DeutschEntertainment Centrum
Entertainment Centrum is a type of entertainment complex in Canada developed by PenEquity. There are four Entertainment Centrums: the Oakville, Mississauga, Whitby, and Ottawa (Kanata) Entertainment Centrums. These plazas have movie theatres, fitness centres, and restaurants, among other attractions. Patrons park in a parking lot outside the Centrum, and walk into an outdoor open area. All four Centrums are anchored by Cineplex Cinemas or Landmark Cinemas multiplex cinema.
On June 27, 2013 Empire Theatres announced that it planned to sell the theatres at the two Centrums in Whitby and Kanata to Cineplex Entertainment, which would have rebranded them as Cineplex Cinemas. They were sold to Landmark Cinemas instead.[1][2][3] On October 29, 2013, Empire Theatres closed its Whitby and Kanata locations. They reopened as Landmark Cinemas on October 31, 2013.
PenEquity also owns the 10 Dundas East project in Downtown Toronto.
