This is a 36,000-seat arena set to appear in the Portsmouth harbor area. It will occupy, together with a residential area of 750 apartments, 5.2 hectares of territory "reclaimed" from the sea.
In addition, the "Coastal Quarter" ensemble will also include 0.4 hectares of public recreational area.
This £ 600 million project, with the participation of one of the world's leading architectural firms, is not the only asset the club has. Portsmouth, owned by Russian businessman Alexander Gaidamak, plans to build a residential complex designed by Ken Shuttleworth's Make workshop in Fratton Park (not far from the construction site of the new arena) on the site of the old stadium after the new stadium was commissioned in 2011.
