Miami Fort Lauderdale, FL, October 28, 2026 —
The Coral Gables City Commission has extended the lease for the Coral Gables Art Cinema by five years and moved closer to selecting a contractor for the cinema’s expansion project.
After a procurement process, the commission directed staff to pursue an agreement with West Construction Inc., the second-lowest bidder. The commission cited positive past experiences with the company as a reason for its direction, saying those experiences were relevant to the goal of completing the project on time and within budget.
The commission is nearing an agreement to award the expansion project, but the information provided does not indicate that a final contract has been signed or that the award has been completed. It also does not specify the value of the proposed contract, the bids submitted, or the identity of the lowest bidder.
The lease extension gives the Coral Gables Art Cinema an additional five years under its lease. Details about the lease’s previous term, the extension’s start date, or any financial terms were not provided.
The available information does not describe the scope, cost, or schedule of the expansion, nor does it identify when construction is expected to begin or finish. It also does not provide further details about the procurement process or the commission’s prior work with West Construction.
For now, the commission’s direction is to pursue an agreement with the second-lowest bidder, while the project award remains described as nearing completion. Further details about the contract and expansion timeline were not included in the information available.
