KNOW GREATER CONNECTIONS For Resilience and Recovery

Fulfilling our longtime commitment to helping businesses thrive, we extend our support to help sole proprietors, companies and other organizations maintain resilience amid today’s challenges and prepare for rebuilding and recovery.

Now, as misconceptions proliferate among those in need of Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) funding and loan forgiveness, our knowledgeable specialists provide accurate details you can trust.

P Yes! There’s still time to apply for a PPP Loan – The application deadline has been extended from June 30 to August 8, 2020. If you haven’t already applied, you still can…and we can help you complete the form.

P Yes! Independent Contractors CAN apply for PPP loans – You do not have to be on a payroll to apply. Sole proprietors

and independent contractors are absolutely eligible. The SBA bases loan decisions on current need and filed 2019 tax returns.

P Yes! There’s still time to apply for loan forgiveness – Forgiveness applications are due any time before loan maturity,

newly EXTENDED to five years. So take the time you need to manage your business now and get our help with forgiveness application documentation.

P No! There’s no need to return funds before the new 24-week covered period extension – The initial eight-week covered period has been EXTENDED. You now have the option to spend your PPP loan funds over a full six months from the date you received your PPP loan.

P No! Do not jeopardize forgiveness by making mistakes in your application – The forgiveness calculation is

complicated. As borrowers begin to complete forgiveness spreadsheets and submit forgiveness applications, we are seeing numerous errors that can result in outright rejection or lengthy delays when revisions and resubmission are required (should this even be permitted). Don’t risk having to repay your loan when the alternative is simple: our skilled, objective loan forgiveness application review.

Connect with Specialists To discover how PPP provisions affect you and to secure support with your applications, documentation and calculations, please connect with us directly or via e-mail at LoanForgiveness@pkfod.com.

CUMMINGS & LOCKWOOD: PROVIDING PROFESSIONAL EXCELLENCE, INTEGRITY AND SERVICE FOR MORE THAN 100 YEARS

C

ummings & Lockwood was founded in 1909 in Stamford, Conn., by Homer Cummings and Charles Lockwood.

Homer Cummings, a former mayor of Stamford in the early 1900s, was vice chairman of the Democratic National Convention in 1910. He played a pivotal role in the election of President Woodrow Wilson in 1912 and served as the attorney general of the United States under Franklin D. Roosevelt from 1933 to 1939. In addition to his achievements in politics, Mr. Cummings also had an outstanding career as a courtroom lawyer. He served as state attorney for Fairfield County from 1914 to 1928 and handled the famous Israel case, which is noted in all law school classes on crimi-

nal law and highlighted in the famous feature film Boomerang.

Judge Charles Lockwood was first an assistant district attorney in New York City and later, a three-time probate judge in Stamford. He was seriously considered for nomination for governor of Connecticut but devoted himself instead to the business of the Firm.

From its original two-lawyer office in 1909, to the office it occupied for more than 50 years in the former National Bank Building, the Firm continued to grow and moved to Four Stamford Plaza where it spent the next 25 years. In 2006, Cummings & Lockwood moved to its new headquarters at Six Landmark Square in Stamford.

The bank building no longer stands, but Cummings & Lockwood has survived world wars, the Great Depression, the emergence of global markets and technologies and profound changes in the practice of law. Homer Cummings and Charles Lockwood still symbolize the dual strengths of our Firm — full-service representation of businesses combined with personalized service to individuals and families. Indeed, the core principles they imparted — professional excellence, integrity and service — remain hallmarks of the Firm today.

LMC ANNOUNCES START OF CONSTRUCTION AT THE SMYTH APARTMENTS High-Rise Community Will Add 414 Apartment Homes, Retail to Prime Stamford Locale LMC, a national leader in apartment development and management, is developing The Smyth, a luxury mixed-use apartment community located near the confluence of Tresser Boulevard and Washington Boulevard in central Stamford.

The 15-story high-rise will feature 414 apartment homes, an ample 19,330 square feet of retail space and three stories of garage parking, including one underground level. The Smyth will also offer mezzanine-level, co-working spaces, including private offices and conference capabilities, to allow residents to work from home. The Smyth will welcome first residents in 2021.

“Stamford is a highly educated city with a flourishing workforce, and we look forward to joining the area and working to become the best neighbor we can be,” said Greg Belew, division president of the New York/Tri-State area for LMC. “The location is ideal whether residents elect to commute or remain within the neighborhood. We believe our variety of home choices, sophisticated package of amenities and eventual onsite retail will make staying home a viable and

enjoyable option, as well.”

Situated at 885 Washington Boulevard, The Smyth is being constructed with a modern industrial chic aesthetic and will offer walkable access to several shopping, dining and nightlife options from its center-of-town location. Positioned along an active streetscape, the site boasts a Walk Score of 95, indicating a walker’s paradise. The Palace Theater, Stamford Center for The Arts and Miller River Park are among the additional attractions within walking distance.

The site sits within a short drive of Interstate 95, U.S. Route 1 and Merritt Parkway, which provide connectivity to several other key northeast locales. That includes New York City, which sits less than 40 miles to the southwest, and its abundance of employment opportunities. Several Fortune 500 sit within Stamford’s thriving job sector, including Charter Communications, Synchrony Financial and United Rentals. Stamford is also home to the World Headquarters of WWE, and the city’s wide-ranging employment sectors include finance and real estate, technology, management and consulting, digital marketing and healthcare.

The Smyth will offer studio, 1-, 2and 3-bedroom apartment homes with den layouts and two-story penthouses available. Home sizes range from 574 to 2,065 square feet with an average square footage of 854. Apartment interiors will be delivered with quartz countertops, stainless-steel appliances, gas stovetops, hardwood-style flooring, kitchen islands with pendant lighting, custom cabinetry with under-cabinet lighting, walk-in closets, walk-in showers and bathroom cabinets with high-end finishes. Residents will also have access to a variety of to-beannounced smart-home features.

Community amenities will include a landscaped rooftop deck with resortstyle pool and sundeck, cabanas, outdoor lounges with fire pits and barbecue grills. Additional common-area features include a club-quality fitness center with yoga/spin room and motivational wall, resident clubhouse with catering kitchen and game tables, coffee bar, media room/ lounge, teaching kitchen and dog run with dog wash station. Residents will also be able to utilize dry cleaning drop off, digital package lockers, bike storage, bike repair shop and rentable storage units.

While LMC has been increasingly active in the northeast market, The Smyth will mark the company’s initial development in Connecticut.

About LMC LMC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lennar (NYSE:LEN), is a multifamily real estate development and operating company with a diverse portfolio of institutional quality multifamily rental communities across the US.
