Crain's has the story on the first tenant for Essex Crossing:
The theater chain, owned by Regal Entertainment Group, will take 65,000 square feet in the base of a 315-foot-tall rental apartment building to be built at 115 Delancey St., on the southeast corner of Essex Street. Construction is expected to begin in the spring and be completed by late 2017 or 2018.
The lease, which stretches for 15 years, is the first signed for the 1.9 million-square-foot development known as the Seward Park mixed-use development project.
The multiplex will stand at the corner that long housed the Olympic Restaurant and Jade Fountain liquor store.
