MARKET LEADERS IN REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT

Our Commanding Market Position

JAMES Development Corporation is a market leader in investment, development and management in the dynamic New York City real estate world. We understand the markets and are attuned to their trends. We know the types of real estate that are — or will be — in demand in each sector of the market.

As one of the largest holders of unsold units in Manhattan condominiums and co-ops, we own and manage hundreds of residential apartments throughout the tri-state area. Our portfolio includes many landmarked historical buildings, high end luxury condominiums, and signature edifices by renowned architects. Our properties are well-located in prestigious, sought-after neighborhoods, further strengthening our ability to influence the market, not merely react to it.

Our ethics, business acumen, and experience with large-scale negotiations all combine to keep us at the vanguard. We have a sterling track record of closing on our deals while fostering a productive relationship with our sellers. In fact, many of the properties we own are repeat acquisitions from the same sellers.

Our Mission as Investors

Our goal is to constantly acquire high-quality iconic properties and increase their value. We believe in the future of New York City, its real estate market, and next generation urban living. We believe that preserving the past means investing in the future; our signature is to integrate old world charm and elegance with new world amenities and modern conveniences to renew our city with fresh energy.

Our Acquisitions and Investment Strategy

JAMES Development Corporation’s primary objective is to acquire quality conservative real estate investments which provide opportunities for future appreciation. Our approach has historically been slow, steady and conservative growth, combined with the ability to move swiftly on each individual transaction.

With almost 30 years of experience, our knowledge is broad-based. This enables us to quickly evaluate investment opportunities and identify those which will perform best over the long run.

Moreover, we almost never finance our acquisitions — in other words, we don’t rely on third-party lenders when we acquire a property. That’s unique in our business and it enables us to move immediately and unfettered when we identify an opportunity. Funds are available to close and closings take place on time.

Our Advantages as Owners/Sponsors

Our luxury-renovated apartments require no Board approval, allowing for a quick and seamless transaction. When you work with us, you are working directly with the owner/Sponsor. We have a deep understanding of the way our buildings operate and can thus provide more and better amenities than similar properties on the market.

As owners, we add value to our properties with our high-end renovations. The careful and judicious expenditure of capital on renovations pays back immeasurably in higher property values. When we improve our apartments, we are improving the value of other units in our buildings.

Our Recent Acquisitions

Some of JAMES Development Corporation’s recent projects include the acquisition of the unsold units at the iconic Manhattan House, The Briarcliffe on Billionaire’s Row, the Century Condominium on Central Park West, 215 West 88th Street, and 610 West 110th Street.
