Dad Spends $100K Building Daughters' Dream Apartments in Childhood Home So They Don't Waste Money on N.Y.C. Rent (Exclusive)

A Maryland father spent about $100,000 to build a private suite and an additional apartment for his daughters in their childhood home.
Jameelah and Hameedah Khadar moved back home after college due to high NYC rents and limited privacy.
The basement will become a private suite for Jameelah, with a six-seat theater and heated floors.
Hameedah’s space will have a separate entrance and garage, essentially a private one-bedroom unit.
The family aims to save on rent and invest toward future homeownership while the daughters pursue adulthood under one roof.
Jamal Khadar, 61, oversees the renovations as founder of Khatraco LLC to ensure the project meets his daughters’ needs.
The renovation timeline suggests Jameelah could move into the basement by December 2025, with Hameedah’s unit ready by February 2026.
The project includes a basement wet bar, a marble bathroom, heated floors, and custom built-ins for comfort and privacy.
The story emphasizes a family-centric solution to rising urban rents rather than external housing options.
The overall project cost reached six figures, reflecting a significant personal investment by the Khadar family.
