NEW ORLEANS — A new Topgolf location is slated to come to New Orleans in 2025.
On Wednesday, the Ernest N. Morial New Orleans Exhibition Hall Authority allowed President Jerry Reyes to negotiate an amendment to the Master Development Agreement with River District Neighborhood Investors, LLC (RDNI) to allow the prospective developers to bring Topgolf to the new River District neighborhood- adjacent to the Convention Center- as soon as January 2025.
“We are thrilled with today’s announcement about adding Topgolf as an entertainment anchor tenant for this dynamic new neighborhood,” said Reyes, "Our vision has always been for this mixed use development to encompass entertainment, housing and hospitality. This project advances that plan, and it does so while respecting our commitment to the inclusion of workforce and affordable housing units.”
Topgolf's parent company is expected to cover around $40 million related to the new project.
“Our partnership with Topgolf kicks off just the type of inclusive fun everyone can enjoy, while helping our vision for the River District come alive,” said Louis Lauricella, comanaging member of RDNI. “Today’s announcement marks exciting progress in our master development of a one-of-its-kind opportunity for residents and visitors to work, play and stay along the Mississippi River.”
The prospective Topgolf location will be near Tchoupitoulas and Race Streets. Construction on the facility is expected to begin in November.
