Permits Reveal $20.6 Million, Two-Story Event Venue Planned at Universal Epic Universe

County records mark the first concrete step in post‑opening growth at the new park.

Overview

  • Orange County filings list Project P915 at 1001 Epic Blvd. as a 53,886‑square‑foot, two‑story event space valued at $20.6 million.
  • Permit plans show roughly 19,000 square feet of first‑floor event space with a stage option, about 9,600 square feet for seating, and an estimated 1,200–1,400 person capacity.
  • Site plans depict a distinctive hexagon canopy that may include LED lighting consistent with the design language seen in Celestial Park.
  • Mapping tools and recent aerial photos indicate about 20,000 square feet of land clearing in Celestial Park that aligns with the filing, though Universal has not announced the exact site.
  • Sub‑permits for electrical, plumbing, mechanical, fire safety, and roofing point to a permanent build, and coverage links the project to Universal’s stated greenfield expansion approach.
