Overview
- A November 7 permit lists site utilities and foundation work for a 150,000-square-foot building at 1001 Epic Blvd, with Baker Barrios Architects Inc. as the applicant.
- Coverage maps the permitted footprint to an empty plot behind the Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Ministry of Magic facades.
- Observers report construction markers, ground flags, and the rumble of early utility work consistent with initial site preparation.
- The planned square footage is comparable to existing headline show buildings at the park, indicating capacity for a major guest-facing structure.
- Universal has issued no announcement, and the permit does not specify a ride or franchise despite active media and fan speculation.
