Review of plans for Dobbs Ferry building expected to continue
By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com
The Dobbs Ferry Planning Board is expected to have on its Jan. 8 meeting agenda plans for a 16-unit apartment building to be constructed at 33 Main St. in the village. Dobbs View Realty, LLC originally was seeking site plan approval and a Special Use Permit for a building with 19 apartments, but that number was trimmed as plans were revised to deal with various comments.
The building as now proposed would be four stories with seven one-bedroom units, eight two-bedroom apartments and one three-bedroom unit. Four of the apartments, twice the number required by the village, would be priced to be affordable for tenants earning 80% of the Area Median Income.
The building site consists of a vacant 0.2-acre lot in Dobbs Ferry’s Downtown Transition zone and is within walking distance of the Dobbs Ferry Metro-North train station. The fourth floor would be stepped back from the front of the building, providing a patio area, and additional amenity decks would be provided on the rooftop. The upper stories would overhang to the south, providing a driveway route underneath that would utilize the slope of the site to access a basement garage and parking area with 15 spaces and bicycle storage. New landscaping would screen the rear of the building and provide trees along the street.
When the Westchester County Planning Board reviewed the plan,
“While the transitoriented, 16unit project includes affordable housing and modern amenities, county and village officials are seeking further environmental and safety reviews.”
it expressed concern that a retaining wall planned to help deal with the slope of the property could have negative effects on the surrounding hillside. It said that the town should “ensure that potential environmental impacts are remediated, for instance an increase in downhill stormwater runoff, the possibility of landslides, and the reduction of vegetation.”
While the county welcomed having a bicycle parking area within the building it recommended that the area include electrical outlets to charge e-bicycles. At the same time, it warned that there is a fire risk associated with e-bike batteries, particularly when tenants charge them using extension cords.
“Providing a centralized, sprinklered storage facility with appropriate outlets for charging is the best way to prevent fires and accommodate this form of transportation to and from the building,” the County Planning Board said.
In a Nov. 11 memo, a planning consultant for the village advised the developer that additional details and studies were needed regarding environmental issues of concern including: stabilization of steep slopes; excavation required from the site; methods of erosion and sediment control and stormwater management; construction phasing, duration of construction, and truck traffic; landscaping and site restoration; visual impact analysis; an exterior lighting plan; traffic analysis including internal maneuverability of vehicles; and fire department access.

Lamont, other Dems: Housing growth act only start of fixing crisis
By Gary Larkin / glarkin@westfairinc.com
NORWALK – Gov. Ned Lamont and a Democratic contingent of state and municipal elected officials celebrated housing legislation passed in a special session, but there was a caveat. It’s only a start at addressing a housing crisis that is leaving a whole generation of residents behind.
“This housing crisis that we have won’t be solved with one bill,” state Sen. Bob Duff of Norwalk, who is the majority leader. “We will continue to work at it and make a difference for the people we serve to guarantee there is housing for everyone.”
Gov. Lamont ceremonially signed the housing growth legislation with Oak Grove Apartments, a 69-unit affordable housing apartment complex, serving as a backdrop.
“I thought about Norwalk,” Lamont said. “I thought about (Mayor) Harry Rilling. What you did in terms of housing by taking those old parking lots and schools, I saw what it meant for Norwalk and the community.”
Oak Grove includes mixed-income housing development with a 4,500-square-foot community center that features on-site property management offices, fitness center, and a Learning Center for K-5th grade students.
To understand the breath of the housing availability gap, one only needs to read state Rep. Cristin McCarthy Vahey’s latest constituent alert. It read: “Between February 2017 and February 2025, median home values rose from $147,941 in Bridgeport to $332,836 and from $572,499 in Fairfield to $865,670 with rents averaging $1,500 and $3,000, respectively.”
Evonne Klein, former Darien first selectman and an affordable housing advocate, was on hand for the bill signing. She believes it will go a long way toward improving the dearth of such housing.
“It certainly means growth for a lot of communities and (gives them the time) to get serious about those plans that have serious results for people of all incomes who need housing,” she said.
“More units need to be built in our communities across the state of Connecticut, especially here in
Fairfield County. We have the opportunity where we have state funding in this bill and incentives for the infrastructure that we have needed.”
Vahey and Duff were one of a handful of state delegation of Democrats at Oak Grove at Lamont’s bill signing. Others include state Reps. Kadeem Roberts of Norwalk, Laurie Sweet of Hamden (chair and vice chair of the End Homelessness Caucus), House Majority Leader Jason Rojas of East Hartford and Sen. Ceci Maher. They were joined by Mayors Caroline Simmons and Laura Hoydick of Stamford and Stratford, respectively as well as Norwalk Mayor-elect Barbara Smyth.
Ridgefield First Selectman Rudolph Marconi, who is also chair of the Western Council of Governments (COG), laid down the charge the municipal organization faces under the new legislation.
“We have a lot of work to do,” Marconi said. “We have 18 municipalities in our COG, and they’re all different. They’re all silos; we heard that. Everyone wants what they want in their community. But the COG’s responsibility is pulling this all together. There should not be anyone who has an excuse for not providing affordability.”
Under the legislation, the different COGs throughout the state are given the power to make housing decisions with the input of their municipalities.
“It’s about smart growth,” Lamont said. “It is about towns taking the lead, showing us how you want to do it. Mayors really like to get stuff done. It’s really important for me to get the mayors on board.
“When it comes to planning and zoning, they do a lot of zoning but sometimes you have to think a little bit more about planning as well. That’s what this bill is all about. Towns, show us what you want to do it.”
The legislation that Lamont signed centralizes housing decisions with the following actions:
• Regional housing plans It shifts the responsibility for developing housing growth plans from individual municipalities to regional Councils of Governments (COGs). The COGs recommend municipal housing goals, and towns can provide input.
“You’re not serious about affordability unless you are serious about housing.”
off-street parking requirements for residential developments with up to 16 units, though municipalities can require a needs assessment for larger projects.
• Fair rent commissions It lowers the population threshold, requiring towns with 15,000 or more residents (down from 25,000) to establish or join a regional fair rent commission.
• DOH Authority The bill establishes the Department of Housing as a statewide housing authority, enabling it to develop affordable housing on state-owned land.
• Hostile architecture ban The legislation bans "hostile architecture," such as armrests in the middle of benches, designed to prevent people experiencing homelessness from resting.
• First-time homebuyer accounts The bill makes changes to rules for first-time homebuyer savings accounts, allowing anyone to contribute and specifying eligible uses for the funds, such as down payments and closing costs.
While the event Monday was mainly attended by Democrats, Lamont acknowledged the pushback he received from Republicans. That led to the governor’s veto of the original legislation and a new bill created in the recent special session.
When Lamont initially signed the bill in late November, Sen. Ryan Fazio, R-Stamford who is running for governor, assailed the governor.
• Incentives and fundingMunicipalities that comply with the new planning requirements become eligible for grants for public infrastructure projects (like water and sewer expansion) and increased state reimbursement rates for school construction projects.
• Parking requirements The law generally prohibits minimum
— Gov. Ned Lamont
"Today (Nov. 26) Governor Lamont ignored countless messages from residents requesting omnibus HB 8002 be vetoed and signed into law without fanfare," Fazio said. "This 53-section law, which never received a single public hearing, is a historic attack on local control of decision making for our towns and cities. I have been one of the fiercest advocates for local control over zoning and housing."
Gov. Lamont shot back at that criticism on Monday.
“Some critics of the bill have said, ‘what housing crisis?’ There are lot of homes in my district,” Lamont said. “That is dead wrong. I hear what all the naysayers are saying. But it’s important and key to the future of the state. It gives young people the very best opportunity and their grandparents a chance to downsize as well. You’re not serious about affordability unless you are serious about housing.”

