A New York City appeals board has given the green light for a new sign to replace the former Watchtower sign on the Brooklyn waterfront.

The Department of Buildings had earlier advised the new owners of the former Jehovah’s Witness office buildings, now called Panorama, that the sign was never approved and had to come down for good.

The Watchtower sign, which had been visible to commuters on the Brooklyn Bridge for 49 years, was removed by the Jehovah’s Witnesses in December 2017. A time and temperature sign remains in place.

In an appeal to the Board of Standards & Appeals, evidence dug up by their Fried Frank attorneys showed that over the years, the Department Of Buildings had made numerous prior approvals and recommendations for work done to the sign which sat atop the 12-story building at 30 Columbia Heights.

The Jehovah’s Witnesses replaced an earlier sign for ER Squibb & Sons when they bought the building in 1969.

In 2016, Columbia Heights Associates paid $340 million for the multi-building block bounded by Columbia, Furman, Vine and Doughty Streets. At the time, Jared Kushner was leading the venture but the company sold his 2.5 percent stake back to the development partnership in June 2018 after President Trump was elected.

“We are appreciative that the BSA confirmed the lawful status of the signage rights at Panorama,” developers CIM and LIVWRK Holdings said in a statement. “The signage atop this marquee property has been a recognizable feature of the Brooklyn skyline for generations, and this decision affirms that the sign will continue its tradition as a part of the Brooklyn waterfront’s rich history and renewed vibrancy.”

Added Asher Abeshsera of LIVWRK Holdings, “For decades this sign served as an illuminated beacon on the New York City skyline and we are excited to continue our work to attract a global leader to prominently plant their flag and serve as a major cultural economic accelerator to the area.”

The venture is leasing the buildings themselves with rents for the 635,000 square feet of office space in the $70s per foot. A tenant has yet to be announced but a major anchor would get to brand the building with its name in 15-foot tall LEDS.

In the meantime, the developers will light the skyline with a placeholder such as Dumbo or I (Heart) Brooklyn.
