Tesco could choose anyone.
We know. So here is why the airspace above your car parks is worth far more with Upper Court on top of it, and why we are not simply another padel operator.
Your airspace is
doing nothing
Large-format car parks are among the most valuable and least productive assets in UK retail. Prime, well-connected land, working at a fraction of its potential.
- i.Valuable land sits idle
Acres of well-located real estate generating little beyond a place to park.
- ii.One-purpose visits
Customers arrive, shop, and leave. Dwell time is low, and rarely grows on its own.
- iii.Unused airspace
Above head height, the commercial value of the site simply stops.
A large car park is an untapped asset. We turn the part nobody is using into a second business.
We won’t take your land.
We’ll unlock your airspace.
Nothing changes at ground level. The store trades exactly as it does today, the parking stays, the traffic flows. Four metres above, a destination appears where there was only sky.
A destination that sends
customers back to you
Every part of the venue gives people another reason to come, to stay longer, and to spend on the way in or out. The store beneath becomes the landmark.
Drag to scale the projection to a site of any size, from a first small deck to a full flagship.
A projected 1,150 member visits a week at 8 courts, every one of them parking, many of them shopping.
The car park below operates exactly as it does today. We build above it, never on it.
Leagues, coaching, events and dining fill the site all week, not only at retail peaks.
More reasons for more people to visit the store, more often.
Time spent on the estate turns into spend inside the store.
A complete experience builds a lasting habit around Tesco.
Active lifestyles create happier, healthier customers.
It’s at Tesco. See you there.The store becomes the meeting point, the habit, and the last stop before home: “what do you need before I leave?”
We are not renting space.
We are building a destination.
Any operator can install courts. Very few can run a hospitality destination that people choose, return to, and tell their friends about.
- i.Built around retail, not bolted on
A national format designed specifically for underutilised retail airspace, not a generic club dropped on a roof.
- ii.Proven operators
Between us, decades running the best rooms in London, New York, Las Vegas, Los Angeles and the Middle East.
- iii.The next era of padel
Where the sport is only half of it, and the standard of hospitality is unrivalled.
Our objective is not simply to rent space. It is to increase footfall, dwell time, community and long-term commercial value for Tesco, while unlocking an entirely new income stream from airspace you already own.Why Upper Court
