Founded in 1976 as a major international fast-food franchise by Lois and Richard Nicotra, The Nicotra Group, LLC has since developed into Staten Island’s premiere real estate development company with properties in Staten Island and Manhattan. As Staten Island’s largest private real estate developer, the award-winning Nicotra Group owns, manages and leases more than one million sq. ft. of prime commercial space and countless acres of impeccably cared for grounds. These properties include seven Class A office buildings, the 198 room Hilton Garden Inn, the adjacent Nicotra’s Ballroom and Conference Center, Above and Above Rooftop, the popular Lorenzo’s Restaurant, Bar & Cabaret and the 107 room Hampton Inn & Suites – all located within a 415-acre natural wildlife preserve in the Corporate Park of Staten Island.
