Development Watch: Pratt Starts on New Myrtle Project
Almost a year after first announcing the details, Pratt took an initial step towards building its new 120,000-square-foot academic building at 524 Myrtle Avenue on the site where Kentucky Fried Chicken once stood. As we reported last September, the new 7-story structure will not only create space for the Digital Arts program, grad student studios and administrative offices but also will provide 15,000 square feet of retail along Myrtle Avenue. As of now, they only have clearance for the plywood fence that went up in recent days, as the new building application has yet to get DOB's seal of approval.
