As the submission deadline approaches, teams are working to strengthen their bids by bringing on nationally recognized developers, engineers, and consultants that are meant to demonstrate the financial capacity, technical expertise, and delivery track record required for a project of this scale.
Large, multi-phase redevelopments like the Gas Plant District demand not only visionary concepts, but also deep experience in infrastructure, housing, environmental remediation, and public-private partnerships.
ARK Ellison Horus, a development group led by ARK Invest, Ellison Development, and Horus Construction, recently announced that several national firms have submitted letters of interest to work with the team on its $6.8 billion proposal.
The group is proposing to redevelop 95.5 acres, which includes Tropicana Field, into a new mixed-use district anchored by innovation, housing, cultural institutions, and world-class event venues.
