Columbus, Georgia, the state’s second largest town, is trying to get in on the sports/entertainment building trend. Last month, work began on the renovation of the former Golden Park as part of bringing minor league baseball back to the city. Construction on what will be called Synovus Park is estimated at $50 million. Local officials are estimating that the project could mean upwards of $350 million in private investment in mixed-use development around the park. The park is the future home of the Atlanta Braves’ Double-A affiliate.

Renovation of the existing ballpark, owned by the City of Columbus and leased by Diamond Baseball Holdings, is being led by W.C. Bradley Real Estate and general contractor Brasfield andamp; Gorrie, with a completion date in time for the start of the 2025 season. The upgrades will allow the venue to operate year-round for public and private events with the expansion of seating to 5,000 – 7,000 as well as the addition of new suites, a club level, hospitality amenities and upgrades to player facilities. In addition to serving as the home field for the club, the stadium will host a variety of marquee events.
