CULTURAL & RELIGIOUS
NBT has partnered with L&M Development Partners to develop a 20-story mixed-use building at 2023-2033 Fifth Avenue. The new building will include residential units, an event space, retail, and the new home of NBT. NBT’s portion of the development (approx.. 24,000sf) will include a ground floor lobby, event and theater space on the 3rd and 4th floors, office space on the 5th floor and back of house spaces in the cellar. Our role in the project is to lead the multi-faceted team of the theatre build out and also to represent the interests of NBT in the negotiation of changes to the work, cost, and schedule with the developer.
