Chef Marcus Samuelsson Is Latest F&B Addition To Port Imperial Neighborhood

WEEHAWKEN, N.J., Aug. 26, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Roseland Residential Trust, a subsidiary of Mack-Cali Realty Corporation (NYSE: CLI), today announced that acclaimed Chef Marcus Samuelsson has brought his signature style and cuisine to Marcus at NoHu Rooftop, a chic rooftop bar and restaurant located at the EnVue, Autograph Collection hotel on the Weehawken waterfront. Reflective of Port Imperial's emergence as one of the New York Metropolitan Area's most desirable neighborhoods, the addition of world class food and beverage offerings from celebrity Chef Marcus Samuelsson will further elevate the area.

Situated on a 15,000-square-foot roof deck with expansive views of the Hudson River and Manhattan skyline, and featuring ample space for social distancing, Marcus at NoHu adds another dynamic to Port Imperial, where Roseland Residential Trust is leading the creation of a $3-billion, 200-acre neighborhood surrounding the NY Waterway ferry terminal.

Roseland is focused on creating a holistic, lifestyle-oriented destination at Port Imperial, where the company is currently developing two luxury residential projects  that are set to open in early 2021 — RiverHouse 9, a 313-unit building in Weehawken, and The Capstone, a 360-unit building in West New York.

"Roseland's placemaking success in Port Imperial is mirrored not only in the design of our thoughtfully-imagined properties, but also in its attraction of celebrity chefs such as Marcus Samuelsson," stated MaryAnne Gilmartin, Board Chair and Interim Chief Executive Officer of Mack-Cali Realty Corporation. "Our Port Imperial offerings provide more space, state-of-the-art amenity packages, incredible views of both the Hudson River and the Manhattan skyline, and now, signature culinary experiences," she explained. "When combined with the region's affordability and convenient transit access for cross-river commuters, Port Imperial is uniquely positioned to meet the demand for the urban-suburban conveniences and lifestyle that renters and hotel guests have been seeking for decades."

Marcus at NoHu features a menu of seasonally-inspired dishes and a hand-crafted selection of refreshing cocktails, wine, and beer. Chef Samuelsson is the acclaimed chef, cookbook author, TV personality, philanthropist and food activist behind iconic restaurants Red Rooster Harlem in New York City and Marcus B+P in Newark. He has won multiple James Beard Foundation awards for his work as a chef and as host of PBS's No Passport Required, his public television series produced with Vox/Eater. Samuelsson was crowned champion of Top Chef Masters and Chopped All Stars and was the guest chef for President Obama's first state dinner.

"The people in and around the Port Imperial community are craving new and exciting things to safely enjoy with their loved ones," said Matthes Metz, General Manager, EnVue. "We couldn't be more thrilled to team up with the powerhouse Chef Marcus Samuelsson to bring our community an amazing new dining offering during this difficult time period."
