Arjun Menon ’18 MSRED of Sweid & Sweid, a Dubai-based real estate investment firm co-founded by Maher Sweid ’06 MSRED, is part of the team overseeing Sweid One, a 500,000-square-foot office tower approaching completion in Jumeirah Lakes Towers (JLT)—a business district in Dubai.

The USD 199 million project is classified as Grade A—a market term for offices built to high construction standards and located in established business areas.

Joey Chilleli ’13 MSRED, principal at Vanbarton Group, is featured in The Real Deal discussing Midtown East’s ongoing shift from a primarily commercial district to a mixed-use neighborhood.

At 6 East 43rd Street, Vanbarton Group is converting a former office tower into 400 residential units, contributing to a set of adaptive reuse projects initiated following the 2017 Midtown East rezoning, where new corporate headquarters and residential redevelopments are reshaping the district into a live-work neighborhood.
