A large industrial space in St. Pete\u2019s burgeoning Warehouse Arts District is being transformed into a massive 45,000-square-foot urban country club featuring 14 pickleball courts, a private social club, multiple bars, and more.<\/p>\n

Construction is underway on St. Pete Athletic Paddle & Social<\/a> at 680 28th Street South, inside The Factory<\/a>, a 90,000-square-foot arts and culture hub along the Pinellas Trail.<\/p>\n

First announced in 2024<\/a>, St. Pete Athletic is the brainchild of serial entrepreneur Reuben Pressman, founder of Presence, which sold to Modern Campus in 2021; Graham D\u2019Amico, owner of Major League Pickleball\u2019s Florida Smash<\/a>; Jarrett Sabatini, owner of Intermezzo Coffee & Cocktails<\/a> and Bar Mezzo<\/a>; and Nathan Stonecipher, owner of Green Bench Brewing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The club, which was designed by local firm Wannemacher Jensen Architects<\/a>, aims to go far beyond a typical indoor pickleball facility. In addition to pickleball, padel, table tennis, and billiards, St. Pete Athletic will feature a 6,000-square-foot social club, saunas, cold plunges, a gym, a coffee shop, and three distinct bars, including a members-only option.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A large industrial space in St. Pete\u2019s burgeoning Warehouse Arts District is being transformed into a massive 45,000-square-foot…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":12081,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[202,204,203,199,201,200],"class_list":["post-12080","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-st-petersburg","tag-st-pete","tag-st-pete-headlines","tag-st-pete-news","tag-st-petersburg","tag-st-petersburg-headlines","tag-st-petersburg-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12080","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12080"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12080\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12081"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12080"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12080"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12080"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
