The yet-to-be-named eatery will replace The Cockentrice.
Paces Properties, the developer behind Inman Park’s Krog Street Market (KSM), Wednesday announced an agreement has been made with the Castellucci Hospitality Group to join the intown market with a brand-new, full-service anchor restaurant.
The yet-to-be-named concept will replace the recently shuttered Cockentrice restaurant and bar.
“Krog Street Market has been a great success since it’s opening, and we are very excited to bring a new restaurant concept to the market that will fit appropriately into the current dining landscape,” Federico Castellucci III, President of Castellucci Hospitality Group, said in the announcement.
“As with all of our restaurants we aim to create unique dining experiences that offer compelling food and sincere hospitality. I feel KSM is an ideal environment for us to further our brand in a neighborhood we’ve always admired.”
Both Paces Properties and Castellucci Hospitality Group moved quickly to come to an agreement for Castellucci to lease the 3,440-square-foot restaurant and patio space as of December 2016, and begin the buildout.
“After Friday’s news regarding the closing of The Cockentrice we received an influx of calls about the restaurant space. We began looking at those inquiries because we knew we didn’t want this to be empty for long,” Merritt Lancaster, a Principal of Paces Properties, said in the announcement.
“Federico and his team had reached out some time ago, but we didn’t have any anchor restaurant opportunities at that time. They connected with us again and thus timing is everything.”
Details about the restaurant concept and name will be shared over the coming months. Castellucci Hospitality Group is targeting a spring 2017 opening.
Castellucci Hospitality Group owns and operates Iberian Pig, Cooks & Soldiers, Sugo Kitchen, and Double Zero.
