According to Construction Dive, a joint venture between Flintco and Mortenson has broken ground on a new NBA arena in Oklahoma City valued at $900 million, marking one of the largest construction projects currently underway in the region.
What It Means for Subcontractors
- Projects of this scale typically require dozens of specialty trades, including structural steel, electrical, mechanical, concrete, glazing, and fire suppression, making this a major opportunity for Oklahoma-based subs and those willing to mobilize regionally.
- Flintco is headquartered in Tulsa, giving local and regional subcontractors a familiar general contractor to work with on bid packages.
- Early engagement matters on arena projects, as long-lead procurement and phased scopes mean subs who get on the approved vendor list early have a competitive edge.
