The Howard Hughes Corporation’s South Street Seaport has gobbled up another marquee-name restaurateur for the Seaport District’s crown-jewel Pier 17 — super chef Andrew Carmellini. NoHo Hospitality Group, where Carmellini is partners with Josh Pickard and Luke Ostrom, just signed a lease for an 11,000-square-foot space to open next year.

Word of the deal first popped up in NYSE-traded HHC’s fourth-quarter earnings report, which was released after the market closed on Monday. The still-unnamed restaurant will be part of a “pier village” on the pier’s first floor and mezzanine, which previously also signed up Jean-Georges Vongerichten and David Chang. The “village” is composed of six, two-story food-and-beverage “boxes” situated to provide view corridors for visitors to see the Brooklyn Bridge and the East River.
