Naftali Group signed its first big retail tenant at Williamsburg Wharf, the developer’s 3.75-acre residential complex on the East River waterfront.
Famed chef Eyal Shani’s Good People Group is to launch a 4,000 square-foot restaurant later this year on the Kent Avenue side.
Jerusalem-born Shani’s other places here include HaSalon on 10th Avenue (where his controversial $24 tomato made a splash in 2019), Shmone on West 8th Street and Port Sa’id on Hudson Street. The Williamsburg Wharf venue will be an unspecified new concept.
Naftali Group’s other Big Apple projects include 200 East 83d Street and the Benson, both condo towers, in Manhattan.
