The city issued a building permit Oct. 9 for the 14-screen Cinemark theater in the Atlantic North shopping center at northwest Kernan and Atlantic boulevards in East Arlington.
J. Raymond Construction Corp. is the contractor for the $8.74 million project, according to WJCT News partner the Jacksonville Daily Record.
Cinemark requested the permit in November, four months before governments closed down the economy because of the coronavirus pandemic. Restrictions have been lifted in phases.
Cinemark closed its theaters March 18 and reopened them with safety protocols in August.
The 55,380-square-foot Cinemark Atlantic North XD 14 is planned on 10.27 acres at 11567 Atlantic Blvd.
Sleiman Enterprises owns the land through Atlantic North LLC.
