Coyotes Release Plans for Proposed Entertainment Complex

Last week ConnectCRE reported on the Arizona Coyotes interest in prevailing in a public auction for a parcel in North Phoenix to build a new facility. Now, the team has released more specific plans about what they’d do if they won the auction.

The property, on Arizona State Land, would encompass 110 acres.

The proposed arena would have 17,000 fixed seats for NHL games and capacity for roughly 1,500 additional temporary seats for non-hockey events. The Coyotes new home would also include a 150,000-square-foot practice facility and headquarters, a live music theater for 3,000 concertgoers, 400,000 square feet of retail and a multi-purpose watch party plaza equipped with a supersized screen for viewing events. The main entertainment district would be fully covered by a 170,000-square-foot roof canopy extending from the arena to the theater.

The Coyotes development plans also include approximately 1,900 luxury residential units, 400,000 square feet of class-A office space, branded retail, dining, bars, farmer’s market, dog park, multiple parking structures and other gathering spaces.
