The Chelsea Piers Sports Complex has been an integral part of the lives of native New Yorkers for a number of years, and now Connecticut residents will have the chance to take part in the action. Before the owners of Chelsea Piers settled on a location they considered cities such as San Francisco, Boston and Philadelphia. More than 33 acres of land have been designated as the site of the future Chelsea Piers Connecticut. Although construction only started a few months ago, the developers are confident that the project will be completed by 2014.
The new site for Chelsea Piers will be located where old Procter & Gamble US headquarters was once positioned in Stamford, Connecticut. Connecticut is a fairly small state, but the owners of Chelsea Piers hope to attract millions of visitors. The property cost $17.5 million, and a full spectrum sports center has been planned. A gymnasium, an Olympic sized and several ice skating rings. The super sized recreation center will bring in millions of dollars In revenues for the developers, but the company may face hardship in this economy climate.
Although the project has been in the makings for more than three years, the developers are confident that they choose to start work at exactly the right time in exactly the right place. Visitors from around the world will have another reason to visit Connecticut, and local politicians are happy that the developers choose to make Stamford the home of the new location for the Chelsea Piers Sports Complex.
