A 2-acre padel club is set to open at a planned $2 billion mixed-use development in Midtown Miami, which developers say will be the largest padel venue in the United States. Ultra Padel’s Ultra Club Midtown pop-up will feature 11 outdoor courts, three children’s courts, a food and beverage concept, and community programming. The opening is expected in December.
The Midtown Park project is being developed by Carlos Rosso’s Rosso Development and Alex Vadia’s Midtown Development on a nearly 5-acre site at 3055 North Miami Avenue. The first phase includes the 28-story, 288-unit Midtown Park Residences by Proper condo tower with 40,000 square feet of amenities. Proper Hospitality from Santa Monica is partnering on the project.
Ultra Club Midtown will initially open as a pop-up on part of the vacant land designated for the second phase of development. When that phase is complete, Ultra Padel plans to operate a permanent eight-court Racquet & Padel Club at Midtown Park. Guillermo Barragan leads Ultra Padel, which also has facilities in Aventura and Little Haiti.
