Din Tai Fung has signed a 15-year lease covering approximately 26,400 square feet for its Michelin Star-rated restaurant at 1633 Broadway, Paramount Group’s 48-story, 2.5 million-square-foot, trophy office tower located between 50th and 51st Street in Midtown. It will be the restaurant’s first New York City location.
“We are thrilled that internationally recognized Din Tai Fung has selected 1633 Broadway as its first New York restaurant,” said Peter Brindley, executive vice president, head of real estate at Paramount Group. “This transaction further exemplifies our focus on partnering with world class retail tenants and providing a spectacular amenity for tenants at 1633 Broadway and the neighborhood.”
Din Tai Fung will occupy the retail space situated beneath the glass entry cube in the public plaza at the base of 1633 Broadway. The restaurant, currently being designed by David Rockwell and his award-winning architecture and design firm Rockwell Group, is slated to open in 2023 and is expected to be a culinary destination bringing its unrivaled craftsmanship in the art of Xiao Long Bao soup dumplings and other fine dim sum cuisine to the east coast of the United States.
“Throughout our journey from a mom-and-pop restaurant founded in Taiwan during the 1950’s into an international brand, we have insisted on maintaining a standard of quality that has served us well. These principles include our culinary facets, which has made our traditional Xiao Long Bao and Chinese cuisine unmatched,” commented Aaron Yang, Vice President of Din Tai Fung. “These same standards extend to the environments we seek for our worldwide locations. The retail space at 1633 Broadway is unmatched in the market and will serve as the ideal location for our first restaurant on the east coast of the United States.”
