A FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND ATHLETIC COMPLEX BUILT FOR PERFORMANCE AND COMMUNITY

This 8,500-square-foot facility is the first of its kind in Puerto Rico. 

Designed and built by DEV Builders Group, the Pickleball Sport Center introduces a premium indoor venue specifically tailored to meet growing demand for pickleball, now one of the fastest-growing sports in the United States. 

From competitive play to corporate wellness programs, this project redefines what’s possible for recreational infrastructure on the island.

THE CHALLENGE & SOLUTION: MERGING SPORT, WELLNESS, AND ARCHITECTURE

The Challenge:

BUILDING A MULTIFUNCTIONAL, HIGH-DEMAND SPACE

Bella Group sought a vibrant sports facility that could deliver:



• Pro-level court design with player comfort in mind
• All-season usability with energy-efficient systems
• Community-centric areas like seating decks and wellness amenities
• A durable, low-maintenance interior suited for high foot traffic
  

THE SOLUTION: STRATEGIC DESIGN, SMART SYSTEMS, AND LOCAL KNOW-HOW

DEV Builders Group managed the project from site prep to final handoff using our white-glove, concierge-level construction services. Key actions included:

• In-house construction services for efficient, controlled execution
• Precision court surfacing and layout to meet competitive specs
• LED lighting installation for extended evening use
• HVAC design tailored to reduce energy use in Puerto Rico’s tropical climate
• Modern locker rooms, gym spaces, and shaded seating built with durability and comfort in mind
  

THE RESULT: A STATE-OF-THE-ART CENTER FOR SPORT, WELLNESS, AND CONNECTION

The completed Pickleball Sport Center blends athletic performance with everyday usability. Inside, players find:

• Multiple regulation courts
• Full-service locker and shower rooms
• Fully equipped strength and cardio training areas
• Lounge zones and shaded viewing decks
• Welcoming interiors built for wellness and long-term utility

This complex now serves as a multipurpose destination—hosting matches, training sessions, corporate wellness events, and recreational leagues.

WHY PICKLEBALL?

A HIGH-GROWTH, HIGH-IMPACT SPORT

Pickleball is more than a passing trend—it’s a national phenomenon. U.S. participation surged to 19.8 million players in 2024, a 45.8% year-over-year growth and a 311% jump since 2020. It’s claimed the “fastest-growing sport” title for four consecutive years.

As companies and communities focus more on wellness, sports spaces like this center are proving to be smart investments. Research shows that access to physical activity improves health metrics and workplace performance. 

For the construction industry itself, structured athletic spaces reduce stress, improve morale, and boost team efficiency.

DEV Builders Group sees athletic construction as an opportunity to build healthier, stronger communities and businesses.
