Metro North Crossings' main tenant anchor, T-Shotz, is taking shape at the northeast corner of Highway 169 and NW Barry Road, the site of the recently demolished Metro North Mall.
Earlier this week the driving range netting and pole installation were installed and general contractor, B Dean Construction, began erecting structural steel this week for the 55,000 SF golf simulation complex.
“We are very excited to be a part of this project. T-Shotz will be an outstanding golf and entertainment destination for Metro North Crossing and the surrounding area," said Randy Dean, B Dean Construction partner and project manager.
T-Shotz will feature 66 climate-controlled, technology-enhanced hitting bays and suites on three levels where guests can eat, drink and socialize while overlooking the expansive 200-yard green-turfed target range.
Designed for all ages and skill levels, the new venue will differ from other golf entertainment complexes in a variety of ways, including:
Guests can “play” several famous golf courses, play unique golf games and compete on target golf games from their hitting bay as their golf shots are projected to both a high-definition monitor and television displaying games, courses or targets.
Experienced golfers will enjoy advanced golf ball tracking technology (the same golf professionals use) and get real-time data on every swing, including club-head speed, spin-rate and distance.
T-Shotz will include two restaurant/bar venues. Both restaurants will offer local farm-to-market comfort food and shareables, with the top-level venue having an added oyster bar and lounge area.
More than 125 high-definition televisions will broadcast sports programming, making T-Shotz the hub for sports and entertainment viewing in the Metro.
T-Shotz will offer dedicated special event and private event spaces for small to larger groups for corporate outings, tournaments, fundraisers, kids and teen parties and more.
“T-Shotz will provide an entertaining atmosphere to compliment the redevelopment’s retail, other entertainment and upscale contemporary apartments. With enticing food and beverage, and outstanding service, T-Shotz will attract more than just golfers,” said David Horn, project manager for Metro North Crossing Redevelopment.
The grand opening for T-Shotz is scheduled for the Spring of 2020.
Vertical construction of a 249-unit luxury apartment complex will also begin this Spring and will include 30,000 SF of boutique retail and restaurant space. The final phase of the apartments is expected to be complete by 2021.
