Padel is booming. So are the expensive mistakes
Permits that stall
A building too low
Numbers that break
Too many hands
Padel is louder than tennis. One neighbor complaint or the wrong zoning category can freeze a project for a year or more, often after the lease is signed.
Many warehouses are too low for an indoor court without costly roof works. Most owners find out after they have committed to the site.
Optimistic occupancy, forgotten costs, no ramp-up. Lenders spot it in minutes, and your cash flow will feel it in year one.
An advisor, a court supplier and a builder, each answerable for their own slice. When the opening slips, there is nobody to call.
