Orange County Nickelodeon Hotel Deal Approved

A development and disposition agreement that’s likely the final step toward building a large Nickelodeon-themed hotel at Harbor Boulevard in Garden Grove, Orange County, California was approved by the Garden Grove City Council on Tuesday (Sept. 13) night.

NICKELODEON HOTEL planned for Harbor’s west side (City of Garden Grove).

On a 6-0 vote (with second district member Councilmember John O’Neill recusing himself), a resolution approving a disposition and development agreement with Newage Garden Grove II, LLC passed.

Now the developer is committed to construct a 500-suite full service hotel on a 3.72 acre site on Harbor Boulevard, immediately south of the Sheraton Hotel. 

It would include a themed “pool experience” with a “lazy river,” event space that includes a 600-seat theater and grand ballroom and more.

The estimated net project revenue to the city by Year 3 is $3.5 million annually. Over 30 years, the project is expected to generate about $236.4 million to the city in a combination of “bed tax” charged to hotel guests, sales tax and property tax.

As many as 1,000 new jobs are expected to be generated from construction and in the resort.

The proposed project would include:

  • a themed pool experience with a “lazy river” and pool slide
  • event space with a 600-seat theater
  • 17,715 square feet of ballroom/meeting space
  • 22,296 square feet of hotel restaurant
  • 5,480 square feet of retail
  • themed amenities totaling 13,238 square feet
  • a 7,000 square foot arcade
  • a spa and fitness center of 8,532 square feet
  • a five-level parking structure with 528 parking spaces.

Once construction starts, completion should take 18 to 24 months estimates Lisa Kim, assistant city manager and director of community and economic development.

We first heard of plans to open a Nick Hotel in OC in 2016, when Nickelodeon and Kam Sang Co. planned to open a Nick-themed hotel in the city. However, the project was delayed by the end of redevelopment as well as the coronavirus pandemic.

Also on the agenda approved at the Garden Grove City Council meeting were:

  • adoption of a resolution authorizing submittal of an application to the County of Orange Continuum of Care for the “Special Notice of Funding Opportunity” to address unsheltered homelessness (Garden Grove is in the process of developing a “navigation center” for the homeless, in conjunction with Westminster and Fountain Valley);
  • two purchase orders for a total of 17 police vehicles with a total cost of over $800,000;
  • second reading of an ordinance for a planned unit development for a two-hotel project at the northwest corner of Harbor Boulevard and Twintree Avenue;
  • a purchase agreement for property at 13871 West St. for use as a navigation center for the homeless (cost: $5,650,000) and awarding a contract for architectural services for the building to Borders Architect (cost: $304,000).

Update (6/26/26) - The long-delayed Nickelodeon project planned for the Harbor Boulevard hotel district in Garden Grove took another big – perhaps the final – step toward putting some sticks in the ground.

On Tuesday night the City Council voted 7-0 to approve the second reading and adoption of an ordinance approving a planned unit development for the construction of the 23-story, 500-room hotel project at the northwest corner corner of Harbor at Twintree Avenue in the west side of Harbor, immediately south of the existing Sheraton Hotel.

It will be built on a 3.72-acre site.

The development will also include 17,715-square feet of ballroom and meeting rooms; restaurants that can seat up to 600 people and the Nick Studio theater, a studio hall, and 8,532 square feet devoted to retail and fitness spa.

The studio will be used to create and broadcast Nickelodeon TV properties.

It’s a property of Paramount, which is owned by Skydance Corporation.

The process has been a long journey. The city council originally approved a disposition and development agreement in 2022, but the COVID-19 epidemic and other challenges delayed the project.

The project holds the prospect for a big boost in tax revenue to the city through “transient occupancy tax” paid by hotel guests.

In 2022, the total tax revenue flowing to the city from the project was estimated at $3.5 million annually, with $236.4 million over a 30-year period.

Update (8/13) - Via The Orange County Register:

A Nickelodeon hotel makes its way through red tape, again, in Garden Grove

Plans for a Nickelodeon Hotel & Resort for the City of Garden Grove span back over a decade.

