This team shares our commitment to being authentic to the Philadelphia fan experience and building an arena the city and fans can be proud of. We are also proud to partner with local, Philadelphia based firms to bring this generational project to life.”

“This is more than a construction project—it’s a chance to build something that becomes part of Philadelphia’s fabric for generations,” said Dave Kaminski, Vice President and Senior General Manager for Turner. “As someone who calls this city home, I couldn’t be prouder that Turner is helping shape a landmark that will bring people together and celebrate what makes Philadelphia such a special place.”

“We’re honored to help bring the future of sports and entertainment to South Philly with this next-generation arena,” said Jason Kopp, COO, Central Region, AECOM Hunt. “Designed to transform the fan experience for decades to come, this venue will feature cutting-edge amenities for athletes, performers, and visitors alike – setting a new standard in large-scale venue design and construction. From Sixers and Flyers games to concerts and more, this project reflects the best of what’s possible when vision, innovation, and Philadelphia’s world-class skilled workforce come together. Together, we’re bringing bold vision to life, one that will truly reflect and represent the heart, spirit, and pride of Philadelphia.”

With over 50 years of stadium and arena experience, and 20 years working together, Turner Construction and AECOM Hunt’s joint venture ensure established leaders in the construction of cutting-edge sports facilities oversee the construction of this project. This adds to Turner and AECOM Hunt’s Philadelphia portfolio which includes Lincoln Financial Field, FMC Tower, One uCity Square and the upcoming Chubb Center.
