“In addition to Starbucks, Kushner has also signed a lease with Koto Asian Bistro, a Japanese sushi steakhouse by a restaurant group with 30+ locations across the United States. Both locations are scheduled to open in late summer of 2022,” Kushner said in a release. “Since being acquired in 2014, The Shops at Pier Village have become one of New Jersey’s most sought-after retail destinations with over 2.3 million annual visitors, 493 luxury rental apartments, 243 upscale condos and 91 hotel rooms. Looking ahead to summer 2022, Kushner has signed leases with 9 new retail tenants in the last seven months alone.”


“Attracting high profile businesses like Starbucks and Koto to Pier Village is a testament to the desirability and confidence that The Shops and Pier Village provides to tenants of all sizes,” said Nicole Kushner Meyer of Kushner. “We are excited to welcome Starbucks, Koto and the diverse array of tenants who are joining the Pier Village family this year and further cementing its status as the premier Jersey Shore destination for residents, businesses and visitors alike.”

Ryan Starkman, Director at Pierson Commercial, the exclusive retail leasing agent for The Shops at Pier Village, added, “For tenants like Starbucks and Koto, there are few locations in the region that can provide the mix of visibility, foot traffic and demographics quite like Pier Village. We continue to see our existing tenants find tremendous success at the property and strong demand from potential tenants looking to experience and leverage all that the property has to offer.”
