Realising opportunities in sports, leisure and hospitality
Multi-billion-dollar investments are being made in sporting, leisure and hospitality venues annually, as the experience economy continues its global growth. Our sports, leisure and lifestyle capabilities are helping clients deliver new and upgraded assets they need to meet increasing consumer demand while generating return on investment. Today’s sporting and cultural and venues and destinations must enable not only short-term success but an enduring positive legacy.
There are many challenges to delivering projects and programmes in the sector. Our leisure and entertainment expertise helps navigate these complexities.Alongside investors and developers, projects must consider many stakeholders, including concession vendors, advertisers, sponsors, promoters, third-party lessees and the visiting public.
As projects are often linked to major events, delivery timescales can be critical, with delays having the potential to compromise commercial and revenue opportunities.
