Jones Lang LaSalle Construction has completed its work as general contractor for Society on High, a new farm-to-fork themed restaurant at street level of 99 High. 99 High is a 730,000 s/f first class office and retail tower owned by financial services firm TIAA-CREF.
Society on High serves lunch and dinner, as well as a light breakfast fare. The existing storefront was replaced with a new glass vestibule entry and French doors. Interior features include: all new finishes and materials, a custom millwork and marble bar, French mullion partitions, wood flooring, all new light fixtures, columns of millwork and mirrored glass, high backed booths with seating around high cocktail tables, a 21-seat bar, a library/meeting room for private functions, and a barista. There is a portable outdoor bar with grilling on the patio on High St.
"Society on High is a contemporary, American bistro offering local favorites with a unique decor. The outdoor patio, indoor marble bar, white rustic tiles, copper tables and vintage mirrors and chandelier create an atmosphere of relaxation, comfort and class. At Society on High, we strive for excellence in ambiance, cuisine, drinks, and service," said Society on High owner Ian Just.
"Our team worked together to complete a unique dining environment in the Financial District," said Jones Lang LaSalle senior vice president and project manager John Thomas. "After many months of planning and construction, we're excited to add another great project to out restaurant and retail portfolio."
Joining John on the Jones Lang LaSalle Construction team for the Society on High project was superintendent Peter Carr. Jones Lang LaSalle is the construction manager, property manager, and exclusive leasing agent for 99 High.
