ASM Global, a venue management and services company, and Port San Antonio have announced the initial timeline for the construction of a $60 million (£46.2 million) facility.
The 130,000-square-foot complex includes a 2,500-seat, multi-purpose technology arena that will have an emphasis on esports.
Upon completion in 2022, the venue is slated to be one of the most versatile in ASM’s portfolio of more than 325 facilities worldwide. Construction on the facility will begin this month, with completion scheduled for early 2022.
Also included in the development project is a “24-hour LAN Gaming Center,” serving as a destination for gaming access and events, and also a community gathering space for the general public.
