GlobeSt.com EXCLUSIVE: San Jose Theater Projects Hit Roadblocks

SAN JOSE, CA-The success of cinemas in downtown San Jose has been a significant part of the downtown retail and entertainment strategy, but two cinema projects are battling development delays.

SAN JOSE, CA-One downtown San Jose theater project is delayed due to lease negotiations while another hits a roadblock as it awaits word on a $2-million loan and the outcome of the governor’s proposed cut of redevelopment agencies’ budgets.

Forest City Enterprises Inc. is still locked in talks with CineLux Theatres, which is now planning a springtime opening of an eight-screen cineplex shuttered in January 2000 by United Artists before it filed bankruptcy. A representative for Campbell Plaza Theatres, CineLux’s parent, tells GlobeSt.com that the project is on track, but minor problems in negotiating the lease with Forest City has delayed the ribbon-cutting. The chain had planned to reopen the former United Artists building by the end of 2002.

The property is located between First and Second streets along Paseo de San Antonio. The theater is an integral part of the Pavilion, a mixed-use development under the control of Cleveland-based Forest City and the San Jose Redevelopment Agency. The Pavilion consists of 196,000 sf of office space, 55,000 sf of retail and a 293-space underground parking facility. A city representative confirms the Pavilion pact requires the 70,000-sf theater site to be used for movies until 2006.
