PHILADELPHIA, PA — The Philadelphia 76ers and Philadelphia Flyers announce they have selected a joint venture led by Turner Construction and AECOM Hunt as the construction manager for their new arena in the South Philadelphia Sports Complex. The joint venture, named PACT+, will also include Philadelphia, Pennsylvania-based firms Perryman Construction, Hunter Roberts Construction Group, and Camfred Construction. PACT+ will work closely with the teams’ ownership and the design team at Populous and Moody Nolan to bring the new arena to life.
The targeted opening date for the arena is 2030, coinciding with the debut of the new WNBA Philadelphia team, which will play there.
“Having Turner and AECOM Hunt on our team is a game-changer as we work to build the most technologically advanced and fan-focused sports and entertainment venue in the world,” said David Adelman, Chairman of the joint venture between 76ers and Flyers. “The knowledge this venture brings to the project will ensure we are on the cutting-edge of the next era of how fans experience live sports and entertainment.”
“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."
