Solly Assa is a real estate company founder (Assa Properties). He has been developing residential, retail and commercial properties for many years now. His long-term commitment to the real estate industry has helped the company survive those difficult times in 2007, 2008 and 2009, and with those days far behind, things have become less challenging.
Solly Assa sees a strong future for his company now that people have regained their confidence to buy again.
The first thing that drew Solly Assa into real estate development was having the opportunity to choose from its broad categories and endless options that can go as far as one’s imagination. It never been about fitting in, more so the idea of making a change and creating something different that would make big statement that is going to stand out from everything else that already exists in the real estate realm. That's when Solly created Assa Properties.
Assa Properties is a growing company based in NYC, which has developed and invested in residential, retail and commercial properties for more than a decade. The firm is open to new opportunities all the time, and in addition to that Solly Assa is planning to expand the company’s profile through joint ventures. Since its establishment, the company has acquired more than 3 million square feet of assets in the United States and Mexico, and now they are acquiring buildings in New York City as well.
Solly Assa has invested a lot of time and effort in forging strong, long-lasting relationships because he believes that personal interaction is a crucial part of ensuring that every client is matched with the property that suits their needs best, regardless whether it is commercial or residential. For more than a decade, Assa Properties has developed and invested in residential, retail and commercial properties, and since then, the company has acquired more than 3 million square feet of assets in the United States and Mexico. In 2002 the firm began acquiring buildings in some of New York City’s most distinctive neighborhoods, including 743 Fifth Avenue and 6 Times Square and it continues to provide full spectrum of residential, retail and commercial properties to the market.
The firm made a recent addition to its portfolio with Cassa Hotel and Residences in New York City, a building that spans over 170,000 square feet and stands 48 stories, features 57 residences and 165 guest rooms. Solly Assa himself created the concept for Cassa, and since he foresaw buyers’ plans to combine the units in order to make larger apartments, the building was designed with that type of flexibility in mind, meaning it was designed to accommodate the combined duplexes and triplexes desired by his clients.
