The permit, filed under Baker Barrios Architects Inc., lists the project site as 1001 Epic Blvd, Orlando, FL 32819 — the official address of Epic Universe. The work description calls for “site utilities and foundation work” tied to new construction within the Universal South Campus – Plat 2 area, with an expiration date of May 7, 2026.

While no specific building plans or location details have been made public, the permit covers roughly 150,000 square feet of space, large enough to support a major attraction or show building. To put that in perspective, it’s comparable in size to the combined footprint of Le Cirque Arcanus and Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry within The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic.
