Update on the Times Square Theatre — Page 3

“ Or they can literally RAISE the theatre like the palace and create a loading dock below the raised building.”



no they literally can’t I swear to god yall just say nonsense at the mirror so somebody will agree with you.

It is not "beyond a new life". There have been plenty of interested parties with legit, feasible plans for the building. Including the current one. It has just had an unfortunate string of bad luck with tenants. It's a major piece of (very expensive) real estate. Sometimes it takes years to find the right fit for such a property. It is a very common occurrence in the city. Take the 7 or N out to Queens and take a look at the array of vacant buildings littering the streets, some of them completed but empty shells, others with construction halted with only partial skeletons erected. And they've been that way for YEARS. All because of money issues.

You are welcome to feel however you want about this particular building. But the fact is that the city has declared it to be an important part of the street and wants it to stay. New 42 wants to find a landlord and begin collecting real rent. There are no plans to abandon these efforts. They have ownership for 99 years. The construction will resume when proper funding is secured and major tenants are in place. That's the plan, whether it takes another year or 10 years. If you are hoping that the thing gets demolished, or raised up in the air, or converted into a Broadway house...you will simply be waiting forever.

I think the Hayes doesn't allow for there to be any accessibility on the 43rd street side.

I’m not sure how you can claim all these redevelopment plans have been legit and *feasible* when, obviously, none of them have stuck and are in fact NOT feasible.
