Doubly connected by the Metro-North New Haven and Amtrak lines, Bridgeport plans to further embrace trains by redeveloping a vacant armament property as the city’s second train station, operable in four years. The 8-acre, East Side property was acquired in a tax foreclosure, carved from the 25-acre Remington Arms Co. site, which saw the production of bullets and shell cases during World War II. Bridgeport received a $25,000 federal grant to conduct a feasibility study for the

ith weather eyes honed on Wall Street, two Westport businessmen have launched TradeXchange at 1720 Post Road E., a company targeting what they see as complacency by traditional investment news providers. “Only the amount of news is increasing,” they say, “not the quality.” Plans call for 75 hires in the first year. Partner Milton Marmanides’ University of Connecticut focus was business and business finance, which led to an early hedge fund career. He was named a partner at 27 with Atlanta-based real estate investment and advisory firm Imperial Investments L.L.C. George Avidon is an engineer who studied economics at UConn as an undergraduate. His master’s thesis for his M.S. in engineering from the University of Bridgeport addressed “disruptive technologies and how inter-industries and inter-curriculum affect one another and contribute to growth and ingenuity.” Marmanides and Avidon said stints on Wall Street taught them the current business information environment is “ripe for a directional change.” The pair began discussing the problem casually a year ago and three months ago took the discussions to the business-formation stage and hired a lawyer. “The process has not been easy and at times difficult to achieve,” they said in response to questions from the Fairfield County Business Journal. “The end result is a method that enables traders to see securities and indices that may be ‘in play.’ We call it TX 1.”

proposed train station. The study demonstrated that the property, which DuPont bought in the 1980s and remediated, could provide value and spur economic growth. “We then received a state grant through the support of state Senator (Andres) Ayala (Jr.), to demolish several hundred thousand square feet of vacant buildings on this site,” said David Kooris, director of planning and economic development in Bridgeport. “The ground is red with crushed brick used to fill the site. We completed the demolition a few months ago.

“The basis for the idea surfaced with the notion that information can and will become more overwhelming as volume and its velocity increases at an exponential rate.

Used, but not used up A VOLUNTEER, A CLOSURE AND A SECOND CHANCE

T

he Jewish Family Services Thrift Shop in Byram was to close. The year was 2008. Call it kismet that the second-hand and consignment store had a long-serving volunteer named Mindy Levy Salinas. She bought the contents of the shop at 103 Mill St. from Jewish Family Services — which did not reopen in another location — renamed it Second Chances Thrift and Consignment and gave the business, appropriately, a second chance. “I had worked here as a volunteer for three years,” she said from among the myriad opportunities to re-retail that her store presents. A quick survey revealed a western saddle, jewelry, clothes, tea pots, lamps, art, hats and formal chairs. “When it closed I bought the contents of the store and I made it my own,” she said. Salinas now has a co-owner, Jheri Ciaccio, who painted the graphic canvas on the wall that reads: “Keep Calm Go Shopping.” What little extra space is available in the shop Salinas and Ciaccio fill with their evident joie de vivre. “Everybody and everything deserves a second chance,” Salinas said. — Bill Fallon

CBRE notches Norwalk sale; Matrix ups its presence

effrey Dunne and Steven Bardsley of Stamford-based CBRE Group Inc.’s Institutional Properties team represented 535 Connecticut Avenue L.L.C., a joint venture of New Jersey-based KABR Real Estate Investment Partners and New York City-based Blackpoint Partners, in the sale of the 179,000-square-foot 535 Connecticut Ave., Norwalk, building. The team was also responsible for procuring the buyer, Matrix Investment Group L.L.C. The transaction represents Matrix’s second acquisition in Fairfield County. In 2009, Matrix purchased the 1.2 million-square-foot Matrix Corporate Center in Danbury through the same CBRE sales team. The Connecticut Avenue building is close to Interstate 95 and possesses divisible floor plates. Its amenities include a fitness center, cafeteria and 95 percent covered parking. It is currently 45 percent leased. It was billed by Dunne as the only contiguous block of space more 90,000 square feet on the Route 1 (Connecticut Avenue) corridor. — Bill Fallon

