Deal signed to construct new Wuhan Topgolf venue
Sports Entertainment AsiaH.K. Limited (SEAL) - the official franchisee of Topgolf China and Wuhan Hanyang District – on Tuesday signed a strategic cooperation for the construction of a Topgolf venue in Wuhan. The agreement incorporates a blueprint for the venue which pledges to offer affordable and accessible sports entertainment to the people of Wuhan regardless of age or ability.
SEALChina CEO Nicolas Chapin signed the investment cooperation agreement with Hanyang District Business Bureau and the lease framework agreement with Wuhan Tanda Engineering Project Management Co., Ltd. The relevant leaders of Wuhan Municipal Bureau of Commerce and the principal responsible persons of Hanyang District Committee and District Government of the Communist Party of China were also in attendance.
Topgolf Wuhan will be adjacent to Longyang Lake Area. The three-level venue will offer 102 hitting bays, each equipped with equipment and microchip technology balls. Through a series of games such as Top Score, Jewel Jam and Angry Birds, these bays can be used by up to six players. There will also be two restaurants serving Chinese and Pan-Asian cuisines, an outdoor children's area, a multifunction hall and a terrace. It is expected to open in October 2024.
"Since its establishment in the UK 23 years ago, Topgolf has grown into a global leader in sports entertainment, aiming to create dynamic and diversified sports venues. The construction of Topgolf Wuhan will open a new chapter for us in Central China," said Nicolas Chapin, CEO of SEALChina.
"Topgolf is looking forward to continuing to partner with new communities throughout China. Players of all ages are welcome to explore and experience this kind of sports entertainment regardless of skill level. We are dedicated to creating sports venues which all Chinese consumers can participate in and enjoy. It's an honor to be part of Wuhan's story and we look forward to our mutual future together with the city and people of Wuhan."
"The Wuhan venue will showcase a contemporary design and space that is integrated in the overall planning of Longyang Lake Area - which not only conforms to the concept of a healthy lifestyle, but also ingeniously integrates many Chinese elements," said Zhao Zhao, vice-president of Project Delivery of SEAL China. "The architectural landscape emphasizes the natural beauty of the mountains and rivers found in Wuhan. In addition, the musical score of natural streams amplifies the beautiful and harmonious coexistence between man and nature."
