Brooklyn, NY Capitol Fire Sprinkler has completed a multifaceted fire protection program at the Alamo Drafthouse at 445 Albee Sq. West.

“Alamo Drafthouse is a popular entertainment complex that now has 12 active theaters in a much larger space,” said Adam Levine, president, Capitol Fire Sprinkler. “We are proud to have delivered the exceptional safety measures and design details required by our client.”

The primary work on the expanded footprint was completed in 2024, with minor system adjustments expected to be finished by March 2025. The general contractor on the project was Plaza Construction. The installation was performed by Capitol Fire Sprinkler’s in-house team.
