 Tom Hill III, CCIM/SIOR, hosted a CT.CCIM Chapter event at the Main Street Grill, a new, trendy eclectic restaurant in downtown    Watertown.  Owner, John Bordeau, spoke on the challenges of locating, permitting and building out a new restaurant.

 

During his welcome speech to our CCIM group, he related that a lot of people told him NOT to do it (i.e.: open a new eatery!), 

and he is glad he spent the year getting it built and open. New restaurants are always a draw.  

 

Sam Haydock, LEP of BL Companies, spoke on New Development Acts, the CT. Transfer Act, the new DEEP, etc., and navigating environmental situations in all property categories.  Past President Jack Lynch, CCIM, commented that Sam's presentations are "always updated and very informative." Please call him for your environmental situations as he is our longtime sponsor from the www.BLCompanies.com.    

 

Attorney Ed Hill, CRE of Robinson & Cole www.rc.com, one of our sponsors, presented a very thorough  long list of due diligence items that his client's look for today. Especially interesting were the politics of commercial condo associations. He also gave an overview of the CRE designations, of which our own Stan Gniazdowski, CCIM, also holds Counselor of Real Estate (CRE). 

 

Our cocktail social after the "brain fest" featured  Ralph Richard, senior lender at Savings Bank of Danbury who have made a big push from their home base in Danbury west to Waterbury and recently filled in between with another new branch in Southbury. Ralph discussed a few multi-million dollar financing transactions that are under construction in this marketplace. It was told to me today that a few CCIM's in the room inquired about Ralph considering loaning on deals they were currently negotiating. 

 

A couple of final thoughts and recommendations to Chapter members…please ask your business friends to  join our chapter. Recommend young agents and brokers to become candidates. How about your favorite vendor's become sponsors for access to the "CCIM" best in class cadre!  For those CCIM's out there who did not attend this timely affair, WHY NOT?  Perhaps you would like to get involved and host the chapter in your market? 

 

Look for and register for our upcoming events and please plan to join us in October in Las Vegas where our own past President of CT. CCIM Chapter Wayne D'Amico, will be inducted as CCIM's next National President!  Wow, what an accomplishment for our CT. Chapter.  For more info on this and other important news contact our President Steve Patten, CCIM, at 203-234-6371.
