Over the past 96 years, the Paramount theater has weathered its fair share of challenges, but our goal was clear: to restore, refresh, and elevate every facet of the building, rekindling the vibrant spirit of this extraordinary entertainment palace. Our aim was to craft a gathering place that Brooklyn could take pride in, one that would once again draw the world's top performers and become a premier destination.
While every aspect of the project holds significance, there are certain highlights that we hold dear:
The magnificent latticework ceiling of the venue, meticulously restored and illuminated with dynamic effects that transform the entire space, enhancing the stage performances.
Ella’s Lounge, a gem born from repurposed office, staircase, and hallway spaces, now transformed into a VIP lounge offering an elevated experience for venue patrons.
The restoration and enrichment of the three-story grand Foyer space, featuring a new bar, ticket lobby, and mesmerizing projection mapped visual effects, breathing new life into this iconic space.
