Bethlehem's historic Boyd Theater, shuttered for years, has certainly seen better days. Paint that had been covering the windows to the entrance has worn off, offering passers-by a glimpse inside of the decay since a windstorm damaged the roof in 2011, closing the theater for good. Water damage from the leaking roof also shut down several storefronts at the property in 2015, and in 2019 the property was designated blighted by the Bethlehem Planning Commission. A partnership that acquired the property earlier this year has plans to replace it with a luxury apartment complex. DLP Real Estate Capital and developer Monocacy General Contracting announced their vision for a 14-story building that would also include a pool, fitness center and private movie theater for residents. The partnership said in February that it had hoped for the project to be completed by the third quarter of 2022.
