Started from the bottom now we here! 👆

Literally

At a loss for words for how it feels to see our dream come to life.

Beautiful moment as we not only help turn houses into homes for over a thousand people but build our own home at the same time.

It’s incredible to be here.

The best is yet to come

LOVE.

Newark, I've been sitting with this one for a few days- I’m a bit emotional writing this to be honest.

TAPinto wrote us up this week: Brick 142 is not a coworking space. They're right. It never was.

Here's the part I keep coming back to. When this space first landed in front of me one of my friends/architect looked me dead in the eye and told me it was the worst idea I'd ever had. And he wasn't wrong, not about building another office or growing our footprint as Da Silva Team here in Newark.

What he said next is what stuck with me HARD, He told me to build something that's actually ME. Something that fits the way I try to live, with my faith and my family at the center of it. That conversation is the reason Brick 142 exists.

So I stopped trying to build an office and started building a home for people to work/live in and through… Newark's Living Room. A place where the work is real but the people are the point. Where you walk in and you're around people chasing the same kind of dreams you are, and somehow that makes yours feel possible.

Literally, the space I wish I had.

I've spent years selling real estate in this city. Closing 1,000+ deals, handing over keys, moving on to the next one, Turning houses into homes. This is the first thing I've built that I get to stay in. That my kids can walk into one day and understand what their dad was trying to do here. Its all so real its crazy.

It's open now. We opened up with a night of worship and scripture- because faith matters. Had Bunkr over for a night of partying, families and strangers and neighbors all in the same room. People getting work done making calls etc. And honestly, watching it come alive has meant more to me than I expected.

If you're building something in Newark, come see it. I'll walk you through it myself. I'd just be grateful to have you in the room.

Drop a "142" below or send me a message 2019261190. I'll tell you everything.

J&L Companies signed a lease with the Da Silva Team for the 11,386-square-foot ground floor space at the Textile Lofts, a work club called Brick 142.

Are you trying to buy a house right now? 🏡

Well market is really mind boggling right now.

In Newark, if it’s a 1 family- no rental income means no crazy bidding for the most part

But.

We just saw a 2 family outside of the ironbound sell for 1M

The proof is in the pudding.

Multi family market is nothing to play with.

Thankfully, our team has helped over 400 home buyers here in the city get their dream.

So reach out asap if you would like to make sure you don’t overpay for a house.

It’s about that time

You can catch me hear game day

This home may actually not be the coolest house. ❌

It may just be ordinary- who cares.

What makes it special is that it’ll be a resting place for our family, friends & the lord.

Truly this place is going to be SPECIAL.

Garden of Eden.

It’s a fine line! 👌

I’ve met people who are doing 500 wholesale deals annually.

Realtors selling 200 houses themselves.

I’ve personally closed over 100 deals myself in a year

AND

Trust but verify.

Read the fine print. Triple check everything & ensure that you are provided RECEIPTS.

This is an insane detail when building in a city- At 14.5 feet high, we’re stacking our cars like Legos. 🚙 🚘

Because when you’re building in the Ironbound, maximizing space is the name of the game!

This was caused by having to raise the home basement without sacrificing basement height

Now a two car garage becomes a four car 🚗 🚘
