DETROIT,

Olympia
Entertainment
and
Olympia

have
opened a
state-of-the-art
Preview
Center
in the
northeast
corner
of
Comerica

The

Center
features
three
dimensional-printed
scaled
animated
models
of The

provide
a fully

“The new

going to
offer
one-of-a-kind
fan
experiences
and
reflect
the
excitement
and
energy
associated
with all
that is
going on
in our
hometown,”
said Tom
Wilson,
President
of
Olympia
Entertainment.
“The

is
equally
amazing,
redefining
how
experiences
like
this are
shared
prior to
the
opening
of the
arena.”
While
the
Preview
Center
will be
used for
a wide
range of
events,
the
primary
use for
the next
24
months
is to
tell The
District
Detroit
and
Events
Center
story to
a wide
variety
of
potential
investors,
sponsors
and
suite
and
season
ticket
holders.
Driving
effective
retail,
office
and
residential
leasing
through
the
Preview
Center
will
support
the
positive
economic
impact
of these
developments
for
Detroit
and
Michigan.
The
Preview
Center
was
developed
jointly
by
Olympia
Entertainment
and
Olympia
Development
to
create a
unique
environment
for
businesses
and
investors
to
experience
the
dynamic
concepts
that
will
soon be
coming
to life.
Detroit-based

“A space
like
this
helps
all of
us
visualize
how
transformational
this
project
is going
to be
for the
city,”
said
Wilson.
“Through
the use
of
incredible
models,
video,
sound,
graphics
and
technology,
the
Preview
Center
creates
an
immersive
experience
that is
sure to
amaze.”

About
The

Detroit
The

of a

venues,
including
six
world-class
theatres
and
three
multi-use
sports
venues –
home to
the
Detroit
Red
Wings,
the
Detroit
Tigers
and the

Lions.
The
District
Detroit
will
also
feature
residential,
office
and
retail
developments
that
connect
these
venues
into one
contiguous,
walkable
area,
where

entertainment
lovers
and
others
who
crave a
vibrant
urban
setting
can
connect

each
other

love.

to
generate
at least
$1.8
billion
in total
economic
impact,
8,300
construction
and
construction-related
jobs and
1,100
permanent
jobs.
More
than
$100
million
in
income
from the
Events
Center
project
alone is
expected
for
Detroit
residents,
with
significant
additional
income
to be
created
through
future
private
development.
