Spiegel and Joachim of Rose Associates lease 2,583 s/f at 286 First Avenue; Hochhauser of Winick repesents tenant - Chipotle Mexican Grill

Rose Associates, the New York-based full-service real estate firm, signed a 15-year lease with Chipotle Mexican Grill for 2,583 s/f at 286 First Ave. The Peter Cooper Village/Stuyvesant Town retail location was formerly home to a Strawberry clothing store. Bruce Spiegel, senior managing director for Rose, and Louis Joachim II, commercial leasing associate, represented the landlord in the transaction. Kenny Hochhauser of Winick Realty Group represented Chipotle Mexican Grill. "Chipotle is a perfect addition to the retail mix at Peter Cooper Village and Stuyvesant Town," said Spiegel. "We anticipate that residents at the complex, students at neighboring schools, and workers at nearby Beth Israel Hospital will respond very well to this popular restaurant offering." Rose Associates has long acted as exclusive leasing agent for the retail and commercial portion of Peter Cooper Village/Stuyvesant Town.