Rendering of a planned Nickelodeon Hotel Resort on Harbor Boulevard in Garden Grove
Rendering of a planned Nickelodeon Hotel Resort on Harbor Boulevard in Garden Grove.

PUBLISHED: June 26, 2026 at 3:19 PM PDT | UPDATED: June 26, 2026 at 6:22 PM PDT

Four years after legal opposition tabled plans for a Nickelodeon-themed resort in Garden Grove, the project is again gaining momentum within City Hall.

The City Council this week unanimously reapproved development plans for a 500-room, themed resort with waterslides and a lazy river. Among its amenities, the resort would feature a 23-story hotel, a 600-seat theater, a spa, an arcade, a restaurant, retail and a five-level parking structure with more than 500 parking spaces.

There are currently three Nickelodeon resorts worldwide — in the Dominican Republic’s Punta Cana, Mexico’s Riviera Maya and Turkey’s Antalya, according to the Nickelodeon Hotel & Resorts website. Another themed resort, and the first in the United States, is planned for a 2028 opening in Orlando, according to the company. The family-friendly cable television network is maybe best known for its roster of animated hits such as “Dora the Explorer” and “SpongeBob SquarePants.”

In Garden Grove, officials are hoping the Kam Sang Company Inc., a real estate investment and development company headquartered in Arcadia, will build the approved Nickelodeon hotel atop a 3.72-acre site at Harbor Boulevard and Twintree Lane. The Kam Sang Company has developed around Garden Grove, including Brookhurst Place, a residential community in Koreatown, and the Sheraton Hotel that’s just north of where the proposed Nickelodeon resort would be.

The idea of a Nickelodeon resort first came to the dais for discussion in 2016 and elected officials llater approved a scaled-down version in 2022. Community members who voiced opposition said they would have been better served by an affordable housing project.

Before construction could begin on the resort, UNITE HERE Local 11, a union representing hospitality workers, appealed the council’s decision, saying the city should have conducted an environmental impact report before green-lighting the project.

But the council denied the appeal and the union filed a complaint in the Orange County Superior Court, challenging the City Council’s actions on CEQA grounds. VietRISE, a local nonprofit and advocacy group, joined the litigation. Before the case went to trial, the city agreed to conduct an environmental impact report, and based on that analysis, to assess whether the project needed changes.

As its next step, the city will “return to the court and present the matter to the judge,” Garden Grove spokesperson Johnathan Garcia said.

“The court will need to determine whether the city has satisfied the requirements of the writ,” he said, adding if the court agrees, the developer would first have to get approval for necessary permits before work can begin on the resort.

Leading up to the council’s decision to approve development plans this week, members of UNITE HERE Local 11 and residents addressed the dais, saying the land should go toward building much-needed homes to fulfill state housing requirements.

“There’s not enough for residents in Garden Grove, and housing is getting more expensive,” VietRISE co-founder and Executive Director Tracy La said. “And in a situation where we have public land, our ideal would be that this land is used for projects directly meeting residents’ most important needs, like housing or a mixed-use development that would really benefit the community.”

“So we’re glad that they came back with the report we were asking for, but it’s always hard to see public land being used for private business as opposed to something that would have really improved the lives of local residents,” she said.

The city estimates the project would generate $323.2 million in revenue over a 30-year span, with the bulk coming from the city’s 14.5% tax on hotel stays.

“The city reinvests this revenue back into the community for the benefit of our residents,” spokesperson Garcia said.

###


No vote on hotel worker wages

One of the two proposed ballot measures backed by members of the local hotel workers union won’t be appearing on the Nov. 3 ballot.

The other – calling for a public vote on the proposed Nickelodeon hotel on Harbor Boulevard – is in the process of its petitions being evaluated by the Orange County Registrar of Voters.

According to the Garden Grove City Clerk’s office, a petition on the hotel with 9,674 signatures was submitted.

Typically, the gathering of signatures includes some persons signing who are not residents of the city, or who are not registered voters, either of which would disqualify them.

