Sports & Entertainment
Sports facilities, entertainment venues, golf courses, race tracks, theaters, athletic complexes, destination resorts, theme parks, and even ski resorts. These sites are unlike any other, presenting unique challenges that require innovative and creative solutions to meet your needs.
In order to develop your facility into an entertaining, state-of-the-art venue, you have to balance site planning, property design, infrastructure issues, permitting, local and federal regulations, stakeholder coordination, and financial feasibility, among many other factors—all while ensuring your project stays on schedule. You need an experienced team with design knowledge of similar facilities and recent local experience to keep you in the game and help make your ambitious plans a reality.
We are proud to have played a crucial role in shaping the landscape in this sector. Our recognition, extensive experience, and expertise in the industry speak for themselves.
