As a result of theater closures during the pandemic, ArcLight Cinemas announced it would not reopen within its space at the legendary Sherman Oaks Galleria in April 2021. The JLL team of Shauna Mattis, Scott Burns and Greg Briest were tasked by the landlord, Douglas Emmett, with finding a new tenant to fill the space as soon as possible so that it could continue attracting consumers to its center. Upon the notice to vacate, the JLL team immediately began marketing the space to potential tenants locally, regionally and nationally.
While the perception during the pandemic was that the theater business was dead, the team secured interest from nearly every major theater operator and numerous retailers from across the country within the first few weeks of marketing the space. In June 2021, JLL secured a lease with Regal for the 87,046 square foot space, resulting in less than two months of down time for the landlord. Regal plans to spend approximately $10 million to upgrade the location and offer premier features including Screen X, 4DX, IMAX + RPX along with eight upgraded auditoriums with Regal King Size recliners, reserved seating, an enhanced menu and a lounge.
