Topgolf announced Wednesday it is "actively pursuing" Albuquerque for a new location.
The popular Texas-based sports entertainment company wants to open at the southwest corner of Montano Road and Interstate 25, with the intention to lease the land from Albuquerque Investors LLC, the company said in a news release. The facility would sit on 14.4 acres.
It is aiming for a spring 2019 opening, pending city approval.
Business First reported in 2016 that Albuquerque had made Topgolf's short list.
Topgolf projects creating 325 full- and part-time jobs at the Albuquerque location. The company is planning for a three-level space with 1,500 square feet of private event space and 72 climate-controlled hitting bays.
The global company, known for combining technology and entertainment, generates $300 million in revenue from 8 million customers, Financial Times reported in 2016.