Chappaqua Crossing retail sells for $76.5M
By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com
“The
sale of Chappaqua Crossing represented a unique opportunity to purchase a Whole Foodsanchored center in an incredibly high barriersto-entry Westchester County market.”
— Jeffrey Dunne, CBRE
A Delaware limited liability company, TR Chappaqua Crossing LLC, has taken title to the retail complex known as Chappaqua Crossing at the former home of Reader’s Digest in Chappaqua from HVP IV Chappaqua LLC, also a Delaware limited liability company, according to documents filed with the Westchester County Clerk’s Office. The sale price was $76.5 million.
The real estate services firm CBRE, which handled the sale identified the buyer as Barings, LLC, an international investment manager and the seller as Heitman, the Chicago-based real estate management firm that had bought the property in 2022. The reported transaction price in the 2022 transaction was $79.5 million. The retail property at the Reader’s Digest site is separately owned from the residential uses at the site.
The 120,986-square-foot retail center is anchored by Whole Foods, Life Time Fitness, Starbucks and Chase Bank, and is situated between the Saw Mill Parkway and Route 117. Shortly after acquiring Chappaqua Crossing in 2022, Heitman went to the Town of New Castle seeking to modify some conditions in the approved site plans. It said the changes would help fill
retail vacancies and boost existing businesses at the site.
CBRE said that Jeffrey Dunne, David Gavin and Travis Langer of its National Retail Partners operation represented Heitman in the sale and also procured Barings, LLC as the buyer.
Dunne commented, “The sale of Chappaqua Crossing represented a unique opportunity to purchase a Whole Foods-anchored center in an incredibly high barriers-to-entry Westchester County market.”
CBRE said that Chappaqua Crossing, which took more than 12 years to secure approvals and construct, encompasses 114-acres and in addition to the retail center includes more than 500,000 square feet of medical/ office space, 64 apartments, and 91 townhomes recently completed by Toll Brothers.
Barings, a major global investment manager, recently expanded its real estate investments with the acquisition of Artemis Real Estate Partners, an $11-billion real estate investment firm. Barings said the acquisition would strengthen its position in the U.S. real estate market and accelerate long-term growth by combining investment capabilities and expertise.

By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com
A ribbon-cutting ceremony marked the formal opening of the new headquarters of Community Housing Innovations (CHI) at One North Broadway in downtown White Plains. CHI’s new offices cover 9,800 square feet, nearly double the size of CHI’s former offices on South Broadway.
One North Broadway is part of White Plains Plaza, a complex that also includes 445 Hamilton Ave. The complex recently underwent a capital improvement program which included new lobbies, amenities, restrooms and corridors along with exterior improvements.
“We are absolutely thrilled to have our headquarters in this beautiful office tower,” CHI’s CEO Ron Abad said. “Downtown White Plains is enjoying a remarkable renaissance, and we’re excited and proud to be a part of it.”
White Plains Mayor Tom Roach said that he and members of the city’s Common Council are pleased that CHI is keeping its headquarters in the city.
“The City of White Plains is proud of its leadership in the development of affordable housing and grateful for its partnership with CHI,” Roach said. “I congratulate and wish the CHI team the best of luck in its new
space as they continue to provide critical services for the residents of the City of White Plains and Westchester County.”
Also on hand was White Plains Councilman Justin Brasch, who was elected mayor in the November election. Roach was elected Westchester County Clerk.
The county’s Director of Economic Development Bridget Gibbons said, “Safe, affordable housing is fundamental to a strong and resilient local economy. Westchester County is proud to support Community Housing Innovations as they expand their ability to serve our most vulnerable residents. Partners like CHI help ensure that individuals and families have the stability and resources they need to stay housed and build a secure future.”

