Big plans rising on Watt Road
During that time, the developers took a mountain and moved 4.8 million cubic yards of earth to create pads for a sports park, 288 apartments, retail, restaurants, hotels, entertainment, a water sports area, medical center, sports training facilities and more.
Phase one of the sports park includes seven full-size, rectangular, fully turf multi-use fields, which can be used for soccer, lacrosse, football, rugby fields for men, women and youth, said Dalton Maddox, vice president of Maddox Companies.
“Youth can play a cross field on them, so it would actually be the equivalent of 14 youth fields,” he said. “All of them one level, all with bathrooms, all lit, concessions and all with individual seating,” he added. “So it really should be the highest tournament-style fields anywhere in the region here.”
Additionally, Dalton said the company has an additional piece of property on which they could put up to 15 more fields down the line.
“We’re putting the [seven fields] first to see how the market responds to them,” he said.
