The Sanborn: Boca Raton’s New Exclusive Private Members’ Club
In the heart of Boca Raton, just behind a stunning water wall on NE First Avenue, a new era of exclusivity is about to unfold. The
Sanborn, a private members' club located at
100 NE First Avenue, has recently secured unanimous approval from the Boca Raton Community Redevelopment Agency, paving the way for its grand opening in
2028. This innovative venue not only marks the first private members' club in downtown Boca Raton but also aims to redefine luxury and community engagement in the area.
A Vision of Elegance and Community
The Sanborn, strategically positioned across from the picturesque Sanborn Square, promises to be more than just a place to socialize. It is designed to be a sanctuary for those looking to connect, unwind, and indulge in a variety of experiences. Founders envision a club that feels like home, where members will always find something new and exciting at every visit. As Steven Newman, one of the founders, aptly puts it, "It's a club for people who live here. You'll walk in, someone will know your name, and there will always be something you haven't found yet."
While specific details regarding its interior remain under wraps, the club is expected to feature a myriad of exceptional amenities. Among them are a
speakeasy, a
cigar lounge with personal humidor lockers for its members, and a high-tech gaming room complete with golf and Formula 1 simulators.
If that’s not enough, a rooftop pool deck and sunset lounge — equipped with fire pits that offer breathtaking views of downtown Boca Raton — are also part of the club's offerings. These features alone promise to cater to the diverse interests and preferences of its members, ensuring that there’s never a dull moment.
Plans Beyond the Club’s Walls
The Sanborn has plans that extend far beyond its premises. Members can anticipate a calendar brimming with exclusive events, from private showcases to opportunities for philanthropic work within the community. This commitment to social responsibility speaks to the club's guiding principle of being more than just a luxurious private space; it strives to be an influential part of the Boca Raton community.
With a focus on the culinary experience, much awaits the unveiling of its restaurants and the chefs behind them. While many details will be disclosed in the months leading to the opening, anticipation continues to build around what will enhance the club’s exquisite atmosphere.
Approvals and Future Developments
The unanimous approval by the city represents a significant milestone for The Sanborn. The club adheres to the downtown code without requiring any variances, featuring an automated valet parking garage and additional off-site parking to accommodate members with convenience.