UBS lease is fodder for the rumor mill

BY ELIZABETH KIM Hearst Connecticut Media

I

t is a question now heard across Stamford: Will UBS stay or go? And if the Swiss banking giant does vacate its premises on one of the city’s prime downtown corners, how will Stamford handle the loss of one of its biggest employers and economic drivers? Starting in the summer of 2011, there were reports that UBS, which moved its headquarters from Manhattan to Stamford in 1997, was eyeing a return to the Big Apple. Not long after, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy stepped in with a $20 million loan that is forgivable on the condition that the company keeps at least 2,000 employees in Stamford until 2017. That is the year when UBS’ lease on its 650,000-square-foot salmon-colored office building at 677 Washington Blvd. is set to expire. According to recent reports, it may be difficult to justify the need for such a large space. The Wall Street Journal and the Financial News recently published stories on how changes in the financial industry, particularly in the trading busi-

ness, have led to major staff cuts both at UBS and its neighbor across the street, RBS, which in May confirmed reports it would cut as many as 400 jobs over the next 18 months. Unnamed sources in the WSJ story, which ran on July 14, said that UBS’ trading floor, considered to be the largest in the world, is now mainly occupied by “back-office, legal and technology staffers.” Asked to comment on the company’s future plans, Karina Byrne, a spokeswoman for UBS, emailed the following statement: “We are not commenting or speculating, but we reiterate our commitment to keeping 2,000 jobs in the state of Connecticut as part of our five-year agreement with the state.” According to the most recent numbers provided by the state, UBS employs 2,264 full-time employees. The staff size is almost half of what it was in 2007, when the bank had roughly 4,000 people on its payroll. The cuts have been industrywide in Stamford. According to the Business Council of Fairfield County, as of 2005,

Stamford had 13,000 people employed in finance. Today, that number has shrunk to roughly 10,700. Joseph McGee, the vice president of public policy and programs for The Business Council of Fairfield County, said the pressure to move to Manhattan demonstrates that the financial industry as a whole is contracting and, as a result, is looking to centralize again in New York City. McGee, who as commissioner of Connecticut’s Department of Economic Development helped broker the deal to bring UBS to Stamford, disputed rumors that the company decided to leave Stamford because the city presented a handicap in its recruiting efforts. “We have very sophisticated traders in hedge funds and we have no problems holding them here,” he said. Nonetheless, he conceded, “Would traders rather be in New York? Yeah, you want to be where most of the jobs are.” Given the upheaval in the industry, McGee said it was reasonable to believe UBS would leave Stamford after its lease runs out.

“We, as a city, need to prepare for that eventuality,” he said. On that front, city officials acknowledge they’ve thought about the possibility of life without UBS. Thomas Madden, the city’s economic development director, said city officials have ongoing conversations with all of its major employers. “UBS and RBS play an absolute important role in our economy,” he said. “We’d love to have them here and we are working to make sure they have a future in Stamford.” All the same, Madden said the city is talking with state economic development officials about Stamford’s future over the next several years. At the same time, city officials are working on a new master plan they hope will provide a road map for how the city should grow. Another key part of Stamford’s strategy will be to attract and foster new industries like technology and media. “We are taking steps to ensure we have as diverse an economy as possible,” he said. » UBS, page 6

The mansion at 521 Round Hill Road in Greenwich.

A

n estate at 521 Round Hill Road in Greenwich went on the market for $65 million recently. The property is represented by Jane Howard Basham of Greenwich-based David Ogilvy & Associates with international marketing services provided by Christie’s International Real Estate. Adjectives in the marketing material include stately, stunning and marvelous. The floors are “sublime.” The living room is 45 feet long; the bookcases in the library are lighted. “This is the ultimate Round Hill Road location in the best town in Connecticut —

