Goodland Pickleball Takes 30K SF for New Indoor Clubs in Brooklyn, Queens

Indoor pickleball club operator Goodland Pickleball has secured two new club locations in New York City, Commercial Observer has learned.
The long-term leases span a total of 30,100 square feet within Class A buildings in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and Rego Park, Queens. Goodland, which secured its first indoor New York City club in Brooklyn’s Greenpoint neighborhood in 2024, reports more than 11,000 members across the city.
Goodland’s Williamsburg lease, located at Rabsky Group’s 105 North 13th Street, is slated to become its new flagship location. Spanning 14,600 square feet, the club will feature four courts across two floors with 20-foot ceilings, as well as a private fifth-floor court, an outdoor terrace and a sushi bar.
The Williamsburg site attracted competition from multiple pickleball operators, Hemant Chavan, founder and CEO of Goodland Pickleball, told CO. Chavan called the site “a needle in a haystack,” estimating that fewer than two dozen indoor spaces suited to pickleball’s lofty space needs exist in the city.
Goodland declined to provide the asking rent, but asking retail rents along Bedford Avenue’s nearby North Eighth and North 12th streets corridor averaged $245 per square foot in the latter half of 2025, according to the Real Estate Board of New York (the most recent data available).
Goodland represented itself in both lease deals, the second of which landed Goodland 15,500 square feet at RB Realty Capital’s 98-22 Queens Boulevard in Rego Park. The location will accommodate six courts, including a badminton court.
Recent asking rents for Queens retail spaces averaged $42.47 per square foot, according to data from CommercialCafe.
Both of Goodland’s new sites belong to Class A buildings. Chavan said Goodland is the first company in the city to operate indoor pickleball courts inside such assets.
“Most indoor pickleball courts are in warehouses, and a lot of these warehouses are not prime locations,” Chavan told CO.
Both locations are slated to open in late 2026 or early 2027. Future locations are currently in the pipeline, Chavan said.
A spokesperson for RB Realty Capital did not respond to a request for comment, while Rabsky Group could not be reached for comment.
