The concept · open for submissions

Bring us the land.
Bring us the plan.
We’ll build it together.

This is the KN CONNECTIVE concept, laid out in the open. We build from partnerships and communities, bringing sport, social and community together for active living and business networking. You have the land, we look at it for sport and storage, find the best option for that site, then build it out and connect it to the network — as a partnership, a lease option or a profit-share agreement. Where sport fits, it starts with padel: at least three courts, two doubles and one singles. If you own a site that fits, or you have a business plan that belongs on one, send it to us.

Sites we’re looking for · partner or freehold

Land and sports sites, ¼ acre to 10+ acres. Built within your community.

We are looking for land and sporting sites to partner on, or to buy freehold. Every site is assessed for its best use first, then built out to give back to the community around it. As the major sporting sites come on, the HAF Network grows with them, moving, storing and supporting everything in between.

Route 1

Partner with us

A partnership, a lease option or a profit-share agreement, with the split weighted in favour of the land. You keep the land. We bring the build, the media exposure and the network.

Route 2

Sell us the freehold

Where it suits the owner better, we buy freehold land and sports sites outright, then develop them for the community around them.

What fits, by size
¼–1 acre

Courts first

Padel, at least 3 courts: 2 doubles and 1 singles. Golf simulators and a gym where the space allows.

1–3 acres

Courts plus pitch

Everything above, plus an astro pitch, a gym on site and social space for training nights and match days.

3–10+ acres

A full community hub

Astro pitches, extra football infrastructure, courts, golf simulators and a gym, with room for the network around them.

A typical fit, not a promise. Every site is assessed for sport and storage before anything is built.
Non-league football clubs

Earn and grow, in stages.

We work with non-league clubs to bring new facilities onto their ground at a cost-effective rate, so the club earns from them and grows with them.

  1. 01 · ShareShared memberships, so the club earns alongside us, and low-cost court fees for its players and families.
  2. 02 · AddPadel courts and golf simulators, so the ground earns all week, not just on match days.
  3. 03 · BuildAstro pitches, a gym on site and extra football infrastructure, for better community training and growth.

Phase 03 · build-out

A working site, in layers

With the land held and the best use chosen, the site is built out and connected to the network. Tap the storage, the sports facility or the marketplace to see what each one does.

Land first · within 1 hour of Oughtibridge

Land first. ¼ to 10+ acres.

Our flagship site and HQ will be in Oughtibridge, Sheffield. Within about an hour’s drive of it, we are looking for land that can carry a sports facility, storage or a place in our land marketplace. We start with partnerships, lease options and profit share, with the split weighted in favour of the land, and can joint-venture or buy the freehold outright where that suits the owner better.

Ways to work with us

Four routes. Pick the one that suits you.

Every site and every owner is different, so we agree terms site by site.

What goes on the land

Three uses we are building for.

Storage

Containerised self-storage, placed in stages where demand is strongest. Quick to place and earns early.

Phase 02 · assessed with sport

Sports facility

A place people come back to every week, built to stand on its own feet and bring life to the site.

Phase 03 · the venue

Land marketplace

Sites and plots matched with the people who need them: owners, operators and partners in the KN network.

Phase 03 · the network
