Funtropolis, Jacksonville, Florida

White Hutchinson is working on the development of a concept we are calling a "family lifestyle center" in Jacksonville, Florida. The 75,000 square foot, 11-acre facility, named Funtropolis, will feature:

A 500-seat all-you-can-eat pizza, pasta and salad buffet restaurant
An indoor and outdoor family entertainment center (FEC)
A children's edutainment center including a café bistro, indoor edutainment, enrichment workshops, an adventure play garden and a water playground
A celebration area with multi-purpose rooms, birthday party rooms and a group pavilion.

Earlier in 2003, WHLLG assisted the client with an area wide analysis of the Jacksonville metropolitan market; determined the market sweet spot for the project; evaluated potential sites; conducted detailed market analysis, attendance and pro forma financial projections and developed preliminary plans and cost estimates. WHLLG is currently assisting the client with acquiring the required financing.
