Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, housing and rent prices in New York City were high. However, the pandemic did not help matters but only made them worse as more people were forced to relocate due to the loss of jobs, failed businesses, and lack of opportunities.
New York City is the heart of business, culture, and growth on the US east coast. Although the standard of living is high in New York; with novel eateries and fine dining restaurants, various health centers, fabulous shopping complexes, entertainment clubs, and world-class museums, the cost of living in New York is one of the highest in all of USA. Nevertheless, people who can afford to live in New York still appreciate the infrastructure and public resources available to New Yorkers.
Stephen Jemal, a real estate developer who has lived in New York City his entire life, noticed soon in his career that people who loved New York were struggling to live comfortably in substandard apartments and houseswhile paying premium rents in off locations, even being forced to live in the outlying boroughs. JemalHe empathized with them greatly when he discovered that these people were paying premium prices for living spaces with little to no amenities and were structured extremely poorly. People who used to live in deluxe locations in Manhattan were pushed to the outskirts to live in places that did not cater to their needs and did not facilitate or improve their living standards.
This is the problem Stephen Jemal saw in the New York real estate industry and wanted to help alleviate. With the help of his highly talented and knowledgeable son, Norman S. Jemal, Stephen began researching ways to create a residential project that could facilitate and vastly improve the lifestyle of six-figure salary earners in Manhattan. Stephen Jemal believes that when you work hard to generate income and build a life for yourself and your family, you should be able to enjoy it to the fullest.
Therefore, after four years of intensive market research, discussions with countless building experts, and planning of every critical project detail, Stephen Jemal came up with designs for a project, trademark pending, called “CENTRAL.”
What Is CENTRAL?
CENTRAL (trademark pending), is a real estate project planned and presented by JemRock Organization. Stephen Jemal is the Ppresident and CEO of the JemRock Organization,while Norman S. Jemal, a great contributor to the CENTRAL project, is the Member and COO of the organization.
After Norman and Stephen Jemal noticed how grave the living situation in New York was, even for well-off professionals, they began to plan a unique real estate project in Manhattan. The project aims to create a luxury multi-apartment project that will have top-of-the-line amenities and facilities, yet deliver at an affordable price point.
Later observing how deeply the COVID-19 isolation and pandemic affected the mental health of New York residents, Stephen Jemal introduced a new idea for the real estate project: a recession and pandemic proof development project. With a state-of-the-art fitness/wellness center, holistic food eateries, separate available workstations, entertainment sections, outdoor space and much more, residents of CENTRAL will be able to keep themselves fulfilled mentally and physically by engaging in different activities in the event of a lockdown.
Another feature of the project that was deeply important for Stephen Jemal was to incorporate rustic style quality architecture into the mix. The architecture and planning of modern buildings usually include low-quality materials that are not sustainable in the long run. CENTRAL buildings already exist and the plan is to convert these magnificent With brick and limestone buildings and thedesign of the early 1920s into affordable luxury apartments marketed to the masses of six-figure earners., The CENTRAL is going to be constructedmantra is truly defined by its own trademark pending slogan: “Live, Work, Be Well” as theand will be the complex everyone dreams and aims to live in, synchronizing perfectly with their desired lifestyle.
