Tottenham Hotspur Football Club had an ambition: to redevelop their stadium at White Hart Lane into a multipurpose, 62,000-seat sports and entertainment complex.
62,000
A 3,000-tonne retractable grass pitch that slides away to reveal the NFL's first purpose-built home outside the United States? It's not what you'd expect from a London football stadium. But then Tottenham Hotspur is no ordinary stadium. In fact, with 62,000 seats, a micro-brewery, Michelin-starred dining experiences and a 40 metre-high daredevil 'Sky Walk', this multipurpose arena has been declared “the best stadium in the world”. But it didn’t happen overnight. And with a full calendar of fixtures, Tottenham Hotspur needed to keep the old stadium open and operational for fans throughout the 2016/17 season. This meant working with a dedicated team who could manage the new construction around the old stadium. No small feat in a busy urban area.
With our Commercial Management expertise, we helped define commercial execution, raise private finance, and de-risked development and delivery.
