Movin' on up! Bob Weinstein (far right) stands guard as brother Harvey gets the keys to 345 Hudson St.

Well, it is about time: The Weinstein brothers--whose Miramax offices almost outnumber McDonald's franchises around lower Manhattan--appear to be consolidating their operation as they break free from Disney.

Today's Variety reports that the forever "temporarily named" Weinstein Company will occupy 27,000 square feet of space at 345 Hudson St. That should be just close enough to hear Harvey yelling from his own office in the Tribeca Film Center, thus keeping the fledgling business' phone expenses to a minimum and ensuring a healthy start for the next generation of Weinstein blockbusters.

And of course, with the new office less than two blocks from indieWIRE HQ, only time will tell all the fun shouting-scoops the guys on the mother ship will be privy to. I just hope somebody passes along word about the housewarming party--I have a fabulous chili dip recipe I have been waiting to try out.
