ickleball has become a popular
pastime in America over the last
few years. Real estate developers
nationwide have been adding courts to their projects and players have been building courts at home.
Next up is Padel, now the fastest growing sport in the U.S. and courts are being offered as the new hot amenity at luxury residential developments. Padel is played on a court similar in size to a pickleball court, but has walls that can be used in play, like racquetball and squash.
Padel was born in Mexico and expanded to the Middle East, Asia and Europe. It is finally gaining traction in the U.S. as a fast-paced, social sport requiring athleticism. Padel courts have been popping up across America, especially in NYC and Miami. It's attracting top professional athletes as both players and investors. David Beckham and Dwayne Wade invested in Reserve Padel, which has pop-up facilities in both Manhattan and on Watson Island in Miami.
