BCD selected to manage construction of two Dinosaur Bar-B-Que
According to BCD, they have been selected to manage two construction projects for Dinosaur Bar-B-Que.
As a result of Columbia University's expansion, Dinosaur Bar-B-Que in Harlem will be relocated to a new building across the street from the current location. The 7,200 s/f restaurant will be located on the southwest corner of 12th Ave. and 125th St. next to Fairway and the new entrance to the Harlem River Park Esplanade.
Also, at their original restaurant in Syracuse, Dinosaur Bar-B-Que will be adding a 2nd level.  The new space, designed to resemble a beer hall, will be 3,700 s/f.
Dinosaur Bar-B-Que was founded by John Stage in 1988. Since that time, Dinosaur has regularly been acclaimed as one of the best bar-b-que restaurants in the country. In addition to the Harlem and Syracuse locations, Dinosaur Bar-B-Que has another location in Rochester, with plans for further regional development.

What noteworthy transactions or deals from this year best exemplified key market trends or shifts? I would like to say there was an outstanding transaction for me this past year but 2024 was more a culmination of long-term relationships, most of which continued to transact. Deals were smaller in many cases but we saw robust leasing both on the agency side as well as on the tenant side.
