Philadelphia City Council has approved the new 76ers arena, named 76 Place, in Center City. The $1.3 billion project will begin with demolition, expected to start in 2026, followed by construction in 2027 or 2028, and a planned opening in 2031. The arena will have 18,500 seats and will be designed by experienced firms Populous and Moody Nolan. The project will also include mixed-use development around the arena, with residential and retail spaces. Stores in the Fashion District will need to vacate for the project, but a timeline for this has not yet been provided. There will be no immediate changes to the Market East area as preparations begin.
