Westville Expands: Opening its 12th Location

Westville, the growing chain of American casual restaurants, signed for its 12th city location at 540 Third Ave. at East 36th St. The 4,148 square-foot lease was negotiated for the landlord, a joint venture of Gilar Realty and Ranco Capital, by Meridian Capital Group’s James Famularo and Jordan Langer.

The tenant was repped by CBRE’s Robert Bonicoro and Betsy Da Silva.

The new Westville is part of the retail space at The Dian, a 22-story luxury rental apartment building designed by Ismael Leyva Architects with the address of 162 E. 36th St.

Famularo said the lease typifies recent advances in Third Avenue’s retail fortunes, especially in food and beverage activity.
