Brookfield Properties has concluded a new strategic deal with Manifesto Market to join the pedestrian-friendly and vibrantly redesigned Potsdamer Platz in Berlin.
Both were supported by ECE Marketplaces.
Manifesto will operate a flagship food hub of 4,400sq m and will bring together
25 restaurants, convenience grocery, two bars, a chef’s table, and a cultural
stage. The company, founded in mid-2018, will operate its own bar under the
brand “Soot.” Manifesto’s sustainable and cashless food hubs gather local
gastro entrepreneurs and artisans, as well as Michelin-recommended chefs in one
exciting place. Manifesto Berlin will be the fourth and largest food hub
launched by American architect and entrepreneur Martin Barry and Chief Growth
Officer Hollie Lin, the former Googler. The concept makes world-class dining an
accessible occasion, every day. To transform places into memorable
destinations, Manifesto combines dining experiences with cultural and lifestyle
events, education, and entertainment.
“We are placemakers committed to digital-first commerce. Manifesto creates
magnetic experiences that bring people together around food and culture,” says Martin Barry, Founder and CEO of
Manifesto. “Aligning our brand with Brookfield Properties’ regeneration of
Potsdamer Platz is a natural and exciting step for us as we embark on an
ambitious international expansion. We couldn’t imagine a better partner and
couldn’t have picked a cooler city for our first site outside Prague. Our
incredible team will once again pioneer a cashless and digital revolution in
food service – something we’ve proven to be highly successful and tremendously
convenient in Prague.”
