Since time immemorial, fashion has been one of the ultimate platforms for self-expression. While some people use it to tell tales of survival and success in their own lives, others utilize it to empower others, sending powerful messages across the globe.

A lifelong creative and fashion lover, musician Jalal has collaborated with Aria Noir, a premium eyewear brand that acknowledges and embraces creativity in all forms has driven this powerhouse towards the pinnacles of greatness. As he continues to materialize his vision, the emerging entity hopes to serve as a launching pad for fashion professionals and enthusiasts across the globe.

From a young age, Jalal has seen the beauty in the things surrounding him. He believes that he should not limit his creative spirit in the world of music. Thus, this multifaceted go-getter delved deep into other pursuits, such as the fashion realm.

Aria Noir is an eyewear brand created by designers and made for designers. It patterns itself after perfection, aligning its enterprise along with the equilibrium of things both pretty and practical while emphasizing quality over quantity. With a focus on doing more with less, Aria Noir speaks volumes of the founder’s creative spirit, amplifying sacred geometry with every detail of the brand’s eyewear.

In an interview, Jalal revealed that the most significant part of working on Aria Noir was his creative process. As a matter of fact, the passion for the process drove the birth of the go-getter’s artistic endeavor. Likening his works to childbirth, he explained, “My favorite part of the creative process is the final product. It’s like giving birth to something that didn’t exist before, and now it does because of me—and it’s even better when someone else acknowledges its beauty.”

Over the years, Aria Noir has made waves across the industry, slowly establishing a small but serious and appreciative fan base. Unlike other eyewear and apparel brands that persevere to catch up with the trends, this emerging powerhouse aims to maintain its pace in this direction, amplifying its ethos of creating products that speak volumes of its founder’s eccentricities. In this way, Aria Noir veers away from the norm while producing eyewear that people adore to adorn.

“My goals are to keep getting better at what I do and to keep diversifying so that I don’t have just one type of audience,” said Jalal. “I like to have fun and explore new things in life, and this goes for music as well. My style has changed a lot since I first started and will keep changing, updating, and improving.”

With no plans of slowing down anytime soon, Aria Noir continues to take significant strides toward the forefront of the industry. In the coming years, the brand aims to take over the eyewear industry and become a designer household name. As Jalal continues to move forward with his dreams, he reminds aspirants to embrace their creative spirit despite the odds stacked against them.

A complex sector, the real estate industry continues to pose challenges to those who wish to dominate it. Although it’s relatively easy to access, surviving and thriving amid the odds and competition are achievements that not every entrant can bag under their belt—a harsh reality that Ali Choudhri, the mind at the helm of family-owned powerhouse Jetall Companies, is intimately privy to. Today, having navigated the waters of the real estate scene successfully, he serves as the CEO of a widely accomplished company, setting an example for other go-getters to follow. 

Established in 1961, Jetall Companies is a real estate investment and management venture based initially in London. However, after it made several acquisitions in the United States during the RTC and S&L era in the early 1990s, the industry giant moved its headquarters to Texas. Currently, it owns over two million square feet of commercial real estate and holdings primarily focused in Austin and Houston. More impressively, the experienced operator and vertically integrated company has managed to develop over thirty commercial retail centers and build over 250 high-end homes. 

At the core of Jetall Companies is the overarching mission to enable economic growth and employment through real estate development and value creation. It also operates under the goal of providing solutions that support the changing needs of businesses in its communities. In line with these driving forces, it has gone all-out in creating additional value from buying or building assets and invested in real estate opportunities where it has differentiated insights and relationships. 

Over time, Jetall Companies has reached great heights, cementing its standing in a sector known for its saturated and competitive nature. Although its rise through the ranks can be credited to its initial founders, its status as an industry leader can be credited to the strategic vision and leadership of Ali Choudhri and the expertise of his team of over 40 employees and subcontractors. 

With two decades of experience, Ali Choudhri bears an extensive knowledge of the field and its nitty-gritty, from acquisitions, dispositions, and joint ventures to financing, development, and lending. Throughout his career, he has designed, built, and developed multiple residential communities in Houston, including the tallest single-family home in Texas. Moreover, the respected personality has acquired, developed, and managed over $1.2 billion of real estate assets across the United States, Mexico, Europe, and Dubai. 

Given his credentials and track record, it’s no surprise why Ali Choudhri has succeeded in keeping Jetall Companies at the top. Under his guidance, the highly trusted venture has brought considerable value to the table, becoming the go-to choice of those who are looking for fully modernized properties with state-of-the-art features like fitness centers, destination dispatch elevators, and class A offices. Armed with big plans for the upcoming years, he is expected to remain at the forefront of the real estate scene, driving the growth of Jetall Companies and propelling it even higher.
