The existing Village Cinemas in Melbourne’s inner suburb of South Yarra, will be rebuilt as part of amended plans to redevelop the Jam Factory shopping centre complex.
According to The Australian
Village chief executive Clark Kirby and executive chairman Robert Kirby added Village Roadshow, now controlled by private equity firm BGH Capital, was “excited beyond imagination” to partner with Gurner to recreate what it called “the best cinemas in the world” in the Jam Factory development.
“The new Village Cinemas will now be on the ground floor and integrate beautifully into the Gurner vision of a central piazza, exciting eclectic retail and five-star hotel.
“The intricate design flexibility of these cinemas — which will include a new super luxury gold class offering — will be the first choice for premium functions, events and especially Hollywood and Australian film premieres,” he said.
