will bring the neighborhood the
latest in cutting-edge cinema experiences
next year.
A 1.2-million-square-foot, mixed-use
development called Tangram — located
at 133-15 39th Ave. between College
Point Boulevard and Prince Street —
includes plans for a 34,000-square-foot
movie theater by CGV Cinemas. Th e
project will be delivered in multiple stages
and the fi rst stage, which includes the
multiplex, is expected to be completed in
late 2018.
CJ CGV — a South Korea multiplex
cinema chain with 412 locations worldwide
— has leased the space, which will
feature seven total screens. Th e multiplex
will bring “the best in Hollywood
and Asian fi lms together,” according to a
press release.
Th e Flushing space will also feature the
fi rst “ScreenX” auditorium in New York
City. Th e special auditorium enhances
the viewer’s experience by extending the
screen visuals to the left and right for a
270-degree panoramic view.
It will also be home to the fi rst “4DX”
theater location in Queens,
which allows the audience to
connect with fi lms through
motion vibration and environmental
eff ects.
“When we discovered the
opportunity to be an integral
part of Tangram, we knew
being in this economically
vibrant and evolving neighborhood
was where our fi rst East
Coast movie theater had to be,”
said Paul Richardson, COO
of CJ CGV. “Tangram off ers
all the essentials of fi rst-class
entertainment that will now
include CJ CGV’s next generation
of storytelling. We’re
excited to be a part of this forward-thinking,
robust destination.”
Billed as the “new epicenter of downtown
Flushing,” the Tangram development
is slated to feature 317 residences,
275,000 gross square feet of retail, themed
restaurants, a food hall, beer garden,
entertainment options and offi ce space.
Th e site is being co-developed by F&T
Group and SCG America. New Yorkbased
Margulies Hoelzli Architecture
designed the entire project and BHDM
is charged with designing retail interiors.
“Tangram is an amazing testament to
the quality of our product and to the
evolution of the neighborhood,” F&T
Group Executive Vice President Helen
Lee said. “Th e benefi ts and convenience
of this urban-style living will attract people
who want to be a part of the future of
Flushing.”
Th e site of the new Tangram development
was formerly home to Flushing
Mall until it was demolished in 2015. Th e
neighborhood’s last movie theater was the
historic RKO Keith’s at 135-35 Northern
Blvd., which closed over three decades
ago. Th e space was recently purchased by
a real estate developer for $66 million and
will be turned into luxury condominiums.
