Park Slope's Pavilion Theater to Be Replaced By Condos

April 24, 2015 — Living in New York means getting used to seeing places come and go. Sometimes when a place goes, however, you wonder what took so long. The Pavilion Theater in Park Slope was never a great place. It wasn't horrible, either. In fact, for all its faults and imperfections, it was a godsend to those who lived within walking distance or a stop or two on the F train. The sulky teenage staff and cramped seats were a small price to pay for convenience. The Pavilion is hardly a landmark, but it sits in a historic district, so that it has lasted this long — as the neighborhood's demographic changed and prices skyrocketed — is kind of remarkable. That it's lasted this long even after a bedbug scare and increasing complaints about questionable customer service is, in every sense of the word, incredible. But you see where we're going with this, don't you? DNAinfo reports that "developer Hidrock Realty will renovate the inside of the landmarked Pavilion to create 24 condos inside, as well as a retail space and 16-car parking garage." And a "'high-quality' theater will replace the historic cinema."
