Sofive Soccer Centers opens its doors in COPT's Columbia Gateway

Corporate Office Properties Trust (NYSE: OFC) today announced Sofive Soccer Centers has opened a 50,000 square-foot indoor soccer facility in Columbia Gateway at 7125 Columbia Gateway Drive.

Offering eight small-sided turf soccer fields designed for games with five players per side, plus a bar/café, locker rooms and more, Sofive provides a top-quality soccer experience for adults and youth all year long.

“We are thrilled to be opening Sofive in Howard County,” said Sofive CEO and Co-founder Charles Lagayette. “Since opening our first Sofive location in 2015, the business has really taken off. There are lots of soccer players in the U.S. but very few high-quality indoor soccer fields. In the first year of operations, the New Jersey location received more than 200,000 visitors, and we’re hoping to match that success in Columbia.”

Sofive opened its world-class indoor soccer facility earlier this month and is adjacent to the 42,000 square foot EarthTreks climbing gym and fitness facility. Like EarthTreks, Sofive adds a unique recreational amenity to Columbia Gateway and the surrounding community.

“At COPT, a major goal in redeveloping our buildings in Columbia Gateway is to attract modern amenities that will enhance the workplace experience of our tenants and enrich the greater Howard County community. In bringing Sofive to Columbia Gateway, we achieve both,” stated Paul R. Adkins, COPT’s Executive Vice President & Chief Operating Officer.

Sofive’s Columbia location is its fifth in the nation and second in Maryland. Sofive Soccer Centers are also located in Rockville, Md., Elkins Park, Pa., Meadowlands, New Jersey, and Brooklyn, New York.

Open weekdays from 9 a.m. to 1 a.m. and weekends from 7 a.m. to 1 a.m., Sofive’s indoor soccer fields are available to rent for pick-up games, training space, soccer leagues, corporate events, birthday parties and more. To book a field online, visit https://sofive.com/locations/columbia-md/.
