Markel and Koroma of Cresa handle relocation for HUNGRY Marketplace to Long Island City

Nick Markel

Queens, NY Cresa vice presidents Nick Markel and LaMean Koroma have arranged the relocation of the New York office of HUNGRY Marketplace, a national food-tech catering company, to The Woodworks LIC, a full-block mixed-used industrial and office development in Hunters Point, Long Island City at 9-03 44th Rd.

The food production, catering, and business event platform is moving from Metro Tech Center in Brooklyn to a 2,750 s/f grade level, fully re-purposed space.

Representing the landlord, Barone Management, were Cushman & Wakefield’s Josh Kleinberg, managing partner, and Dale Braverman, associate. Asking rent for the three-year lease term was $40 per s/f.

“The new space is not only perfectly situated for this amazing organization, it offers significant perks including a great roof deck and on-site parking,” said Markel.

“HUNGRY Marketplace’s mission is to improve the lives of clients, chefs and the communities where they operate by providing a platform of business food and engagement solutions from top local and celebrity chefs. HUNGRY has rapidly expanded into seven urban markets, while attracting capital from a host of world-renowned investors and celebrity backers.”

HUNGRY Marketplace’s venture partners include celebrity chefs Tom Colicchio and Ming Tsai, superstars Jay Z, Usher, and Kevin Hart, and NFL players Los Angeles Ram’s Todd Gurley and Seattle Seahawk Bobby Wagner, among others.

Since its 2017 launch in Washington, D.C., HUNGRY Marketplace has opened operations in the greater New York metropolitan area, Atlanta, Austin, Boston, Dallas, and Washington, D.C. The company’s commitment to incubating and nurturing culinary talent and helping fight hunger positively impacts the local communities. To date, through its Fighting Hunger program, HUNGRY has provided over $500,000 to those in need.

Markel said, “Few organizations have the depth and purpose of HUNGRY Marketplace and it was a pleasure working with their team.”
