First-to-Market Concept LemonShark Poke
Atlanta, GA (April 16, 2019) — Newmark Knight Frank (NKF) announced

today that it brokered a 2,050-square-foot lease with LemonShark Poke
at The Bishop, a new mixed-use development adjacent to Palisades
office park in Sandy Springs. Known for its Hawaiian-style cuisine, the
fast-growing poke chain’s new location marks its official entrance into
Georgia.
LemonShark Poke will open for business this summer at the ground-floor
of The Bishop, which is located at 1115 Springwood Connector. The
project also includes neighboring retail and approximately 400 luxury
apartments. Multifamily developer and investment firm Pollack Shores
owns the development, which is expected to benefit from its proximity to
numerous job centers and MARTA.
Associate Director Chris Dundon of Newmark Knight Frank represented

the tenant. Charlie Banks and Jack Arnold from Stream Realty
represented the landlord.
The new restaurant will be run by franchise owner D.J. Fuchs. Named
after the Lemon Shark who only consumes the very best fish possible,
LemonShark Poké prides itself on serving the finest quality ingredients to
its guests. In addition to traditional poké offerings, the menu includes
shareable appetizers such as tempura shrimp and egg rolls, and its
signature Hawaii Katsu menu that features cooked-to-order, delectable
entrées including chicken, Alaskan cod and more. In addition,
LemonShark Poké’s new location provides locals with an elevated dining
experience – featuring Japanese-inspired upscale, chic décor. The Sandy
Springs location will also feature an oyster bar and a beer wall which will
serve a variety of Atlanta’s local craft beers.
“Atlanta is growing at such a rapid rate, and NKF presented our team
with a rare opportunity to introduce a first-to-market concept in a top ten
metropolitan area,” said Fuchs. “We’re excited to bring our combination
of extraordinary service, comprehensive food selection and tight-knit
family community to Sandy Springs.”

Fuchs plans to open multiple LemonShark Poké locations around the city
as the franchise continues to grow.
“This particular location in Sandy Springs has quickly emerged as a new

social hub and reflects LemonShark’s strategy to appeal to a wide array
of people,” said Dundon. “We expect the restaurant to capitalize on the
growing office population and new supply of Class A renters who seek
unique and healthy dining options that are close to work or home. We
look forward to watching D.J. and his team grow LemonShark’s footprint
in metro Atlanta.”
The Bishop is located near the intersection of Peachtree Road and

Hammond Drive, the Dunwoody MARTA station and the future addition
of the East-West connector between Peachtree Dunwoody Road and
Perimeter Center. Plans also call for approximately $5 million in road
improvements, multi-use trails/sidewalks, enhanced property access and
additional green space.

11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. For more information, please visit

Newmark Knight Frank Hires Sean Moynihan to Lead

Atlanta Office
Atlanta, GA (Feb. 20, 2019) — Newmark Knight Frank (NKF), one of the
world’s leading commercial real estate advisory firms, today announced
that it has hired Sean Moynihan as Executive Vice President and Market
Leader for the company’s Atlanta office. Moynihan’s initial goals are
focused on creating a modern, next-generation workplace that will
enable NKF to attract top talent at all levels.
Having originally joined NKF in 2003 as a tenant rep, Moynihan returns to

the firm after holding a variety of executive positions across the
commercial real estate industry. Moynihan’s extensive leasing track
record includes a 106,000-square-foot build-to-suit for Nelson Mullins
Riley & Scarborough at Atlantic Station, a 108,000-square-foot early
restructure and expansion of the global headquarters for Immucor
Gamma, and a relocation and consolidation of First Data’s 184,000-
square-foot headquarters in Atlanta.
In his new role, Moynihan will apply his learnings in the industry, as well
as his experience as a soccer coach, to lead the NKF Atlanta team.
"We are very pleased to welcome Sean back to Newmark Knight Frank,"
said Lou Alvarado, Chief Revenue Officer and East Region Market Leader
at NKF. "Sean's unique skill set, extensive network of contacts and ability
to coach will be extremely valuable as we continue to build out our
various service lines and embark on a new hiring initiative in Atlanta. He
has the vision and know-how to take NKF to the next level, and we have
full confidence in his leadership ability as we begin an exciting new
chapter for this office."
In conjunction with his professional soccer background, Moynihan also

serves as a coaching director, and past president, for Gwinnett Soccer
Academy (GSA), one of Georgia’s largest youth soccer clubs. Before
turning pro with the New Jersey Stallions (USL), he competed at the
NCAA Division 1 level as a three-year starter and captain for Monmouth
University in New Jersey. Moynihan has also been heavily involved with
the Buckhead YMCA, including volunteer of the year in 2014, where he
served on the board of directors for 12 years.

"There is incredible positive momentum at NKF, and I’m thrilled to have

the opportunity to mentor this team and oversee an expansion that will
position our firm as a top contender in metro Atlanta," Moynihan said.
"As with soccer, in this business you win with people, and that’s why
finding the right people is so critical. We will start by investing in our
company culture, which includes incorporating a more modern and
functional workspace that appeals to today’s real estate professional.”
Moynihan is taking over for former NKF Regional Managing Director Brett
Hunsaker who left NKF to pursue other opportunities.
“I have big shoes to fill, and I’m thankful for Brett’s assistance in making
this a seamless transition,” said Moynihan.
Moynihan comes to NKF from IBT Enterprises where he assisted clients

in achieving an enhanced consumer experience and drove revenue
through innovative concepts and high-quality design. He has also held
executive positions at Avison Young and Carter.
