While we wait for new financing to fall into place, Uptown's namesake theater is seeing heavy use over the past few days, with filming support trucks lining Broadway and Lawrence all the way to Malden.
As our readers will recall, lead financer Farpoint left the project in early 2021, and JAM has been wooing investors to replace Farpoint's contribution to the renovation fund. The plan remains to ultimately revive and restore the beautiful theater.
While Farpoint's departure was a significant setback, we are hearing that, with the city contribution and tax credits remaining in place, the Uptown remains an attractive project for people with the funds to invest. We are hoping to have good news to report soon, and in the interim, anyone have Mackenzie Scott's phone number...? ;)
