Yesterday the Charlotte City Council voted unanimously to invest $65 million of public funds to help build a massive new tennis complex on the west side of the city.
West Charlotte’s new River District development aims to transform the area into a bustling hub of activity and community. Spanning approximately 1,400 acres along the scenic Catawba River, the River District encompasses a diverse range of residential, commercial, and recreational spaces, creating a dynamic environment for residents and visitors alike.
Project Breakpoint would build a sprawling tennis campus in the heart of the River District that would feature at least 30 total tennis courts, including a 15,000-seat center court, 5 match courts, and numerous practice facilities.
The Project Break Point developers have set their sights on hosting the esteemed Western & Southern Open, one of tennis’ most prestigious tournaments, at the proposed 50-acre stadium and campus by 2026. They also plan to host over 50 additional tournaments, ranging from collegiate to junior and lower levels, along with an array of concerts, festivals, and corporate events.
What do you think about the new project?
