lasts until about 6:30.”

The business community has raised concerns about the congestion, saying it has become difficult to find times to schedule meetings that require travel, he said.

The 30-year plan includes widening I-95 for its entire 112-mile length, but the

Bridgeport-Stamford corridor would come first, with the design to be part of a fiveyear, $2.8 billion ramp-up. Similarly, the extended plans call for widening I-84 from the state line to Waterbury, but a stretch in Danbury, between exits 3 and 8, is to take top priority.

State Republicans have opposed the governor’s plan, calling instead for a 30-year plan that would spend $37.4 billion for transportation, with many lawmakers calling tolls a nonstarter. The plan stresses prioritization of urgent needs.

COSTS AND BENEFITS State estimates for the Stamford-toBridgeport widening come in at about $4 billion, with the Danbury section of I-84 estimated at $640 million. About 70 percent of the Stamford-Bridgeport project can be completed within the state’s existing right of way, with the rest requiring other solutions, including seizing property.

But the cost would be well worth it, according to an analysis the state has trumpeted by the Economic Development Research Group. The study found adding travel lanes in both directions on I-95 from Greenwich to North Stonington, as well as on I-84 between Waterbury and Danbury, would bring economic benefits of nearly $40 billion. It also said widening I-95 would save more than 14 million hours of delays by the year 2040, while widening I-84 will save 4.7 million hours of delays.

But there is plenty of disagreement on the effectiveness, or desirability, of expanding highways.

A widely cited 2009 study from the National Bureau of Economic Research looked at the relationship between interstate highways and how much people drive and found that an increased provision of roads is unlikely to relieve traffic. The reason involves what’s called induced demand.

“If all behavior stayed the same, then more lanes would have an impact on reducing congestion. But people’s behavior changes,” Joe Cutrufo, Connecticut advocate for the nonprofit Tri-State Transportation Campaign, said.

“You might have people who used to get up early and they say, there’s a new lane, I can sleep in another hour, or people who used to take back roads, and now they’ll start using 84 because there’s more capacity,” he said, adding other people who might have avoided a trip altogether will decide to go if they think traffic is less of an issue.

Cutrufo said while Malloy has generally been forward-thinking on transportation, with planned investments in rail and other

Ttraffic moves along Interstate 95 through Stamford.

methods earning praise, his agency has not favored widening highways.

Addressing demand makes more sense, he said, with variable-rate congestion pricing able to bring in revenue, reduce congestion and drive people toward mass transit.

BUCKING TRENDS Richard Barone, director of transportation programs for the nonprofit Regional Plan Association, said building highways goes against current trends.

“It’s been proven over and over that when you add lane capacity, you induce more auto travel,” he said. A better idea, he said, would be investments at particular problem areas, including bottlenecks and interchanges.

“It’s more about making more efficient connections,” he said.

Other steps that can help include setting aside lanes for specific uses. “If you have preferential treatment for carpools, or for trucks carrying goods, then you have some kind of capacity to deal with reliability issues that plague the corridor,” he said. “If they’re all mixed lanes, I’m not sure how much it’s going to do.”

He said the overall transportation plan is encouraging. “They’re doing the right things in Connecticut,” he said. “And it’s wrong to say you can’t do any investment on the highway side. You have to keep tweaking things. The concern is building a wider highway, which is not where everything has been going. The era of highway building is really over.”

The state argues widening is just one part of the plan. “You do get some relief just by widening. And you get some just by congestion pricing. The two in combination, we’ve seen in our studies can make a big impact,” said Maziarz of the DOT. “I don’t think there’s any silver bullet, but it will have to be a combination of things.”

S

Native American Heritage Day and the modern economy

upported by 184 federally recognized tribes, President George W. Bush designated the Friday after Thanksgiving as Native American Heritage Day to pay tribute to Native Americans for their many contributions to the United States. The designation encourages Americans to observe the day through ceremonies and activities and promotes the understanding of Native American heritage and culture in the classroom. This year, it falls on Nov. 27.

Native American history, achievements, music, language and, of course, native arts and crafts, are to be recognized, but I believe the program would be incomplete without a mention of the traditional Native American currency, wampum.

In the world of finance, it is the history of wampum that contains lessons relevant not only to modern times, but current events. The value of wampum and its ultimate demise as a predominant medium of exchange in the New World bear remarkable similarities to today’s currency fluctuations.

RP Wampum FC Business Journal 10 x 5.625.qxp_Layout essentially consisted of 1

stringed beads made from various mollusk shells. The finished product could be used as currency, and it also was seen as sacred in some native societies. For either reason, it also gave the bearer a certain status or rank.

Initially the beads were all white, with the earliest types coming from the channeled whelk shell, which were the most valuable. The conch and the cockleshell were two other popular sources of white beads.

However, more decorative wampum strings or belts could be made from the purple layers of various clam shells including the quahog, and they too held value.

When European settlers arrived in the New World in the 1600s, however, they soon found that, to trade with the native people, they too would need wampum. It wasn’t long before the industrious Europeans were turning out their own wampum, which served well as a form of currency for a period.

However, the new arrivals also were the bearers of Industrial Age tools, such as the awl, which proved very efficient at boring holes in the shells so they could be attached 10/21/15 AMthey Page 1 so efficient, that to strings.11:20 In fact, were

the market was soon glutted with so much wampum that the strings and belts that once took time and labor to produce were devalued and went out of favor.

