SUNNYVALE, CA—Three words, walkable mixed use, seem to be in the lexicon of most real estate developers these days. With that theme in mind, CityLine Sunnyvale has signed a lease with AMC Theaters for a multi-screen theater. The theater will occupy the same building as a previously announced Whole Foods Market, with both businesses serving to anchor Sunnyvale's downtown district as a pedestrian-friendly mixed-use neighborhood.
The new theater is planned as a 12-screen multiplex with Dolby Cinema and IMAX upgrades to two screens, and will include reserved seating and a full-service bar. The bar area will feature dedicated seating and a balcony overlooking the redesigned Redwood Square.
A new two-story building on the corner of Murphy and McKinley Avenues will house the 52,000-square-foot AMC Theaters on the second floor, with the 52,000-square-foot Whole Foods Market on the street level. CityLine Sunnyvale will extend Murphy Avenue as an area with new residences, shopping, entertainment options and office space planned across 36 acres.
