Midway Rising has contracted US-based civil engineer Bowman Consulting to support the development of a new entertainment centre within San Diego’s Midway-Pacific Highway community.

The contract will see Bowman supply engineering, surveying, and mapping services.

The Midway Rising group consists of Chelsea Investment, Legends, and Zephyr.

Zephyr CEO Brad Termini said: “We are pleased to be partnering with Bowman and know they will contribute significantly to the transformation of the Midway-Pacific Highway community.

“Their commitment to excellence and their dedication to blending innovation with sustainability aligns seamlessly with the goals of the redevelopment.”

The new entertainment centre will replace the Pechanga Arena and feature a 16,000-seat facility intended to host sporting events, concerts, entertainment shows and more.

The master plan of the development consists of 4,250 homes, with 2,000 allocated as affordable housing.

Bowman principal Greg Shields said: “Bowman is dedicated to upholding the highest standard of services to ensure the new sports entertainment centre aligns seamlessly with the vibrant vision of the Midway Districts revitalisation.

“When PDC was acquired by Bowman, this is the kind of revenue synergy and growth opportunity we were hoping to realise. Our award of this project underscores Bowman’s commitment to contributing to developments that elevate and enrich communities.”

In July 2023, the City of Yonkers in New York appointed Bowman to provide landscape architectural design, civil engineering, and permitting services.

First movers have a clear advantage and could be seen as leading metaverse adopters in the construction market

The construction industry has large and complex sites to manage, strict project deadlines, hazardous working conditions, and tight profit margins. It is also under increasing pressure to improve its ESG credentials and digitalize. The three primary use cases for the metaverse in the construction industry are training, building information modeling (BIM) renders, and collaborative creation, though its adoption is still in its infancy.
