Denholtz Properties announced that it has signed a lease with Pickleball Kingdom, located at 1100 Negron Drive in Hamilton, New Jersey, for the entire building, 40,500 square feet.
Scheduled for completion in 2023, 1100 Negron Drive is a 40,500 square foot, single-story flex/industrial building featuring 26-foot-high ceilings. The property is strategically located less than a quarter mile from the intersection of Interstate 195 and Route 130 and one mile from Exit 7A on the New Jersey Turnpike, providing excellent access to the Philadelphia and New York City metropolitan areas via nearby Interstates 95 and 295.
The building is a key part of Denholtz Properties' New Jersey light industrial development portfolio, which also includes 110 North Gold Drive, a 32,147 square foot industrial building currently under construction in Robbinsville, New Jersey, and 245 Willowbrook Road, a 101,116 square foot industrial property in Freehold, New Jersey, which broke ground earlier this year.
Founded in 2021 by CEO Ace Rodriguez, Pickleball Kingdom is the leading pickleball court franchisor in the U.S. In partnership with entrepreneur and franchisee Samrat “Sam” Sood, Pickleball Kingdom will build an expansive 14-court pickleball facility at 1100 Negron Drive, complete with conference rooms, meeting areas, lounges, ample parking and a mezzanine level overlooking the courts. The facility is scheduled to open this fall.
“Pickleball has become one of the most popular sports in the country over the last few years,” said Sood. “This incredible facility will be the hub of Hamilton's vibrant pickleball community, bringing camaraderie and unforgettable experiences to veteran players and newcomers alike.”
Chris Hurlbut, senior vice president of leasing for Denholtz Properties, added, “This lease demonstrates the continued high demand in today's market for adaptable properties like 1100 Negron Drive. We look forward to welcoming Pickleball Kingdom to Hamilton and watching the residents of Central New Jersey come together through this facility.”
