Overview
- The club held a groundbreaking Wednesday in Port St. Lucie, replacing a largely unchanged 1988-era minor-league complex after years of planning.
- Plans call for a 7,000-square-foot weight room, a 180-locker clubhouse, hydrotherapy pools with treadmill units, a training room, batting cage, turf field, a full-service dining room, and a multipurpose space.
- The project cost is approximately $60 million, which officials said is being covered entirely by owner Steve Cohen.
- Completion timelines reported publicly differ, with MLB.com citing a target of April 2026 while team coverage quoted David Stearns pointing to 2027.
- Team leaders framed the build as part of a wider development push that also includes new facilities in the Dominican Republic, with Stearns saying it will help cement the Mets as a preeminent development organization.