Greenwich,” David Ogilvy said in a statement. “A new buyer will experience 40 acres of open rolling lawns surrounding this fabulous, virtually new brick manor with memorable distant views of Long Island Sound to the south. The house itself has been totally renovated from top to bottom with a layout that works beautifully for 2014. It is essentially an entirely new house, yet with the character of a bygone era.” The mansion was originally completed in 1918 for Daniel Grey Reid, a steel-and-banking magnate, as a wedding present for his daughter, Rhea, and her

husband, Henry Topping. It was designed by noted architect William Tubby. It has been renovated over the last three years by Dibiase Filkoff Architects of Bedford, N.Y., and Hobbs Builders Inc. of New Canaan. “The scale and design of this newly renovated home speak to elegant taste and refinement,” said Kathleen Coumou, senior vice president of Christie’s International Real Estate, in a statement. “This spectacular estate offers total privacy and tranquility away from all noise and yet is an easy drive to the Merritt Parkway or to the airport for accessibility.”

A mechanism needed to be in place to allow market participants the capacity and capability to utilize information in a method that bears weight as it relates to volume and price volatility. “Our market includes institutional investors, hedge fund and portfolio managers, proprietary traders, swing traders, money managers, advisers and investors. Because (of) modern technology with respect to cloud computing, telecommunication and mobile connectivity, a subscriber may come from Stamford or Shanghai, China. At a minimum, the subscriber needs to have a willingness and interest to understand the markets and access to a mobile device.”

Where is the effort now? How many employees?

“The original and implemented approach to the business was to bootstrap the entire operation. This bootstrapped business (included) hardware, software, networking, legal, marketing and human resource management. “After the launch July 15, the firm is concentrating on constantly developing better methods of actionable news dissemination, several aspects of technology, improving algorithms and working on a different subscriber portal. The group is persistently receiving critique from its existing subscribers in order to stay ahead of the industry in the field of real-time news. Existing work in natural language processing and machine learning will propel the next phase of development to understand market-ready information and its potential effects on volume and price. Web and mobile development continues, with work on the user experience and interface. Currently, the firm has a staff of nine including the two managing partners, interns and consultants.”

“We have entered a time when technology, information and speed have converged and are influencing not just price volatility of individual securities and more macro-based indices, but are also influencing volume traded models, with implications for volatile markets.

While filling any huge office vacancy in the scale of UBS will present an important test for city and state officials, most experts say that the UBS headquarters will attract significant interest, whether it be from a single corporate tenant or several willing to divide the space. “It’s probably one of the best, welllocated facilities on the East Coast for investment banking,” said Jim Fagan, a senior managing director at Cushman & Wakefield. Citing its modern infrastructure and proximity to transportation through the train station and I-95, Fagan described the class A office space as “everything you could want in a facility for a company of today’s needs.” Madden called the 15-story building “a home run for anybody to walk into right away.” The 12-acre UBS site also presents the possibility of redevelopment, providing additional land on which a developer could to build commercial space. Not that everyone is convinced that UBS’ departure is a fait accompli. Jack Condlin, president and CEO of the Stamford Chamber of Commerce, said decisions of this nature are always subject to change, noting a lot depends on a company’s management makeup at the time. “Things can change very quickly,” he said. Fagan agreed, saying that UBS could very well have a “change of heart” in 2017. “This is an extraordinary opportunity,” he said of the UBS site. “It might force them to look twice.” Hearst Connecticut Media includes four daily newspapers: Connecticut Post, Greenwich Time, The Advocate (Stamford) and The News Times (Danbury.) See stamfordadvocate.com for more from this reporter.

The project is slated to be shovel ready by 2017 and fully operational by 2018. The total cost of the train station project could range from $50 million to $200 million, depending on the funding available, said Bridgeport Mayor Bill Finch. That cost factor also contributes to the value of the land surrounding the second train station, he added. “The bigger the station, the more expensive, but the higher the land value,” Finch said. “If I build something that’s the size of Stamford’s train station, the land around it becomes more valuable

because it has greater capacity and more ridership, and it will contribute more public money. A smaller train station has less economic development and smaller ridership. We have a public-private partnership, and a significant amount of that money will come from the private sector, so it’s going to be awhile before we know how much.” The site for the train station is in Bridgeport’s medical district. It is surrounded by Bridgeport Hospital, which is part of the Yale New Haven Health System. Thousands of people rely on the

Metro-North to move between different hospitals in the network. The fact that a train station is developing in the hospital’s backyard could greatly improve the convenience of transportation for the regions hospital workforce and remove reasons to drive, reducing traffic congestion on Interstate 95 and the Merritt Parkway, Kooris said. Once the site is developed, it could provide a market for new residential, retail and/or office parks, which could generate up to $10 million in property tax revenue, Bridgeport officials have said.

