A joint venture between Flintco and Mortenson has officially broken ground on a $900 million NBA arena project in Oklahoma City. The major sports infrastructure development is expected to be completed by summer 2028.
The project will deliver a state-of-the-art arena designed to serve as the future home venue for the Oklahoma City Thunder, while also hosting concerts, entertainment events, and community activities.
Local and National Construction Partnership
The construction team combines local expertise with national experience in large-scale sports venues. Flintco, which has strong roots in Oklahoma, will partner with Mortenson, a company known for building major stadiums and arenas across the United States.
The partnership is expected to streamline project delivery while ensuring the facility meets modern standards for fan experience, technology integration, and sustainability.
Major Investment in Oklahoma City’s Sports Infrastructure
The $900 million arena represents one of the largest civic projects in the city’s history and a key investment in maintaining the long-term presence of the Oklahoma City Thunder in the region.
Officials say the arena will strengthen the city’s ability to host major sporting events, concerts, and national entertainment tours, boosting tourism and economic activity.
Project Timeline and Impact
Construction has now officially begun, with the joint venture aiming for completion by summer 2028. Once finished, the new arena is expected to become a centerpiece of downtown Oklahoma City and a catalyst for surrounding development.
Beyond professional basketball, the venue will support a wide range of events, helping the city expand its reputation as a regional destination for sports and entertainment.
