According to online reports, a large five-alarm New York building fire which slightly injured six firefighters and one civilian has damaged
the SoHo headquarters of Take-Two Games subsidiaries 2K Games and Global Star Software.
The fire started late Saturday night (1/21/2006) in the building, 575 Broadway, which also “houses retail stores American Eagle Outfitters and Prada, as well as numerous offices for businesses, such as Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, the Guggenheim Museum and Antiques Magazine”, according to a CBS report.
The extent of damage to the building, which is a separate office from Take-Two and Rockstar’s New York headquarters, is as yet unknown, but comments on the weblog of 2K Games PR Manager Jason Bergman indicate that one side of the building may have been more seriously affected than the other.
Take-Two’s third-floor offices were directly in the path of the fire, which “got up into some duct work on the first floor and traveled up to the fourth floor”, according to comments made to ABC News by the FDNY Chief of Operations. No further official information was immediately available as of press time.
A side note: I used to work there.
