Upscale fast casual food hall opening in Manhattan

December 4, 2019

A eight-acre complex featuring a fast casual market is opening soon in Manhattan as a result of a partnership between Brookfield Properties and C3, a subsidiary of global lifestyle and hospitality company SBE. Named Citizens, the food hall will have established as well as new culinary brands at two full-service restaurants, multiple bars and a fast casual market hall, according to a company press release.

The 40,000-square-foot venue is inside Five Manhattan West, the cornerstone of New York's Manhattan West community, which will feature 6 million square feet of class-A office space, 844 luxury residences at The Eugene and the Pendry Manhattan West boutique hotel, according to the release.

"Innovative and of-the-moment culinary offerings are an essential part of a successful placemaking destination, and Citizens by sbe will help bring Manhattan West to another level," said Andrew Brent, VP of Brookfield Properties, which was also behind Hudson Eats at Brookfield Place, a dining terrace featuring fast casual concepts from 14 chef-driven eateries. "Hudson Eats at Brookfield Place has been a major success, but we wanted to create something even bigger and bolder at Manhattan West. The marketplace, restaurant and bar concepts created by sbe will provide elevated culinary experiences for the diverse array of audiences drawn to Manhattan West."
