I was listening to the K Street meeting today, and there was a speaker that really caught my attention.
His name was Jim Brennan, he the one that is renovating the Atkins Building at 10th and K in the office condos and ground floor restaurant. He said he has also acquired the Kress Building, 920, 924, 930 K Street (which are the 3 buildings on south-west most corner of 10th and K) and the most intriguing, The Crest Theater.
He said they are going to reposition The Crest into a performing art center.
He's a Juilliard School Grad that has done projects in the Gaslamp, SOMA and was the main driver behind getting Louise Davies for seed money for the
Louise Davies Symphony Hall in SF, along with work on the Opera House and Ballet Building in SF.
Seeing The Crest as a performing arts center would be a pretty darn cool thing. One down side though would be I'm not sure they would still show films.
