When it comes to preserving the historic integrity of a building while simultaneously refurbishing it for the modern age, Jason Halpern and JMH Developments are the best in the business. Personally, Halpern has a deep appreciation for antiquity and loves to walk through historic districts to take in the beauty. This passion for historical buildings drives Halpern’s consistent success in developing buildings in historic districts. Halpern and JMH Developments differentiate themselves precisely by preserving the historic integrity of a building (as well as any federal, state, or city landmark status) while modernizing its amenities and financials.
Jason Halpern and JMH Developments have made a name for themselves in New York City by refining plenty of buildings in historic districts, and even winning a few awards along the way. JMH Developments’ 184 Kent project won the Building Brooklyn Award in 2011, which was awarded by the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce in order to recognize development companies who have completed a new project that improves the neighborhood. In addition to the 184 Kent project, JMH Developments’ building located at 70 Henry and situated in the famed historic district of Brooklyn Heights was unanimously approved by the Landmarks Preservation Commission in June of 2015.
Halpern and JMH Developments, however, do not limit their business to New York City. JMH Developments was responsible for the purchase of the historic motel Ankara as well as the renovation of the existing structure, turning it into a 235 key select Service Starwood Aloft Hotel. Halpern’s newly renovated development in the heart of South Beach, Miami sits at eight stories, offers larger sized rooms than most hotels on the beach, and is truly something to marvel at. Further, Halpern’s Aloft Hotel project was also recognized for its achievements. Due to the quality of the design, its modern amenities, its striking beauty, and its competitive rates, the Aloft South Beach was the winner of the 2015 Americas Lodging Investment Summit (ALIS) Award as the Select/Limited Service Development of the year.
Clearly, Jason Halpern and JMH Developments are leaders in the independent real estate development space. More importantly, due to their proven track record of winning awards for and improving financials on buildings around the country, they have solidified themselves as the most trusted team to develop in historic districts.