White Oaks at Wilton apartments go for $41.5M
By Gary Larkin / glarkin@westfairinc.com
WILTON – Fairfield-based CT Realty Trust has purchased the 100-unit White Oaks at Wilton for $41.5 million in a tenant-in-common-interest transaction that closed Nov. 25, according to a deed filed with the town on Tuesday.
The acquisition was arranged by CBRE, who represented the seller REIF III-116 Danbury Road LLC and its investment advisor LaSalle Investment Management and procured the purchaser. Connecticut Realty Trust is multifamily owner, operator and developer with more than 1,200 units under management.
CT Realty Trust, which is a vertically integrated real estate investment firm founded in 2009 by the father-son duo, Bard and Robert Kligerman, has made 31 investments and $273 million in transactions and $55 million in distributions to date. Its portfolio includes Seabreeze Apartments, Colonial Gardens and properties in the East End and North End of Bridgeport. Most of its properties are located in Greater Hartford.
As for the White Oaks transaction,
REIF III-116 Danbury Road LLC traded its 21.5% interest in the apartment complex to Connecticut Realty Trust. It had owned the property along with Coney Island Ave. LLC and TCW White Oak LLC. A tenant in common (TIC) interest sale means one co-owner sells their share of a property, often without needing other owners' consent. TIC allows multiple parties to hold ownership interests in a property, offering flexibility in ownership percentages.
“White Oaks at Wilton represents exactly the type of high-quality community we aim to grow our platform around,” said Bard Kligerman, CEO of CT Realty Trust. “As we continue to scale both our acquisitions and our ground-up development pipeline, we’re focused on delivering best-inclass housing to communities across Connecticut and the Northeast.”
CBRE was led on the sale by Jeffrey Dunne, Eric Apfel, Stuart MacKenzie, and Travis Langer.
White Oaks includes an extensive amenity package, including a heated swimming pool, fitness center, and
outdoor recreational spaces. Constructed in 2011, the 129,588-square-foot White Oaks at Wilton apartment building comprises 100 units of the following unit mix:
• One Bedroom/Townhouse/ Loft/One Bath
• Three Bedroom/Townhouse/ Loft/Two Bath
• Three Bedroom/Townhouse/ Two and One Half Bath
• Two Bedroom/Townhouse/ Loft/Two Bath
• Two Bedroom/Townhouse/ Two and One Half Bath, Two Bedroom/Townhouse/Two Bath
• Two Bedroom/Two Bath.
"We are pleased to have represented LaSalle Investment Management in this transaction," Dunne said. "White Oaks at Wilton exemplifies an institutionally maintained multifamily community, and its excellent location combined with the buyer's planned improvements will ensure its continued success."
Apfel, first vice president at CBRE, spoke to the investment element of the deal.
“White Oaks at Wilton is a standout investment in a thriving community. The combination of its strategic location, attractive assumable debt, and the potential for value-add renovations makes it a compelling opportunity for investors looking to capitalize on the growing demand for high-quality multifamily housing in this affluent market.”

New developer activates Embassy project in Port Chester
By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com
After several months of being adjourned, a plan to redevelop about a block of North Main Street in Port Chester that includes demolishing the long-shuttered Embassy Theatre has been brought back before the Port Chester Planning Commission by a new developer. Embassy Equity Partners LLC has made some changes in the project originally proposed by GS Port Chester Owner LLC, which surrendered its contractual rights as contract vendee for the properties at 128-156 North Main St.
The initial application for site plan approval for redevelopment of the theatre and surrounding buildings was made in April 2023 by GS Port Chester LLC and through August 2024 the proposed project was reviewed by the Planning Commission. Review of the application was subsequently adjourned by request of the former applicant from Jan. 2025 through Sept. 2025. According to revised architectural site plans prepared by Lessard
Design Inc., that are dated Nov. 4, the eight-story building would have 250 units, an increase of five units from what was previously proposed and with a different mix of apartment sizes. Currently proposed are 30 studios, 122 one-bedroom apartments, 86 two-bedroom apartments and 12 three-bedroom units. Ten percent of the units would be priced as affordable housing. There also would be 8,000 square feet of ground floor commercial space in the building.
“This development will be supported by 375 offstreet, structured parking spaces, including 125 spaces that will be reserved for municipal public parking spaces governed by a Memorandum of Understanding to be executed between the Village Board of Trustees and the applicant,” Attorney Anthony B. Gioffre III of the White Plains-based law firm Cuddy & Feder told the Planning Commission.
“As an outgrowth of meetings with village staff, including members of the Fire Department, the applicant
is also showing the relocation of the Marvin Place parking spaces from the eastern side of Marvin Place to the western side, which will facilitate improved emergency response access.”
In a departure from what was originally shown to Port Chester, the newly-proposed building has been designed to create the appearance of three individual buildings along North Main Street and draws from some of the traditional architecture seen in Port Chester buildings from the late 19th century and early 20th century.
“The design pays homage to the Embassy Theatre structure, which was built in 1926 but has since fallen into disrepair and is proposed for demolition,” Gioffre said. “The architectural goal was for the new development to provide an appearance of an original structure wrapped in new construction.”
The Embassy Theatre, designed by prominent theater architect Thomas Lamb had 1,591 seats. It presented vaudeville and switched to silent films and then talkies. For a short time in the late 1930s, the Embassy hosted live shows and then went back to showing movies. The owners of the Embassy and the own -
ers of Port Chester's Capitol Theatre, also designed by Thomas Lamb, competed to book the best films. The Embassy closed as a movie theater in the early 1980s. In 1986, it was reopened as a dance club but quickly closed.
Gioffre pointed out that the new proposal would help bring additional vitality to the downtown area through new commercial activity as well as pedestrian improvements including replacement sidewalks, new street lighting and new trees along North Main Street, Highland Street, and Marvin Place.
Gioffre said that the development would provide a “range of residential units compatible with the lifestyles of singles, young professionals, and empty-nesters” in addition to supporting Port Chester’s transit-oriented development objectives while boosting the economy.
Gioffre noted that a new study of school-age children who would be living in the new building and attending the Port Chester Public Schools now shows that the revised unit mix would generate up to 14 school-aged children, fewer than the 42 who were estimated would be living in the development as it was originally proposed.