Can anyone say Yuan? How about Greenbacks? Or Euros?

There are many lessons to be learned from the Native American production and use of wampum. At its very basis, someone had to wade in the waters of places like Narragansett Bay or Long Island Sound to select the best mollusks to make the best beads. Then they had to painstakingly create holes in the beads so they could be strung into belts and it didn’t hurt to have a good eye for design when different colors were used. Both the labor involved and the type of material gave the wampum strings or belts a very real value.

Ostensibly the best native craftspeople who made the most attractive belts would also find more value in their products than the less refined versions. But when a form of mass production was introduced into the process the natural result was currency devaluation.

With all the turmoil in today’s financial

markets, it would serve us well to remember these lessons when planning our investment strategies. A thoughtfully created investment portfolio can help counterbalance the ebbs and flows of inflation, economic cycles and the buying power of our currency.

There are many avenues available in Connecticut for those seeking to reconnect to Native American culture, including Friends of the State Office of Archaeology and Connecticut Indian Affairs Council, along with websites governed by each of the tribal councils. These websites, along with corresponding events organized by various committees, might very well be worth a look, if for no other reason than to broaden your understanding of this culture and its unique early form of currency. You may be surprised how its strengths and weaknesses are mirrored in today’s financial markets.

Zalvan is the leading laryngologist in the region with more than 15 years of experience. He has introduced numerous techniques and procedures and has led the region in educational outreach concerning these disorders. In addition to lecturing locally, nationally and internationally on topics of voice, swallowing and chronic cough, he has written extensively and is currently working on numerous research projects. He is an associate professor at New York Medical College, working

with both residents and medical students; a teacher at the new Family Medicine Program at Phelps; and is an adjunct professor at Mercy College where he teaches graduatelevel speech pathology students. He is known throughout the region as the go-to person for chronic cough, voice and swallowing disorders, giving hope to patients who have been frustrated by the lack of progress or treatment for their medical conditions. Clinically, he provides free screenings to identify disorders of the throat and provides treatment to the underserved and uninsured not only in the region but in Peru and Ecuador providing surgery for cleft lips and palates and vocal disorders. This past April, he led a team to Lima, Peru, with a main focus on teaching current laryngology techniques utilized in the U.S. to the local ENT doctors so that they may provide care to their local populations.

SCOTT D. HAYWORTH MD, FACOG has been president and CEO of the Mount Kisco Medical Group (MKMG), one of the largest multispecialty medical groups in New York state, since 1996. In this role he has overseen more than a tenfold expansion in the size of MKMG, from 40 physicians to 450 and developed a national reputation as an authority on practice administration, multispecialty group management and adaptation to the rapidly changing environment in health care. Under Hayworth’s leadership, MKMG has transformed from a handful of locations to 40 sites throughout the Hudson Valley, growing and coordinating staff, services, facilities and practice infrastructure toward the goal of a seamlessly integrated patient experience of the highest quality. He has guided the establishment of relationships among MKMG, diverse partners and institutions, including affiliations with Massachusetts General Hospital, Mount Sinai Hospital, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and seven

regional hospitals. MKMG was one of the first accountablecare organizations in the nation and has been an NCQA Level III Patient-Centered Medical Home for many years innovating electronic health information implementation for almost 20 years. Hayworth is an associate dean and clinical assistant professor at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and a consultant to the Vincent Memorial Obstetrics and Gynecology Service at Massachusetts General Hospital. He heads and is a member of numerous professional groups; serves on national advisory boards for Aetna, Anthem and MedPro; is a senior advisor to Arsenal Capital Partners; an advisor to WIRB-Copernicus; and sits on the boards of directors of TractManager Medical Holdings, Brighton Health Partners and the Northern Westchester Hospital Foundation. Hayworth received his A.B. in biology from Princeton and his MD from Cornell University Medical College.

ANDREW KLEINMAN, MD is the immediate past president of the Medical Society of the State of New York and former president of the Westchester County Medical Society. He is a plastic surgeon in private practice in Rye Brook and serves on the staff of Montefiore New Rochelle Hospital. Kleinman has gained prominence for his far-reaching advocacy efforts to assure patients can receive and physicians can deliver needed care. He was extensively involved in the development of New York’s ground-breaking 2014 law to fairly address “surprise” medical bills and preserve comprehensive insurance coverage, as well as a 2007 law to assure strong accreditation requirements for physicians performing office-based surgery. He has also led numerous efforts

to collect information to assist government regulators’ investigations into health insurers failing to properly cover needed patient care. A Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Kleinman earned his medical degree from the University of Rochester. He received residency training in general surgery at George Washington University Hospital in Washington, D.C. and at Harvard Surgical Service in Boston. Kleinman worked as a research fellow at Massachusetts General Hospital and then completed his plastic surgery residency training at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. He subsequently gained certification from both the American Board of Plastic Surgery and the National Board of Medical examiners.

L. MARK RUSSAKOFF, MD is the director of psychiatry at Phelps Memorial Hospital Center, where he oversees the delivery of psychiatric patient care across the continuum of Phelps services. He came to Phelps in 1994. In his role as director, he is responsible for strategic planning, development, clinical services, quality and professional performance. He is also chairman of Phelps’ Quality Review Committee, the medical board committee charged with reviewing the quality performance of the hospital’s physicians, and had served as chairman of Phelps’ Institutional Review Board until 2015. Since coming to Phelps, Russakoff has overseen the development of the hospital’s inpatient chemical dependence rehabilitation services and the

expansion of its outpatient substance-abuse services.

