A company dedicated to the sport & leisure phenomenon that is ‘padel’ is set to open its first courts in Lincolnshire this month following the letting of premises at Bishops Trade Park in Lincoln by Eddisons incorporating Banks Long & Co, to Vida del padel.

The Lincoln property agency acted as sole agent under instruction in the letting of Unit C4, which totals 10,070 sq ft. It was the final unit available to let at the flagship Bishops Trade Park commercial scheme.

Vida del padel is bringing padel - which, globally, is the fastest growing sporting pursuit and, in Spain, the number two participation sport - to Lincolnshire for the first time in formal courts in a dedicated unit after a search for the right premises and county location that has lasted over a year.

The unit at Bishops Trade Park, just north of the historic city centre on Lincoln’s Outer Circle Road, scored well with Vida del padel in fulfilling a number of the operator’s criteria.

Ross Carlin, Director, Vida del padel, explains, “In location terms, Lincoln holds a demographic attraction. Not only does it have a vibrant retail and leisure scene in the city centre, boosted by a university cohort, but there is an advantageous reach of population within a 30 to 45 minute drive.

“While Unit C at Bishops Trade Park scored in terms of customer accessibility and parking too, internally, the layout of the unit also offered us carte blanche to have the padel court layouts we want.

“Our unit has a really good eaves height for clearance. Padel is, conventionally a sport played by doubles and so the size of the new premises lends itself to us having two full size padel courts and, in addition, what will be the UK’s first singles padel court.”

Speaking about the property agency’s latest commercial letting, William Wall, Director, Eddisons incorporating Banks Long & Co, said, “In taking its place at Bishops Trade Park alongside high profile trade counter and retail brands such as MKM, Screwfix and Toolstation, Vida del padel certainly brings a different kind of occupier offering.

“As Lincolnshire’s first, dedicated, formal padel courts, it’s an exciting offer and we’ve been pleased to play our part in putting padel on the local map.”

Vida del padel opens its courts at Unit C Bishops Trade Park, Lincoln on 31 August and will be undertaking a high profile, county-wide promotional launch campaign in the coming weeks.
