Six design firms selected to present proposals for Coral Springs Sportsplex project that could reach $100 million in total development costs
Coral Springs, Florida – Plans for a major new sports facility in Coral Springs are moving forward as six design firms prepare to present proposals for the long-anticipated Sportsplex project, which could carry a price tag of up to $100 million.
City officials confirmed that the presentations will take place on Friday morning, June 5, at 8 a.m. in the Coral Springs City Hall Sawgrass Room. The session marks the next step in a competitive selection process that began with 15 submissions from architecture and engineering companies.
After an initial review, six finalists were chosen to move forward. The selected firms include Arquitectonica International Corporation of Miami, Currie Sowards Aguila Architects of Delray Beach, Fawley Bryant Architects and PBK Architects Florida, both based in Sarasota, Ohlson Lavoie Corporation of Palm Beach Gardens, and The Osborn Engineering Company from Cleveland, Ohio.
Each firm is expected to present its vision for the Sportsplex, a project city leaders see as a key investment in recreational infrastructure and athletic development. The planned facility is also expected to strengthen Coral Springs’ ability to host regional and possibly larger-scale sporting events and tournaments.
While details of the individual proposals have not yet been made public, the competition highlights the scale and ambition behind the project. With a budget that could reach $100 million, the Sportsplex is one of the most significant potential developments under consideration by the city in recent years.
City officials have described the project as an opportunity to enhance community recreation while also supporting economic activity tied to sports tourism. Larger venues often bring increased visitor traffic, which can benefit local businesses, hotels, and restaurants during major events.
The final firm selected after Friday’s presentations will be responsible for both the design and engineering of the new facility. That role includes shaping the overall layout, functionality, and long-term planning of the Sportsplex, which is expected to serve both residents and visiting athletes.
Despite the progress in narrowing down candidates, officials have not yet announced a timeline for selecting the winning firm or for when construction might begin. That uncertainty leaves the project still in an early planning stage, even as expectations continue to build.
The upcoming presentations are expected to give city leaders a clearer picture of how each firm would approach the development, and what features could be included in the final design. For now, Coral Springs is preparing to evaluate competing visions for what could become one of its largest recreational investments to date.