Prior to joining Phelps, Russakoff was the deputy and clinical director of The New York State Psychiatric Institute, a hospital and research institute of New York state and part of the Department of Psychiatry at Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons.

His publications most recently have focused on administration in psychiatry. Russakoff remains active in the American Psychiatric Association, where he is a distinguished life fellow.

Decades-long effort produces Norwalk’s Waypointe District ‘THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING’

BY BILL FALLON

S

bfallon@westfairinc.com

panning both sides of West Avenue — with Butler, Orchard and Merwyn streets like the tines of a fork facing the Norwalk River — Norwalk’s Waypointe District is fast becoming the “city within a city” that developer Stanley Seligson, chairman and CEO of Norwalk-based Seligson Properties, has pursued for 18 years.

Phase 1 of the three-phase project includes the namesake Waypointe Residences that for the last year has been renting one-, twoand three-bedroom apartments and is now more than 90 percent full. The Waypointe’s ground-floor Sedona Taphouse at 515 West Ave. is open, featuring more than 500 craft beers and an entrée called Devil’s Pass Pasta.

Waypointe Residences also now has Colony Grill, which promises a category of pizza all its own: neither Chicago nor New York, but rather a proprietary “hot oil” pizza. Salons by JC is open as well, a venue where stylists rent space, also at 515 West Ave., and where “clients will love the abundant free parking and variety of

shopping and restaurants.”

The Waypointe Residences with 362 luxury apartments is next to the 98 apartments of the Tea House Lofts in the former Bigelow Tea facility. Seligson is partnering with Greenwich-based Belpointe Capital LLC and San Francisco-based Carmel Partners on these buildings. Belpointe — its principals are Brandon Lacoff and Paxton Kinol — and Seligson Properties together are also developing other projects within the district. Belpointe maintains an office

within the district.

To create what Seligson terms “a true downtown,” another Belpointe/Seligson phase of the development includes the 129 units and 350-space parking garage of The Berkeley apartments, adjoining the historic Frost Building. The companies jointly own the Frost Building, across the street from Waypointe Residences, where long-standing tenants that will remain include Norwalk Hospital’s Occupational Health Services and Sleep Disorders Center.

The Waypointe District, featuring West Avenue with Stepping Stones Museum for Children and the LockwoodMathews Mansion Museum to the south.

“And we’ll keep expanding.”

Seligson said.

Seligson was on the original board of directors of the Maritime Aquarium on nearby Water Street, which dates to 1988 and which has a structural garage. He called it a “most-successful anchor and a top tourist attraction.”

“This area was stale, with very little reputation and no real tax benefits to the city,” Seligson said of the Waypointe District. “At night, no one was walking here; there was nothing to do. Conversely, what you’re seeing now is well over a million square feet of mixed-use development on the West Avenue corridor.”

There is a shuttle bus from Waypointe to the South Norwalk rail depot. Seligson also pointed to another type of transportation just as telling: baby carriages.

“Now you see them heading over to Stepping Stones,” he said.

“Waypointe is now creating a hub of activity and a very safe, inviting area: work, live and play.”

Seligson Properties Director Jeffrey Kaplan and Seligson spoke

recently about the project and of its implications for Norwalk. They were later joined by company Vice President Michael Serrao.

“This is only the beginning,” Kaplan said. “Norwalk’s transformation is just getting legs. There is a critical mass of investment where others are going to jump on board and make this city special in their own way. The base is being built by people like Stanley.”

Seligson is a Norwalk native — “My roots are here,” he said — whose first business was a regional candy and tobacco distributor. “The distributor was small, but I grew it to be the largest in Connecticut,” he said, seated recently in the conference room of Seligson Properties’ 605 West Ave. headquarters in the heart of the Waypointe District.

“I believe in Norwalk,” Seligson said. “I was born in Norwalk. I have a tremendous affection for this city.” He cited multiple city agencies plus previous Mayor Richard Moccia, who served four terms, and current Mayor Harry Rilling as project supporters. He praised » WAYPOINTE, page 39

Office leasing slows, but big deals loom in Westchester

BY JOHN GOLDEN

S

jgolden@westfairinc.com

tepped-up tenant activity in the first half of this year in Westchester County’s office market slowed in the third quarter, although brokers and researchers foresee big deals ahead in a promising market in which three companies are shopping for office space of more than 100,000 square feet.

Jones Lang LaSalle Inc.’s Stamford office reported 450,916 square feet of office space leased in the county from July through September, a steep drop from second-quarter leasing activity that totaled 731,048 square feet of space. Third-quarter leasing volume was not far below the 488,474 square feet leased in the first quarter this year, according to JLL. Researchers at Newmark Grubb Knight Frank noted the surge in second-quarter activity this year was boosted by one of the county’s major employers, Purchase-based PepsiCo Inc., which leased approximately 361,000 square feet of space at 1111-1129 Westchester Ave. After nine months, leasing activity in the county already has exceeded the leasing volume for all of last year, according to NGKF.

Of the top 10 leases signed in the third quarter, six were tenant renewals, while three were relocations within Westchester and one was a new lease, JLL reported.

Newmark Grubb Knight Frank said renewal deals totaled roughly 200,000 square feet in the third quarter, a nearly 31 percent increase from the previous quarter. Subleases accounted for less than 20,000 square feet of office space leased in the third quarter.

