Sports Hospitality Ventures LLC, the exclusive hotel and resorts licensee for the Sports Illustrated brand across North America and the Caribbean, and the Lagoon Development Company have formed a new joint venture to develop the Sports Illustrated Resort at Lago Mar in Texas City, TX.
“This partnership blends the dynamic energy of sports with the exceptional hospitality of Texas, creating a haven in the heart of the Lone Star State,” said Uri Man, founder/CEO, Lagoon Development.
The resort will stand nine stories tall and feature a total of 200 rooms. The resort’s accommodations will be diverse, with a range of floor plans catering to various preferences. Additionally, those opting for rooms with lagoon-side views will be treated to a vista of the 12-acre crystal-clear lagoon, the largest in Texas holding 24 million gallons of water.
The resort will also provide a number of amenities. It will be home to the Stadium Sports Grill and the Sports Illustrated Beach Club, which will offer beachside cabanas, resort services and a swim-up island bar.
“This location in Texas City is an exciting venture for us,” said Christopher Schroeder, CEO, Sports Hospitality Ventures LLC. “Texas sports, especially Houston sports, are integral to this state, and we are pleased to bring this resort to such a dedicated fan base.”
The new hotel will be managed by American Resort Management, which has a strategic partnership with SI Resorts.
“Sports Illustrated is one of the world’s most recognized brands, and we are proud to offer our luxury resort management services to this future property,” said Rick Coleman, founder/CEO, American Resort Management.
The groundbreaking ceremony is scheduled to take place in the third quarter.
