I’ve been a fan of Queen Latifah for years. I can remember it like it was yesterday. Cleaning my bedroom with my boombox blasting to one of my favorite cassette tapes (now I’m showing my age), “UNITYYYY”!!
Queen Latifah personifies what it means to be the “queen of her castle”. Actress, Rapper, Music Producer, Singer, Film and Television Producer, philanthropist, and now we can add Real Estate Investor / Developer to her title.
Queen Latifah is reportedly investing $14 million in a multifamily development comprised of mixed-use (commercial and residential) townhouses and apartments. Approximately 60 units will be going for a market rate of $1,800+/- and 16 of which will be affordable housing featuring a fitness center and nonprofit organizations set to break ground this Summer.

Newark has been given such a bad rap due to its crime, but if you are into real estate, the first thing they say is it’s all about the location. Newark is only 30 minutes from New York City, so you won’t have to compromise your pocket while wanting to live a certain lifestyle.
This development will benefit so many people, predominantly the working class, who may have never thought that could get a slice of the progressive pie.Â
“For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required!”  I hope that those who have the opportunity to reside in this development make this their stepping stone and continue to pay it forward. My hat goes off to the Queen for paving the way not only in the music and film industry but now at home. Her mom would be so proud of her, and we know she is in heaven saying, “Well Done”!
