ZARA REALTY

Zara Realty is a professional real estate firm based in Jamaica, New York. The company is a family-owned and operated enterprise, with President George Subraj as head of the firm. Tony Subraj is the company’s senior vice-president, with Jay Sobhraj and Ken Subraj both assuming executive vice-president roles. The company was founded in 1981, and quickly became known for its wide range of high quality residential options available at affordable prices. In its more than 30 years of service to... the community, it has established itself as the premier New York real estate firm, providing the residential market with a slew of high value rental properties, most of them located in the Queens and Long Island areas east of Manhattan. By focusing on this particular section of New York, it is able to keep rental rates down while ensuring a higher level of quality with its residential homes and apartments. Rental options offered include 1, 2, or 3 bedroom units, available in a variety of designs and floor plans. All units come with appliances and furniture included, and most are located within easy access to essential services and amenities. Public transportation options are abundant and close by, and parents and families have convenient access to schools, hospitals, and shopping centers. All these features come together to provide a comfortable and rewarding living experience right at the heart of New York, without all the trappings of big city living. This focus on a more family-centric lifestyle is one that the team takes very seriously. A proudly family-owned business for more than 30 years, the company’s approach to its service reflects the very same principles that George Subraj and his close-knit family espouse in their own personal lives. For the Subrajs, service to the community and to the real estate market is intrinsically tied in with each other, and the company’s focus on providing the Queens community with high-quality rental options is reflective of that principle. Of course, this approach has paid off in a big way for the company as well. Their growth over the years has been nothing short of spectacular, and its constantly expanding portfolio of properties and holdings serve as ample testament to the success of the business formula. In 2012, the company acquired a sizable five-building apartment portfolio in Queens for a cool $39 million, greatly expanding its existing holdings. Purchased from real estate firm Urban American, the properties made an ideal addition to their existing holdings due to their location and design. In June 2016, they added yet another high value portfolio to its holdings with the purchase of a 6-building, 96-unit residential complex in Jamaica. Purchased for $21.5 million, the properties comprised sizable units all large enough to be expanded into two to three bedroom units. Covering a total area of 42,500 square feet, all 96 units are rent stabilized as well, making them even more attractive prospects for individuals and families looking for cost-effective rental options east of Manhattan.More
