North American Properties (NAP) and CBRE Global Investors, in partnership with USTA Southern and USTA, announced Sunday the dedication of four tennis courts located in Atlantic Station to the City of Atlanta. The courts will give residents of metro Atlanta the opportunity to play tennis in the heart of Midtown.
At the conclusion of the BB&T Atlanta Open, a weeklong tennis tournament in Midtown Atlanta’s Atlantic Station, Mark Toro, managing partner at NAP, officially announced the dedication of the tennis courts to the City of Atlanta’s Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR). The DPR will now manage and maintain the courts.
The four courts used during the US Open Series’ BB&T Atlanta Open were constructed in Atlantic Station in partnership with USTA Southern and USTA for the tournament. The residents of metro Atlanta will soon have the opportunity to play on the same courts used by ATP World Tour players such as John Isner and Andy Roddick.
