7,600-seater tennis arena planned for Kuwait
Plans for a state-of-the-art 7,600-seater tennis stadium have been revealed as part of the expansion of the US$4bn (€3.6bn, £2.7bn) 360 Mall in Kuwait.
The Sheikh Jaber Al Abdullah Sabah Tennis Complex will embed the seats across two main arenas within the stadium, which will also include eight indoor and eight outdoor courts.
The facility is part of plans to expand the 360 Mall, based in the Kuwait town of Al Zahra, which already houses a cinema complex, 38 restaurants, cafes and sports and leisure facilities, as well as the largest collection of international designer brands in the country.
Developer, the Tamdeen Group, has partnered with the Hyatt Hotels Corporation on the 390,000sq ft (120,000sq m) expansion which also includes the building of the 261-room Hyatt Hotel.
Expected to open in 2020, the stadium will be open to Hyatt guests and used by the Kuwait Tennis Federation.
“We look forward to welcoming guests to Grand Hyatt Kuwait, where they will be able to experience the innovative design, dramatic architecture and superior service for which the Grand Hyatt brand is known,” said Hyatt executive Peter Norman.
“Kuwait is increasingly becoming a major gateway city, so we are delighted to bring the Grand Hyatt brand to this global business and cultural hub.”
