76 Place at Market East was a proposed 18,500-capacity indoor arena planned for Center City, Philadelphia that would have served as the home of the city's National Basketball Association (NBA) team, the Philadelphia 76ers. Originally planned for a 2031 opening to coincide with the expiration of the team's current lease of the Wells Fargo Center in South Philadelphia, the arena would have been located along the north side of Market Street between 10th and 11th Streets, extending to Cuthbert Street, occupying what is now the western third of Fashion District Philadelphia and the defunct Philadelphia Greyhound Terminal.
The development of 76 Place, with an estimated cost of $1.3 billion, was led by the 76ers managing entity Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment (HBSE)—co-founded by 76ers managing partners Josh Harris and David Blitzer—along with real estate developer and HBSE limited partner David Adelman. 76 Place faced significant opposition from some community groups, particularly in regards to its effects on neighboring Chinatown. According to several polls, a significant majority of the public opposed the project.
Despite being granted approval by the Philadelphia City Council, HBSE abandoned plans for 76 Place in January 2025 and announced a deal with Comcast Spectacor to build a new arena for the 76ers and the Philadelphia Flyers of the National Hockey League (NHL) at the present South Philadelphia Sports Complex.
