British steakhouse brand Hawksmoor has signed as the restaurant at Westfield’s new World Trade Centre development, New York.
Hawksmoor will anchor the Richard Rogers-designed Tower 3 with a 14,500sq ft unit, which is its largest restaurant to date.
The glass unit will also overlook the WTC memorial ‘reflection pools’ and is set to open by the end of 2017.
The new World Trade Center is a 16-acre mixed-used environment composed of five office towers, the eight-acre Memorial Plaza and over 500,000 sq ft of shopping and dining.
Tracey Mills, head of development leasing at Davis Coffer Lyons who acted on the deal, said: “Hawksmoor is an undeniably sassy outfit that really embodies the vibe of the London food scene at the moment and we knew they had international scalability. As a steak concept, they also deliver a cuisine that New Yorkers inherently understand and appreciate, but delivered in a very different style to anything currently operating in Manhattan.”
