Greenberger said Pearl is not ready to disclose possible tenants. He praised the developers for "a smart arrangement of pieces" consistent with zoning code.
"There are a couple of surprises that people will find really enjoyable," Greenberger said. "Some nice touches that will add to the strength of the whole proposal."

Pearl will reuse the entire Boyd lobby space, which extends some 150 feet back, with a single-use tenant. Howard Haas, president of the Friends of the Boyd, lamented the loss of the auditorium but voiced optimism.
"The Friends of the Boyd are very excited by the possibility that the beautiful art-deco interiors will be restored so that the public can enjoy those spaces," Haas said.
