Sweetgreen is first new tenant opening at Manhasset Row reboot | Long Island Business News

A Sweetgreen eatery will be the first of the new tenants to open at a redeveloped Manhasset retail property. 

The new 4,018-square-foot fast-casual restaurant at 1593 Northern Blvd. is slated to open at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 25. The Manhasset Sweetgreen will be the chain’s fourth on Long Island, following locations in Garden City, Woodbury and Huntington Station. 

Sweetgreen is one of five new tenants at the newly redeveloped Manhasset Row. The project from Manhasset 1577 LLC, an affiliate of Jericho-based AJM Real Estate, began about five years ago aiming to reimagine a strip of stores between 1575 and 1595 Northern Blvd. The developer removed part of the building to add more parking and reposition the property for its new tenants. 

Formerly occupied by Sleep Number, Investors Bank, Mayweather Boxing + Fitness, Mystique Boutique and Destination Maternity, only the bank, now Citizens Bank, remains. Besides Sweetgreen, the new Manhasset tenants will include a 1,765-square-foot T-Mobile, Visual Comfort, a 3,247-square-foot designer lighting showroom, a 2,249-square-foot Joe & The Juice and a 1,670-square-foot Laser Away studio. 

Patrick Breslin of CBRE represented T-Mobile, Brian Schuster of RIPCO Real Estate represented Visual Comfort, RIPCO’s Jason Sobel represented Joe & The Juice, Michael Miller of The Shopping Center Group represented Laser Away and Schuster and his RIPCO colleague Tom Rettaliata represented Sweetgreen. Sobel and Schuster represented the landlord, Manhasset 1577 LLC, in all of the Manhasset Row lease transactions. 

“We started working with the original owners in 2019 and almost seven years later, it is incredibly gratifying to finally see the finished product. Kudos to the developer for having the fortitude to see it through,” Schuster told LIBN. “Manhasset Row sits in the heart of the ‘Miracle Mile’ which is among the most desirable and sought after retail markets in the entire New York metropolitan area. Given the location and the high-end aesthetic, which is so difficult to find on Long Island, no doubt this project will be a tremendous success.”  

The Sweetgreen in Manhasset, which offers salads, warm bowls, protein plates and sides, will celebrate its opening day by giving its first 150 guests seasonal chocolates from Lazar’s Chocolate, apple cider donuts from Jericho Cider Mill and mini-Thanksgiving bouquets from Hometown Flower Company. In addition, Sweetgreen will donate a meal to Island Harvest for every meal purchased on opening day. 

Publicly traded Sweetgreen was founded in 2007 when it opened its first restaurant in Washington, D.C. and now has about 250 locations throughout 19 states and the District of Columbia. The company reported 2024 revenue of $677 million.