The Picklr franchisee applies for special permit in Greenburgh
By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com
Westfair’s Westchester County Business Journal reported in September on a plan to open a franchise of the indoor pickleball court company The Picklr in the building formerly occupied by BuyBuy BABY at 1019 Central Park Ave. in the Town of Greenburgh. The franchise holder now has applied to the Greenburgh Planning Board for approval of the special permit it will need.
The Picklr, headquartered in Kaysville, Utah, currently has about 500 franchisees throughout the U.S. with about 100 locations open. It was started in 2021 with a company-owned location at Unitah, Utah, that was followed by additional company-owned sites. Expanding into franchising has resulted in substantial growth for the company.
A Special Use Permit for a fully enclosed commercial recreation facility is being sought by The Pickleballerz Westchester LLC, which is headquartered in Irvington. The Planning Board began reviewing the application and scheduled a public hearing for its Jan. 7 meeting. It was expecting to be able to hear at that time from town staff about new signage that would go up at the site and also intended to conduct an environmental review.
The proposed facility would encompass approximately 22,000 square feet and contain eight pickleball courts. The Picklr frequently has 10 courts at its sites. In Greenburgh, there would be spaces from which spectators could view the play taking place. The view-
ing areas will be strategically positioned to allow comfortable viewing of the courts without interfering with play. A reception area would have a small retail space offering pickleball equipment, apparel and related merchandise. A dedicated community room will be available for group meetings, private parties, lessons, clinics, and various other events. Locker and shower facilities will be provided for both male and female patrons. Private treatment rooms are planned to offer services such as sports massage or physical therapy. There also would be administrative and storage spaces.
The site of the proposed facility covers approximately 5.69 acres on the westerly side of Central Park Avenue across the street from the intersection of Central Park Avenue and Inverness Road. A parking and traffic study by DTS Provident Design Engineering found that the pickleball operation would generate less traffic than did BuyBuy BABY and there are more than enough parking spaces available at the site for the intended use.
The Pickleballerz Westchester LLC said that the proposal is not anticipated to adversely impact the character or quality of the surrounding community and will not create a hazard to environmental resources or human health.
According to Jason Bauerle, director of build-out for The Picklr, the business model is built around memberships and reservations for use
of the pickleball courts.
“One to four people can reserve and play on a court at a time,” Bauerle said. “Because of this we would have up to four members per court in the facility at a time. We have designed other spaces in the facility to give our patrons a relaxed and comfortable experience.”
Bauerle explained that many members meet with others in their group in a lounge area before playing and then gather afterward to socialize and
review the games. He also said that community rooms can be rented out.
“Often, we will have small groups that want to have a team building event, we will reserve the whole facility for them to use; no other customer would be allowed in during this blocked off time,” Bauerle said. “They commonly want to have a space where they will have a quick meeting or presentation; this (community) room will accommodate that experience.”

