Alma Padel

PROJECT DETAILS

Project Overview
Alma Padel partnered with Blue Water Builders to convert a 28,000 SF former distribution warehouse into a premier athletic facility—bringing the fast-growing sport of padel to Chicago’s North Suburbs. The project blends high-performance court design with modern clubhouse amenities to deliver a unique indoor sports and social experience.

Project Highlights

• Demolition of a structural steel and masonry mezzanine.

• Full gut renovation of the existing office area into a clubhouse featuring a reception area, retail zone, café, locker rooms, and a club room.

• Sport court area outfitted with professional-grade padel courts, specialty lighting, warm-up zones, and a lounge bar.

• Designer-selected finishes and custom lighting integrated throughout the space.

Court installation required precision coordination with international vendors and specialty installers to meet strict surface and performance standards. Close attention to finish quality and sequencing was essential to support both the aesthetic and functional goals of the facility.  This project reflects Blue Water’s ability to deliver complex, design-driven spaces on schedule, while fostering seamless collaboration across multiple teams and vendors.
