The Athletics recently submitted a development agreement, applied for a building permit, and received an additional permit for $87M in concrete work for the planned A’s Stadium in Clark County. 

The $1.8B stadium is designed by Bjarke Ingels Group, while HNTB is serving as the architect of record. The general contractor is a joint venture between Mortenson and McCarthy Building Companies.

Mechanical/Electrical/Plumbing engineering is being done by Henderson Engineers. Lochsa Engineering is the civil engineer, and Thornton Tomasetti is the structural engineer. (NVBEX: Jan. 3; Feb. 8; March 8; March 20; April 9; May 24; June 6)

The development agreement establishes an outline as to how the stadium will be built and operated. A Clark County spokesperson said the development agreement will be considered at a Clark County Zoning Commission meeting later this month. A public hearing will follow in October.

The A’s are required to pay all project costs until the development agreement is approved. Once Clark County approves the newly introduced development agreement, the A’s are eligible to request up to $380M in public funding that was set aside for the development by Senate Bill 1, which was passed in 2023.

A separate development agreement was approved by the Las Vegas Stadium Authority in 2024.

Clark County officials approved land use permits in March for the proposed stadium that have allowed the A’s to commence site work to keep the project on track to open for the 2028 Major League Baseball season.

The most recent building permit was issued on Aug. 26. This building permit allows construction crews to pour concrete from the lowest point of the site to the main concourse of the stadium. This is the fifth building permit for the multiphase stadium.

The A’s most recently applied for a building permit on Aug. 28. This permit covers roof structure work and comes in at $165.4M. The baseball team also applied for a building permit valued at $70.5M. This permit will allow steel structure and seating work above the primary concourse. If all goes to plan, the A’s will receive this permit in November.

Clark County and A’s officials have been working on the sewer, drainage and traffic mitigation portions of the development. The A’s expect to have these aspects hammered out by the time the next permit is issued in November.

Combined, all the building permits the A’s have applied for account for $378.8M.
