Matsuhisa Denver, LLC, plans to open Matsuhisa Cherry Creek, a 7,800-square-foot restaurant at Steele Creek, the apartment and retail project at First Avenue and Steele Street (www.steelecreekliving.com). Matsuhisa will serve the world-renowned cuisine of Chef Nobuyuki Matsuhisa.
Steele Creek is a 12-story luxury residential building with 218 high-end apartments. The project offers a mix of two-bedrooms, one-bedrooms and studios with breathtaking views and condo quality finishes. The project also includes more than 17,000 square feet of retail space on the ground floor. Steele Creek offers a full array of amenities including: a 24-hour concierge, a roof-deck pool and lounge, a fully appointed private entertainment lounge and a 24-hour fitness center.
Matsuhisa plans to service the roof deck pool at Steele Creek, which sits atop the 12-story building. The restaurant will be open for lunch and dinner. Residents will be able to order food and drinks for their residences, as well as have Matsuhisa cater their events.
“This iconic, internationally acclaimed restaurant will further establish Steele Creek as the premier luxury residential community in Cherry Creek and greater Denver,” said Jarrett Posner, chairman of BMC Investments, the developer of Steele Creek.
Matt Joblon, CEO of BMC Investments, said, “With the addition of Matsuhisa and other new restaurants recently announced, we’re really seeing a renaissance in Cherry Creek that will make it a true fine dining destination to complement its appeal as the preeminent luxury district in Denver.”
“Matsuhisa in Aspen and Vail have hosted food lovers from around the world,” said co-owner Michael Goldberg. “We look forward to bringing Matsuhisa’s innovative menu to our guests in Denver.”
Born and raised in Saitama, Japan, Matsuhisa is a classically trained sushi chef who developed his inventive style when he opened a sushi bar in Peru. His career has been defined by finding new ways of incorporating different cultures, ingredients and styles into Japanese cuisine. He opened his first Matsuhisa restaurant in the United States in Beverly Hills in 1987, which became a magnet for food lovers and celebrities.
Matsuhisa was chosen as one of the Top Ten Restaurant Destinations in the world by the New York Times in 1993. Some of Matsuhisa’s honors from the culinary community include being named one of America’s 10 Best New Chefs by Food and Wine Magazine (1989), Southern California’s Rising Stars by Los Angeles Times Magazine (1998), induction into the Who’s Who of Food and Beverage in America by the James Beard Foundation (2002), numerous nominations for Outstanding Chef by the James Beard Foundation (1997, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006) and being named One of the 11 Most Influential Chefs of the Decade by Madrid Fusion (2009).
Matsuhisa Cherry Creek will open at the end of 2015. The interior design of the restaurant will be handled by Denver- and Aspen-based Rowland + Broughton, and the space will be built out by Haselden Construction, who is the general contractor for Steele Creek.
