28145 Walker South Road
28145 Walker South Road is an adaptive reuse project that repositions a vacant big-box retail property into a regional sports and recreation destination. The 60,000-square-foot former Winn-Dixie and furniture store is being converted into a 16-court indoor pickleball complex for Pickleball Kingdom, bringing new activity to a large-format retail space in Walker.

The Challenge
The property was a vacant big-box retail building that needed a new use capable of activating the full 60,000-square-foot space. The opportunity was to reposition a former grocery and furniture store into a destination that could generate consistent traffic and better serve the surrounding market.
The Solution
Maestri-Murrell helped reposition the property for Pickleball Kingdom, converting the large-format retail building into a 16-court indoor pickleball facility. The redevelopment gives the existing structure a new purpose while adapting it for a growing sports and recreation use.
The Impact
Scheduled for completion in early 2026, the project will transform a vacant retail box into a high-traffic regional recreation facility. The adaptive reuse brings renewed energy to the property, supports Walker’s growing commercial activity, and creates a destination that extends the building’s value beyond traditional retail.
