Puttshack signed a new lease at Baltimore, MD’s Harbor East, a retail, dining, and entertainment center, the company’s first in the state, projected to open in late 2024.
The almost 25,000-square-foot space will feature three tech-driven nine-hole mini golf courses powered by the brand’s patented Trackaball technology, which keeps track of a player’s score.
“Harbor East is a bustling neighborhood filled with restaurants, shops, bars, and marinas, and we are thrilled to take this key step in adding Puttshack to this community of great entertainment attractions,” said Dave Diamond, president of Puttshack. “Our location in Baltimore will offer our innovative mini golf and diverse food and drink offerings to create an unforgettable competitive socializing experience for every future visitor.”
Puttshack will build the venue in the Whitney, a five-story mixed-use property developed by Chasen Companies, which holds historical value as the home to the Meyer Seed Company.
“Bringing Puttshack, a national entertainment brand, to Harbor East will provide a unique, unforgettable experience for residents, visitors and employees in the area,” said Drew Peace, COO of Chasen Companies. “This aligns with our overall vision for the community–creating incredible, modern spaces that support the growth of residences and retail in the heart of Baltimore City.
Puttshack has nine locations in the U.S., including Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Miami, Denver, Houston, Pittsburgh, Scottsdale, St. Louis, and four in the U.K. Puttshack plans to grow in Dallas, Nashville, projected to open in late 2023.
The Puttshack team continues its strategic expansion plans with its 2022 growth capital round of $150 million from funds managed by BlackRock, Inc. The capital will allow Puttshack to expand into more top markets across the U.S., invest in new technologies to enhance overall guest experience and follows a $60 million funding round from Promethean Investments in 2021.
