SC Advisors Engaged by City of Orlando for Major Stadium Renovation

SC Advisors has been engaged by The City of Orlando to serve as the Owner’s Advisor for the renovation of the Florida Citrus Bowl Stadium.

“SC Advisors will work closely with our partners, the City of Orlando and Florida Citrus Sports, to transform this historic stadium into one of the finest bowl venues in the country,” said Jay Berlinsky, founder and owner of SC Advisors. “We look forward to the challenge.”

The project can be characterized as a re-build with the replacement of the entire lowerbowl seating structure, new premium seating areas, food service, concession facilities and overall general improvements. Construction on the $200 million project is slated to begin later this year, while pre-development and pre-construction work has been underway since October, 2012. As Owner’s Advisor, SCA will develop and manage the City’s project team that includes HNTB Corporation as the project architect, Hunt Construction Group as program manager, and Turner Construction Company as construction manager at risk.

Built in 1936 with seating for 8,900 people, the Florida Citrus Bowl Stadium has undergone a number of expansions and improvements. The current project is the most ambitious in the stadium's 77-year history.

With more than 40 years of team experience and $2 billion in development and transactions, Orlando-based SC Advisors customizes strategies and operating plans to meet clients’ specific business and/or policy objectives and then guides them through every stage of the real estate development process.
