The Palace Theatre project achieved the remarkable feat of lifting the historic Broadway icon 30 feet to expand its functionality, enhance accessibility, and preserve its relevance in the modern urban landscape. This ambitious effort required the stabilization of the building and continuous monitoring, supported by a large team of professionals, ensuring that the building was lifted without damaging the historic plaster. The successful execution of this complex procedure preserved the interior landmark’s integrity, maintaining the theater’s historic character while adapting it to meet contemporary needs. Key design achievements include a meticulous reimagining of the space to balance preservation with modernization. A new palette of lost finishes was introduced, reestablishing the theater’s sophisticated atmosphere with deep blue carpeting and plush velvet seating. These design elements create a luxurious backdrop for a new Art Deco-inspired chandelier, which not only adds grandeur but also highlights the beautifully restored plaster ornamentation with enhanced lighting and gilded accents. The addition of commercial space below the lifted theater expands its role within the community, creating new revenue opportunities while maintaining its cultural significance. By blending historic preservation with modern functionality, the project ensures the Palace Theatre remains a vital and cherished landmark for future generations."
