CONCEPT RENDER · CLUB-140 · S TIER · CORE
Indoor courts, delivered in about 20 weeks.
TARGET · 16–20 WEEKS · ORDER TO OPEN
Indoor pickleball and basketball courts built from upcycled high-cube containers. The restrooms, lobby and lounge come finished inside the walls.
The schedule comes from doing two jobs at once. Your rooms are fitted inside the containers while the permit is in review and the slab goes in.
01 · Week 0
Pick a model, tier, package and livery in the 3D configurator and see an estimated turnkey price. We turn it into a site-fit sketch and a fixed-price proposal.
02 · Pre-app · weeks 1–2
We adapt a master drawing set to your site, and a licensed PE seals it. We meet your building department for a pre-application review in week 1 or 2.
03 · Factory · 6–8 weeks
Restrooms, lobby, lounge and mechanical rooms are fitted inside the containers while the permit is in review and the slab and grade beams go in on site.
04 · Dried-in · 10 work days
A crane sets the containers on the grade beams. Arch ribs, purlins and the roof follow, then utilities, the court surface and inspections. Target for a FULL-120: containers set to roof dried-in in 10 working days or less.
Concept render · 8/8 · Court + fit-out
On site, in order. Concept model and renders of a CLUB-140, S tier. Order to open target: 16–20 weeks (design goal).
Every Cube Court is the same section: two rows of high-cube shipping containers 64 ft apart and a steel arch between them. Length sets the court count. S tier is one container high. X tier stacks a second row with skybox lounges and raises the crown 9'-6".
Overall width 80'-0". Footprint = length × 80 ft. Basketball at FIBA 7 m clear height across the full court needs X tier.
CLUB-140
4 courts · 140' × 80'
Four tournament pickleball courts with a basketball overlay. A lounge, event room and coaching lane make it a club.

List prices, S tier (one container high). Turnkey on a prepared pad in Texas; land, off-site utilities and parking are not included. 2027 estimates until vendor quotes and PE design. X tier, two containers high with skybox lounges: $1,065,000 to $4,465,000. The configurator shows an estimated price for every combination.
Boxes
Under 2% of direct cost
The boxes themselves are a small part of the cost. All six containers in a FULL-120 cost about $18,000. The value is the system: the engineering, the steel arch, the factory-fitted rooms and a permit set we can repeat.
The rooms are built in a factory while your permit is in review. Target: 16–20 weeks from order to open.
Restrooms, lobby, lounge and mechanical rooms ship finished inside the containers, and the containers are the side walls. There is no separate restroom building with its own foundation and roof.
Steel container walls line both long sides. For homes within 500 ft, add CLIMATE's insulated steel roof. Estimated sound reduction: 33–38 dB through the container walls, 30–35 dB through the steel roof, 10–15 dB through a membrane. A site acoustic study sets the contract target.
Containers, rooms, arch ribs and roof come apart. About 70% of the building moves to a new site. Each move needs a new permit and a new foundation or engineered ballast.
Containers carry a livery: Signature, Court, Stealth or your own colors. At night the polycarbonate end wall glows like a lantern.
If you need 8 or more courts at the lowest cost per court, a metal building or a warehouse conversion is usually the better buy.
Communities, HOAs + master-planned developers
A village-center amenity that can open ahead of a sales milestone. Some cities now keep outdoor pickleball 250–500 ft from homes [8].
Fit:HALF-60FULL-120Climate
Schools + churches
Gym, event or fellowship room and restrooms under one contract. X tier adds competition clear height.

Parks + recreation
Only 14% of park agencies offer indoor pickleball and 32% indoor basketball [8]. A relocatable building can start as a pilot.

Leased-box build-outs average about 270 days [5], and the improvements stay behind when the lease ends.

Landowners with land waiting for development
The building code has a relocatable-building path, and every module carries its own data plate. Pair it with an operator tenant.

Cost ranges are 2027 dollars per square foot: published 2026 figures escalated 4.45% [7]. Scopes differ, so read them as ranges, not quotes. Cube Court figures are our S-tier list prices divided by gross floor area. Numbers in brackets refer to the sources at the foot of the page.
No Cube Court building is open yet. The first ten owners get founding terms in exchange for helping us prove the system with photos, site visits and a year of performance data.
