Gotham Pickleball Signs with TF Cornerstone for Second LIC Location

TF Cornerstone (TFC) secured a new lease signing with Gotham Pickleball, a high-energy urban pickleball brand. Gotham Pickleball signed a 10-year, 26,000-square-foot lease at 52-37 Second St., TFC’s industrial waterfront building in Long Island City, where it’s expected to open in the fall.

“Reinvigorating this industrial space for vibrant indoor-outdoor use speaks to the continued evolution of Long Island City and our approach to curating tenants that enhance the character and energy of the neighborhood,” said Steve Gonzalez, VP of retail leasing at TFC.

Created to bring pickleball access to city dwellers, Gotham Pickleball opened its first location — an 8,000-square-foot, four-court facility, also in LIC — in December 2024. The new Second Street location will allow Gotham to expand its programming, host larger-scale events and further strengthen its connection to the surrounding area.

Gotham Pickleball was represented by Jack Gabay of Golden Goose Realty. TFC was represented by Paul Bralower, Brendan Burke and Decio Baio of Pinnacle Realty.
