Midway Rising, the group that was selected to redevelop the 48-acre Sports Arena site in the Midway District, says the project will no longer include 250 residential units that had been planned for middle-income housing, or a 200-room hotel.

The original plan included a new 16,000-seat arena, 25,000 square feet of commercial space, 20 acres of plazas and parks, a 200-room hotel, and 4,250 residential units. Around 2,000 of those units are set aside for low-income affordable housing, or families who make 80% or less of the area's median income.

In addition, Midway Rising has said that they can no longer build a 200-room hotel they had planned. This is because they discovered an 8-foot sewage line that was previously undisclosed underneath the ground they were planning on building the arena on. The city requires a 30-foot setback area from sewage lines to conduct maintenance and repairs, meaning it was no longer possible to build the arena where they were planning to.
