Leeor got his start in NYC-based commercial construction, managing projects in the field for high-profile clients like The United Nations and Rockefeller Center. He took the leap into residential construction in 2012 and founded The Zorel Group. Known for his character and craftsmanship, Leeor leads the expert team responsible for historic restorations and new builds for dozens of families across New York and New Jersey.
With a full resume of notable projects under his belt, Leeor is most proud of the relationships he's built along the way. His personal core values of honesty and excellence are The Zorel Group's promise to every client, and the foundation of the company's well-built reputation.
Leeor and his wife Rachel are raising their four kids in a historic South Orange home that they've thoughtfully renovated together from top to bottom. A family man first, he understands the intersection of function and form when it comes to building a home. No matter the project, it's built for life.
