70 Pine is opening back up two spaces the public couldn’t visit for decades – the Art Deco lobby, which will become a retail shopping area, and the former observation deck, now slated to become a restaurant. In an era where interior landmarks are increasingly becoming closed to the public, and most former observation decks are condos or private offices, this pride in reopening access to the public is a welcome shift.