What logistics are you engaged in? Brick and mortar, computers?

Where will you find them and what skills will you seek?

“The existing office is on the smaller scale but provides the necessary infrastructure for the initial launch. With the technical acumen within the firm, outsourcing technology is not in the cards for this startup. The intention is grow the organization rapidly in all facets of the business. With the availability of commercial space within Fairfield County, the firm is confident and steadfast on growing in Connecticut.”

“With an ambitious staff goal of 75 within one year of launch, the firm will seek to hire and expand in several areas: engineering, research and financial analysis, data science, marketing and design. If our current Fairfield University interns are any indication of the level of education that is being offered to the Generation Ys, we will not have any problems filling the necessary technical, financial, business and design roles. The opportunity is massive.”

Where is the finance industry now as you see it?

Where is social media in the equation?

ASK ANDI

BY ANDI GRAY

Productivity leads to profits If we hire another salesperson, operations has to be able to deliver. People are already working hard within the constraints of their available hours – and they are worried about things they’re not getting done now. We don’t want to fail to deliver. What happens when sales picks up? Thoughts of the day: Look for systems enhancement opportunities. Build the organization from the bottom up, adding extra hours at the lowest possible cost. Keep a lid on overtime, whatever you do. Work with sales to build in margin for things customers want. Reforecast weekly, with a 12-week look-ahead to stay on top of potential increases. Are there new or updated computer systems that will boost efficiency anywhere along the line, from order-taking to production, to delivery, invoicing and collections? Use leases of equipment and software to keep costs down and spread the investment out over time while pursuing efficiencies. Run a forecast of costs and savings to be sure upgrades will lead to improvements in the bottom line. Use processes to cut out waste and increase efficiency. Take a look at how routine and smooth all of the production work is. Ask employees to track and report on errors. Use those reports to find and fix problems and thereby reduce production costs. Consider sharing a portion of the cost savings with employees as one-time bonuses, as a reward for thinking about how to do things better. Most employees are looking for opportunity to boost their personal income. Eventually they’ll look for jobs outside the company if they can’t get big enough raises internally. Keep the best employees close by giving them opportunities to increase skill, responsibility and pay. Teach employees that raises beyond cost of living are earned, and reward people who take the initiative to produce more, faster. Identify several areas of production that would benefit from upgrading skills and improving how things are done. Keep good employees fully employed in slack times by devoting a percentage of work time to education. Test out new ways of

doing things when it’s not so busy so it’s clear where changes will deliver bottomline results. It often seems easier to let employees earn a bit extra by letting them take on overtime when things get busy. Make sure only a few hours of production each week come from overtime. It’s cheaper to take on a few hours of overtime than it is to commit to a full-time, or even a part-time, employee week in and week out. If things go beyond a few hours, the profits from additional sales can go right out the window. When production starts to pick up, put out ads for new hires and start interviewing. Line up several good production candidates. If things stay busy, once specific positions exceed 10 to 20 hours of overtime — which, at a time-and-a-half pay rate, is worth 15 to 30 hours of straight time — it’s probably time to make an offer to one or more qualified candidates. When sales first tick up, the sales team may hesitate to increase prices. Those initial extra orders seem so wonderful, the temptation is to not risk losing anything by negotiating. That has to change quickly, as increased production will use up old inventory and ordering new materials will probably cost more – and then there’s that overtime to pay for. Have a meeting each week to monitor backlog, delivery schedules, production snags, inventory status, workforce depth, sales pipeline, profit margin, and hot customer and prospect needs. Have both sales and operations sit down to talk about what’s coming and brainstorm how to manage through any bubbles. Set up a flash report that helps identify trends as they flow through from pipeline to orders to production and profit. Graphs are usually easier to read than raw numbers. Post information so employees can talk about results and contribute ideas on how to make things better. Looking for a good book?

