Ground was broken Aug. 3 and construction has begun on a new state-of-the-art golf entertainment facility near The Landing in Renton.<\/p>\n
The Topgolf <\/a>facility<\/a>, 780 Logan Ave. N., will be a driving range arcade-like entertainment center meant to serve the entire Seattle-Puget Sound Region.<\/p>\n Getting the project started has been a “long road coming,” according to Tanner Micheli, Topgolf director of real estate development, who worked with city planners and officials to get to the point of initial construction.<\/p>\n After years of planning and design, Micheli said “there were times [they] weren’t quite sure [they] were gonna get this thing done.”<\/p>\n He said the design process for the facility utilized many iterations and redesigns but compromised that this Topgolf facility will be the first of its kind.<\/p>\n According to the Topgolf website, the Renton facility will include climate-controlled hitting bays, full-service restaurants and bars, a rooptop terrace with a firepit and private meeting spaces.<\/p>\n Renton Mayor Armondo Pavone said this project represents a symbolic post-pandemic “rebirth,” for the community as it continues to grow and adds amenities for the entire Puget Sound region.<\/p>\n Construction is expected to be completed in a year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Puget Sound’s first Topgolf is promised to be unlike any other in the country. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":849,"featured_media":51062,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,6],"tags":[],"yst_prominent_words":[],"class_list":["post-51061","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-home","category-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51061"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/849"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=51061"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51061\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/51062"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51061"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=51061"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=51061"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=51061"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
