Zach of Gaia Real Estate Group with Israeli-American Council, Osem and Kedem provide over 400 meals

New York, NY Gaia Real Estate Group, headed by developer and investment sales broker Shay Zach, has been providing food and hot meals to hundreds of elderly New Yorkers in need and medical professionals all over the city. The campaign was initiated by Zach, who was able to raise thousands of dollars for the operation and help local businesses–such as Midwood’s “Schnitzi” restaurant–who were happy to take part in a good cause. 

Together with the support of the The Israeli-American Council (IAC) and Kosher Food manufacturers Osem and Kedem, Zach and volunteers from his daughter’s school–The Hannah Senesh Jewish Day School–traveled throughout Brooklyn and Queens in the past few weeks to distribute over 400 meals to the elderly, with a special focus on Holocaust Survivors. 

Zach, who has recovered from COVID-19 himself, has all the intentions of continuing this effort for as long as he can. “I want to serve as many people as I can, and with the help of my partners I believe this program can keep running for the next six months at least. After I got better, I was left with the notion that I have to do something to help those less fortunate around me in these most turbulent of times. I am thankful I was able to find a way to give back to my community here in NYC.”

There was a time when an offering memorandum (OM) was pretty bare bones, some photos, a few bullet points on income, and a rent roll thrown in at the back. That used to get the job done. Not anymore. In 2025, buyers are sharper, faster, and more selective. They’re looking

Multi-generational multifamily owners - who’s in and who’s out - by Shallini Mehra and Amit Doshi

Many long-time property owners are divesting from their rent stabilized properties at an increasingly rapid pace. This trend has gained momentum primarily due to the unyielding permanence of rent laws over the past six years and the increasing operating costs that continue to outstrip rent growth. In addition, the judiciary’s elongated timeline in processing evictions and tenant rent challenges,
