Investment Thesis
Why Webster?
I like Webster for the price. Commercial space here costs less than most of the county, and I-395 gives you clean regional access. MAPFRE Insurance runs its headquarters in town and Goya Foods is here too, so there's steady employment behind the local economy. Between the Polish-American community and the summer lake crowd, the retail demand is broad. And with the Connecticut border a few minutes south, retail and service businesses pull customers from two states, not one.
