October 28, 2005, New York - Toy Industry Association's (TIA) Board of Directors has decided to reopen its search for a building to be its new home. The decision was based on an extensive, continuing review of the toy industry's needs. The TIA board concluded that 100 Church Street, whose selection had been tentatively announced, will not satisfy those needs.

The TIA Board has committed to resolve the issue of finding a new home for the toy industry and a location for the 2006 American International Fall Toy Show by December 15th, 2005.
