New Project Award in Mobile
BL Harbert International has been awarded a $237 million contract by the City of Mobile to construct a state-of-the-art arena, replacing the 60-year-old Mobile Civic Center.
The new 298,000-square-foot multi-purpose facility will honor Mobile’s deep-rooted Mardi Gras traditions while serving as a premier sports and entertainment venue.
Designed to accommodate a variety of events, the arena will feature luxury suites, VIP clubs, retail spaces, a Grand Hall with flexible seating arrangements, and a capacity of up to 10,000 seats.
“We are thrilled to partner with the City of Mobile, Volkert, GMC, and Populous on this transformative project,” said Dan Price, Senior Vice President and Commercial Division Manager of the U.S. Group for BL Harbert International. “This new facility will be a game-changer for the region, blending tradition with innovation.”
The Mobile Arena is set to be completed in time for the 2027 Mardi Gras celebrations.