The Registrar will now seek to validate the signatures. If sufficient, the proposed initiative would go before Garden Grove voters.

The other proposed initiative called for a raise in the minimum wage for hotel workers.

Details about why that initiative won’t advance was not available at our deadline.

###

Senior vice president of global experiences for Paramount Marie Marks highlighted hospitality’s ability to offer something no other format can offer at Variety’s 2026 Entertainment and Technology Summit. A hotel where families stay with IP for days is a “full flywheel of experiences” that is powerful when done right.

The growing Nickelodeon hotel business has 1,000 rooms in the market and another 2,000 in development globally. “A big learning for us was actually that the IP alone is not enough,” Marks said. “The underlying product has to be exceptional. One’s not enough without the other.”

Update (9/26) - From the Orange County Tribune:

Election on Nickelodeon hotel resort is called for June 2027

Image of the proposed Nickelodeon hotel resort
IMAGE of the proposed Nickelodeon hotel resort (Oxford Economics).

The calling of a special election to decide the fate of a proposal to build a 500-room, 23-story Nickelodeon-themed hotel on Harbor Boulevard was approved by the Garden Grove City Council on Tuesday night.

Toward the end of a meeting that dragged on for almost six hours, six council members – including Mayor Stephanie Klopfenstein – voted in favor of scheduling a special election on June 8, 2027 and appropriating $1 million to cover the cost.

Councilmember Joe DoVinh, saying he was “conflicted” and didn’t want to pass on the $1 million to the new council to be elected in November, recused himself.

The setting of an election comes because a petition drive to call for a referendum on the council-approved ordinance for the zoning for the hotel received enough valid signatures to qualify for the ballot.

That petition drive was organized by Unite Here, a hotel workers union.

“The city had a vision for the Harbor corridor,” said Councilmember /Mayor Pro Tem George Brietigam. He conceded that he had initially been against the plan to create a hotel district along Harbor, but now is a supporter.

“The hotels have saved this community,” he said. “I was staunchly opposed. Man, was I wrong.”
He added that he believed that voters would back the project, which could bring millions in new tax revenue into city coffers. “I don’t think our community will let us down.”

Earlier in the meeting, the council heard a report by the Oxford Economics firm about the potential impact of another petition drive, calling for higher wages for hotel workers and a cap on their workload.

The effect, the report indicated, would be to increase the hotel’s operating costs, which could mean less business for them and less transient occupancy tax (“bed tax”) paid to the city.

The New Pluto TV Product Experience
Pluto TV

Sept 23, 2026 - Los Angeles - Pluto TV is launching a completely rebuilt product experience, the result of moving the platform onto the same technology stack as Paramount+ and marking the company's largest technology investment since its founding 12 years ago. The redesign brings live and on-demand programming together through a more intuitive interface and richer personalization. The launch arrives as free streaming television becomes the fastest-growing segment of the streaming market, with viewers 18-34 now Pluto TV’s fastest-growing audience.

The platform advancements are paired with an expanded content strategy, including a 63 percent year-over-year increase in third-party licensed content from studios like NBCUniversal, Disney, Warner Bros. Discovery, Sony, MGM and Lionsgate. This expansion brings era-defining series like: The X-Files, Arrow, Hart of Dixie and Burn Notice, along with blockbuster film franchises including: John Wick, Rocky, Creed and Jump Street and beloved titles like: A Star Is Born, The Notebook, and Pitch Perfect to the platform. Supporting the launch, a new brand campaign invites consumers everywhere to “Escape to Pluto TV,” anchored by a custom film starring David Duchovny, the undisputed king of extraterrestrial experiences, and featuring familiar Paramount+ faces including Landman's James Jordan and Paulina Chavez as well as Nickelodeon's Kel Mitchell.


"Free streaming is only getting more popular, but people are overwhelmed by choice. Our answer is proven hits, a library of tried and tested fan favorite titles that people return to over and over again, plus a product built to match it, and a brand people know they can turn to. That's what the new Pluto TV delivers, and it's why we see this as one of the biggest opportunities in our portfolio." - Cindy Holland, Chairman of DTC, Paramount Skydance.

