Business Honor
“Our aim is simple: build luxury homes that don’t just stand out, but stand the test of time.”
In a world of growth and ever-changing consumer expectations, luxury real estate has redefined the concept of living well. This is no longer just about meeting quality and aesthetic standards but also about functionality and longevity. Today, KOSL Building is one such company that has excelled in luxury home development, further defining residential landscapes and enhancing standards across Westchester, NY, and Greenwich, CT. For over 35 years, KOSL has been renowned as one of the leading forces in the industry through consistent quality and innovation, making them a distinct frontrunner within the ever-changing world of luxury living.
Luxury real estate is a niche market balanced by aspirations and comfort. It caters to sophisticated clientele who seek a personal oasis without compromise. With their client’s priorities and desires top of mind, KOSL Building positions itself at the forefront of these ambitions while being aligned with market demands. They do not simply build homes, but rather create masterpieces tailored to each client, transforming their dreams into reality. KOSL has underscored its expertise in reconciling tradition and elegance with modern necessity.
We at Business Honor had the privilege of speaking with Oran Ben-Simon, a prodigious asset behind KOSL’s continuous growth, about how the company’s unique solutions are transforming the realm of residential development. During this interview, Mr. Oran Ben-Simon shared insightful information about the foundation of KOSL, the company’s persistent dedication to quality, meaningful service, and its innovative tactics to further advance the prestigious firm’s standing.
End-to-End Luxury Development Services
Given its extensive experience in luxury developments, KOSL Building offers comprehensive solutions that help mitigate the complexity of the homebuilding process. Amongst such services which KOSL offers is their all-inclusive “A-Z” approach, which incorporates every aspect of residential development-from acquiring land to post-construction management. It is this type of turnkey model that really differentiates KOSL from the broader builder industry, ensuring that clients receive a fully integrated and seamless experience.
KOSL Realty is their internal brokerage division, through which it keeps its pulse on the market for premium properties, both on and off the market. Unlike most traditional real estate agencies, KOSL Realty provides clients with their in-house builder due diligence to confirm that all property acquisitions are well vetted, safeguarding development feasibility. Through their advisory sector, KOSL Consulting, they provide invaluable insight and involvement during the process of guiding clients through site selection, alleviating the risk of the unknown while fostering informed decisions, ultimately translating into successful projects.
The core service KOSL offers is their construction management department, KOSL Building. Quality craftsmanship has an art form to it, and every home KOSL builds is treated as if it were their own. Creating lavish estates that are both luxurious and sustainable is the focal point of KOSL Building’s longevity. Known for their immensely high standards, attentive quality, and integral accountability, KOSL’s highly regarded performance continues to be the pinnacle of the industry.
Leading the Way in Construction through Innovation
As the world of luxury real estate evolves, expectations and standards evolve with it through innovation. When incorporating new features or amenities, KOSL embraces the challenge of innovation by means of esoteric implementation. Their view that true innovation derives from efficiency and foresight is correlated to the opportunity cost of practicality. While certain features might seem “innovative” to some, for KOSL they are merely a starting point. For instance, radiant floor heat might be viewed as a “innovative” amenity, however from KOSL’s perspective the innovative component is the extent of its incorporation. Bobby Ben-Simon, Founding President of KOSL notes, “If you are doing electric radiant heat in a bathroom floor, why not add some to the shower bench for additional comfort? If it’s in the kitchen, it could be a nice feature to add it onto a section of the countertop to keep drinks warm.” Oran Ben-Simon, Executive Vice President of KOSL further mentions “In the event you are doing hydro radiant floor heat, it might be wise to install a rope sensor alarm system. In the event you have a leak, this would shut off the system and pinpoint the exact location to be serviced, avoiding potential damages.” Among its many upscale features, the company includes the latest cutting-edge features as a norm—central vacuum systems, home automation, saunas, home theatres, future-ready infrastructures, such as elevator shafts that can be easily converted, and much more. These are some of many examples related to innovative practices where KOSL takes an industry standard a step further, permitting effortless adaptability for present and future enjoyment.
The KOSL Distinction
Having built hundreds of homes over the course of its inception, KOSL Building’s success is attributed to their quality assurance. The company continuously demonstrates their reliability without deviation or compromise, instilling confidence in the brand from their clients and beyond. Such attributes are woven into their 360° approach from land selection, zoning analysis, entitlements, and construction. This end-to-end engagement results in the seamless execution of each project to the highest standard, minimizing risks, and exceeding client expectations.
