The project is “designed to create sustained, high-volume activity across the district” and to add a new focal point to the area, the news release said.

The development comes at a time of revitalization in downtown Clearwater through historic restoration and redevelopment projects along Cleveland Street, the alliance said.

At the center of the project is a seven-screen multiplex anchored by the largest cinema screen in the world, spanning more than 130 feet wide, the release said.

The multiplex will also be the first in the world to feature both Dolby Vision projection and Dolby Atmos sound in every auditorium.

In addition to the cinema, the site will also include bowling, arcade gaming, laser tag, dining and interactive attractions.

“We are thrilled to bring EVO Entertainment to Clearwater and be part of this once-in-a-lifetime transformation taking shape in downtown Clearwater,” Mitch Roberts, founder and CEO of Elevate Entertainment Group, said. “From a cinema worthy of the global stage to a world-class family entertainment center, EVO Entertainment Clearwater will set a new standard for out-of-home entertainment — serving as a social destination for millions of guests across the region.”
