27 Feb Harrah Builds Lavish Theater—With Office Tower in Mind

Posted at 03:43h in Magazine Article by

Originally budgeted at $5 million, the OC Pavilion has been finished with a price tag of $22 million.  Owner and developer, Michael Harrah, designed the theater with himself in mind, hence the $3.5 million sound system and the private dining room with an antique Steinway piano.  While it’s easy to trace Harrah’s passion for music to his passion for building a premier music venue, Harrah has greater motivation.  “It’s part of my master plan to redevelop downtown Santa Ana.” Harrah has said.  As he looks to draw tenants to his planned office tower at One Broadway Plaza, Harrah realizes that amenities like restaurants, entertainment venues and even the Orange County High School of the Arts which he helped remodel.  Just like a 57 T-Bird, Harrah has tinkered with every aspect of the OC Pavilion, turning what was originally planned to be a modest office building into one of the county’s finest entertainment venues.
