WPCNR RENAISSANCE REPORT. January 9, 2004: Paul Wood, Economic Development Director for the City of White Plains reported yesterday that Argent Mortgage Corporation has agreed to lease 223,000 square feet at the landmark Westchester One building, 44 South Broadway, owned by Nick Pepe. Wood reckoned that the lease, which will bring 900 persons into the offices, would just about fill up the Westchester One space, necessitating opening the Stop and Shop garage, which has not been accessed by Westchester One tenants since it opened in 2003. Wood said Argent was to occupy the space by the end of February.

Posted on January 8, 2004 by John Bailey

WPCNR MAIN STREET LINE. By John F. Bailey. January 8, 2004: The long, long, long, long, long, limousine could barely ease into City Plaza Wednesday as Donald Trump arrived for a tour of the new City Center with Louis Cappelli. Mr. Trump was observed by employees of City Center, (speaking on condition of anonymity to WPCNR), touring the City Center retail first two floors, but it was not known whether or not he was given a tour of the City Center North Spire apartments in their final stages of completion by his host and longtime friend, Louis Cappelli. Moments ago, Paul Wood, City Economic Development officer said he believed Mr. Trump toured the North Apartment Spire at City Center. Bruce Berg, Vice President for Cappelli Enterprises told WPCNR moments ago, that Mr. Cappelli and Mr. Trump did tour the City Center and afterwards strolled past 221 Main, site of the Cappelli Hotel project.

AFTER A TOUR OF MR. CAPPELLI’S CITY CENTER WEDNESDAY, Mr. Trump and Mr. Cappelli lunched at Trotters, each dining on the roasted dry aged sirloin. The men appeared to be in good spirits. Speculation buzzed through the corridors of City Hall, every floor of the City Center and along Main Street as to what Mr. Trump and Mr. Cappelli were talking about.
