Shawmut Design and Construction has completed two new spaces at Barclays Center in partnership with Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment: the Gallagher Terrace premium membership club and Modelo Bridge. The projects transform the arena’s west end into an elevated destination for guests and fans as part of BSE’s five-year, more than $100 million plan to enhance the visitor experience throughout the venue.
The 5,300-square-foot Gallagher Terrace replaces sections of the 40/40 Club and the Loge Boxes. Inspired by Brooklyn’s Gilded Age, the space features banquette seating, dynamic LED lighting and the arena’s only in-seat dining experience with waiter service and visibility to the court. Guests can also enjoy a full-service bar with curated wines and a dedicated sommelier team, creating a level of hospitality that blends luxury and comfort.
Modelo Bridge, located on the upper concourse, is a two-level, 6,800-square-foot social hub designed as both a communal fan zone and activation space for performances and contests. The centerpiece, a raised platform shaped like a bridge, pays tribute to the borough’s iconic architecture and connects two standing-room decks with unobstructed views of games or entertainment and Downtown Brooklyn. The space includes the arena’s largest bar at 67 feet in length, food and merchandise kiosks and artwork from local muralists commissioned in collaboration with Modelo, the official cerveza of the Brooklyn Nets.
Partnering with BSE, Populous designed the project and Shawmut led construction.
