**Nicholas Family of Companies Opens $34.5M Rosemont Ice Arena**

The Nicholas Family of Companies, in partnership with the Village of Rosemont, has officially opened the Rosemont Ice Arena—a state-of-the-art, $34.5 million indoor skating facility located just outside of Chicago.

Spanning 103,000 square feet, the new arena serves as the practice home for the Chicago Wolves. “This facility offers a template for future projects and demonstrates what can be accomplished through a strong public-private partnership,” said Nick Papanicholas Jr., CEO and Managing Director of the Nicholas Family of Companies.

The Rosemont Ice Arena is the first of three planned ice arena developments by the Nicholas Family of Companies in the Chicago area. The firm is also behind the new 86,261-square-foot Elk Grove Ice Arena and recently acquired the 63,000-square-foot Glacier Ice Arena in Vernon Hills.

Constructed by Nicholas & Associates and designed by ARCON Associates, Inc., the Rosemont facility will be operated by the Nicholas Family of Companies’ own Spectate Group. Spectate Group also manages the Nicholas Sportsplex, a 17-acre indoor-outdoor sports complex located in Mount Prospect.
