New Jersey Business Leader Sam Boraie Is Rebuilding Several Urban Areas In The State

When people talk about New Jersey, they talk about Governor Chris Christie and his bad choices. Some people say Christie is the worst governor on record, but there are a few people that still stand by him. Other people talk about Rutgers, the state university in New Brunswick, or they mention Johnson and Johnson, one of largest family-owned corporations in America. But there is a new topic running around the conversation mill these days. Sam Boraie and Boraie Development are getting a lot of attention for bringing some of the worst urban areas in the United States back to life. Boraie Development started their urban renewal project in the 1970s, in New Brunswick, New Jersey. New Brunswick’s downtown area looked like a shell-shocked town in the Middle East before Boraie Development started to building office space on Albany Street. But when people see downtown New Brunswick now, all they see are New York style office and residential buildings that were built and then managed by Sam Boraie and his siblings.

Every detail is considered when Sam and his staff start a new office or residential project on njbiz.com. The list of completed projects in New Brunswick is a testament to the kind of work Sam and his family stand behind. The Albany Street Plaza One and Plaza Two buildings are late century and new century architecture. The Aspire residential building is the epitome of luxury living, and One Spring Street building is another work of residential art.

Sam Boraie is proud of all the development projects in downtown New Brunswick, but the work the company did in Newark has a lot of people talking. Sam partnered with Newark native Shaq O’Neil, and they developed the One Riverview residential building in Newark. One Riverview brought people back to Newark to live. Even New Yorkers found the building attractive and convenient. The Rector Street development is another O’Neil and Boraie project is Newark.

When Sam Boraie’s name is mentioned in New Jersey, the conversation is not just about the building Sam develops, manages and rents. Sam is very active in the nonprofit organization, Elijah’s Promise and the New Brunswick State Theater. Boraie sits on the Advisory Board of Elijah’s Promise, and he is a member of the State Theater board as well. Both of those organizations are known for the work they do in the educational system as well as for programs they implement that help people learn how to live life without regrets.

Atlantic City is another New Jersey City that is benefiting from the Boraie touch. Boraie is building a $100 million residential complex called the Beach at South Inlet not too far from the famous Atlantic City boardwalk. Atlantic City needs more luxury accommodations. This new Boraie residential project will help attract more full-time residents to the city, according to Sam Boraie.

Billy McFarland Knows How to Properly Network Professional Millennials

Billy McFarland is a mere twenty-three years old, however, he possesses the genius of putting together a Millennial professional social network and great deals, for his young professional clientele. He does so by way of his stylish Magnises black card.

The card can be linked, too, to a credit card—in order to pay for purchases. The card’s draw, though, is the exclusivity it provides the Millennial crowd, in taking advantage of the company’s stylish Penthouse location, for networking and get-togethers, where late night DJ sets are conducted and other social events.

The card also has deals attached to it. It makes living in the city—more favorable for the young professional. The young professional, merely, shows his black card to participating eateries, clubs and other places, where it is accepted—and in so doing, he or she acquires discounting.

Billy stated that the company was involved in constructing a platform which connected millennials with that of new businesses. Many trendy eateries have signed up in partnership with Magnises. Members, too, receive discounts on helicopter trips, to the Hamptons, and private concerts.

Magnises now has more than six-thousand members signed up. There is a $250 annual payment in order to carry the black card. A mobile App is tied to the membership of Magnises.

The targeted market, according to McFarland, is comprised of working professionals between 21 years of age and 35 years of age. The prospect fills out an online application and subsequently is approved by the Magnises team—before becoming a member.

According to Forbes, Billy McFarland states, the company wants an individual who truly wants to network with other like professionals and attain deals at all of the city’s most significant venues.

The penthouse location of Magnises is at the Hotel on Rivington, on the city’s Lower East Side, in New York. Magnises plays host to many events, at the penthouse. It provides its members with cocktail hours and late night social arrangements—in the form of DJ sets. The hotel provides catering and an open bar, too.

Billy McFarland plans on launching Magnises locations in ten more metropolitan markets within the next year. He plans on beginning with Washington, DC.

Billy McFarland states that the company is generating enough in revenue—so they will not be looking in the direction of raising more funds—at any time, within the near future.

 

Who is Doe Deere And What Is Lime Crime

Doe Deere is a businesswoman who has created one of the most recognizable cosmetic brands. Here is a little bit of information about the entrepreneur.

 

Who Is Doe Deere And What Is Lime Crime

Deere was raised in NYC, but she was born in Russia. She’s the CEO and the founder of the cosmetics brand Lime Crime. She created her own line of cosmetics back in 2008, but her products are cruelty-free and unique.

 

Idea For Lime Crime

Although Lime Crime was launched in 2008, the idea for Lime Crime came to Deere in 2004. That year, she opened an eBay account and the name of the account was “Limecrime.” The account was for Deere’s fashion line, which she modeled herself.

 

How Deere Brings Ideas To Life

When it comes to bringing ideas to life, Deere has incredible patience. In fact, she is known for waiting for weeks or months for inspiration. However, when inspiration does come to her, she acts quickly and decisively. She tries out her products first because she believes in making sure that each product is true to the Lime Crime brand and its customers.

 

What Deere Wishes She Did Differently

One of the few things the entrepreneur wishes she did differently was starting earlier. Before she officially launched Lime Crime, she had the idea for years. Another thing she wished she did differently was getting a customer service department sooner rather than later. She described her customer service team as highly skilled at keeping Lime Crime’s customers satisfied.

 

Who Has Influenced Deere

Deere is married and she says her husband, Mark, is the biggest influence she has. Mark and Deere played in a band 16 years ago and since then, the pair has always been together. Mark is the president of Lime Crime and she described him being extremely intelligent and very funny.

 

Doe Deere’s products can be found in a number of select stores. They can also be purchased at Lime Crime’s website.

How to Save Vast Amounts of Money

The business world is a sector of society that is often looked at at being rich and having an endless amount of available funds. This is not the case and in fact could not be further from the truth. Companies need to be exceptionally careful with how they spend their capital, and this can be a difficult and often complicated procedure that if done right could mean prosperity and business growth, and if done wrong could mean financial ruin and failure.

In order avoid ruin companies need to take advantage of whatever discounts and decreased prices they can come in to contact with, which is exactly what Billy McFarland‘s latest invention might have in store for them if they pay attention closely.

McFarland is a young individual just entering into the prospects of entrepreneurial engineering. At only twenty three years old McFarland has created an interesting experiment that seeks to combine social media practices with thrift.

According to Fortune, Billy McFarland has created Magnises, a social membership program that is originally created to offer average consumers the ability to save vast amounts of money on entertainment locations.

Magnises operates quite easily. In order to take advantage of the program an individual signs up and becomes a member and is then given a special metal card they can use.

This card is attached to a chosen bank account and is used a sa form of payment at designated locations. Once payment is rendered the discounted amount from Magnises is removed from the total, allowing members to save a lot of money.

This could mean big changes to the way that business is conducted, especially when you consider that most business meetings are performed within restaurants, bars, and other locations that Magnises gives discounts on.

While it has not been implemented yet, it would make complete logical sense for companies to include Magnises in to their business model.
