Mayor Madeline Rogero, left center, and Regal Entertainment Group CEO Amy Miles, right center, share a laugh on Thursday, July 21, while signing final documents for Regal's headquarters relocation to the South Waterfront.
What was announced last fall is now official: Regal Entertainment Group will be moving its corporate headquarters and at least 345 employees to an anchor location on the South Waterfront, on the former Baptist Hospital site next to the Gay Street Bridge.
Next up: The nine-story, 178,000-square-foot building at Gay Street and Blount Avenue – vacant since 2008 – will undergo an approximate $12 million transformation into a world-class corporate headquarters for the nation’s largest theater circuit.
“It’s exciting that Regal soon will begin its renovations and that, by the end of 2017, we’ll be welcoming a major employer to our downtown,” said Christi Branscom, Deputy to the Mayor and the City’s Chief Operating Officer. “This is a milestone for redevelopment of the South Waterfront as well as for Regal.”
