The Kamali Organization to complete The Classic at Kew Gardens

Sales have opened at The Classic at Kew Gardens, a new luxury condominium being developed by the family-owned Kamali Organization. The six-story building - which debuted with a fully-furnished two-bedroom model home and onsite sales gallery - perfectly blends old world charm with modern amenities due to a unique architectural design that combines four newly added floors with two existing levels that all pay homage to the English Colonial design commonly found in Kew Gardens. The collection consists of 52 one, two and three-bedroom condominium homes. Initial occupancy is scheduled for this fall. "We envision The Classic as an opportunity to join old and new and create a building that provides an upscale, fully-amenitized living environment as well as serves as a visual anchor for this intimate neighborhood," said Jackie Kamali, a principal of the development firm that bears his name. "The result is a unique and magnificent building where no two floorplans are alike." "Elegance and sophistication are personified in The Classic's exquisite lobby which was designed by the renowned interior architect/designer Amir Khamneipur Design and boasts Tao Ci Botticino diagonally laid flooring with a coco colored border and walls covered in custom leather panels with recessed lighting," said Jackie Urgo, president of The Marketing Directors, Inc., the building's marketing and exclusive sales agent. Amir Khamneipur also designed the condominium residences at The Classic. The homes offer from 574 to 1,385 s/f of luxury living space, along with a considerable array of high-end amenities and finishes. "We conducted extensive research and worked with our architects to design this building to fulfill market needs," said Kamali.
