"The Cultural Center will have up to 250,000 square feet of space on Fulton and Greenwich streets, across from the planned Performing Arts Center, which is to house the Joyce International Dance Center and the Signature Theatre.

The design for the Cultural Center is slated to be completed by the end of the year, with groundbreaking in 2007 and completion in 2009."
