Block 37 Movie Theater - Finally!!!!
^ Beat me to it!
Finally!!!!
About freakin' time!! Nice and upscale - and sufficiently expensive - with a strong security detail is an absolute necessity here. State Street overall needs to not be completely dragged down into discounters'/teens/tweens/college kids' row, and Block 37 is the obvious logical catalyst to provide the balance by a more upscale offering on the street.....
This is a bit larger too than previous plans (those were in the 8-screen, 35-40k sq ft range, and exclusively on the fourth floor - while this completed deal includes at least some amount of space - my working assumption is just a quite small amount - on the third floor - this at least according to the report in the Trib....the report in Crain's did not mention anything about the third floor, and I haven't yet had a chance to read the actual press releases from either CIM Group or AMC) - so good news on that front too.
Spoke with someone recently at Block 37 who mentioned that part of the hold up has been that they can't begin work on anything on the fourth floor until the tower reaches a certain height/stage of construction....perhaps someone here is able to corroborate that.....
