Leading commercial property consultancy Legat Owen is pleased to announce the successful letting of Unit 1 at Matrix Court, Chester to Padel Sheds, marking a major milestone as the city welcomes its first fully indoor padel centre.
Located on Sovereign Way, within Chester’s prime employment zone, the 12,105 sq ft modern warehouse has been transformed into four world-class indoor padel courts, modern changing areas, stylish coffee bar and spectator gallery. The launch marks a significant moment for Chester’s leisure scene, bringing one of the world’s fastest-growing sports to a new audience.
Mark Diaper, Director at Legat Owen, commented:
“We’re thrilled to have secured this letting to Padel Sheds. Their vision has turned a modern warehouse into a destination venue, showcasing how industrial space can be successfully reimagined for leisure and community use. It’s an exciting addition to Chester’s leisure offering.”
Padel Sheds Chester officially opened in early September and is already proving popular with players of all levels, having already welcomed over 4,000 visitors.
James Doak, Chief Executive of Padel Sheds, commented:
“From day one, we wanted to create more than just padel courts – we wanted to build a true padel destination and community, a place where people come together and connect through padel.”
“By breathing life into an unused warehouse, we’ve given Chester a facility that’s completely protected from the UK weather, ensuring padel can be enjoyed all year round. The response has far exceeded our expectations, and the incredible demand shows there’s a real appetite for padel in this region. We’re now focused on expanding rapidly, with plans to open 30 new venues over the next five years.”
Located just one mile from Chester city centre, the site benefits from excellent transport links, making it easily accessible for players across the region.
