After closing more than four decades ago, the Loew’s Pitkin Theatre is about to get a new lease on life. The historic Brownsville property is being transformed by Poko Partners, LLC into a K-8 charter school that will be managed by Ascend Learning; the ground floor will be activated as retail space. According to the developer, the renovation will be “historically sensitive and eco-friendly.” The groundbreaking is set to take place next Tuesday. GMAP
