(KUTV) — Construction on the Larry H. Miller Megaplex Theatres in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah at The Gateway are scheduled to begin immediately.
The luxury renovation is a joint venture between Larry H. Miller Group of Companies and Vestar, owners of The Gateway, to upgrade the movie theater by offering "an experience that is unmatched by at home-streaming," a news release states.
“The project has been on the drawing board for some time, and we’re looking forward to offering our downtown Salt Lake guests an enhanced luxury experience,” Blake Andersen, Megaplex Theatres president, stated in a news release.
Our plan is to have the new Megaplex Luxury Theatres at The Gateway fully operational in time for the biggest Hollywood releases coming in the early summer.
The new Megaplex Luxury Theatres complex will feature heated luxury recliners, in-seat dining, premium snack and beverage service, elegant décor, private meeting and event space, state-of-the-art technology and much more.
"As an anchor tenant and valued partner, we are excited to see Megaplex Theatres deliver the latest trend in the movie-going experience to The Gateway,” Jenny Cushing, VP of Leasing for Vestar, stated in a news release. “As a downtown destination for premier art and entertainment offerings, it’s expected that we remain on the cutting edge."
"We feel that consumers have become accustomed to streaming in their living rooms as a result of COVID, but will be enticed by a more elevated theater experience that cannot be replicated at home. The meeting space component is a thoughtful, exciting addition given the number of businesses in and around The Gateway and our proximity to the Salt Palace, the city’s convention center," Cushing said.
The new Megaplex Luxury Theatres at The Gateway will occupy the same general area as the original Megaplex location that dates back to 2001.
