On April 13, the real estate development company Caliber (NASDAQ: CWD) and PURE Pickleball & Padel announced thatall building permits had been approved<\/strong>for the indoor pickleball and padel facility planned near Scottsdale, Arizona. A long process of about 900 days from permit application to approval was completed, clearing the last administrative hurdle toward groundbreaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once completed, it will be\"the world's largest dedicated indoor pickleball and padel facility.\"<\/strong>It aims to open in 2027 and is at the stage of advancing final financing for construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What PURE advocates is not a mere collection of courts but a \"fusion of sport, community, and lifestyle.\" The published facility plan includes the following amenities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Currently, facilities known as large-scale indoor pickleball venues in the U.S. include The Picklr (over 30 U.S. locations, roughly 8\u201316 courts each) and Pickleball Kingdom (Arizona-born, around 20 courts). PURE's scale of48 indoor courts + a 1,200-seat arena<\/strong>far exceeds these.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Adjoining 8 padel courts is also a differentiating factor. Padel is a racket sport combining elements of tennis and squash, growing rapidly in Europe and Latin America. In the U.S. too, the movement to adjoin padel to pickleball facilities has begun, and PURE becomes its largest-scale example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The facility is located within a Qualified Opportunity Zone (QOZ), and investment through a QOZ fund receives tax incentives. Caliber is conducting the fund's final offering for Accredited Investors and investment advisers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For general users,charter memberships<\/strong>are now being accepted. The perks are as follows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n PURE's concept was announced in 2024, with joint development advanced together with Caliber. The permit application was submitted in September 2025, but after hundreds of meetings including community hearings and design reviews, all permits were finally granted about 900 days later on April 13, 2026. Going forward, it will break ground after final construction financing, aiming to open in 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n PURE co-founder and CEO Kevin J. Berk declared powerfully, \"This moment is yours too. We'll make Scottsdale the world's new capital of pickleball and padel.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n Caliber CEO Chris Loeffler<\/strong>: \"PURE Pickleball & Padel embodies a unique fusion of sport, community, and lifestyle. It will fundamentally change the concept of a pickleball facility.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n ABC15 (Arizona local TV station)<\/strong>: Reported, \"The world's largest indoor pickleball facility comes to Arizona \u2014 the 196,000-sqft scale is off the charts.\" Local media interest is high<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pickleball community (Reddit)<\/strong>: \"48 courts + a 1,200-seat arena + 8 padel courts... this is more of a theme park than a sports facility. I want to work it into a winter Arizona trip.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n A scale of 196,000 square feet, 48 indoor courts, and a 1,200-seat arena overturns the conventional wisdom of pickleball facilities. With the building permit obtained, PURE Pickleball & Padel's plan has entered a concrete phase. When it opens in 2027, the area near Scottsdale looks set to be etched onto the world map as a major pickleball hub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Related articles:Rocklin, California, moves to break ground on a $2.9 million, 16-court dedicated pickleball complex<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Related articles:[Facility] Tempe, Arizona, doubles its pickleball courts \u2014 16 public courts have their grand opening<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nFacility data list<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
