The Sixers hope to build and open their new Center City stadium by 2031, when their lease at the Wells Fargo Center expires.
'The Washington Square West Civic Association has come out against the Sixers’ plan to build a Center City arena, the second of the two big, adjacent neighborhoods to oppose the project.
“We urge the City Council to vote NO,” the organization’s directing board wrote in a letter that was posted on social media Tuesday night. The board’s stance aligns leafy Wash West, as the community is known, with the historic immigrant neighborhood of Chinatown, where large numbers have fought the Sixers’ proposal almost from the moment it was announced in July 2022.
The $1.55 billion arena and apartment tower would stand on Market Street East at 10th Street, between Chinatown to the north and Wash West to the south. “We know there are people in opposition to this proposal, and it’s up to us once we get the legislation to look at it,” Councilmember Mark Squilla, whose 1st District includes Wash West, Chinatown, and the arena site, said Wednesday morning. “We know what a lot of their concerns are.”
