The project will also feature Katsuya as well as another award-winning sbe culinary concept and a soon-to-be-announced signature sbe mixology concept.
"We are extremely proud to begin our longstanding partnership with my dear friend Nicolas Carrancedo and Be Grand, one of the largest and most respected development companies in Mexico," said Sam Nazarian, Founder and CEO of sbe. "We are thrilled to bring the Mondrian brand to this prestigious district and cultural hub in Mexico City, and to break ground on future sbe branded properties in Mexico with Be Grand."

This project speaks to the overall global expansion of sbe, and the critical role that Mexico plays in the company's international growth. Mondrian Polanco's debut precedes the upcoming openings of nine other sbe-branded properties in collaboration with Be Grand over the next five years. The debut of Mondrian Polanco Hotel & Residences also substantiates the incredible growth of sbe's residential platform, with 1,300 branded residential units sold to date, valued at $2 billion and $1.8 billion more in the pipeline.

The anticipated development is poised to become a landmark destination in Polanco, a district that is known as one of the best-kept secret treasures in the world. Mondrian Polanco Hotel & Residences will raise the hospitality bar amongst some of the city's most famous museums and world class restaurants, unveiling sbe's signature lifestyle entertainment to the area, offering visitors and tourists a brand-new luxury lifestyle mecca.
