Brookfield’s thriving Manhattan West complex already had Italian, Middle Eastern, Spanish and Japanese restaurants. Soon, it’s going to add home-town American favorite P.J. Clarke’s to the combo.
The eatery, officially referred to as P.J. Clarke’s Oyster Bar & Grille, signed a lease for 7,500 square feet at 424 W. thirty fourth St., aka 4 Manhattan West — a boutique office constructing between Ninth and Tenth Avenues.
It’s the one century-old property on the eight-acre Manhattan West site which Brookfield developed to the tune of $5 billion.
The brand new P.J. Clarke’s is the fourth in Manhattan, joining the 1884 original at Third Avenue and East fifty fifth Street and locations in Lincoln Square and at Brookfield Place downtown. Google Maps
The brand new P.J. is owner Phil Scotti’s fourth in Manhattan, joining the 1884 original at Third Avenue and East fifty fifth Street and locations in Lincoln Square on the Upper West Side and at Brookfield Place downtown.
Going far beyond hamburgers, it’s going to also sell dishes using local fish and shellfish.
Manhattan West is by some measures the most successful of Manhattan’s three great latest business complexes. The planned western half of Hudson Yards stays undeveloped. The World Trade Center remains to be one tower wanting its planned quartet and stricken by unfilled retail spaces.
But Manhattan West was largely a cakewalk for Brookfield and its partner Qatar Investment Authority despite the pandemic and office-market crash.
Its latest office towers, the Pendry Hotel, the Eugene rental apartment tower and a number of other public plazas were accomplished on schedule on a platform above busy railroad tracks.
