Westcourt: crews are on site doing early foundation work, a year behind schedule
noted Aug 27, 2026
Turner Construction was hired May 5 as general contractor for the $500 million Westcourt district on the 8.5 acres just north of the Kia Center, and crews have started early site work — surveying, utility mapping and test piles for the foundations — ahead of full mobilization. It's the first physical movement since tariff-spooked lenders told the developers to hold off closing their construction loan in spring 2025, a pause partner David Carlock says 'set us back a year.' The Magic-backed district — a Kimpton hotel, roughly 270 apartments, offices, retail and a 3,500-person Live Nation venue — is now projected to open in late 2028.
