A sudden federal halt to the one-dose Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine has dampened hopes among NYC Muslim leaders who were planning for a substantial vaccination push during Ramadan.
Universal eligibility for the vaccines arrived not long before Muslim New Yorkers welcomed Ramadan on April 12th. Religious leaders and the city had debuted pop-up vaccination sites at three mosques, ICNA Markaz and Jamaica Muslim Center in Queens and Al-Masjidu Adam in the Bronx. Each mosque had its own rules on securing a vaccine from simply walking in to filling out google forms.
A&E is a relative newcomer to the city’s multifamily market; it was founded by Eisenberg in 2011, and has since grown to rival incumbents like LeFrak and Related Companies in terms of its real estate footprint. It’s done so by following the model of other multifamily firms: by buying older, often rent-stabilized buildings in need of upgrades. Its major deals include the acquisition of a 32-building portfolio from Dermot in 2015.
But the firm is aiming to shake up its strategy, targeting new asset types and the acquisition of development rights on sites that are currently part of its portfolio. It plans to launch a $1 billion fund to make that happen.

Previously, walk-in appointments were exclusively for New Yorkers age 75 and older.
“Our priority for the next few months is clear: we need to vaccinate as many New Yorkers as possible,” said Mayor Bill de Blasio. “By making it easier for New Yorkers 50 and older to get vaccinated, we are on our way to fully vaccinating five million New Yorkers by June.”