“With the newly reimagined Pluto TV experience, we are entering into the next era of free streaming. By bringing live and on-demand entertainment in one intuitive experience and building on a stronger technology foundation, we’re giving our viewers the best of both worlds: the ease of turning on the TV and the personalization and control they expect from streaming, all for free. This is just the first step that will unlock even more value for audiences and advertisers as we innovate faster and build a more connected streaming ecosystem.” - Dane Glasgow, Chief Product Officer, Paramount Skydance.

ABOUT PRODUCT ENHANCEMENTS: The new Pluto TV experience brings live and on-demand entertainment together through a more intuitive interface, richer discovery and personalization, and more flexible ways to watch, all while remaining free. A redesigned Home screen and dedicated Movies and Shows hubs feature premium artwork, richer content details and personalized and curated carousels. An updated Channel Guide lets viewers favorite channels and explore upcoming programming, while Live-to-VOD functionality enables immediate on-demand playback of available titles directly from the guide. A unified live and on-demand player expands in-player browsing across devices, complemented by one-click restart, watchlist controls and unified search.


Looking forward, Paramount will continue to work on user experience enhancements to make it easier to find and watch content fans love, including an in-player channel changer, enhanced personalization on app load and new content discovery features such as Top 10 Carousels and Content Collections. This marks an important step in Paramount’s convergence strategy: sharing technology, data and capabilities across Pluto TV and Paramount+ while preserving what makes each service distinct. This foundation supports more consistent experiences and better discovery for viewers, stronger first-party signals for advertisers and faster innovation across both services.

ABOUT THE EXPANDED CONTENT OFFERING: Pluto TV's expanded content slate including proven hits like The X-Files, Arrow, The 100, Hart of Dixie, and Battlestar Galactica has contributed to strong growth in video-on-demand viewing over the past year. Monthly VOD viewership has grown 70 percent in 2026 with the new slate accounting for roughly a quarter of that growth. The lift has been especially pronounced among viewers aged 18-34, where their VOD viewing hours nearly doubled (+91%) over the same period, underscoring the platform's growing appeal with a new generation of viewers. This growth sits on top of a deepening Paramount library, with titles like Jane the Virgin, Ridiculousness, Being Mary Jane and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend among the latest additions.

Pluto TV’s New Experience Brings Live and On-Demand Entertainment Together

Escape to Pluto TV
Paramount

Sep 23, 2026 - Content Strategy

Pluto TV is launching a redesigned streaming experience that makes it easier to discover, navigate and enjoy free entertainment, whether viewers want to tune into a live channel, choose what to watch or escape into something they love.

The new experience brings live and on-demand programming together through a more intuitive interface, richer personalization and a shared technology foundation with Paramount+. It marks an important step in Paramount’s convergence strategy: connecting the technology, data and capabilities behind our streaming services while preserving what makes each one distinct.

For Pluto TV, that means combining the ease of television with the control and discovery tools audiences expect from modern streaming, all while remaining free.

One Home for Live and On-Demand Discovery

At the center of the experience is a redesigned Home screen. Starting this Summer, users now land on a destination that brings live and on-demand discovery together, rather than just dropping directly into a live channel.

An updated marquee and premium artwork create a richer visual experience, while a new Content Highlight module surfaces essential details without extra clicks. Improved metadata and a mix of personalized, automated and curated carousels help viewers make faster decisions across Home, the Live Channel Guide and the Movies and Shows hubs.

Movies and Shows are now organized into dedicated destinations, with each hub including its own marquee, genre categories and personalized carousels, making it easier to browse by content type. On mobile, Movies and Shows are elevated in the navigation, while expanded Content Details pages offer richer artwork and recommendations for similar programming.

A More Flexible Live TV Experience

Live television remains central to Pluto TV, but the new experience gives viewers greater control over how they watch.

Pluto TV User Interface
Paramount

The redesigned Channel Guide, including a refreshed mobile experience, lets users favorite channels and browse programming more than 24 hours in advance. A Live-to-VOD Side Panel allows viewers to move from the live schedule directly into an on-demand title when it is available, including restarting a currently airing program from the beginning with one click.