About 6.4 million square feet of office space was available for leasing at the close of the third quarter, or 23.1 percent of the total county office market, according to NGKF. That was a slight decline in availability from the first half of the year.

On a yearly basis, the county’s available office space this fall was up from 21.4 percent in the third quarter of 2014, NGKF said. That was a result of PepsiCo’s decision early this year not to renew its lease at its 540,000-square-foot bottling division headquarters in Somers. The food and beverage giant is relocating its northern Westchester operations and employees to its White Plains and Purchase facilities.

Jones Lang LaSalle reported 22.8 percent of Westchester’s overall office space was vacant in the third quarter, up from 21.1 per-

cent in the third quarter last year. The vacancy rate for Class A buildings was higher at 25.6 percent, up from 22.8 percent in the third quarter last year, according to JLL. Overall rents in Westchester fell to $24.27 per square foot in the third quarter, down from $25.69 per square foot a year ago, according to JLL. Average rents for Class A space dropped to $25.40 per square foot for the quarter, down from $26.67 per square foot in the third quarter last year.

The county’s Interstate 287 corridor dominated third-quarter leasing activity, accounting for all but one of the seven larges deals signed in the quarter, according to JLL. The I-287 submarket accounted for about 65 percent of all third-quarter leasing in the county.

Tenant interest in that central office-park corridor shows no signs of waning. More than 75 percent of tenants looking for office space in Westchester have said the I-287 corridor is their preferred location, according to JLL. AmeriPath Inc., which provides medical diagnostic services to physicians and health care facilities, signed the largest lease of the third quarter, taking 51,054 square feet at 100 Midland Ave. in Port Chester.

Tenants signing other notable deals in the

quarter included: • Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, leasing 41,868 square feet in a relocation to 3 International Drive in Rye Brook.

• O’Connor Davies LLP, for 35,580 square feet at 500 Mamaroneck Ave. in Harrison.

• Commerzbank AG, 31,520 square feet at 6 International Drive in Rye Brook.

• PepsiCo Inc., 39,075 square feet at 3 Skyline Drive in Hawthorne.

Christopher O’Callaghan, managing director and Westchester market lead in JLL’s Stamford office, said brokers expect increased tenant demand to continue into 2016. “Westchester County’s efforts to reposition older commercial office buildings will help tighten the Class A market throughout the area, although there will still be a bit of an oversupply,” he said.

Researchers at Newmark Grubb Knight Frank said tenants with office space needs totaling 1.3 million square feet are active in the county market. With multifamily residential developments booming in Westchester and the market’s vital health care sector expected to awaken from a dormant period, the county’s market outlook entering the fourth quarter “appears promising,” analysts said.

the Norwalk Redevelopment Agency and The Norwalk Chamber of Commerce for their backing, as well.

“The future of West Avenue, with its proximity to the hospital — the largest employer in the city — lends itself to great future expansion,” Seligson said.

Seligson was the original developer of the former Loehmann’s Plaza in the district. His company and Belpointe, where Kinol oversees construction and development, beginning in 2016 will redevelop the property into what is billed as a “modern retail center” called The District Center. The center has commitments from retailers including Nordstrom Rack and Container Store. Seligson also said the Belpointe/Seligson partnership is in talks with food-beverage-and-amovie company iPic for a theater there. There is more than 150,000 square feet of retail.

Seligson said the Waypointe plan has morphed from original plans.

“We’re building something different than we had planned at the start,” he said. “We conducted market studies and found there is a tremendous need for rentals.” He said such properties have been known to drift into ownership status — such as condominiums — but most historically do not and remain rentals.

Meantime, Chicago-based General Growth Properties Inc. is before the city now with a proposal to build a regional shopping mall on a 12-acre site it owns that is circumscribed by West Avenue, Interstate 95 and Metro-North’s Danbury Line.

The mall already has agreements with Nordstrom and Bloomingdale’s and envisions 80 to 100 smaller retailers, a hotel and public space.

“Will the mall be competition for our retail? I consider it a good thing, bringing more shoppers to Norwalk,” Seligson said. “The diversity of shopping opportunities will enhance redevelopment within the Waypointe District.”

Kaplan said the mall promises stores currently not available in the local retail market.

Kaplan is heartened by Waypointe District’s progress so far, saying his children alert him to the recent advances — “There’s the parking garage!”

— as he drives them through the neighborhood.

He called the nearby Stepping Stones Museum for Children, where he serves on the board of directors, and Lockwood Mathews Mansion Museum, to the south of the district, “Norwalk’s Central Park.”

Seligson, who was tieless with a silk handkerchief in his blue blazer pocket the day he spoke, said his familiarity with the region guides him.

“Our company has a long-term view of Norwalk as opposed to someone who would come in just to do a project. It’s amazing what you can accomplish in 20 years,” he said.

Proactive municipalities and special interest groups, especially the Westchester County Association and its Blueprint for Westchester program to reduce the county’s glut of vacant office spaces.

Surging biotech and health care sectors, led by Regeneron Pharmaceuticals and mergers and acquisitions in the county by New York City hospitals.

Westchester is home to Regeneron, one of the world’s largest and most innovative biotech companies. Recent investment and its expansion at its headquarters at the Landmark at Eastview and the company’s forging into the ownership side of the market by acquiring neighboring parcels for future development proves its long-term commitment to the county. A 1 million-square-foot footprint is not out of the question for Regeneron and it will continue to be a harbor for some of the most sophisticated intellectual capital in the world.

