Sizable urban construction project (5)

I believe the answer is:

arena

(Other definitions for arena that I've seen before include "Sporting enclosure" , "Show ring" , "Stadium - battlefield" , "Area surrounded by seating, for sports, etc." , "Auditorium" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
