Major League Soccer team New York City Football Club aims to complete construction of a stadium in Queens, N.Y., in time for the 2027 season—selecting architect HOK and general contractor Turner Construction Co. for the $780-million project, the firms announced April 14. 

The 25,000-seat soccer-specific stadium is planned for a location east of the New York Mets’ Citi Field baseball stadium in the Willets Point neighborhood as part of a larger city-backed area redevelopment. Construction still requires uniform land use approvals from city officials to advance. The soccer team, known as NYCFC, expects to enter the review process later this year.

Brad Sims, CEO of NYCFC, called the firms the “right partners” for the project. Turner and HOK say they have completed more than 400 projects together over 50 years. 

“HOK is renowned for designing some of North America’s most successful stadiums, arenas, and entertainment districts, and we are looking forward to working with [the firm] as we enter the [uniform land use review procedure] approval process,” he said in a statement. “Turner is recognized as a leading builder of stadiums, arenas and ballparks—including one dozen Major League Soccer stadiums—that support the communities in which they are built.”
