Hines senior managing director Jason Alderman confirmed: \u201cHudson Square is becoming one of the city\u2019s most interesting new dining corridors. Over the past several years, our \u00a0joint venture has worked intentionally to transform the neighborhood\u2019s ground-floor retail to provide the best mix of uses to our office tenants and local residents.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hudson Square \u2014 which isn\u2019t a square, but an irregularly-shaped \u00a0trapezoid \u00a0north of Canal Street and east of West Street \u2014 isn\u2019t a name that springs to mind as a restaurant mecca, the way Tribeca, Flatiron and Williamsburg do.<\/p>\n
But as the partnership scored more than\u00a064,000 square feet of retail leasing it its Hudson Square portfolio over the past two years, \u201cOur most recent culinary additions bring our vision to life \u2014 energizing the streetscape, attracting top operators, and positioning Hudson Square as a true destination,\u201d Alderman said.<\/p>\n
