Three New Restaurants Coming to The Marquis

City Center Residential, the property management company behind the recent surge in apartment living in downtown Allentown, announced today it has leased all the retail space in The Marquis in downtown Easton, its first apartment community outside Allentown.

Amigos, a fast-casual Mexican restaurant with a location in downtown Allentown; ZEN, a new bar and lounge concept from the owners of Amigos; and The Joint Coffee Co., a café, will all open this summer on the ground floor of The Marquis, which will welcome its first residents in May of 2025.

The company also announced it has leased 30 percent of the 264 apartments in The Marquis, which is the largest residential project in Easton’s history. The $70 million building at 27 S. 3rd St. occupies the block between Pine and Ferry streets, having replaced the aging Pine Street Garage on South 3rd Street. The seven-story building features attached parking and high-end amenities like an infinity pool and a private dog park.

“We are thrilled to add three different great restaurants to The Marquis building for our residents and the public enjoy,” said Meagan Walsh, senior community manager for The Marquis. “Amigos, ZEN, and Joint Coffee Co. all have top-notch operators, and each restaurant will add vibrancy to the downtown Easton community.”

Joint Coffee Co. will occupy 1,300 square feet on the corner of 3rd and Ferry streets. Amigos will take up the 1,200-square-foot space next door, which connects to the 700-square-foot space that ZEN will occupy. With the three restaurants’ hours of operation combined, The Marquis’ ground floor will be open and active from 7 a.m. to 12 a.m. daily. On weekends, Amigos plans to offer late-night service until 3 a.m.

Designed by Core States Group, The Marquis offers studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments. The pet-friendly building features a lounge with a fireplace, a dog park with outdoor seating, a coworking lounge, a courtyard with a firepit, grills, bocce and cornhole, a rooftop deck, and a vanishing-edge swimming pool with a sun shelf.

Apartments in The Marquis provide open gourmet kitchens with a stainless-steel Energy Star® appliance package, soft-close drawers, quartz countertops, and subway-tile backsplashes. Each apartment has luxury vinyl-wood plank flooring, full-sized stackable washers and dryers, and premium finishes throughout. The building will provide controlled access, community-wide Wi-Fi, and bike storage, as well as onsite professional management, 24/7 urgent maintenance, and concierge services like pet walking.

Residents of The Marquis will be just steps away from local favorite spots like the Easton Public Market, Three Oak Steakhouse, and the Belleville Market, and can participate in exclusive resident events, such as downtown happy hours, snowtubing at Blue Mountain, and volunteer opportunities.

The Marquis was built by North Star Construction under a joint venture between City Center Group and Bethlehem’s Peron Development.
