The biggest padel club in the country is coming to Miami
Take a seat, pickleball: Global sensation padel is coming to Miami. Padel, in case you've somehow missed the global racket, is the world's fastest-growing sport. It's a breezier, more social cousin of tennis that's charmed everyone from European pros to weekend warriors. Now, Rosso Development and Midtown Development are teaming with ULTRA Padel to launch ULTRA Club Midtown, set to be the largest padel club in the U.S. Ahead of that permanent project, a pop-up version will debut first, featuring 11 outdoor courts for adults, three more just for kids, and a food-and-drinks spot to keep you fueled between games. There will also be community programming baked into the mix, because padel isn't just about playing. It's about hanging out, connecting and soaking in the scene. 'Bringing in ULTRA Padel enhances our vision to create vibrant, healthy, and activated public spaces,' Carlos Rosso, founder & CEO of Rosso Development, said in a statement. 'We are proud to partner with a pioneering brand that truly understands the intersection of wellness, community, and lifestyle.' Whether you've never held a padel racket or you're ready for the pro tour, ULTRA Club Midtown is designed to make you feel like you belong on the court. The pop-up padel paradise will be situated right where a $2 billion Midtown Park development is slated to emerge. Think of it as a temporary amuse-bouche before the full-course feast of the two-acre stretch of state-of-the-art courts and amenities dropped into Miami's most connected neighborhood. The master plan for Midtown Park includes enough lush green spaces, pedestrian-friendly paseos, luxury residences, gourmet dining, high-end retail and public art to make even Wynwood jealous. At the center of it all will be Midtown Park Residences by Proper, a 28-story tower with 288 luxury units and enough amenities to convince you to quit your gym membership forever. Among the perks will be a permanent, eight-court Racquet & Padel Club, a tropical pool deck, a restaurant and bar, spa, a yoga and meditation garden, virtual golf and a communal vegetable garden. And yes, even a pickleball court for those not ready to get on the padel train. ULTRA Club Midtown isn't just introducing Miami to padel—it's embedding the sport into the city. Your serve, pickleball.

Developers plan six-tower project for vacant Midtown lot
A long-vacant grass lot in Midtown is slated to become luxury condo towers and office space as part of a giant $2-billion development. Why it matters: The nearly 5-acre lot at 3055 North Miami Avenue is one of the largest undeveloped parcels in the neighborhood. Driving the news: The first phase of the six-tower project announced Wednesday by Proper Hospitality, Rosso Development and Midtown Development is a 28-story luxury condominium tower with prices as high as $2.7 million for a penthouse. Midtown Park Residences by Proper will include two public parks and walking paths totaling about 40,000 square feet, a spokesperson for the developers tells Axios. Zoom out: The 288-unit condo tower is part of a larger mixed-use project planned by Rosso Development and Midtown Development to feature four residential towers and two office buildings, per The Real Deal. The outlet reports it would include more than 120,000 square feet of retail space, a public racquet court and padel club, and a 25,000-square-foot gym. Developers will build two garages with over 1,000 parking spaces. The intrigue: Among quotes about the benefits of the project, Carlos Rosso told the Real Deal that Midtown is an attractive neighborhood for single women. "Women feel very comfortable in this type of environment," Rosso said. "You know what happens when single women pick a neighborhood? Single men follow." A spokesperson later clarified to Axios that Rosso meant the neighborhood's wide sidewalks, retail storefronts and greenery create an "inviting and safe environment where people interact throughout the day and night."
