EMERSON, GA. — AVATRON USA Development LLC has selected Lee & Associates Atlanta to lease AVATRON Park, a 712-acre development housing a theme park and an adjacent hospitality and retail complex in Emerson, roughly 40 miles north of Atlanta. Slated for completion in early 2019, AVATRON Park will feature a theme park, 300,000-square-foot lifestyle shopping center, dining area, two hotels totaling 500 rooms and a 10,000-seat outdoor amphitheater. According to Joe Simpson of Lee & Associates Atlanta, the firm is primarily focused on hospitality and multifamily projects at the development and will work with New York–based Newmark Grubb Knight Frank on the retail projects. Attractions in development for the theme park will include newly created intellectual property along with gaming and movie industry intellectual property, most notably The Hunger Games franchise. In early November, movie studio Lionsgate announced its licensing, for the first time in North America, of the Hunger Games, Step Up and Now You See Me franchises as part of its partnership agreement with AVATRON.