ith its hotel and restaurant industries thriving, Danbury has the lowest unemployment rate in Connecticut and also is growing goods-producing jobs faster than the state as a whole with the help of big corporate players in the pharmaceutical arena. “In three years, we had more than a 60 percent increase in the number of restaurants and more hotel rooms per capita than in any state,” said Stephen Bull, president and CEO of the Greater Danbury Chamber of Commerce. “We still have more coming in. If that’s not a barometer of the future strength in our corporate community, I don’t know what is.” The Danbury labor market area had an unemployment rate of 5 percent in June, compared to a 6.4 percent jobless rate statewide, according to a state Department of Labor report. The area saw a 1.7 increase in goods-producing jobs compared to June 2013, more than the 0.5 percent increase in the state. The Danbury labor area added 500 net jobs in June compared to June 2013, a 0.7 percent gain. That was led by the government sector, which added 400 jobs, a 4.8 percent change, goods-producing industries, with an increase of 200 jobs, and leisure and hospitality, which rose by 100 jobs, or 1.5 percent. The service sector gained 300 jobs, a 0.5 percent increase. Trade, transportation and utilities in Danbury lost 200 jobs in June compared to June 2013, down 1.2 percent. Professional and business services saw a year-over-year drop of 1.3 percent, with the industry employing 100 fewer people than last June. Despite a drop in retail jobs, which fall under the trade sector, The Danbury Fair Mall, one of the largest shopping centers in New England, regularly attracts customers within a 70-mile radius, Bull said. On any given weekend, about 40 to 50 percent of the cars parked outside the mall have a New York license plate, he said. The store occupancy rate remains relatively high with many big-name and luxury retailers coming in. “If a store at the mall is not being occupied, that means they are trying to decide from a list of applicants who they want to put in there,” Bull said. “Last year alone it added big-name retailers, including Red Robin and Arhaus, a two-story luxury

furniture store.” Not only is there a steady increase in the number of retailers coming into the city, but there is a strong staple of businesses that keep Danbury’s job market and economy ripe. In 2009, Matrix Realty Group L.L.C., a privately held real estate investment firm based in Smithtown, N.Y., purchased Danbury’s Matrix Corporate Center on Old Ridgebury Road, with tenants including industrial gas company Praxair Inc., Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals and General Motors. A number of companies are expanding, including Belimo Air Control USA Inc., which is closing on a new 200,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in the city. MannKind Corp., a biopharmaceutical company that has

been in Danbury for the last seven years, is seeking city approval for new land to increase the size and scope of its facility. “It’s reclaiming a brownfield and waiting for approval on a drug from the FDA,” Bull said. “The new drug will be used to treat different types of breathing problems. If that’s approved, the company will be ramping up employment and hiring over 200 people.” More businesses are enrolling in the chamber each year. The majority of new members this year have been small businesses. Members range from single entrepreneurs in startups to large employers such as General Electric. The chamber represents 1,200 businesses that together employ more than 100,000 people, said JoAnn Cueva, coordinator for the Women’s Business Council, a pro-

gram within the chamber. The business community is thriving, Cueva said. Many of the small businesses in Danbury are looking for a “leg up” by networking and building relationships to get their names out in the community, she added. The chamber caters to that need with Business After Business networking events and workshops on topics such as career and leadership development and business negotiation tactics. New this year, the chamber is hosting executive peer advisory groups – monthly round-table meetings at which CEOs and those in upper management share advice, moderated by a facilitator involved with the Westchester Business Accelerator. The facilitator had previously been with Yahoo Inc.

