May 12, 2011 – Imagine it: you walk off of an elevator into an empty expanse of, well, nothing. You have floors and a ceiling, and elevators that stop on your floor, but not much else. Your task: convert this downtrodden expanse of empty space into a luxury serviced business center, containing 50+ offices, two conference rooms, a kitchen, a reception area, and a lounge, as quickly and efficiently as possible. Can you do it? Where would you begin?<\/p>\n
This is the challenge Jay Suites faces each time we\u2019re ready to expand. Location is everything \u2013 especially in the highly competitive Manhattan market \u2013 but the real work begins once the site is chosen & the paperwork completed. Before the ink dries, our team is actively searching out contractors, construction crews, and suppliers to transform a cavernous vacancy into a designer business center.<\/p>\n
It would be logical to assume that, after opening four business centers in Manhattan\u2019s most highly-trafficked locations, building out additional spaces wouldn\u2019t require the same amount of involvement and oversight\u2026 But it\u2019s exactly the opposite. With experience comes knowledge, and the upper management at Jay Suites rigorously apply this enhanced expertise to each new project they embark on.<\/p>\n
Unlike other business center providers, that outsource every aspect of the design & construction process, Jay Suites\u2019 management is actively involved in all aspects of building ![\"executive](\"https:\/\/staging.jaysuites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/nyc-office-rentals-elevator-bank.jpg\" "\\"nyc-office-rentals\\"")
out their business centers. Donning hard hats and foregoing the suits, the management actively determines the aesthetic possibilities of the unfinished space and begins designing immediately. \u201cI remember my first day on the job, when we toured the under-construction Penn Station location,\u201d reminisces Caitie Bucci, Jay Suites\u2019 general manager. \u201cJack [Srour, COO] showed me a drawing filled with lines and dots, and explained that this was the origins of the layout for the reception area and the intricate ceiling work, featuring recessed ambient lighting. I was floored to see the humble beginnings of such a beautiful space.\u201d<\/p>\n
Not every aspect of Jay Suites\u2019 designs is based solely on personal creativity, however. As Srour explains, \u201cWe did our homework \u2013 there is plenty of research to back up the need for a comfortable, ergonomically-sound working environment in order to maximize productivity, and this is what we strive to bring to our clients every time we create a new business center.\u201d Each detail is carefully assessed for its aesthetic and\/or productivity-maximizing value, before it is implemented into the Jay Suites design concept: \u201cWe\u2019ve made golden-yellow Venetian plaster walls our hallmark, but not without reason,\u201d Srour continues. \u201cYellow and other warm colors inspire action and results \u2013 adding in the Venetian plaster design was our way of modernizing the space and adding classic New York elegance, so we\u2019ve combined the functional and style aspects to make our spaces bright and welcoming.\u201d<\/p>\n
In addition, numerous studies on the effects of the physical work environment on employee productivity indicate that giving employees a choice over their own work station furniture maximizes commitment & output. \u201cIt\u2019s impossible to not give our clients a choice \u2013 they need to love their office, and we are in no position to tell them what they need or like. Besides, everyone is different \u2013 having a wide array of options available ensures each employee within our suites is comfortable and in control,\u201d explains Juda Sour, the company\u2019s President.<\/p>\n
Other unique design element![\"\"](\"https:\/\/staging.jaysuites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/conference-room-rental-nyc.jpg\" "\\"conference-room-rental\\"")
s include ceiling carve-outs, accented by recessed ambient lighting, onyx marble flooring, stainless steel trim, and frosted glass accents. \u201cEach space is similar, yet has its own unique touches, most of which are intended to capture the personality of the neighborhood each center is in,\u201d Bucci added. \u201cThe triangular corner spaces at our Penn Station location mimic the geography of Times & Herald Squares, while our Grand Central location features more traditional styling, such as a mahogany reception desk, which is more reflective of the historic Manhattan style in the Midtown area.\u201d<\/p>\n
So how does Jay Suites\u2019 management really feel when they walk into a newly-leased, vacant floor of an office building that they will turn into a luxury business center? \u201cExcitement and anticipation,\u201d Juda Srour promptly answered, \u201cwe see the possibilities for what we can bring to our clients \u2013 and we can\u2019t wait to get started!\u201d<\/p>\n
