Koury hires contractor for $8.1-million theater by mall
A planned movie theater near Four Seasons Town Centre will cost more than $8.1 million to build and comprise nearly 78,600 square feet, according to city building permits.
The permits show that Greensboro's Koury Corp. has hired Baton Rouge, La.-based Mapp Construction to build the theater, part of a new retail development planned on Vanstory Street near the mall Koury built and then sold a few years ago.
As previously reported by the News & Record, a traffic study for the project filed with the city shows 82,550 square feet of retail, two 7,000-square-foot restaurants and a 3,418-seat theater - about the size of the Grande at Friendly Shopping Center.
Koury has not yet announced details of the Vanstory project, including what theater might located there. Mapp's clients include Southern Theatres, a chain with locations throughout the region, including the Grand 18 in Winston-Salem.
