Built in 1929, Kings Theatre on Flatbush Avenue is the largest indoor theater in Brooklyn and the third-largest theater in New York City. After closing its doors in 1977, the theater slowly fell into disrepair.
Following a merger with the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) enlisted developer Brookfield Office Properties to purchase and redesign their existing building at One North End in downtown Manhattan.
The $42-million modernization and renovation effort of the Robert Smith Vance Federal Courthouse—originally built in 1921—aimed to remediate and solve moisture-intrusion problems in the structure’s basement.
This 11,000-sq-ft renovation transformed an outmoded basement mechanical space into a light-filled workspace for the Duke Institute for Brain Sciences.