The live player includes an On Now carousel, while the on-demand player adds one-click restart and watchlist controls without leaving what’s playing. Unified search and type-ahead suggestions help viewers find relevant programming across both catalogs. These updates bring greater flexibility to live viewing while reducing the friction between live and on-demand entertainment.

Pluto TV User Interface
Paramount

The re-designed on-demand player introduces and streamlines features to give you greater control over how you watch your favorite content, while improvements to our underlying data and technology makes it even easier to find what you love.

Each feature supports a simple goal: helping audiences spend less time looking and more time watching.

How Convergence Unlocks the Next Generation of Free Streaming

Convergence is about building shared technology and capabilities that make both Paramount+ and Pluto TV unique. Pluto TV will continue to offer an expansive free streaming experience, while Paramount+ remains the company’s premium streaming service.

For users, this creates a more connected experience across Pluto TV and Paramount+, with more consistent functionality and better recommendations. For advertisers, registration and stronger first-party signals can support a deeper understanding of audiences and more relevant advertising. For content partners, improved discovery creates more opportunities for programming to reach the right viewers across live and on-demand environments. For Paramount’s product and technology teams, a shared foundation makes it possible to build capabilities once, apply them across services and bring new experiences to audiences faster.

Taken together, we are building a more personalized and connected experience while strengthening the signals that improve content recommendations and advertising.

The New Pluto TV is Just the Beginning

This launch establishes a foundation for Pluto TV’s continued evolution. As we continue to invest in the service, our viewers can expect even more exciting features, including an in-player live channel changer, unified accounts across Paramount+ and Pluto TV, Content Collections, Top 10 Carousels and Prominent Carousels highlighting popular content, Kids Mode and parental controls, Personalized End Cards that help you discover your next watch and more!

As we plan for the future, our viewers can expect a more unified experience across our streaming services while choosing the offering that best fits how they want to watch, especially for registered Pluto TV users. We will continue to experiment with new ways to drive registration that will help make Pluto feel more personalized, while unlocking even more value for our advertising partners.

By bringing together the best of live television and on-demand streaming in one connected, intuitive experience, the new Pluto TV makes it easier than ever for audiences to Escape to Pluto. It also demonstrates what convergence can unlock at Paramount: better products for audiences, stronger opportunities for advertisers and a technology foundation built for faster innovation across our streaming ecosystem.

Two decades ago, audiences were introduced to the world’s most compelling serial killer. Now, the Dexter® legacy continues. Join the cast and creative team behind Paramount+’s Dexter: Resurrection to celebrate the franchise's landmark 20th anniversary and get an exclusive look at what’s in store for the upcoming second season. Moderated by Josh Horowitz, the panel will feature Michael C. Hall, Uma Thurman, James Remar, Jack Alcott, Bokeem Woodbine and Krysten Ritter, as well as showrunner and executive producer Clyde Phillips and executive producers Scott Reynolds and Marcos Siega – and plenty of killer surprises.

Fans can also step inside the world of Dexter at The Dexter 20th Anniversary Museum Experience, a limited-time immersive experience open October 9–11 at Chelsea Industrial (547 W 28th St, New York, NY 10001).

The experience will also host an onsite blood drive with New York Blood Center, with appointments available here.

From Emmy®-nominated showrunner and executive producer Clyde Phillips, the second season of Dexter: Resurrection finds Dexter Morgan (Hall) caught between two killers — one with decades of notoriety and a lifetime of kills behind him, and the other a fresh young face terrorizing New York in ways no one has ever seen. Meanwhile, Dexter battles a new and unexpected enemy: a mid-life crisis. Harrison (Jack Alcott) continues his own pursuit of justice as father and son face their darkest chapter yet. Dexter: Resurrection and Dexter®: Original Sin are available to binge on Paramount+ only with the Premium Plan. Binge Dexter®: New Blood and the original Dexter series with all Paramount+ plans.
