Beatrice Sibblies is the managing partner of BOS Development, a real estate development and brokerage firm based in the New York neighborhood of Harlem. With a focus on community development and entrepreneurship, BOS creates the spectrum of projects necessary for a vibrant community — including residential, educational, hospitality, and commercial developments.
BOS Development’s debut project, 88 Morningside, is an 80,000-square-foot residential co-op and community facility building structured on a 99-year ground lease from a Presbyterian church. With the building’s sleek interior and exterior design, the project received numerous accolades for its aesthetic quality and proved to be one of the most successful residential developments in Harlem.