Delivering a more effective approach to Westchester's food insecurity
“At DoorDash, we know that nutrition is key to building healthy communities… Together, we’re ensuring that eligible Medicaid beneficiaries can receive essential nutrition without facing transportation or mobility barriers.”
— Daniel Riff, DoorDash
On Wednesday, Dec. 10, Feeding Westchester , the county’s food bank, celebrated its 1,000th delivery to qualified Medicaid recipients via DoorDash, the nation’s largest food delivery platform. It’s the result of an innovative new partnership across the business, government and nonprofit sectors designed to increase outreach to the hungry in Westchester County by integrating social challenges like food insecurity, along with housing affordability and transportation access, into the healthcare system.
To affect this outreach, Feeding Westchester – which serves nearly 300 programs and partners, including 170 food pantries and soup kitchens that receive almost 250,000 visits a month – contracted in January with the new Hudson Valley Care Coalition (HVCC), which New York state has designated as the lead entity for the area’s Social Care Network (SCN). Headquartered in Tarrytown, the HVCC addresses health-related social needs, such as food insecurity, housing instability and lack of transportation, for Medicaid beneficiaries in Westchester, Rockland, Putnam, Orange, Dutchess, Sullivan and Ulster counties. It is one of nine Social Care Networks in New York, which the state created under a Section 1115 Medicaid waiver that allows states to think outside the box to implement better health outcomes.
"At DoorDash, we know that nutrition is key to building healthy communities,” Daniel Riff, head of government and nonprofit operations, said in a statement. “Through Project DASH,, we’re supporting the transformative work of Social Care Networks across New York and are thrilled to see partners like Feeding Westchester tap into our delivery platform to quickly and easily scale their programs under the Medicaid 1115 Waiver. Together,
we’re ensuring that eligible Medicaid beneficiaries can receive essential nutrition without facing transportation or mobility barriers.”
New York’s waiver project, up for renewal in 2027, is considered a bellwether in Medicaid innovation, said Amie Parikh, HVCC’s CEO: “New York state went all in from the beginning, integrating health-related social needs into the healthcare system.” (Connecticut has used the 1115 waiver to address substance abuse, while North Carolina has tapped into the waiver in rural areas to pay farmers to feed the hungry.)
Under the 1115 waiver, New York state received $7.1 billion from the federal government, regranting $44 million to the Hudson Valley via HVCC, which in turn is putting $1 million of administrative infrastructure into Feeding Westchester’s delivery of medically tailored, shelf-stable food boxes to qualified Medicaid recipients.
“We would never have had the capital to be playing a health-care role,” said Brad Kerner, vice president of community engagement and impact at Feeding Westchester, which received
a $2.4 million cut from the federal government for this fiscal year. “This way we can concentrate on what we do best – feeding people.”
HVCC works with 150 organizations, such as United Way 211, to identify those Medicaid participants who would best benefit from the program, including the homebound. At first, Feeding Westchester incorporated deliveries of food to these beneficiaries into its schedule of drop-offs to food pantries and soup kitchens. After 204 deliveries, the food bank realized this was not the most efficient way to do this, Kerner said. Enter its partnership with DoorDash, which began deliveries Oct. 15.
The result has been a win, win, win, said Kerner, with the food bank and the food delivery giant finding a reliable partner in each other and participants receiving four rotating boxes of proteins, grains and fruits and vegetables on Wednesday mornings, enough to supplement three meals a day, seven days a week. Parikh stressed that those who do not qualify for the program are not abandoned. Rather, HVCC and its partners work with them to obtain other county and state resources.
The Dec. 10 milestone comes at a moment when the issue of food insecurity has never been more urgent -- and more confusing. The Supplemental
This way we can concentrate on what we do best – feeding people.”

Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) became a political football during the recent federal government shutdown. Now the Trump Administration –seeking, it said, to eliminate fraud and waste – is threatening to withhold SNAP administrative funding from 20-plus Democratic-led states, including New York and Connecticut, that have refused to provide recipients’ personal data, such as immigration status and Social Security numbers. For their part, the Democratic states have said that the federal government has all the information it needs to keep the program honest and that the request for more has already been blocked by one court.
But as The Washington Post reported: “(U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Brook) Rollins claimed that data USDA had received from complying states showed '186,000 dead people receiving benefits, 500,000 Americans receiving benefits two times, so double what they should be receiving. We’ve arrested more than 120 people with SNAP fraud.’”
Of some 42 million SNAP recipients nationwide – with nearly three million in New York state and more than 390,000 in Connecticut – almost 90% were born in the United States. Come Jan. 1, they will be facing new restrictions on what they can buy with those benefits and new work requirements. Most who can work, do so, but they do not earn a living wage.
Even in Westchester, one of the wealthiest counties in the U.S., there are some 74,000 SNAP recipients. More than one in three residents, 39% of the county’s population, is food insecure. “That’s mind-boggling,” Kerner said. He added that according to United Way’s ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) data, a family of four in Westchester needs an income of $133,000 to meet its basic needs.
Meeting those needs, including food, housing and transportation, makes for healthier citizens, Kerner and Parikh said. And that, they added, makes for a healthier, wealthier society.

