Power Court Project Gains Momentum as Luton Town Announce Construction Partner

Luton Town Football Club has announced a significant step forward in their long-awaited Power Court stadium project, revealing that building work is set to commence this summer. The Club’s development arm, 2020 Developments, has entered into a pre-construction services partnership with global construction giant Limak International, a move that signals a new era for the Hatters.

Limak International, renowned for its work on complex, world-class infrastructure projects including the ambitious redevelopment of FC Barcelona's Spotify Camp Nou, brings a wealth of experience to the Power Court development. The partnership will see Limak guide the early stages of the project, preparing for the recruitment of a top-tier team of trade contractors.

The ambitious plans envision a state-of-the-art 25,000-capacity stadium ready to host its first competitive fixture at the beginning of the 2028/29 season. This development is central to Luton Town’s board’s vision to solidify their position as a Premier League club and significantly enhance the matchday experience for their loyal fanbase.

Beyond the stadium itself, the Power Court project is poised to act as a catalyst for widespread regeneration in central Luton. Over the next decade, the development aims to deliver new homes, a hotel, and crucial infrastructure, injecting vitality into the heart of the town. The wider project is also expected to generate over 1,000 permanent jobs, in addition to the hundreds of direct jobs created during the construction phase.

Gary Sweet, Chief Executive of Luton Town Football Club, expressed his enthusiasm for this milestone: "This is a transformative opportunity for the Club, helping us realise our ambitions to be a Premier League club again one day. We are united with the supporters on the need for a new stadium to move our Luton Town forward and we are delighted to be moving into this exciting construction phase."

He further emphasised the project's community focus: "Importantly, this new stadium project roots us in our community, bringing jobs and investment as part of the wider regeneration of the area. Partnering with a company of Limak’s international standing offers us a global perspective with local delivery. We will collaborate closely with them to ensure the stadium reflects the spirit and needs of the community."

Gokalp Kahraman, Regional Director for the UK & Western Europe at Limak International, echoed this sentiment: "Following a competitive tender process, we're delighted to enter this first phase of the new Power Court development. Limak will offer its technical expertise and international experience to guide the project’s early stages and prepare the recruitment of a best-in-class team of trade contractors. We’re incredibly excited to work with the Club and its partners to bring its ambitious and impressive vision to life.”

Limak International’s impressive portfolio includes ongoing work at the Spotify Camp Nou, a recent $5.6 billion contract for the Dubai Metro Blue Line, the new terminal at Kuwait Airport, and the record-breaking 1915 Çanakkale Bridge in Turkey. Their involvement is also expected to ensure the Power Court stadium is one of the most environmentally sustainable in the UK.

The news has been warmly received by key stakeholders. Paul Stephens, Chair of Luton Town Supporters’ Trust, hailed it as "a major step forward," while Allan Drummond, Chair of Luton Town Disabled Supporters’ Association (LTDSA), praised the promise of a stadium designed with accessibility at its core.

Hazel Simmons, Leader of Luton Borough Council, highlighted the wider benefits: "The start of construction at Power Court is a significant milestone for our Club and our town. This development is about much more than football — it will unlock long-term regeneration, bring jobs, homes, and vitality back to the centre of Luton."

Rachel Hopkins, MP for Luton South and South Bedfordshire, added her support, stating: "Luton Town Football Club is an essential part of our community’s identity, and the new stadium at Power Court represents both pride in our heritage and hope for our future. We welcome Limak International to Luton and will be delighted to assist wherever we can. It’s a win for our Club, our town, and all of its communities.”

With a construction partner now secured and work set to begin this summer, the vision for a new era at Power Court is rapidly becoming a tangible reality, promising a bright future for Luton Town Football Club and the wider community.
