Del Frisco’s Steakhouse has sold its 16,152-sq.-ft. restaurant at 9150 International Drive in Orlando for $15.1 million, according to Stan Johnson Company, which brokered the sale.

Planet Hollywood has taken the wraps off its Orlando, Florida flagship, which has been totally transformed with a dazzling, multi-million dollar renovation.

The Summit at Fritz Farm has signed CRU Food & Wine bar to a growing roster of gourmet dining establishments at the $156 million project under construction in Lexington, Kentucky.   The Summit, scheduled to open next spring, will feature 1 million-sq.-ft. of retail, 306 apartments, a boutique hotel, and 48,000 sq. ft. of Class A office space, according to developer Bayer Properties.   

New York -- The Howard Hughes Corp. announced that The Momofuku Group will open a new restaurant concept in the revitalized Seaport District in Lower Manhattan.
