Hopefully a pickleball court

That’s exactly it, I believe

Sorry new here, so is this going to be a condo or pickleball courts?

Yes

It's approved as a condo. @Undead was being silly.

That said, this project is much larger than anything the developer has built before at a time when sales are unusually low so it may be a while, perhaps years, before construction begins. There will be an interim use of the land in some way: perhaps a sales office, or paid parking, ... or a pickleball court.

Honestly, I could see many developers putting in temporary athletic or park spaces if property taxes were charged appropriately for that purpose. If anyone has the mayor's ear this might be worth mentioning. Low taxes on parking lots is how we got so many of those downtown in the 90's. A bunch of temporary privately maintained public spaces would be useful, even if just for a few years.
