SSJ Development LLC, led by Stephen Jemal, one of the most prominent New York-based waterfront developers, has created SSJ Construction LLC. The new company will expedite construction of all SSJ Development's projects, maintain quality controls with the objective to minimize costs and adhere to project deadlines and guidelines. SSJ Construction is a fully licensed, general contractor by New York State and the New York City Department of Buildings.
SSJ Construction has been created to realize SSJ Development's mission to revitalize neglected waterfronts that have become blighted in established, vibrant communities.

Having every facet of The Riviera developments centralized also enables us to achieve economies of scale," said Jemal, president of SSJ Construction LLC and SSJ Development LLC.
