The project of the New York City Theatre stems
from the intent to promote the independent play
and recover the pioneer spirit that distinguished Broadway at the
beginning. The proposal is for a mixed-use building that, in addition to
the main function of theater, welcome inside offices and residences. Underlying this choice there is an economic reason. Given the high price of land in Manhattan, is
convenient, in order to maximize the potential value of the plot, thicken a
greater number of functions within a single building. Part of the proceeds, due to the sale or rental of the
real estate units will also have the basic task of funding the theatrical
activity as long as the entire structure will not become economically
independent and therefore able to provide a genuinely free and really unconditional cultural
activity.