As I predicted last year, 2015 was bombarded with monumental M&A activity in the health care sector. Six of the largest hospitals in the county have been either bought, merged or established partnerships with leading New York City institutions of elite health care.

Growth from this myriad of activity is certain as capital will be deployed, health centers redeveloped and new facilities repurposed from old and otherwise antiquated office inventory.

Adaptive repurpose measures are being embraced.

The county’s aging, mostly vacant office product stock — some dating back to the 1960s — has been aggressively pursued by alternativeuse developers and businesses. Local municipalities to date have been very supportive of that pursuit and have made the process to re-entitle and rezone properties much more expeditious from a historical perspective.

The constituents of the county realize that an old, ugly vacant building, generating nothing, is not a desired long-term solution. Facilities like Lifetime Fitness Center and Memorial Sloan Kettering’s West Harrison cancer center have brightened the landscape and have created bet-

ter solutions for those living nearby.

Population growth in Westchester’s largest central business districts.

Continued quality development of multifamily residences has created more places to live in the commercial centers of the county such as White Plains, Tarrytown and Yonkers.

We continue to see creative and sustainable developments being presented and believe that where there is a multitude of living options, there will be retail and office growth.

WEAKNESSES Contraction of financial services and the corporate sector.

Westchester has long been a location for large financial companies and corporations to house lines of businesses that are critical to the overall function of the business at a lower cost than their alternative location in New York City. That trend has reversed since the Great Recession for financial services companies and, from the corporate side, since the early 1990s.

Aging product stock, no real new office development.

As mentioned, the county’s aging office product stock has been highly sought after by alternative-use developers and businesses.

That doesn’t change the fact that the remaining office space is still way behind the times in terms of design development, efficiency and sustainability.

Lack of growth beyond biotech and health care.

I can’t think of another business that is growing in the county.

FACTORS AFFECTING THE MARKET

Significant property dispositions are scheduled for year end in the class A office sector, including, in White Plains, 701-777 Westchester Ave., 44 South Broadway, 140150 Grand, 440 Hamilton Avenue, and White Plains Plaza.

There currently are eight office properties being marketed for sale. Most are well-stabilized assets that should trade in a rather frothy investment market.

With a new herd of owners with new basis, the market should expect rising rents and more challenging concession packages for tenants. Owners buying well- leased assets typically underwrite for net operating income growth based on their own abilities and the thought that they can do it better. » OFFICE, page 42

Accommodating transit-oriented development in local regulations

P

opulation growth in and surrounding urban areas is on the rise and consequently so is transit-oriented development, or TOD, a land-use strategy centered on locations well served by transit that typically includes a mix of land uses and dense development patterns. Westchester County is “actively working with eight municipalities … affected by work on the Tappan Zee Bridge and I-287 corridor” and “is supporting current (TOD) planning efforts in the individual municipalities.”

THE CASE FOR TODS A recent market study performed by Reconnecting America’s partner, Center for Transit-Oriented Development, found “by 2030, almost a quarter of all U.S. households are likely to want higher density housing near transit.” It is well known the millennial generation is attracted to the wide array of professional and educational opportunities, cultural events, social venues, restaurants and other amenities available to them in a city. These days, empty nesters looking to downsize are moving to multifamily housing developments in locations where the city is easily accessible by public transportation.

These trends have increased demand for high-density residential housing and mixeduse developments within walking distance of train stations and express or rapid bus lines.

Land surrounding transit hubs is becoming increasingly more valuable, and successful development, or redevelopment, of TODs in these locations can prove to be a profitable investment for real estate developers so long as certain municipal land use and zoning regulation hurdles can be overcome in an efficient and expeditious manner.

COMMON BARRIERS Lot size is usually limited in the most ideal locations for TODs, causing developers to build vertically, with multiple floors on the same footprint. TODs are most successful as mixed-use developments that have commercial, retail or restaurant space on the street level and residential housing — rental units or condominiums — on higher floors.

However, zoning ordinances and landuse regulations that govern permitted uses, building height, density, floor-area ratios, bulk, coverage, setbacks and parking are common barriers to developing in districts close to transit lines. Many older buildings within these districts are nonconforming

under these standards. While some local governments have amended their comprehensive plans and zoning codes to encourage TODs in districts surrounding transit hubs, some current land-use regulations can render TODs physically or financially infeasible.

PETITIONING FOR A ZONING CHANGE Developers may seek to adjust or ease these regulatory barriers to TODs by assembling a development team and engaging in early outreach with local municipal officials, their staffs and consultants to gauge whether the municipality would be amenable to a TOD and how to implement the development within the existing character of the community.

Given the strict zoning code provisions in some communities, a TOD will often require a developer to petition the municipality for a zone change or text amendment.

The first step in any well-conceived plan to develop a TOD should be to encourage municipal officials to support the development by highlighting the value the TOD will bring to the community by, for example, increasing real property and sales tax revenue, raising property values, providing public open space and possibly reserving space for affordable housing.

A developer proposing a TOD to a municipality must be prepared at the outset with a comprehensive game plan for enacting all necessary zoning changes and approvals. When petitioning for the rezoning of a district, the developer should, among other things, have a conceptual streetscape plan and present recommended design guidelines for the district. A developer would be well advised to address community opposition and concerns by using empirical data supporting the development.

