Albemarle Place to host IMAX theater, 13 additional screens

The 65-acre mixed-use project may not be picture perfect quite yet. But, come 2012, the project will offer nearly perfect pictures.

The 65-acre Albemarle Place development, a mixed-use project with a price tag of roughly $115 million or so, may not be picture perfect quite yet. (After all, the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors approved zoning and proffer amendments for the development on August 4, including the widening of Route 29.) But, come 2012, the project (overseen by developers Edens & Avant) will offer nearly perfect pictures.

A press release from Regal Cinemas announced plans for a 14-screen movie theater, complete with an IMAX screen, at the site, located at the intersection of Seminole Trail and Hydraulic Road. In May 2009, Regal announced plans to expand the existing Cinema 4 theater. Remember the Seminole Trail Stadium 9? You could probably fit the previous movie theater design inside the latest one. See a floorplan below.
