FORREC designs success
Background
FORREC is an entertainment design company that creates places of escape and destinations of distinction. Our creative house leads in the design of theme parks, waterparks, mixed-use and entertainment developments, resorts and visitor attractions globally. We create guest experiences others don’t, masterplan like no one else can, and give the world’s biggest brands results they never thought possible. Based in Toronto, Canada, FORREC has built projects in 20 countries, with a 30-year history.

Main services
We provide a complete range of planning and design services, including master planning, program development, design management, attraction design, landscape architecture, architecture, interior design, graphics and signage design and exhibit design.

Additional products
We can revitalise existing attractions. We know that success often comes from building on what you already have. From reinventing a much-treasured museum exhibit to refreshing a resort, we can review your existing site, and conduct visitor and revenue enhancement studies. We create a roadmap for future development/expansion/redesign for your project so it stays fresh and relevant, which is good for your guest experience and bottom line.

USPs
We have six attributes that guide our projects and make us unique in the way we work. For more information, visit our website (www.forrec.com) and look under the section titled How We’re Different.
