Jeremy Gorelick, president of Long Island, N.Y.-based development firm Emanon Equities, was captivated by Skaneateles during a 2007 visit, when he noticed a crumbling old building that seemed out of character in the otherwise pristine setting. "I inquired and within a couple of months we had it under contract." Nearly 24 months later, the $5.25 million renovation of the Seitz Building in Skaneateles, near the smallest of Upstate New York's Finger Lakes, is nearing completion. The building has 10 condos priced from about $500,000 to $600,000 and five commercial spaces -- three stores and two restaurants.

The Wells effort is believed to be the largest project of its kind by a major U.S. office landlord, according to the defibrillator manufacturer. Immediate treatment of sudden cardiac arrest can improve the odds of survival, which drop by as much as 10% for each minute of delay prior to defibrillation and cardiopulmonary resuscitation, according to the American Heart Association.
