Builder Over $200 Million Constructor Award

​The prestigious 2020 Builder Over $200 Million Constructor Award was presented to Mortenson | Clark, A Joint Venture for their work on the Chase Center Development Project. Chase Center is setting a new standard for sports and entertainment venues worldwide. The landmark facility features an iconic 18,000-seat arena, replete with cutting-edge technology and premium amenities, as well as two 11-story office buildings. Home court to the six-time NBA champion Golden State Warriors, it will also accommodate over 200 concerts and other events annually.
 
Mortenson|Clark, a partnership of Mortenson Construction and Clark Construction Group, overcame significant challenges to complete the $1.4 billion, 2 million-square-foot project on an ambitious schedule. Its delivery showcased world-class engineering and problem-solving, meticulous planning and collaboration, innovation, and safety achievement. The rigorous construction planning effort harnessed the experience and resources of both firms to devise sophisticated engineering solutions before ever breaking ground.
 
With an immovable public commitment to open for the 2019/20 NBA season, the joint venture committed four years in advance to a date-certain delivery of the arena. In the face of complicated scheduling logistics, the team set a new benchmark for virtual reality mock-ups and advanced 4D modeling.
 
Despite the herculean pace of construction and sheer volume of craftworkers on site, Chase Center was completed with a safety record six times lower than the industry average. The project illustrates how large-scale construction projects can transform the built environment and set new industry standards for constructability and design.
