Vornado’s ongoing $2 billion office upgrades in the Penn Station area has included new office building facades, public space and tenants’ amenities of many kinds, but not today’s “It” attraction – until now.

Pickleball courts, of course.

The developer signed premier healthy-lifestyle brand Life Time for a more than 53,000 square-foot complex on the first three floors of PENN 1.

It will boast seven (count ‘em, seven) ground-level pickleball courts to serve devotees of the city’s fastest-growing leisure sport.

Life Time EVP Parham Javaheri boasted that it will be “the city’s most premier indoor pickleball club featuring lounge seating and a bar, complemented by our luxury athletic club programs and amenities.”

Life Time at Penn 1 will open in two phases.

This summer will see a new athletic club to take over the old fitness center on the tower’s second and third floors.
