Global Holdings has announced that Australian restaurant brand THISBOWL has committed to a long-term New York presence with a new lease at 1880 Broadway on the Upper West Side. The fast-growing concept, which has established a following in Australia, has signed a 10-year lease for 1,989 square feet at the property as it continues to build out its New York City footprint.
The restaurant will be located in a mixed-tenant building whose retail lineup already features JPMorgan Chase and West Elm. With THISBOWL added to the roster, Global Holdings reports that the building’s retail space is now 95% leased, indicating limited remaining availability along this stretch of Broadway.
Craig Panzirer, senior vice president and director of leasing at Global Holdings, said the transaction reflects the property’s positioning as a destination for lifestyle-oriented concepts. He noted that the building’s location has consistently attracted established retail and restaurant operators and that the latest lease extends THISBOWL’s trajectory from its Australian base into a dense, residential New York neighborhood.
Panzirer also emphasized that Global Holdings views the brand as a strong fit for the surrounding community, citing confidence that the operator’s New York expansion will build on its performance in its home market. The addition of THISBOWL further diversifies the tenant mix at 1880 Broadway, which now combines financial services, home furnishings, and food-and-beverage users within the same retail block.
On the tenant side, THISBOWL was represented in the lease negotiations by Neal Ohm and Michael Cohen of Newmark. Global Holdings was represented by Newmark brokers Ben Birnbaum, James Panzarella, and Ariel Schuster, who worked in conjunction with Global Holdings’ in-house leasing team led by Panzirer and Alex Radmin.
The lease underscores ongoing demand from international restaurant concepts for prominent, high-traffic New York City corners, particularly in established residential neighborhoods such as the Upper West Side. For Global Holdings, bringing retail occupancy at 1880 Broadway to 95% through this transaction further stabilizes the asset’s ground-floor income profile while reinforcing its positioning with a mix of credit and lifestyle-oriented tenants.
