Specializing in both tenant and landlord representation at Winick, she helped Outback Steakhouse and World of Beer open New York locations while also leasing the first Whole Foods in Williamsburg, Cushman said in its release.

Boutross was also “instrumental” in introducing Starbucks retail stores to the outer boroughs while working under an exclusive brokerage agreement for the coffee giant, CushWake said. – Rey Mashayekhi
