"The 2025 U.S. Open tennis tournament comes to a close this weekend, and change is afoot for future events. That's because the United States Tennis Association (USTA), the organization in charge of running the year's final major tournament in Queens, New York, announced in May that it's launched an $800 million self-funded "transformation" to the grounds. The organization released new renderings of the plans for its luxury suites, which it shared with Fortune."
"The incoming Bunker Suites, according to the USTA, will allow fans to "experience the best of both worlds, with seats only a few rows from the court and a private indoor lounge a short walk away via a private walkway."

The architecture firm ROSSETTI, which helped with prior renovations, is leading the design initiative."
The USTA launched an $800 million self-funded transformation of the U.S. Open grounds focused on luxury upgrades and improved athlete amenities. Arthur Ashe Stadium will receive new courtside and suite levels, and a four-story player center will be constructed to provide athletes space to relax between matches. Renovations will occur in three phases: preparatory structural work and initial player center floors, removal and replacement of existing courtside and suite levels after this year's tournament, and completion of the player center plus a new stadium entrance aimed for the 2027 tournament. ROSSETTI leads the design effort and the USTA expects enhanced networking and hospitality opportunities in the new luxury spaces.
