The Crown Heights neighborhood in Brooklyn is on the rise. New restaurants, apartment buildings and other small businesses are gradually moving into the community. People from Manhattan are discovering the charm of this once overlooked area that also happens to have great access to the subway system. An older neighborhood, once defined by crime and ethnic division, emerges with new life when residents suddenly decide that their neighborhood has something special to preserve and potential that is worth discovering.

Mezuri Systems, a local small business, is doing its part to revitalize the neighborhood. Mezuri specializes in the sale and installation of electronic integration products such as security systems, access control, lighting systems and data networks. Mezuri often serves the local community by improving residential and commercial spaces. In 2011, construction will be completed on a new apartment building located on 958 Nostrand Avenue. The construction of a modern apartment building will invigorate the neighborhood and supply new residents to patron local businesses. The new building houses 98 units and is equipped with state-of-the-art amenities, designed and installed by Mezuri Systems.

This new development is a chance for Mezuri to do what it does best -- provide a residence with the latest technologies available on the market. The building will be equipped with access control technology, providing safety and security for the residents. Each apartment will have a video intercom system that allows tenants to view who is requesting entrance. The building will also feature a concierge for additional security. Not only does the video intercom display who is ringing the bell, but it will also view the gym and the laundry room. This helps a tenant to avoid carrying their laundry downstairs only to find that there are no machines available. Music and movies can be enjoyed through built-in surround sound speakers that are placed in the ceiling. Another great feature of this building will be the dedicated home theater screening room. Tenants will be able to rent the room and invite friends to a private film screening. Normally this is an unheard of feature in an apartment building, especially in New York where space is a precious commodity. The common areas will have a pool table, poker table, bar for entertaining, Wi-Fi, roof access and also a private outdoor rec space. This apartment building is ideal for entertaining guests and as a refuge from the congested city.

In order to revitalize a neighborhood, local small businesses are usually required to take charge and lead the way by turning their own community into a more livable place. Not only is this particular apartment building contributing some new life to the neighborhood, but the surrounding areas have also started to develop and flourish. New bars, restaurants and small business have opened and are attracting more people to the neighborhood. Some people consider Crown Heights to be a welt-kept secret, however such secrets tend to not last very long. Many neighborhoods in Brooklyn have taken this path of rejuvenation within the last decade, and small businesses like Mezuri Systems are working to make sure that their neighborhood is on the path to a productive transformation.
