Billionaire Stan Kroenke takes control of San Diego Midway Rising development

Billionaire sports team owner, Stan Kroenke's development group announced on Monday, June 12, that it will be the chief investor for the massive redevelopment of San Diego's Sports Arena site, known as Midway Rising.

Kroneke, who owns the Los Angeles Rams and the Denver Nuggets professional football and basketball team, will be the main investor in repurposing the 48.5-acre site which will be home to an estimated 4,250 residential housing units as well as a new indoor sports arena.

The Kroenke Group will take control from the Midway Rising Development team, comprised of developer Zephyr, sporting arena management group, Legends, and affordable housing builder, Chelsea.

The transition comes less than a year after Mayor Todd Gloria selected the Midway Rising Project over two other applicants. However, questions over the viability of the Midway Rising team arose during the city's selection process.
