Orange County Permit Signals 150,000-Square-Foot Project Tied to Epic Universe

Executives have signaled future growth, citing expansion pads and attractions already in development.

Overview

  • A permit filed Friday lists site utilities and foundation work for a 150,000-square-foot build at 1001 Epic Blvd., the official address for Epic Universe.
  • The application was submitted by Baker Barrios architect Bryce Ramsay, and the firm declined comment due to a nondisclosure agreement with Universal.
  • County records and local reporting do not clarify whether the project sits inside the park or on nearby Universal Boulevard property.
  • The filing follows an August request to mass-grade nearly 54 acres on Universal Boulevard that company officials characterized as maintenance activity.
  • Comcast reported an 18.7% jump in third-quarter theme park revenue, with Epic Universe’s strong start cited as a driver of performance.
