Pinewood Forest Announces Luxury Movie Theater Development

FAYETTEVILLE, GA -- Pinewood Forest, a 235-acre master planned residential and mixed-use development adjacent to Pinewood Atlanta Studios, has announced the development of its luxury cinema expected to break ground mid-2019. The development, a partnership between real estate firm Pace Lynch Corporation, Spotlight Theatres, and Alerion Services, is projected to open in 2020.

“Pinewood Forest is thrilled to reveal plans for the boutique theater,” said Rob Parker, President of Pinewood Forest. “The state of the art facility will complement our vision for Pinewood Forest to become a premier entertainment, culinary and wellness destination in the Southeast. Pace Lynch and Spotlight are the perfect partners for this project, delivering upon our vision of a town for creating unlike any other.”

Anticipated to bring more than 240,000 visitors to Pinewood Forest each year, the multi-faceted theater will host blockbuster films, such as those produced at the adjacent Pinewood Atlanta Studios, as well as a variety of other film and video content, live performances, broadcasted sports and entertainment events, corporate events and more.

“Georgia is a world leader in feature film production and Pinewood Forest is the perfect place to experience that artistry,” added Parker.

“We’re proud to bring an exceptional boutique movie-going experience to Pinewood Forest,” added Bill Lynch, Project Director for Pinewood Forest and principal of Pace Lynch. “The theater will add another dimension to our walkable community and South Metro Atlanta – a unique place where residents and visitors alike can get a workout in or take a swim at the wellness center, meet a friend for coffee, enjoy a world-class meal, and see a movie or attend an event, without ever needing a car.”

“Our team is excited to help bring a luxury movie theater concept to Pinewood Forest and the Fayette County community,” said Joseph Paletta III, President and CEO of Spotlight Theatres, Inc. “We are confident that this entertainment venue will far surpass expectations in terms of technology and service.”

The architect team, BoggsVickers and THW Design, plans to build a cinema featuring 8 auditoriums with 800 VIP lounge chair seats, as well as restaurant and bar amenities. The theater will be the first state of the art cinema facility of its kind in south metro Atlanta.
