The Point will house many of Los Angeles’ most popular eateries including Mendocino Farms, founded in 2005 by Mario Del Pero and Ellen Chen, and recognized throughout the region for its commitment to elevating the art of the sandwich. The restaurant will be one of the first to open, offering innovative and soulful sandwiches, salads, and soups made with seasonal ingredients sourced from local Southern California farmers and food artisans.

Get ready; indoor cycling fans: SoulCycle is opening at The Point. The studio will feature over 50 bikes, SoulCycle’s signature SOUL Boutique and men’s and women’s locker rooms. SoulCycle reinvented indoor cycling and created a full-body cardio party on the bike. The 45-minute high-intensity cardio classes burn anywhere from 400-700 calories in 45 minutes, are led in candlelit rooms, and incorporate the use of arm weights for upper body weight training.

Superba Food & Bread will soon bring its food, art, and community to The Point. Paul Hibler, a hospitality pioneer and owner of Pitfire Artisan Pizza, the originator of the artisan pizza movement in Los Angeles will open Superba Food & Bread, a multi-purpose hub, functioning as a coffee house, wine bar, restaurant, marketplace, and local hangout. The restaurant has bloomed in the Venice community where locals can gather anytime for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, or even a midday snack.

Lucky Brand, the Los Angeles born denim and fashion company, will open a new location at The Point. The store will be the largest in its portfolio at almost 6,000 square feet, and will represent the most significant expression of the brand. The new product assortment will bring to life Lucky’s rich heritage in the worlds of denim, music, moto and Southern California living.

True Food Kitchen, created by boutique restaurant group, Fox Restaurant Concepts and based on the principals of best-selling author, Dr. Andrew Weil’s anti-inflammatory diet for optimum health, will be opening. True Food Kitchen, named a 2013 Nation’s Restaurant News Breakout Brand, is committed to using high-quality, locally and regionally sourced ingredients to create dishes that taste amazing while nourishing the mind, body and spirit.

ShopHouse Southeast Asian Kitchen who opened its first restaurant in 2011 in Washington, D.C. will be joining the neighborhood at The Point. Developed by Chipotle, ShopHouse draws on the unique flavors, ingredients and cooking methods of Southeast Asia, and takes its name from the mid-rise buildings prevalent throughout Southeast Asian cities where hard-working families live in apartments above the ground floor restaurants or markets that they operate. These shops serve as Asia’s version of fast food, with tiny kitchens turning out rice or noodle bowls laced with spicy sauces, marinated meats, and a flurry of herbs and vegetables.

“Space is limited at The Point, and we have selected a superior merchant mix that will attract, excite and fulfill our customers. Furthermore, we are in serious negotiations with additional merchants that will be announced soon,” said Jeff Kreshek, Vice President of Federal Realty West Coast Leasing.
