Client

World-renowned high-class Peruvian restaurant and Pisco Bar Coya trading from London, Miami and Dubai. Coya forms part of Arjun Waney’s $200 million a year restaurant empire which owns two of the world’s most iconic, not to mention highly profitable restaurant brands: Zuma (London, Hong Kong, Istanbul, Dubai, Miami, Bangkok, Abu Dhabi, Datca Peninslia, New York, Rome, Las Vegas) and Petite Mason (London, Dubai, Istanbul, Miami).

Brief

Appointed by founding director and CEO Adam Bel Hadj Amar to secure a 5,000-10,000 City restaurant with a rent of sub £50 per square foot. The site needed to be located within the heart of the city in an attractive building with a prominent frontage and uncompromised trading area.

Process

We identified a handful of prestigious target locations then set to work making contact with an array of developers, funds and industry contacts. The search and legal process took circa 8 months and confounded pessimistic Brexit predictions.

Result

5,000 Sq Ft new build Bank restaurant within Mitsui Fudosan UK and Stanhope PLC’s prestigious 300,000 Sq Ft Angel Court development. Restaurant secured on time and within budget with extended rent free concession.
