New building permits have been filed to demolish 2065 Kittredge Street and 2070 Allston Way. Demolition will also be required for the Shattuck Landmark Theater, attached to the Hotel Shattuck Plaza. The movie theater permanently closed on the first of June this year. In a message on the company website, the Cohen Media Group published the following statement:
After 28 years serving San Francisco’s East Bay community at the Shattuck Cinemas, Landmark Theatres has closed its doors. Our landlord is moving forward with a redevelopment of the property.
Landmark Theaters is a national chain owned by the Cohen Media Group. With the closure of the Berkeley location and a location in the Embarcadero, the group is left with four theaters in the Bay Area and 35 theaters across the country.
