The Real Deal New York

Burger chain Shake Shack is continuing its rapid expansion, with plans to open new locations in Battery Park City, Brooklyn, Westport, Conn. and Washington, D.C., according to real estate law firm Belkin Burden Wenig & Goldman, which represented the eatery in executing leases at the four new spots. Although the exact locations of the new Shake Shack outlets were not immediately clear, a spokesperson for the law firm did say that the new stores are expected to open this year. The burger chain has five existing locations in New York City, at Madison Square Park, the Upper West Side, Midtown, Citi Field and the Upper East Side, which opened this past fall. TRD
