"POKO Partners’ excitement for the Pitkin Theater Center Project was based on the fact that the conceptual blueprint met many of POKO’s core criteria for undertaking a development – it offered a way to enhance the community, aid in its revitalization, and provide a growth engine for jobs. Furthermore, the restoration of an iconic historic structure like the Loew’s Pitkin Theater served as a perfect example of adaptive reuse."— Kenneth Olson, President of POKO Partners LLC
The Pitkin Theater Center Project was awarded a 2013 Building Brooklyn Award by the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce in the category of Historic Preservation and Community Development.
