Cincinnati Open Lindner Family Tennis Center

The Cincinnati Open, one of the most prestigious tournaments in professional tennis, held annually at the Lindner Family Tennis Center in Mason, Ohio, is setting a new standard for tournament environments on the global stage.

Designed by Gensler and built by general contractor Barton Malow, the multi-phase project enhances the fan journey and player experience. From state-of-the-art courts to expansive hospitality spaces, every element has been designed to strengthen the overall tournament experience.

At the heart of the redesign is the new player campus, strategically planned to maximize comfort, performance, and community. For spectators, widened concourses, improved sightlines, and shaded gathering spaces make navigating between matches both easier and more enjoyable.

Zahner provided design assist, engineering, and fabrication for the striking new stadium facades. These facades feature white powder-coated, precision-crafted aluminum panels, delivering both durability and distinctive visual character. Working closely with Gensler, Barton Malow, and installation contractor Liberty Sheet Metal, Zahner engineers, designers, and project managers ensured constructability, performance, and aesthetic intent standards were met.

Sustainability was a key consideration throughout the project. Energy efficiency, water conservation, and material recyclability reflect the tournament’s commitment to environmental stewardship.

With its thoughtful blend of heritage and innovation, the new Cincinnati Open campus delivers more than simply world-class tennis, it offers an immersive, unforgettable sports and entertainment experience.
