Last year, NYCFC hired architects HOK and general contractor Turner Construction Company to build its new stadium in Queens.
The 23-acre (93,000-sq m) site earmarked for the stadium is owned by New York City (NYC) and will be leased to the club and “a development team that includes Hudson Yards developer Related Companies and Sterling Equities.”
The new project ends a decade-long search by NYCFC for a stadium, with the club having played at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx since its inaugural season in 2015 despite having only initially intended to spend three seasons there.
