"Avant Gardner LLC, the bankrupt owner of the Brooklyn club complex of the same name, has applied for a permit to demolish the Mirage venue, Brooklyn Paper reports. Having failed to secure reopening permits due to safety and technical issues, Avant Gardner filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in August and handed its assets to a lender. The demolition permit filing does not name the Mirage but seeks to demolish 32,000 square feet of a three-story temporary structure, which describes the Mirage build within Avant Gardner, Brooklyn Paper reports."
"The complex's other venues, Great Hall and Kings Hall, remain operational for now."
"The Mirage opened as a pop-up venue in 2015 and quickly became an East Williamsburgh nightlife destination. A much-touted renovation led to a scramble to quickly reopen the venue, but New York's Department of Buildings deemed the venue structurally unsound and a fire hazard."
