Overview
- A November 7 permit lists site utilities and foundation work for new construction at Epic Universe, identified as a 150,000-square-foot building.
- The permit names Baker Barrios Architects Inc. as the applicant for the project.
- Universal has not commented on the filing, and reporters caution the permit does not confirm a new portal or E‑ticket attraction.
- Given the footprint, analysts say the project likely exceeds routine back-of-house needs and could be guest-facing, though specifics remain unverified.
- Epic Universe has drawn heavy crowds since its May 2025 opening, and observers have flagged internal expansion pads, including a site between Super Nintendo World and Dark Universe, as candidates for future development.