FLPs and the financial kid gloves they require

or many individuals, family limited partnerships (FLPs) have become an estate planning basic. But you must be cautious about either establishing or managing one of these arrangements. The IRS frequently challenges their validity in court. With a typical FLP, you transfer business interests, marketable securities, real estate or other assets to a limited partnership, keeping a small general partnership interest (say, 1 percent) and a large limited partnership interest. Over time, you transfer limited partnership interests to your children, removing the value of those interests from your taxable estate while retaining management control. Limited partnership interests are relatively unmarketable and give the holder little or no control over partnership affairs. As a result, they enjoy significant valuation discounts (often 30 percent or more) for gift and estate tax purposes. The IRS, however, is suspicious of FLPs and often rejects them as nothing more than disguised tax-avoidance vehicles. So it’s critical to have documentation proving a legitimate nontax purpose for

setting up the arrangement. The agency’s approaches to challenging FLPs are complex and multifold. Just one example is the step transaction theory. Here the IRS argues that gifts of FLP units are essentially equivalent to gifts of the assets originally contributed to the partnership – thus, the FLP should be declared invalid. The IRS has generally been unsuccessful in court at arguing this theory when an FLP is formed and funded with careful consideration to the rules. But when shortcuts have been taken, the agency has been successful in its challenges. Such shortcuts include gifting FLP units before or on the same day the partnership is formed and funded. Establishing a legitimate nontax purpose for an FLP is easier when the entity holds a family business or other closely held business. These partnerships offer many nontax business benefits, including: · maintaining ownership within the family; · allowing the older generation to transfer ownership interests without diluting their control; and · providing some protection against credi-

tors’ claims. It’s harder to establish a nontax purpose when an FLP holds marketable securities. Courts have denied tax benefits when they concluded that FLPs holding marketable securities were formed for personal reasons – such as tax reduction, estate planning, protection of wealth against dissipation by children or the financial education of children. On the other hand, families have succeeded in preserving the tax benefits of an FLP when they were able to show legitimate investment objectives, such as coordinating management of family assets to preserve holdings in a particular stock, or pooling assets to reduce investment management expenses or qualify for investment opportunities that require larger positions. Whether your FLP holds business interests or other assets, your stated nontax purpose must be a real one, not merely a pretext. To convince the IRS or the courts of your motives, it’s critical to treat the FLP as a legitimate business or investment vehicle. That means ensuring your partnership agreement and other terms

of your arrangement are comparable to arm’s-length transactions, respecting all partnership formalities, and segregating personal funds from partnership funds. Avoid actions that may raise red flags, such as transferring assets to an FLP when you’re in poor health, contributing substantially all of your wealth to the FLP, commingling FLP and personal assets or using FLP assets for personal expenses. Pay particular care to the formation and management of the partnership. Use valid, formal documents vetted by your attorney and financial adviser. FLPs may seem like more trouble than they’re worth. But for higher-net-worth families looking to preserve wealth for future generations, these vehicles really can pay off in the long run – if they’re properly formed and managed.

A collective voice for historic preservationists Sometimes it is hard to explain what we do at the Cultural Alliance. Part of that is because the organizations, people and businesses we support are the ones creating the tangible product and work while we are providing the support to help them create. However, sometimes it’s just because “arts and culture” is such a broad category and we want to help the entire field, including those areas that aren’t immediately recognized. We do support the artists, theaters, museums and symphonies in the area, but did you know that we also support the nature centers? The libraries? The historical societies? We are constantly striving to make an impact on all arts and culture throughout Fairfield County. As an example, we heard that preservationists and preservation societies felt isolated — that they wanted a way to come together with other like-minded professionals and volunteers to discuss the challenges and issues everyone was facing day to day in historic preservation. We convened a group of interested parties to develop the structure of this network, the benefits of joining and the needs of this group. We are excited to announce that this year we will be kicking off our Fairfield County Preservation Network. Like the Cultural Alliance, preservationists are often working in the background. One marvels at the beautiful historic barn, but is perhaps unaware of the years that went into saving and restoring the structure. One notices the widely varied historic bridges on the Merritt Parkway, but doesn’t consider that there are women and men working hard to maintain those bridges and ensure that any repair preserves their unique architecture. There is a lot of hard work being done all around us in the arts and culture field that goes unseen and unsung. Here at the Cultural Alliance we are proud to give these efforts a collective voice, and to offer these dedicated individuals the opportunity to come together, solve problems as a team and grow as a community.
