Last summer we let you know that Realty Income Corporation plans to sell its 17-acre property at 20000 Century Blvd in Germantown, which is currently home to the Regal Germantown movie theater. An employee at the theater has confirmed that Regal will permanently close its Germantown location on Sunday, December 1. The Rockville and Silver Spring locations continue to operate normally.

The theater opened 22.5 years ago, in May 2002, as part of Hoyts Cinema. Less than a year later, in March 2003, Regal acquired a total of 52 Hoyts theaters, representing 554 screens, in exchange for approximately $100 million in cash, 4.8 million shares of Regal Entertainment Group Class A Common Stock and the assumption of certain capital lease agreements. This included the Germantown, MD location, which has since operated under Regal

According to the listing: “Located on Century Boulevard, just off Germantown Road and Route I-270, the site spans a total area of ​​7.01 hectares (305,355 square feet), divided into two parcels. The property contains a two-storey cinema complex of 58,782 square meters. The building, built in 2002, is currently leased to Regal Cinemas through September 30, 2024 and will be transferred on a month-to-month basis thereafter. The structure’s footprint covers approximately 20% of the property, with the remainder consisting of a surface parking lot with a total of 587 spaces.
