Tennis legend Andre Agassi has formed a partnership with luxury destination club Exclusive Resorts.
Together, Exclusive Resorts and Agassi Graf Development LLC announced plans to co-develop luxury resort real estate, design Agassi-Graf Tennis and Fitness Centres, and enhance the tennis and fitness experiences for Exclusive Resorts members as they travel the world.
Agassi Graf Development LLC is a real-estate development company focused on the creation of luxury, resort and lifestyle-oriented offerings in partnership with the industry’s leading developers and brands.
The Agassi - Exclusive Resorts partnership has four major components including plans to develop new resort communities where state-of-the-art tennis and fitness facilities are central amenities. Exclusive Resorts plans to develop homes in these new communities. There are plans to set up Agassi-Graf Tennis and Fitness Centres, designed to enhance the vacation experience for Exclusive Resorts members.
Agassi will also become a senior advisor to the company, helping it to develop its tennis and fitness programmes for members, while also consulting on destination selection and facility design. Agassi will provide a newsletter for Exclusive Resorts members about enhancing tennis and fitness activities for their families.
Exclusive Resorts will use the early 2007 grand opening of its flagship members-only Poro-Poro resort in Peninsula Papagayo, Costa Rica, as a benefit for the Agassi Foundation. Selected Foundation donors will have the opportunity to meet and play tennis with Andre Agassi and Stefanie Graf at Poro Poro, get tennis tips from them, and offer their support for the Foundation’s vital initiatives.
