JARMEL KIZEL CELEBRATES 30TH ANNIVERSARY IN 2005- ARCHITECT IS RAPIDLY
GROWING IN THE MARKETPLACE
LIVINGSTON, NJ, JULY 25, 2005 —Jarmel Kizel Architects and Engineers, Inc.,
is celebrating its 30th anniversary in business this year. Founded in 1975,
Jarmel Kizel Architects and Engineers, Inc. is one of the largest,
full-service architectural and engineering firms in New Jersey and has
experienced consistent growth throughout its history, while maintaining its
entrepreneurial culture and spirit.
Jarmel Kizel Architects and Engineers, Inc. was founded by Marvin Jarmel, as
ISS - Interior Space Specialists, Inc. in 1975. The Firm initially
specialized in the interior design of corporate offices and provided design,
product procurement and construction management services. In the early
1990's, his two sons, Matthew, an architect, and Richard, an engineer,
joined the firm and began to transform it into a general practice of
architectural services. Irwin Kizel, an architect and professional planner,
with vast building experience, joined the firm shortly thereafter. The Firm
then changed its name to The ISS Architectural Group, Inc. In 1998, the Firm
added a full-service engineering department, which allowed it to handle
virtually all aspects of both the architectural and engineering components
of buildings. In March of 2000, to mark its 25th anniversary and to show
pride in its work, the principals changed the Firm’s name to Jarmel Kizel
Architects and Engineers, Inc.
Marvin Jarmel stated, “It is with great pride that I am able to announce our
30th year in business. Prospering in the design industry requires a lot of
determination, a focused business strategy, and a bit of luck. The key to
our continued presence in the market is our extremely talented team of
professionals at Jarmel Kizel. Without their dedicated efforts to our
organization, we would not be where we are today.”
Jarmel Kizel considers itself general practitioners of architectural and
engineering services. However, specialties include: Commercial Interior
Design, Office Building Design, Industrial Building Design, Building
Renovation Design for adaptive reuse, Data Center Design, Retail Center
Design and Educational Facility Design. Also, the Firm’s Principals have
extensive experience with the development process and have been qualified as
expert witnesses before Municipal Planning and Zoning Boards, public housing
authorities and redevelopment authorities.
Irwin Kizel commented, “Thirty years is a milestone in any industry, but
particularly in our profession. Our anniversary celebration is really an
opportunity to thank our clients for their unwavering support and
dedication. This milestone would not be possible without our amazing client
base.”

Fromm, The Schultz Organization, Smith Barney / Citigroup, The State of New
Jersey, Staubach, Stavola Realty Company and Weichert Realtors.
Matthew Jarmel added, “While we have grown dramatically since my father
founded the organization, one thing that has not changed is our
family-oriented, quality culture. It is something of which I am very proud.
I look around our office and am amazed at how much we have grown, but, the
culture of people over projects, integrity above all else and our passion
for service is the same as when I joined the firm almost 17 years ago.”
Richard Jarmel commented, “Jarmel Kizel is constantly growing and expanding
our services as well as our client base. Just this past year alone, we have
entered into product and brand design as well as structural and civil
engineering. I believe that one of the keys to our longevity has been our
ability to constantly change, innovate and evolve.”
