SC Advisors Real Estate - Amway Center Case Study

 

On October 10, 2010, Orlando’s Amway Center, the nationally acclaimed new home of the Orlando Magic, opened 30 days ahead of schedule and within budget.

The complex 800,000 sf public-private venture also received LEED® Gold Certification—the first basketball venue in the nation to do so. The developer of this massive project, the Orlando Magic, retained SC Advisors as the Developer’s Representative. SCA worked closely with the Magic project team through every detail of funding, approvals, design, construction, occupancy, and closeout.

In addition to the design/build challenges inherent with a special use facility, the SCA team successfully navigated the daily challenges of a high profile project with numerous public requirements including M/WBE commitments, neighborhood programs, direct public procurement, and owner’s insurance programs.

At the same time, the SCA team effectively balanced the requirements of the City of Orlando as the new owner, and the Orlando Magic as developer-at-risk and anchor tenant.
