Real Estate firm LVXP has chosen AECOM, a top infrastructure consulting firm, to design an NBA-ready arena on the Las Vegas Strip. This arena will anchor LVXP’s 27-acre mixed-use development, which also includes a luxury resort and casino designed by Steelman Partners.
Strategically located near major landmarks like the Las Vegas Convention Center and Resorts World, the development aims to become a premier entertainment destination—and home to a new NBA franchise.
Nick Tomasino, LVXP’s Chief Construction Officer, praised AECOM’s work on the Intuit Dome in California and highlighted their shared commitment to innovation and guest experience. AECOM’s team, led by Bill Hanway and Dan Meis, brings extensive experience in sports and entertainment design, having completed over 70 arenas in the U.S.
“We are excited to work with LVXP as they seek to redefine what it means to be a landmark venue,” said Matt Crane, Chief Executive of AECOM’s U.S. West region, in a recent press release. “By leveraging our team of multidisciplinary experts, our innovative integrated delivery model, and leading-edge technology, we are well equipped to deliver this world-class facility that reflects the ambitious vision of LVXP.”
James Frasure, CEO of LVXP, expressed excitement about working with Steelman Partners and AECOM in a recent interview. “Paul Steelman’s visionary designs for the resort, coupled with AECOM’s unparalleled expertise in arena design, will create a magnificent and unrivaled destination on the Las Vegas Strip,” he said.
Details on the resort’s design are limited, but Frasure did note that it would include the following:
- An 18,500- to 20,000-seat arena for entertainment and sports
- Rooms with technological advancements currently used in overseas resorts
- A casino
- Convention facilities
- A retail plaza
- Food outlets that would spotlight Las Vegas restaurateurs
Underground parking facilities are also a part of the plan
