WS Development leases 2,500 s/f to Aceituna Grill

Boston, MA According to WS Development, Aceituna Grill opened within 101 Seaport (57 Boston Wharf Rd.) on February 9. This will mark the second location for the local, family-owned Mediterranean grill, which has earned thousands of fans with its twelve-year old Kendall Square location in Cambridge. Aceituna’s opening at 101 Seaport is part of 101 Seaport’s 25,000 s/f, street-level retail experience led by WS Development.

Aceituna Grill is known and loved for its healthy, fresh and scratch-made menu. Founded by the Kurban family in 2004, the concept not only speaks to their personal love for food and its ability to bring people together, but also to their conviction that Bostonians were missing out on high quality Mediterranean food.

Aceituna Grill’s 2,500 s/f space seats 49 and will appeal to the thousands of professionals in the Seaport and Financial Districts, catering as well as online ordering are available.  

“The culinary options in the Seaport continue to grow at lightning speed, and we are so pleased to count Aceituna Grill among them. It is particularly meaningful to bring a local, family owned business with a deep commitment to sharing their healthy, delicious Mediterranean recipes to 101 Seaport,” said Brian Sciera, vice president at WS Development.

101 Seaport features triple paned glass imported by WS from Italy. Setting a new benchmark for sustainable design in Boston, 101 Seaport is the first office building in the city to achieve LEED v3 Platinum Certification from the U.S. Green Building Council.  

In addition to Aceituna Grill, the retail offerings at 101 Seaport currently include the recently opened Chipotle Mexican Grill and Starbucks.
