𝑭𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝑵𝒊𝒄𝒉𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝑯𝒖𝒃: 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑹𝒊𝒔𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝑴𝒖𝒍𝒕𝒊-𝑨𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝑪𝒐𝒎𝒑𝒍𝒆𝒙𝒆𝒔 The indoor sports and leisure market has experienced rapid growth in recent years, driven by rising demand for entertainment and recreational activities. This market spans a wide range of offerings, from indoor sports like soccer, padel, and climbing to leisure activities such as bowling, laser games, and karting. According to market studies, households are increasingly prioritizing spending on experiences and outings over traditional durable goods. In this context, indoor multi-activity complexes are emerging as major players in transforming the entertainment landscape. Centers like Imaginapark, Hall U Need, and speedpark are strategically establishing themselves within major cities and shopping malls to attract high foot traffic. While specialized brands like UrbanSoccer and Climb Up dominate specific niches, multi-leisure hubs consolidate diverse activities under one roof, offering a comprehensive entertainment experience. This trend is reflected in the M&A landscape, with significant funding rounds and private equity partnerships. In 2024, for instance, Bpifrance and PICARDIE INVESTISSEMENT invested €4 million in Hall U Need to support its growth and the opening of two new centers in Paris and Lyon. Backed by strong investors and a proven business model, players like Hall U Need are well-positioned to expand their reach in France and beyond, redefining how people engage with entertainment.

We treat stadiums like disposable razors—use, toss, and rebuild. 20-30 years. That’s the average lifespan of a modern sports stadium. Think about it—structures that cost billions of dollars are being built, used for a few decades, and then demolished or abandoned. We call them monuments of progress, but are they really? Instead of creating lasting legacies, we’re building disposable arenas. The environmental impact? Massive. The financial cost? Unsustainable. What if we shifted the focus? ➡️ Can we design stadiums that adapt to future needs? ➡️ What about making them more sustainable and community-driven? ➡️ And why not prioritize multi-purpose use to maximize their value? Sports inspire billions, and their infrastructure should reflect that vision—not just for today but for generations to come. Let’s rethink what “lasting impact” truly means in sports.

What’s the point of billion-dollar arenas if they’re ghost towns 70% of the time? Sports facilities worldwide are underutilized during non-peak hours. From massive stadiums to local grounds, these spaces often sit idle when they could be bustling with activity, creating opportunities for communities and generating revenue. But why does this happen? 1️⃣ Lack of multi-purpose design. 2️⃣ Limited community engagement. 3️⃣ High operational costs that deter frequent use. It’s time to rethink sports infrastructure as dynamic hubs, not static showpieces. Imagine- 1️⃣ Hosting educational programs, fitness classes, or community events. 2️⃣ Offering affordable access for grassroots sports initiatives. 3️⃣ Partnering with local businesses to repurpose these spaces creatively. Every empty seat and quiet field is a missed opportunity—for growth, for connection, for impact. Let’s turn these “ghost towns” into thriving centers of activity. What’s your take? How can we better utilize sports facilities? 🤔 ASCELA | ASCELA Middle East | ASCELA Singapore Follow Sahib Thakur for more content :) #sportsinfrastructure #communityImpact #futureofsports #ascela #advisors #sportsadvisory

#ClientCaseStudy: TEQBALL, the Hungarian-founded sport, picks up global traction and kicks its game up a notch at CTPark Budapest West. ⛹️♂️ In 2021, TEQBALL came to us seeking a multifaceted solution. 📈 They needed to keep up with rapid growth. Just ten years old, this sport is already aiming to be in the Olympics, meaning the world needs more TEQBALL tables to keep up with popularity and they needed footprint expansion potential. 🧩 They sought to consolidate their operations — production, logistics and office — in one location with unique requirements like temperature controls, extra energy capacity, and additional gates and fire doors. 🗺️ The location, of course, was paramount. They needed easy commuting for employees, along with smart proximity to the city and other markets for optimised business operations. We provided a tailored answer to all these challenges at CTPark Budapest West in a 10,460 sqm facility.  ↔️ Less than two years later, we provided them with a seamless 4,000 expansion within the same building. 💚 Sustainability is integrated throughout this real estate solution.

Miklós Bagdi, Senior Facility Manager: “Teqball is a longstanding and valued tenant with whom we have built a strong partnership over the years. We continuously adapt to their unique needs, always offering the most suitable solutions while keeping sustainability in focus.” We look forward to more happy cooperation with them! And maybe even a match at the CTP-branded TEQBALL they gifted us which can be found at CTPark Budapest for everyone to use.

Sustainable Technology In Sports Infrastructure - Harnessing Solar Power for Eco-Friendly Games The electrifying atmosphere of a night game under the stadium lights is a hallmark of many sporting events. But what if that power came from a source cleaner than fossil fuels? Solar energy is emerging as a game-changer, illuminating the path towards sustainable sports infrastructure. Solar panels capture the sun's energy and convert it into electricity. For sports venues with ample rooftop space, this presents a tremendous opportunity to generate clean, renewable energy. Benefits of Solar Power in Sports: ☀ Reduced Carbon Footprint: By relying less on traditional power sources, solar energy significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions associated with stadium operations. 💲 Long-Term Cost Savings: The initial investment in solar panels can be offset by the long-term savings on electricity bills, leading to greater financial sustainability. ⚽ Positive Brand Image: Embracing renewable energy demonstrates a commitment to environmental responsibility, strengthening a venue's image and attracting eco-conscious fans. Solar Power in Action: Several prominent sports venues around the world are already reaping the benefits of solar power. Examples include: 👉 Mercedes-Benz Stadium (Atlanta): Features a massive solar panel installation that generates enough power to meet a significant portion of the stadium's energy needs. 👉 Yankee Stadium (New York): Utilizes solar panels strategically placed throughout the ballpark, contributing to their overall sustainability efforts. To Conclude: Solar power offers a bright future for sustainable sports venues. As technology continues to improve and costs decrease, we can expect to see even wider adoption of this clean energy source, ensuring a more sustainable future for the games we love.