An amendment to a zoning code to add or modify an ordinance to encourage TODs should seek to increase the allowable density and permit mixed-use development. The ordinance may allow for a decrease in setbacks, frontage and lot-size requirements.

Depending on the topography, height restrictions also may require easing to facilitate reasonable vertical development where appropriate. In proposing a zoning amendment, the developer should closely examine the inventory of preexisting building structures and design a TOD that maintains the community’s character. These preexisting structures, which are most likely nonconforming under today’s zoning standards, serve as a developer’s baseline for a thoughtful zoning

code amendment that would permit a TOD consistent with the community’s existing streetscape.

In conclusion, the demand for smart TOD is here and will only grow as land becomes less available. Local municipal officials may want to consider, when necessary, reexamining and amending their comprehensive zoning plans and codes to

encourage TODs. Lino Sciarretta is a partner in Wilson Elser’s White Plains of�ice. He can be reached at 914-872-7790 and lino.sciarretta@wilsonelser.com Mathew T. Dudley is an as associate in Wilson Elser’s White Plains of�ice. He can be reached at 914-872-7553 and mathew.dudley@ wilsonelser.com.

New leadership for WCA. Marissa Brett has stepped down as president of the business organization. Who will fill her shoes?

Workplace strate�y and densification impacts.

Standard utilization metrics for office leasing used to be 1 person for every 250 square feet of space. But that standard measure no longer applies with the proliferation of offsite data centers, the elimination of paper records that require large filing areas, desk sharing and more flexible furniture technology that allows for mobile offices.

This trend is real and will have great impact on office buildings with respect to technology, heating, ventilation and air conditioning requirements, and parking.

Competition with a struggling Fairfield County.

In Connecticut, General Electric, the Royal Bank of Scotland and UBS Financial Services, among others, have all started their own downsizing processes.

Anticipate a continued trend and a large impact on the office inventory balance sheet.

Undoubtedly, when a large user circulates through the tristate area in search of office space, there will be plenty to see in Fairfield County.

BOLD PREDICTIONS

Office —

I predict a six-figure reduction in office footprint through adaptive repurpose. There are several existing office buildings in sale discussions with developers and businesses. We foresee some if not all of those of properties trading in 2016.

There will be a compression of quality market inventory driven by lack of quality supply.

There are very few large blocks of space available that are deemed market -ready and are in the most desirable parts of a building.

Redevelopment will gain momentum at the White Plains Transportation Center. This has to happen and will continue to slowly plod along. The city needs a big development at the train station and will surely get it at some point.

Government will be increasingly involved in large corporate strategies that include Westchester for potential opportunities.

It will be a year with no large deals, just lots of small deals.

Rent increases will come with new ownership and capital expenditures.

There aren’t a lot of big fish out there. I don’t expect any really sizable office space requirements to hit the market for a 2016 close.

I do, however, see very healthy leasing activity in the less than 10,000 square feet range. We anticipate more leasing activity in 2016 than this year and, in particular, in downtown White Plains, where the market is coming off a historically slow year.

Commercial availability ‘stubbornly high’

he majority of the Fairfield County office market was constructed in the 1980s. This was due in large part to a combination of attributes employers found attractive within its six submarkets. Those attributes included efficient income and corporate tax structures, high quality of life, excellent public schools and a well-educated workforce.

While the state income tax was introduced in 1994, the relocation of UBS to the Stamford CBD in the mid-1990s was a seminal moment in the evolution of the tenant mix in Stamford. The move also had an overall effect on Fairfield County, as the finance, insurance and real estate sector — FIRE — became the dominant industries in the marketplace. While this was good news for the FIRE industry, rising rents and access to value labor forced nonfinancial companies to shift eastward or relocate out of state to realize cost synergies as a result of M&A activity.

These factors led Greenwich tenants to seek larger quarters in Stamford, Stamford tenants sought to be closer to labor by moving to Merritt 7 and companies within the Central submarket looked to Shelton to mitigate rising real estate and labor costs. This activity culminated with office employment reaching its peak level in 2000.

Although leasing velocity has shown signs of modest improvement year-over-year at 2,393,118 square feet year to date, the availability rate in Fairfield County remains stubbornly high at 20.5 percent. This is due to several large blocks that are technically available, but functionally obsolete, such as the former headquarters of Pitney Bowes and General Reinsurance.

In addition, the countywide availability rate has remained fairly flatlined, due in part to the densification of space utilization in the workplace. Employers are seeking to maximize their utilization of space, while also increasing productivity and creativity from serendipitous meetings or so-called “a-ha” moments.

Generally speaking, this occurs when employees are no longer in static office settings and have more chance encounters for discussion and problem solving.

While leasing velocity is expected to remain fairly steady, if unspectacular, through 2016, expectations are the availability rate may move downward as obsolete stock is repurposed. For instance, Building and Land Technology has demolished a portion of the 100,000 square feet at 150 Glover Ave. in Norwalk that had been office and R&D for Covidien. BLT is now in front of the city of Norwalk with a plan to develop up to 700

residential units.

Other facilities throughout Fairfield County are being evaluated for repurposing or redevelopment, as there is a paucity of cool, loft environments that are valued by tenants outside the FIRE sector such as technology, advertising, media and information businesses, or TAMI. While the office inventory is largely mature and evolving, the transportation infrastructure supporting it remains the same as it was well before the arrival of UBS. This has an impact on pricing and growth. The closer a building is to a multimodal transportation center, train and bus, the greater the economic premium it commands. Long-term growth will be stifled until

labor can efficiently access the largest office markets in southern Fairfield County by car on the Merritt Parkway, Interstate 95 and via mass transportation.

