DISTRITO T-Mobile

What DISTRITO T-Mobile does

DISTRITO T-Mobile is a privately held integrated entertainment complex located at 250 Convention Blvd in the Puerto Rico Convention District Authority area of San Juan. Developed by PRISA Group and opened in August 2021, the venue operates under DL PM Services, LLC and related Puerto Rico entities, with T-Mobile holding naming rights as the primary sponsor rather than equity ownership. The complex spans a 50,000-square-foot central plaza (Popular Plaza) anchored by over 14,500 square feet of 4K LED screens across 19 displays totaling 19 million pixels, enabling 360-degree visual experiences and daily live entertainment programming.

The business combines 10+ restaurant and bar concepts, the Coca-Cola Music Hall concert venue (4,000-5,000 capacity), Caribbean Cinemas VIP (7 VIP rooms plus the first ScreenX theater in the Caribbean), the TOROVERDE Urban Park (longest urban zipline in the Americas, rock climbing, rope courses), the Aloft San Juan by Marriott hotel, the Arena Medalla sports bar, and retail stores (Sample and FRSH). Revenue is generated through food and beverage sales, concert and cinema ticketing, hotel accommodations, parking, private event bookings, BetMGM sports betting kiosks, and a 1% maintenance and entertainment fee that subsidizes the free public plaza.

The company serves tourists, local Puerto Rico residents, food and entertainment enthusiasts, sports fans, and corporate event planners through a direct-to-consumer destination model with no admission fee. Distribution channels include on-site visitation (with 24/7 parking), third-party delivery partnerships (Uber Eats, DoorDash), online ticketing for the music hall and cinema, and a dedicated private events sales function. Founding partners include T-Mobile, Banco Popular, JetBlue, Coca-Cola, Evertec, Medalla Light, and Marriott, with venue management supported by ASM Global and Caribe Hospitality.
