16-Story, 269-Unit Mixed-Use Redevelopment Planned at RKO Keith’s Theatre, 135-35 Northern Boulevard, Flushing

Beijing-based Xinyuan Real Estate has acquired the dilapidating RKO Keith’s Theatre, of which the interior is an individual landmark, at 135-35 Northern Boulevard, in downtown Flushing, for $66 million.
