A Manhattan-based homebuilder has devised a business model that’s a departure from a classic method of operation in the homebuilding industry. Instead of buying a large tract of land, subdividing it, installing infrastructure, and then building model houses and other units on speculation, Welcome Homes lets the homeowner buy the lot in a subdivision from a third party then offers a customized product built around existing house plans accompanied by a variety of possible custom design elements. Further, the company encourages buyers to use the internet.

Welcome Homes was established by five co-founders: Alec Hartman; Ben Uretsky; Mitch Wainer; Marc Hartman and Jesse Mauro.

The company has jumped into the Westchester market by planning the build-out of a 13-lot subdivision on 3.2 acres in Northern Westchester. Welcome Homes doesn’t own the land. Rather, the subdivision was created from the former Fieldstone Manor-Mohegan Mansion property on Strawberry Road in Mohegan Lake by owner Bill Catucci. The Fieldstone property comprises approximately 23 acres and a cluster development was approved for a portion of the property.

The company launched in October 2020 with $5.35 million in seed financing led by Global Founders Capital. It billed itself as the first fully-online home building, customization and purchasing experience, cutting by 50% to six months the time it takes to build and move into a dream home.

UNCASVILLE — Mohegan Sun’s 18th The Sun Wine and Food Fest is on, running through Sunday, with national and state vendors introducing new products, as well as food and beverage tastings and demonstrations from some of the world’s most famous chefs.

Despite the weather, drinks will still be poured and food sampled this weekend, organizers say. However, due to the blizzard expected to slam the region Saturday, Mohegan Sun is offering refunds to ticket-holders unable to attend due to the inclement weather.

The festivities have been ongoing since Thursday.

“We’re super excited to bring it back,” said Lauren Willard, director of special events at Mohegan Sun. “We’ve had a lot of loyal vendors and loyal guests who are super excited.”

The event kicked off Thursday night with a dinner hosted by Boston and New York City based chef Todd English, Willard said, who hosted a dinner with chefs who had worked with him at one of his former Boston restaurants, Olives in Charlestown, with each chef preparing their own dish.

On Friday, the festival continued with the Grand Tasting, where vendors fill up the convention center, offering samples of new products. The evening continued with the Whiskeys of the World tasting in the Earth Ballroom, including actors and mixologists Tom Sandoval and Tom Schwartz, who gave a cocktail demonstration highlighting their new whiskey, Toms’ Good Lovin’.

The Grand Tasting continues today from 1 to 5 p.m. at the convention center. Other events include the Vintage Cru, featuring tastings of high-end wines, and the biggest draw of the weekend, the Celebrity Chef Dine Around. This year, celebrity chefs Nyesha Arrington, Maneet Chauhan, Rocco DiSpirito, Robert Irvine, Aaron Sanchez, Michael Symon, and Buddy Valastro will be in the kitchen, working their magic for all to see.

“Each chef is cooking live in front of you, creating…

Singer and songwriter Billie Eilish is set to perform Feb. 20 at the TD Garden in Boston.

Following the release of her latest single “Your Power,” and ahead of the July 30th release of her forthcoming album ‘Happier Than Ever,’ artist Billie has announced the first leg of her “Happier Than Ever, The World Tour”, set to commence in Feb. 2022. The 32-date North American arena run will be making stops across North America, before heading across the Atlantic for an 18-date arena tour across Europe and the United Kingdom.

The seven-time Grammy Award winning artist and songwriter has also confirmed she will be continuing her work with sustainability partner Reverb for her “Happier Than Ever, The World Tour”, with the fan-facing Billie Eilish Action Village at each show. The village will focus on climate action and climate justice, hosting and supporting BIPOC and women-led environmental organizations as well as a comprehensive program via REVERB’s forthcoming Music Climate Revolution campaign.

In addition to reducing the tour’s environmental footprint, the initiative will support projects that directly and measurably eliminate greenhouse gases. These collective efforts will make the tour Climate Positive; eliminating significantly more emissions than the tour creates.
