District RE Advisors negotiates 7,317 s/f lease for Hook + Line restaurant
Boston, MA District Real Estate Advisors negotiated the lease of 7,317 s/f for Hook + Line at the base of Mass Mutual’s new headquarters located at 10 Fan Pier Blvd. in the Seaport. Hook + Line is a brand-new concept that comes from famed local restaurateur Tom Schlesinger-Guidelli who also opened “Alcove” in the West End. The menu features a modern take on the classic seafood dishes of New England. The restaurant is also accompanied by Hook + Line Market, a standalone fish market for the on-the-go diner.
Christopher Mearn of District Real Estate Advisors represented Hook + Line, while Matt Curtain of CBRE represented the landlord.
Mearn said, “Tom’s exceptional talent, commitment to hospitality, and dedication to patrons, coupled with the impressive buildout and delicious cuisine, are certain to make Hook + Line a great success in the Seaport neighborhood.”