While there are presently no broad-based drivers in place from either a policy or industry standpoint that will stimulate the leasing markets in the near term, there are pockets of TAMIs that value the natural advantages of Fairfield County. The challenge to grow these TAMIs and other tenancies are not only transportation and labor, but also a consistent tax structure.

The state of Connecticut’s Department of Economic and Community Development under Gov. Dannel Malloy had been suc-

cessful prior to the 2015 budget in providing incentives on a case-by-case basis to lure larger entities to Connecticut and to Stamford.

There is hope all the stakeholders in Connecticut will come together with practical and rational solutions that will attract and grow the next generation of labor to the county. After all, the high quality of life, excellent public schools and a well-educated workforce are still here and attractive to the millennial generation that will soon have families of its own.

Millennial lifestyle influences Ginsburg developments

BY COLLEEN WILSON

cwilson@westfairinc.ocm

lected officials, development executives and construction workers gathered to see the American flag unfurl at the new $65 million Harbor Square development in Ossining earlier this month for what is symbolically called a topping-off event.

The nearly complete construction at the 188-room luxury apartment complex will not

Riverside at Harbors-at-Haverstraw started leasing its 106 apartments in June and is at 50 percent capacity as of Oct. 1. Thirty-two percent of those new residents are considered millennials, between 18 and 34 years old, according to information compiled by the building’s leasing office.

Martin Ginsburg, the principal and founder of Ginsburg Development, said he has the millennial population in mind for these projects.

Ginsburg said millennials are changing

be the last for the Valhalla-based Ginsburg Development Cos. Harbor Square, set to start leasing next spring, is one of four mostly luxury-priced housing developments — the others being River Tides at Greystone in Yonkers, The Lofts in Hastings-on-Hudson and Riverside in Haverstraw — the firm has underway.

The Lofts, at a cost of almost $35 million for 66 units, and River Tides at Greystone, which is a $100 million project with 330 units, are set to open next summer and fall, respectively.

the apartment design perceptions of potential residents in other age brackets.

Some of the components Ginsburg Development has included in these new units include kitchens that open into the living space, stainless steel appliances and an overall cleaner, more contemporary look.

“The millennials’ tastes start radiating,” Ginsburg said, and “the other market is following that taste; the older people, emptynesters, are starting to say, ‘That’s not so bad.’”

The empty-nesters, referring to parents who have children in college or living on their own, is another population Ginsburg is hoping will fill these complexes.

Harbor Square units include studio, oneand two-bedroom apartments with rents starting at $1,100 for a studio to $5,400 for a two-bedroom. The Riverside rents for a studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments are between $1,795 for a studio and $3,595 for a two-bedroom.

The rent helps cover amenities, part of what Ginsburg called a “lifestyle approach” to the communities his firm is developing. This approach includes fitness and yoga studios, a spa, swimming pools, close proximity to public transportation and commercial businesses like theaters or restaurants. Ginsburg’s developments also provide waterfront views of the Hudson River.

“The approach we’re taking is a lifestyle approach,” Ginsburg said. “If they can afford it, they will hunt it and in some cases they’re willing to pay a greater part of their income toward the housing.”

Residential market faces demanding buyers

BY BILL FALLON

bfallon@westfairinc.com

n its recently issued third-quarter market watches — separate appraisals for Greenwich and for Darien/New Canaan/ Rowayton — residential real estate company Houlihan Lawrence offered takes on the two markets that, despite differences, featured thoughtful buyers waiting for the right deals.

Another emerging commonality was the desire for conveniently located, easy-to-maintain homes.

“Residential sales in Darien, New Canaan and Rowayton seem to be repeating last year’s pattern, with the number of homes sold during the first three quarters of 2015 mirroring last year’s numbers very closely,” Houlihan Lawrence said.

That noted, the report also said of the Darien/Rowayton/New Canaan market, “Generally speaking, buyers are adopting a more thoughtful and analytical approach to the home-buying process. While challenging for sellers, the balance of 2015 could be a perfect time to buy a home while mortgage rates remain low and inventories of homes for sale exceed levels seen in recent years.”

In Greenwich, the report said, “While Greenwich itself remains a highly desirable area, buyers are willing to wait on the sidelines for the right property.

“Wall Street’s volatility is increasingly evident in the real estate market. The summer was a roller coaster for investors, who remain on edge. Those jitters have naturally spread to the housing market and have made buyers wary of making the wrong move. They demand value to get off the sidelines. Recent evidence of some economic weakness has many believing rates will stay low for longer than expected, giving buyers even less reason to compromise, or buy into a property that isn’t turnkey.”

The company’s Jeff Kelly, managing broker for Darien and Rowayton, and Chris Meyers, president and CEO, authored the reports.

In each local market, year-over-year sales for the first three quarters of 2015 were within a few percentage points of the 2014 totals, the report said.

“Despite the fact that the number of sales has remained fairly constant, a more detailed analysis reveals some interesting changes taking place in our markets that could create some significant opportunities for educated home buyers,” Meyers and Kelly wrote. They cited trends relevant to that observation, including ∙ Inventory of homes for sale continues to

increase significantly. During the third quarter, the number of homes for sale continued to increase in all local markets. As of Sept.

