History and description

The plot is located between the streets Ángel Villena, Bomber Ramón Duart and Antonio Ferrandis, next to La Fonteta;[2] it was used as parking lot for the attendants to the former venue and L'Alqueria.[3] The arena is being funded by Juan Roig, who created the company Licampa 1617 S.L. in order to carry out the project.[4] After a 50-year concession, the facilities will revert to the municipality.[2]

The venue is expected to have a capacity of 15,600 for basketball fixtures and 18,600 for concerts.[5] It will also feature around 1,300 parking spaces.[2]

Building works started on 29 June 2020.[6]

In 2020 the arena was expected to open in 2023,[2] but was later delayed to 2024.[1] It is expected to replace La Fonteta as main venue of Valencia Basket.[7]
