A team from Winick Realty Group has built on the restaurant boom it brought to Maiden Lane and brought three new fast food restaurants right around the corner to Pearl Street.
Yushi Asian Kitchen, Roti Mediterranean Grill and the quick service vegetarian vendor Terri have landed in a 4,800-square-foot block at the back of 100 Maiden Lane vacated by HSBC.
Winick Executive Vice President Darrell Rubens and Director Lee Block divided and leased the space. Messrs Rubens and Block were responsible for bringing the food tenants Chipotle, Dunkin Donuts, Subway, Gristedes, Just Salad, Hot Clay Oven and Good Burger to Maiden Lane starting five years ago.

BY AL BARBARINO
Besen & Associates has arranged the $22.9 million sale of a nine-story, 86,360-square-foot city-run transitional housing facility for homeless families at 2520 Tilden Avenue in East Flatbush, Brooklyn.
Known as Tilden Hall, the nine-story residential building one block east of Bedford Avenue features 117 apartments and rests in a neighborhood characterized by row houses, cottage homes and an array of mom and pop stores.
It is leased to Highland Park Development, which signs bi-yearly service agreements with the city and its Department of Homeless Services to provide transitional housing, counseling and rehabilitation programs for families in need, which made the transaction stickier than your average multifamily deal, but also more promising for the buyer, United Realty Trust.
