On MONDAY, DECEMBER 15th
Orlando’s City Council will have a crucial vote on the Plaza.
On the agenda is the Community Redevelopment Agency’s presentation to complete the first Downtown Orlando Movie Theater!
We are introducing a one-of-a-kind, entertainment concept within the Orlando/CentralFlorida Region…and a new destination for Downtown!
Please come and show your support!
2:00 MONDAY, DECEMBER 15th
Council Chambers on the 2nd floor of City Hall, 400 South Orange Avenue
The new Plaza Owner is committed to making this project a success, but needs your help to show City Council that a Downtown Movie Theater is good for business.
Projections for the Plaza Theater are that it will attract approximately 600,000 people to Downtown Orlando each year. The indirect spending and jobs which flow from these visitors is significant…over $12 million annually by one conservative estimate. This could result in the infusion of millions of dollars to other businesses in downtown Orlando and the surrounding community.
For more information, on this unique theater, please download the attachments below.
The Plaza Theater will help to further define the downtown area and connect people to the heart of this up and coming city. Please show your support.
2:00 MONDAY, DECEMBER 15th
Council Chambers on the 2nd floor of City Hall, 400 South Orange Avenue
We look forward to seeing you there.

New Condo Developments by
admin on August 14, 2008
According to local reports, there were some well known structural problems that are coming into play with the completion of the Paramount on Lake Eola.
The developer of the 16 Story, 300+ unit condo complex located just south of Lake Eola stated that it spent more than $16 million to add extra bracing to the building. The general contractor noticed cracks on concrete columns caused by insufficient rebar within the beams. The building received a certificate of occupancy after government inspection earlier this year.

In the past few months (almost years it seems) we have seen the likes of the proposed Plaza 12-screen movie theater follow the ups and downs of the overall real estate market. It was ready to go, then it wasn’t, then it was, and again…it wasn’t. Well I am here to report that it looks like there is life once again…maybe. LOL
That is if the $2.5 million and $3.5 million incentive package from the City of Orlando holds up. This is a loan that the city would provide and would be paid back with theater profits. Anyhow, I’m tired of writing so I’ll just link you to the article on the Orl Sentinel…Thanks.
