The former Roseland Ballroom site will soon be reaching for the stars — and this time it’s not rock stars.
In March, Larry Ginsberg’s Algin Management closed out the legendary Midtown venue with an appearance by Lady Gaga.
The low-rise industrial building at 239 W. 52nd St. goes through the block to 242 W. 53rd St. and also is opposite the David Letterman Theater.
We’ve learned Cetra/Ruddy will be the architect for a new 50-plus-story building of roughly 450,000 square feet, with retail at its base.
In 1999, the rock palace’s owners were going to close it down and develop a 42-story building designed by Shuman Lichtenstein & Claman, but they canceled the plan and kept producing the lucrative music events.
To create the new tower, Algin has also proposed buying 58,214 transferable rights from the Majestic at 245 W. 44th St. and another 4,015 feet from the Broadhurst Theater at 235 W. 44th St.
