C I N E M A & T H E AT E R .Construction Management
Now more than ever, Landlord’s rely
upon cinemas to anchor the critical food
and entertainment experience in virtually
all new and redeveloped shopping
centers. Today’s cinema concepts have
evolved drastically resulting from new
projection technologies as well as the expanding entertainment offerings
cinema operators are bringing to the movie house concept. Chef driven
restaurants, sports bars, bowling alleys
and night clubs now anchor the core
program of theater operations and also
make these buildings increasingly more
complex to design, build/deliver on time.
With over 250 screens worth of build-
to-suit experience, the Skye Group
construction team understands and anticipates the issues, complexities
and high level of coordination required to deliver cinema buildings
on time. Our team expertly manages the
interface between both Landlord and cinema
architectural and construction teams and
manages the timely coordination, delivery
and installation of the specialized FF&E
packages including kitchen equipment,
seats, screens and projection equipment.