Business Travel Talk: The Muse New York, Manhattan
By Jeremy Wayne / jwayne@westfairinc.com
We all need a hotel room in New York City from time to time – for an overnight stay following a late business dinner, perhaps; a pre- or post-celebration; or a suggestion for friends visiting from out of town. The list is endless.
Whatever your reason, it’s all too easy to default to Expedia or apps like Hotel Tonight to find an inexpensive bed for the night. Only, what you’ll find instead is that there are no longer bargain beds in New York City, only a handful that are less eye-wateringly expensive than the rest.
One of that handful is The Muse New York, which is this year celebrating its silver anniversary as a hotel. Converted in the 2000s, the hotel was acquired by the California-based hotel investor Chartres Lodging Group in 2022, which gave the 130 West 46th St. property a complete makeover, including a full repositioning of its eight balcony suites. The new accommodations have large layouts,
with some suites also featuring flexible living spaces for extended stays.
One of the last “independents” in the city – meaning it is unaffiliated – and with a perfect location, slap-bang in the heart of midtown, the hotel includes an especially friendly and accommodating lobby and housekeeping staff; spiffy, updated rooms that, on the three random dates I recently checked, were offered on the hotel’s own website at a good 15% below their nearest equivalents; and a real sense of being a “non-chain” hotel – if being a “non”-something can communicate a sense of what it actually is.
Let me elaborate on that midtown location. Step into The Muse, only minutes away from Times Square, and what you experience is a welcome sense of calm, a “reprieve” from the neighborhood, as the hotel’s dedicated general manager, Natalie Bogan, whom I met on my recent visit, described it.
Staying just a night at this handy,
per-friendly hostelry, I noticed from the moment of my arrival how The Muse stood out from the crowd of faceless chain hotels in the immediate area. Greeted enthusiastically by concierge Daniel Mitchell, who dealt with check-in under a minute, I was whisked via a dedicated upper floors elevator directly to my 18th floor suite. (I never had to wait more than a few seconds for an elevator.)
At the hotel’s Little Opus café and bar, I met bartender Aurelio Rojas, a trained chef and former “MasterChef” contender who has worked at restaurants and especially restaurants and stores around the city. When I asked him for a cocktail recommendation, he said the one he most enjoys making is an Old-Fashioned. His not-so-secret twist on this classic cocktail? Cooking off the sugar syrup so that it has a whisper of caramel, and then adding a touch of salt – not even a pinch, more like a few grains. The care really tells in the taste. (I’d forgotten how much I like an Old-Fashioned.)
Plus, the small menu is streets
“I want The Muse to be the biggest and the best. I want it to be my legacy.”
— Natalie Bogan, General Manager, The Muse New York
ahead of the usual plodding midtown hotel fare. The pretzel beef sliders and piping hot French fries, for instance, were award-worthy. I rarely eat a restaurant hamburger or sliders these days, mainly because I reckon I can grill a perfectly good beef patty at home but also because I want to avoid the terrific calorie bomb. So when I do, it’s going to need to be good. And these sliders were extremely good –excellent, indeed.
There’s also a cool ATM by the elevators that looks more like a futuristic TV screen. If you have to withdraw your hard-earned cash out of a machine, the experience might as well be fun, right?
Although there is no dedicated event or meeting space, The Muse partners with Convene, a full-service venue for meetings and workshops and small private events, situated diagonally across the street from the hotel. And spa services are provided by the Joanna Vargas spa, just a couple of blocks away on Fifth Avenue, where Muse guests receive a 20% discount on treatments.
But perhaps the biggest news since the 2022 takeover of the property is the upcoming opening of a 4,000-square-foot jazz club in The Muse’s basement, a space that previously housed meeting rooms and a fitness area. Slated for a spring 2026 launch, the club will feature high caliber programming with Grammy-Award-winning artists, so that it looks like it's becoming a major new asset, not just for the neighborhood, but for the entire city.
General manager Natalie Bogan, meanwhile, makes no secret of her passion for The Muse and her dedication to seeing it succeed. As a former general manager at The Smyth, Tribeca, which she successfully rebranded and reopened, and more recently as general manager of the more corporate Crowne Plaza Times Square, she paid tribute to The Muse’s owners, who, she said, gave her “freedom of creativity and independence.”
And single-minded in her mission, she added: “I want The Muse to be the biggest and the best. I want it to be my legacy."

Fight the winter blues with double amaryllis
By Melinda Myers
Add unique flair to this winter’s indoor garden and décor with double amaryllis. The several layers of colorful petals are sure to make a statement wherever they are displayed.
Start the amaryllis season with early blooming varieties grown in the Southern Hemisphere. Double Alaska features frilly, fully double white flowers with a lime green center. Keep the color coming throughout the winter by growing a variety of other double amaryllis grown in the Northern Hemisphere that begin blooming in January. Plant a few bulbs every three weeks to extend your enjoyment for several months.
Watch the colors change on Double Giant Amadeus amaryllis. The petals start as mostly white with a fine red outline. As the flowers mature, the color intensifies to a blushing pink, coral and salmon.
Grow Double Sweet Nymph (longfield-gardens.com) for a bit of a romantic charm. The layers of creamy white petals are covered with coral pink stripes.
If you like the traditional red amaryllis, you will enjoy the giant red
flowers of Double King. Each bulb produces three stems with four or more blooms that open at different times to extend your enjoyment.
The candy cane-striped narrow petals of Double Doublet are sure to catch your attention. Each flower is a bit different, adding to its uniqueness. Watch as the three stems grow, producing as many as a dozen flowers from each bulb.
Enjoy weeks of artistic blooms when you grow Double Aphrodite amaryllis. The ruffled white petals have a narrow red edge and lime green center. The fine red brushstrokes that extend from the petal tips add to this amaryllis’ charm.
Plant your amaryllis bulbs in a quality potting mix with the top half above the soil surface. Grow a single bulb in a pot that is 7 to 8 inches deep and 5 to 6 inches across with drainage holes. Or group several bulbs together in a larger container. Water the potting mix thoroughly and place the container in a cool sunny location. Continue to water thoroughly but only often enough to keep the soil barely moist. Add a bit of elegance and ease of care by going soilless. Place several inches of pebbles in the bottom of a
glass vase or watertight container. Cover the pebbles with water. Set the bulb on top of the pebbles, adding more stones around the bulb to hold it in place. Leave the top one third of the bulb exposed. Add water as needed to maintain the water level just below the bulb.
Now relax and wait a month or more for your amaryllis bulb to wake up and start growing. Water more often once sprouts appear. Enjoy the transformation as the bulb turns into a flowering plant over the next few weeks.
Growing amaryllis indoors will keep you gardening all year long, providing mood-boosting benefits and stress relief. Plus, the colorful blossoms are sure to brighten your winter days.

