Get ready for a game-changer in Williamsburg! Five Iron Golf is swinging into town, and it’s bringing more than just a putter and a dream. This isn’t your average golf outing—it’s a massive 16,000-square-foot indoor golf facility that’s set to become Brooklyn’s largest. But here’s where it gets exciting: nestled within Global Holdings’ 25 Kent, this new hotspot isn’t just about golf. It’s a fusion of work, wellness, and culture, all under one roof. And this is the part most people miss—it’s not just a tenant; it’s a statement about Williamsburg’s evolving identity.
Following the buzz of Glowbar’s recent lease, Five Iron Golf is taking over most of the lower level, with a 746-square-foot ground floor presence. Co-founder and CEO Jared Solomon shared, ‘Brooklyn has been on our radar for ages,’ and now they’re making a splash with 13 state-of-the-art Trackman simulators, a 7,000-square-foot gym, and luxury locker rooms. But is this just a golfer’s paradise, or does it signal a broader shift in how we think about urban spaces?
Craig Panzirer, leasing director at Global Holdings, couldn’t agree more. He calls 25 Kent ‘more than an office building,’ emphasizing its role as a hub where creativity and energy collide. With cutting-edge tenants like Queen One and Autonomous Technologies Group already on board, the building is 65% leased and stands as Brooklyn’s first ground-up office project in four decades. But here’s the controversial question: Can a golf facility truly redefine a neighborhood, or is it just another trendy addition?
Represented by CBRE’s Anthony Dattoma, Five Iron Golf’s new space rivals its Manhattan outpost at 1290 Sixth Ave. in size. As Williamsburg continues to evolve, this move raises intriguing questions about the future of urban development. Is this the next big thing, or just a swing and a miss?
