The transformation of the building adjacent to LIU at 385 Flatbush Avenue Extension includes a sloped floor for optimal viewing for all fans, seven bars, member boxes and a VIP lounge, inspired by Ms. Fitzgerald’s 1950s performances. The venue will also serve as an event space for corporate and private events, Town Halls, social gatherings, holiday events and more.
Originally built as a movie palace in 1928, the space evolved with the times to host jazz, R&B and rock ‘n roll. It turned into a basketball arena for Long Island University in 1962. Long Island University and Live Nation are now partners at Brooklyn Paramount and Live Nation’s Venue Nation will be operating Brooklyn Paramount.
