University Mall Transformation Continues w/ Silverspot Cinema to Open in 2015

University Mall, a 366,000 sqft regional shopping center located a short drive up 15-501 from Briar Chapel in Chapel Hill, is in the process of redevelopment and residents are taking notice. Anchored by award-winning gourmet retailer Southern Season, the mall is home to forty unique shops and restaurants.

In addition to several new tenants, including TrySports, Fine Feathers and Peacock Alley, mall officials just announced that Silverspot Cinema will be opening a 52,500 sqft premium movie theater complex in the current Dillard's location in early-2015.


Silverspot Cinema will debut independent and foreign films, as well as blockbusters and 3D films. Additionally, they will offer alternative content such as live broadcasts of international opera, ballet and theater performances, which will differentiate the theater from the traditional multiplex movie offerings in the area.

Silverspot will offer a stylish design and atmosphere complete with casual dining and a lounge area. The theaters will be equipped with state-of-the-art sound and projection technology, reserved stadium seating, and extra-large hand-stitched leather seats custom-made for Silverspot. Be sure to check out their website for photos and sample of offerings.
