In a brief Bay Area real estate update, Austin Klar reports that Bay Paddle, a popular pickleball and paddle tennis club, is expanding its footprint in San Francisco with two new court complexes. At Pier 70, a surface parking lot will be converted into ten courts—six for pickleball and four for paddle tennis—alongside a new lounge area, all under a five‑year lease, with immersive event spaces slated to open next year. On Treasure Island, the Hangar 3 site will receive six courts—four pickleball and two paddle—part of a strategy to activate underutilized space while larger development projects are paused as the broader San Francisco market recovers. Klar emphasizes that these additions are a welcome, popular amenity for the community and encourages viewers to share the news and follow him for more Bay Area real estate insights.

Pickleball and paddle tennis are continuing their takeover of San Francisco. Bay Paddle, which is a popular pickleball and tennis club in San Francisco, recently announced that it's expanding its presence with 10 new courts at Pier 70 and 6 new courts at Treasure Island. The 10 new courts at Pier 70 are taking over a surface parking lot area and will be comprised of 6 pickleball courts and 4 paddle courts. And the 6 coming to Treasure Island's Hangar 3 will be 4 pickleball courts and 2 paddle courts. At Pier 70, the lease for the new courts and accompanying new lounge space will be 5 years. Similar timeframe for the new immersive event spaces coming to Pier 70 slated open next year. The developer there has paused a lot of the development at the site as the market— San Francisco broadly— continues to recover, but is working on activating underutilized areas on their site so that they can at least generate some income and get use out of it in the meantime, including with these new courts and event spaces. These are a welcome addition to the area, and I have no doubt they're going to be just as popular as the existing courts. Share this with your pickleball and paddle tennis partners and follow me for more Bay Area real estate.
