Las Vegas’ population boom has led to a significant increase in roadworks and construction projects, says Fountain, co-founder and CEO of KOR Building Group. “The city plans to build the A’s baseball stadium and a future NBA arena, and KOR intends to be a part of those and other projects,” he says. Founded in 2013, KOR Building Group began as a commercial builder focused on airport and hotel and public works projects and has recently expanded into the federal market.
The development and construction of new sports facilities will continue to generate opportunities for contractors, adds Fountain. With the goal of Major League Baseball’s athletics organization moving to Las Vegas in 2028, speculation centers on building the team’s stadium on the site of the soon-to-be Tropicana Hotel will be demolished, he notes.
Also, Oak View Group, a Denver-based sports and commercial real estate developer, proposed last year to build an estimated $1 million arena in an effort to bring the National Basketball Association to Las Vegas.
