As BroadwayWorld previously reported, plans to renovate the historic Bellevue Theatre fell through, and the venue's owner is now considering a residential and retail project with a theater on the ground level.

There were originally plans in place to renovate the venue into six theaters, a restaurant, and a bar, but owner Jesse Sayegh terminated Bellevue Enterprises/Highgate Hall LLC's lease due to "breach of contract" earlier this year.
