Nobu, the luxury hospitality brand co-founded by actor Robert De Niro, is set to make its debut in the Pacific Northwest next year. The brand, known for its high-end restaurants and residences, will open a new location in the Seattle area in 2025.
New Development Planned for Bellevue
The upcoming Nobu property will be situated in Bellevue, Washington, a city located just east of Seattle. The development will include both a Nobu restaurant and a residential component, continuing the brand’s tradition of combining fine dining with luxury living spaces.
Details of the Bellevue Project
The Bellevue project will feature a Nobu restaurant, a hotel, and Nobu-branded residences. The site is planned for the intersection of Northeast 8th Street and Bellevue Way, within the city’s downtown core. The project is being developed in partnership with the Bellevue-based firm Fortress Development.
