Gibsons Restaurant Group Signs Lease at 919 on Fulton

Fulton Street Companies (FSC) has signed Gibsons Restaurant Group (GRG) to a 15,000-square-foot, ground-floor lease at its latest project 919 West Fulton Street in Chicago’s Fulton Market.

The new 400,000-square-foot, 11-story office building is currently under construction and the restaurant, whose concept has yet to be decided, will be Gibsons’ 13th location in the Chicago area when it debuts.

Alex Najem and Ross Babel negotiated the lease directly with Gibsons Restaurant Group. “We are thrilled to welcome Steve Lombardo and Gibsons Restaurant Group, the premier restaurateurs in the city, to our newest property in Fulton Market,” said FSC CEO Alex Najem.

Stephen Lombardo, Jr. has founded and operated restaurants since 1969. In 1989, Steve and his partner Hugo Ralli opened Gibsons Bar & Steakhouse, and today, GRG operates several concepts including Gibsons Italia, Hugo’s Frog Bar & Fish House, LUXBAR, and Quartino Ristorante & Wine Bar.
