Brooklyn Mirage reportedly files to demolish 32,000 sq. ft. of its venue what we know

After months of uncertainty surrounding permits and a canceled 2025 season, the owners of Brooklyn Mirage and Avant Gardner have filed for a demolition permit covering 32,000 square feet of temporary structures at the East Williamsburg complex, according to city records first reported by The Real Deal.

The Filing at a Glance

• Scope: The application seeks a “full demolition” of roughly 32,000 sq. ft. within the broader Avant Gardner property (approximately 80,000 sq. ft. total).

• Status: The filing was recorded with NYC’s Department of Buildings (DOB) on October 10, 2025.

• Context: Avant Gardner entered Chapter 11 bankruptcy in August, and a hearing for the sale’s approval is scheduled for October 22.

What’s Next for the Venue and Fans

In the near term, Brooklyn Mirage remains closed, and events will likely stay suspended while demolition and court proceedings continue. The outcome of the October 22 hearing will determine whether the site can be restructured, sold, or repurposed.
