"Full demolition of the Brooklyn Mirage has been approved and is set to start early next month as a battle over its future continues in bankruptcy court. City records show that the Department of Buildings has signed off on a plan to completely dismantle the ill-fated venue, which never reopened due to safety issues after a massive renovation last year. According to a notice circulated by Brooklyn Community Board 1, work is expected to start on February 2 and wrap up in April or May."
"But the next steps for the Mirage are unclear. Avant Gardner, its parent company, filed for bankruptcy last fall, citing massive financial issues caused by its failure to open the Mirage for the 2025 season. The company had spent months and millions of dollars building a "New Mirage," which DOB inspectors never cleared for occupancy after uncovering serious structural and safety issues."

The venue never reopened after a major renovation when inspectors uncovered serious structural and safety issues that prevented occupancy. Avant Gardner filed for bankruptcy last fall after failing to open the Mirage for the 2025 season and citing severe financial losses. The company spent months and millions on a reworked 'New Mirage.' Bankruptcy plans and a potential sale involving nightlife brand Pacha have been complicated by creditors withdrawing support and alleging secret dealmaking by a major lender.
