We finally managed to wander past the Metropolitan Cinema and Condos at 136 Metropolitan Avenue between Berry & Wythe this weekend and got some nice shots of the new facade. The building was designed by Caliper Studio and that’s a zinc exterior with glass discs that will be illuminated from behind at night by LED lights. The ground floor remnants of the original building will house the 168-seat indie Casandra Cinema. It’s supposed to open in Spring ’09 and they’re looking like they are on schedule.
