"For years, I was a tenant and the experience wasn't pleasant. I always thought that if I had the opportunity to be a landlord, I would treat my tenants like kings- and I do. I'm the best landlord on Staten Island - or so my tenants tell me."
- Richard Nicotra

Founded in 1976 as a major international fast-food franchise by Richard and Lois Nicotra, The Nicotra Group, LLC has since developed into Staten Island’s premiere real estate development company with properties in Staten Island and Manhattan. As Staten Island’s largest private real estate developer, the award-winning Nicotra Group owns, manages and leases nearly one million sq. ft. of prime commercial space and countless acres of impeccably cared for grounds. These properties include seven Class A office buildings, the 200 room Hilton Garden Inn, the adjacent Nicotra’s Ballroom and Conference Center, the popular Lorenzo’s Restaurant, Bar & Cabaret and the 107-room Hampton Inn & Suites – all located within a 415-acre natural wildlife preserve in the Corporate Park of Staten Island.

The Nicotra Group, LLC, Hilton Garden Inn Staten Island, Hampton Inn & Suites, Lorenzo's Restaurant, Bar & Cabaret, Nicotra's Ballroom and Nicotra properties in The Corporate Park of Staten Island support the community and environment through The Lois & Richard Nicotra Foundation and Bloomfield Conservancy.
