The Nicotra Group

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 150-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. Richard and Lois Nicotra direct 25% of the profits from the Corporate Commons to the Lois and Richard Nicotra Foundation. The mission of the Nicotra Foundation is to support the children of The Nicotra Group employees in their pursuit of a college education as well as supporting a variety of not-for-profit institutions.