Ossining litigator takes on tax prep service
By Bill heltzel / bheltzel@westfairinc.com
An Ossining law firm is demanding restitution from a tax preparation service it claims failed to file 2024 state and federal tax returns or secure a $35,000 tax refund.
The Steiner Law Firm accused AG Tax Services of fraud, in a complaint filed on Dec. 8 in Westchester Supreme Court.
AG Tax Services and owner Michael Grossbach "engaged in a systematic scheme of deception," the complaint states, "by repeatedly and falsely representing ... that all required business and personal tax returns had been timely filed."
The law firm and tax service are both based in Ossining, side-by-side in
the same office building in Central Westchester Business Park.
Steiner Law is led by Norman Steiner. It specializes in personal injury cases, such as medical malpractice and car accidents, and its website boasts of more than $500 million in verdicts and settlements.
AG Tax Services describes itself as "artisans of accounting" that "paint the perfect, complete picture of your finances."
Grossbach solicited Steiner to handle the law firm's 2024 taxes, according to the complaint, and Steiner let Grossbach handle his personal taxes as well.
Grossbach allegedly advised Steiner that he would create a S-Corporation
– a tax status that enables business owners to pay lower federal taxes – and get a tax refund of at least $35,000.
Grossbach repeatedly assured Steiner that all tax returns and paperwork had been filed on time, according to the complaint, but allegedly refused to provide proof of performance.
Then, after months of assurances, the complaint states, Grossbach belatedly admitted that Steiners' and his wife Olga's personal tax returns had not been filed.
Steiner claims that Grossbach abruptly ceased communications and cut off access to the AG Tax Services portal where tax records are stored. When Steiner protested, access was restored for 24 hours, according to the complaint, but the time was insufficient to retrieve everything.
AG Tax Services engaged in a systematic scheme of deception, falsely claiming all tax returns had been filed.”
— Steiner Law Firm complaint
Steiner says an independent investigation established that the IRS did not accept the business tax returns or the S-Corporation designation and that state and federal personal tax returns were not filed.
Grossbach and AG Tax Services engaged in fraud and deceit, the complaint states, "to collect fees for services they had no intention of properly performing or were incapable of properly performing."
Steiner is demanding unspecified monetary damages to cover AG Tax Services' fees, tax penalties and liabilities, loss of a refund, and new fees paid to correct the problems.
He also is demanding unspecified punitive damages, to "send a message that such fraudulent and malicious conduct will not be tolerated."

“Observations of the parking garage demonstrate that there is sufficient parking in this garage, including to support the proposed residential use.”
— DTS Provident Design Engineering study
17-story mixed-use building proposed for Ridge Hill
By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com
“This
project delivers real solutions, creating homes where older residents can remain in the neighborhoods they love.”
The developer Saber-Hightower LLC, which is based in Briarcliff Manor is seeking site plan approval from Yonkers to construct a 17-story mixed-use building with 282 residential units at the Ridge Hill complex. The site is 0.9-acre in size and is situated at 22 Lembo Drive, also identified as Parcel K in Ridge Hill. Ridge Hill is a mixed-use lifestyle center that opened in 2011.
The co-founders of Saber-Hightower are Martin Berger, Gregory Belew and Doug Browne. Among the company’s projects are The Lively Apartments in Jersey City, Rivertown Square in Dobbs Ferry, The Smyth in Stamford and Hudson Heritage in Poughkeepsie. The Ridge Hill development would be known as The Ibex at Ridge Hill. There would be 4,823 square feet
of retail space in the new building. The project would need to provide 423 parking spaces and plans to have 435 spaces available. They would be provided in the adjacent Market Street Garage.
Rendering of The Ibex at Ridge Hill, 22 Lembo.
Parking spaces on the first, second and third levels of the garage would continue to be made available for public use. Other spaces on the third, fourth and fifth levels would be reserved for residents of the building. A gate with either a license plate reader or card reading device would be used to keep the public out and allow access for tenants.
A study by DTS Provident Design Engineering pointed out that the existing garage serves various facilities within Ridge Hill, especially the Whole Foods supermarket. It said that
Whole Foods patrons tend to park on Level 2. On Level 1, some Whole Foods patrons park but a large portion of the people parking their vehicles on that floor are employees of Whole Foods, Summit Health and other businesses.
“Observations of the parking garage demonstrate that there is sufficient parking in this garage, including to support the proposed residential use,” the study said. “Many of the existing parking spaces are vacant, especially the upper floors that get further away from the Whole Foods entrance.”
Attorney Janet Giris of the White Plains-based law firm DelBello Donnellan Weingarten Wise & Wiederkehr LLP described the applicant Saber-Hightower as a real estate development firm with more than $3 billion in completed developments nationwide and a focus on multifamily, retail, mixed-use, and hospitality.
“The applicant has background
experience that spans both institutional platforms and entrepreneurial ventures that offers a well-rounded agile approach to complex real estate challenges,” Giris said.
Saber-Hightower has a contract to buy the property from Ridge Hill Property Owner LLC. Its building would have a unit mix of 33 studios, 127 one-bedroom apartments, 13 1.5-bedroom units, 97 two-bedroom units and 12 three-bedroom apartments. Planned amenities include a landscaped garden area, outdoor pool, yoga and fitness rooms, and a lounge area located on the ground floor. There would be approximately 4,750 square feet of additional outdoor and indoor amenity space on the 17th floor.
The building would provide new landscaping at ground level as well as green roof areas. It would be all-electric and would be designed to permit future installation of solar cells. Each unit would have a washer and dryer.
County legislators approve funds for New Rochelle affordable housing
By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com
— Legislator Shanae Williams
The Westchester County Board of Legislators has approved purchasing the long-vacant site in New Rochelle that once was occupied by the Union Baptist Church so that an affordable housing project can be built. The legislature voted to provide $4.5 million toward the $5.3 million purchase price for 438 Main St., with the project’s developer 438 Main Street LLC providing the remaining $795,000. The church was destroyed by fire in 2011. The plan involves the county selling the property to the developer for $1.
“Westchester County senior citizens built this community, and they deserve to age here with dignity,” said Legislator Shanae Williams of Yonkers
who is chair of the Board of Legislators’ Housing and Planning Committee. “This site, once a cornerstone of faith and community, will now be rebuilt on those same principles, transforming a property that sat vacant for nearly 15 years into a place of peace, comfort, independence, and affordability. This project delivers real solutions, creating homes where older residents can remain in the neighborhoods they love.”
The entity 438 Main Street LLC, was formed through a partnership between the St. Katherine Group and Kings Capital Group. The New Rochelle Planning Board gave approval to site plans back in November of 2022 with an administrative amendment in December 2024.
The Union Baptist Church was destroyed in a five-alarm fire on Feb. 14, 2011. The interior was gutted and the roof collapsed in the fire and the remains of the building were demolished. As part of the project, a new church and event space will be constructed for what is now known as The New Union Church of New Rochelle. The church portion of the development would be treated as a condominium and separately owned and operated.
The project’s cost has been estimated at $69 million. It was estimated by the developer that the project would result in there being only one additional student added to the enrollment of the New Rochelle Public Schools. The developer expects there to be approximately 120 temporary construction jobs created at the site. The new residential building would be expected to create one new full-time and six new
part-time jobs.
As described by New Rochelle Development, the new building would be six stories at the corner of Main and Locust. There would be 115 independent living units, two retail spaces and a community room on the first floor, along with a 150-seat glass enclosed church on the sixth floor. The design calls for an L-shaped building with the residential portion entrance on Locust.There would be 80 parking spaces. The church would be accessed by doors off of Main to a vestibule and an elevator that can hold 25 people.