30, the number of homes for sale compared with the same date in 2014 saw Darien’s number up 46.2 percent and Rowayton’s up 79.5 percent.

■ Buyers of higher-priced homes have an abundance of options. The most significant increases in inventory continue to occur above $2 million.

■ Year-over-year median sale prices have increased in all local markets. In Rowayton for example, median sale prices have increased more than 20 percent over last year. But this metric came with the asterisk that a rise in a market’s median or average pricing “is often

more a reflection of increased activity in higher price ranges than it is of overall market appreciation.”

■ Buyers are placing a premium on wellrenovated and newly constructed homes in all local markets. The most sought-after homes are either brand new or recently renovated. “Seemingly, buyers are eager for a lower-maintenance lifestyle and they are willing to pay a premium for newer homes in areas close to town, trains and schools,” the report said.

The breakdown for Greenwich saw, overall, the number of sales down, but prices were higher. The hottest price range in the area was the $5 million to $6 million range, in which sales are up 77 percent, year-to-date.

In Greenwich, homes north of the Merritt Parkway sat on the market the longest in the area, an average of 276 days. Homeowners often adjust given such a length of time and the report said, “The fallen prices have resonated with buyers and units sold rose to 66 percent.”

Also in Greenwich, homes south of Post Road got 97 percent of their last list price and median prices were up 11 percent in the third quarter.

Among the data points: The hottest category in Riverside was typically for a new or fully renovated home in the $4 million to $5 million range.

Condo sales remained solid, the report said, “but value remains a higher priority for buyers. Prices and inventory are down.”

Cathleen Stack of Darien, Conn., has been appointed by Hudson Gateway Association of Realtors as its director of marketing. Stack joins HGAR after more than 15 years as a digital marketing and sales specialist in the real estate industry. Most recently, she served as director of digital marketing with the Daily Voice, a hyper-local digital media company where she helped build the company’s real estate advertising platform and grew its real estate business in Westchester, Putnam and Fairfield counties.

Stack also served with the former Westchester-Putnam Association of Realtors while vice president of online marketing at Houlihan Lawrence Inc., where she worked on several marketing initiatives, including a new online customer relationship marketing and transaction management platform. She also spent several years at RISMedia Inc., managing member services for a national network of top-producing real estate professionals, known as the “Top 5 in Real Estate.”

DUMAS NAMED TO BANK POST RECAP SEEKS VOLUNTEERS FOR HOLIDAY EVENT Middletown-based RECAP is seeking donations and volunteers for the agency’s Thanksgiving drive.

This annual event brings together donors, community groups, volunteers and staff to organize turkeys, stuffing, gravy, vegetables and more into Thanksgiving packages to help the community’s neediest residents prepare a holiday dinner.

The most-needed donations are turkeys, canned gravy, boxed stuffing, instant potatoes, canned fruit and vegetables. Monetary donations are greatly appreciated and help fill in where needed. Donations are accepted until Nov. 20 at RECAP’s Nutrition and Advocacy Program at 119 E. Main St. in Middletown.

Also needed are about 25 volunteers to help prepare and distribute packages on Nov. 23 and a few days before. For information or to register as a volunteer or package recipient, call Francine at 845-342-3978, ext. 6213.

RECAP was established in 1965 after President Lyndon Johnson’s State of the Union address a year earlier encouraged Americans to eradicate poverty and build a “Great Society.” A model called the Community Action Program was created and agencies sprung up across the country.

In 2014, the New York State Department of State designated RECAP as the official Community Action Agency serving the city of Newburgh.

ORANGE REGIONAL OFFERS HOSPITALIST SERVICES Orange Regional Medical Group in Middletown is offering hospitalist services to Orange Regional Medical Center’s inpatients through its department of hospital medicine.

Hospitalists are board-certified internists who devote their time to the treatment of hospitalized patients. These physicians see inpatients who have been referred from their primary care doctors, emergency room doctors or other physicians within the hospital. They do not see patients outside of the hospital setting.

“Primary care doctors partner with hospitalists to take care of patients admitted to the hospital,” said Scott Batulis, Greater Hudson Valley Health System president and CEO. “This gives the patient the benefit of being cared for by a physician who is entirely focused on his or her care and safety while hospitalized.”

WESTCHESTER & FAIRFIELD COUNTY

BUSINESS JOURNALS FACES & PLACES

WE APPLAUD OUR CFOS CFOs from a spectrum of industries shared how they make the numbers work at Westchester County Business Journal’s annual event on Oct 8.

Before getting to business, a violinist greeted guests to The Briarcliff Manor, a 20th century mansion recently opened by Perry DiNapoli. Attendees networked and ate a variety of Italian dishes, coconut shrimp, stuffed breads and specialty meats, and drank beer and wine provided by Val’s Putnam Wines & Liquors.

Robert Chersi, a judge at the event and former CFO of Fidelity Investments and a faculty member at Pace University’s Lubin School of Business, spoke of challenges facing CFOs, summing them up with, “change is the way of life” and “no rest for the weary.”

Representatives from sponsors McGladrey and TD Bank announced the nine finalists. Of those, the three winners were Susan Bartow, CFO of School Choice International; Mark Hirschhorn, executive vice president and CFO of Teladoc and Gary F. Brudnicki, senior vice president, chief operating officer and CFO of WMCHealth Network.