Bringing music and arts to downtown Danbury for 90 years
DANBURY – The Danbury Music Centre (DMC) has spent the past 90 years enriching lives through music and performing arts including inclusive community music experiences for all ages through ensembles, performances and educational opportunities.
“We’re proud to celebrate 90 years of music-making for the greater Danbury area,” said Executive Director Laura Flachbart, who credits the nonprofit’s longevity to a strong foundation of community support and volunteerism.
“This milestone reminds us of the lasting power of the arts and inspires us to carry that legacy forward for generations to come. The dedication of our musicians, conductors, donors, and audiences keeps us thriving. We believe that music builds community, enriches lives, and should be accessible to everyone, regardless of background
or experience.”
Located at 256 Main St. in downtown, DMC is a nonprofit community arts organization that offers opportunities for ages and abilities to make and enjoy music.
“Our Danbury Symphony Annual Young People’s Concert is often a young person’s first exposure to a live orchestra,” Flachbart said. “We love that our programs bring multiple generations together under one musical roof and foster a life-long love of music.”
The Centre sponsors a range of ensembles, including the Danbury Symphony Orchestra, Danbury Community Orchestra, Danbury Concert Chorus, DMC Community Band, Danbury Centre Strings, Summer Strings, Summer Bands, and Chamber Music Intensive. Its annual Nutcracker Ballet – one of DMC’s biggest annual fundraisers and longest running show for more than 50 years – features about

200 dancers and is one of the few productions in the state that includes a live symphony orchestra that plays Tchaikovsky’s score in its entirety. Also, it offers educational programming that bring people together to share the joy of live performance.
Most of the DMC performances are offered for free. “Affordability and accessibility are a core part of the Centre’s mission – ensuring that music remains accessible to families, students, and the wider community,” said Michael Bank, board president. “Our annual performances of the Nutcracker Ballet are the only ticketed events and ticket prices run from $10-$35.”
According to Flachbart, the DMC’s mission is to foster musical excellence and participation by providing inclusive opportunities for learning, performance, and appreciation. “While our core values remain the same, we’ve continually evolved and expanded programs, embracing new collaborations and engaging with younger generations through education and

outreach,” she said.
Like other nonprofits, the DMC depends heavily on community support through donations, corporate and individual sponsorships, grants, and fundraising events.
“On average, the DMC aims to raise $450,000 annually through donations, grants, and fundraising efforts,” Flachbart said. “These funds support artistic leadership, program costs, youth ensembles, community concerts, and operational costs.”
Despite facing the challenge of balancing rising costs and dwindling grant monies, some years they’ve exceeded expectations and others fell short. “Thankfully we have not needed to make large cuts to our programming and budget constraints are managed through careful planning, grant support, community partnerships, and an ongoing commitment to efficiency,” she added.
The DMC presents dozens of events and concerts each year, including orchestral concerts, choral programs, chamber music, youth ensembles, and special community collaborations.
“For fundraising, the Centre uses a combination of approaches:” Bank said. “One major annual campaign, our Founder’s Day Campaign in April of each year, and this year our 90th Anniversary Campaign, supplemented by smaller initiatives throughout the year, such as Giving Tuesday, appeal letters, Nutcracker Ballet, Virtual 5K Fundraiser, silent movie events with live music, and our Jazz Brunch with silent auction,” said Bank.
The Centre has played an integral role in Flachbart’s life for more than 50 years.
“It’s been a part of my life since the 1970s when I began my musical journey playing the cello in the Summer Strings program,” she said.
Under her leadership, and with a supportive board of directors, Flachbart has modernized the Centre’s communications, refreshed its programming, and continued to build partnerships.
The Centre will conclude its season with a series of holiday events.
“These concerts are a joyful way to bring the community together and celebrate both the season and our milestone year,” said Flachbart. “Our 90th Season will continue into June of 2026 with a total of 22 performances.”
