The Sanborn wins unanimous city approval for an eight-story members’ club opening in 2028<\/i><\/p>\n
BOCA RATON, Fla.<\/span>, Oct. 13, 2026<\/span> \/PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE\/ — The Sanborn, a private members’ club at 100 NE First Avenue, won unanimous approval Tuesday from the Boca Raton Community Redevelopment Agency. The club will open in 2028 across from Sanborn Square, the park it’s named for, as downtown Boca Raton’s first private members’ club.<\/p>\n For now, The Sanborn is keeping most of what’s inside to itself. It will share a few things: a speakeasy, and a cigar lounge where members keep their own humidor lockers. A game room has golf and Formula 1 simulators. On the roof, a pool deck gives way to a sunset lounge with fire pits that looks out over all of downtown.<\/p>\n The club’s calendar won’t stop at its front door. Members can expect private evenings like watch showcases, days out on the water and philanthropic work in the community, planned for the people who belong.<\/p>\n The rest, including the restaurants, the chefs behind them and what happens on the supper club stage, will be announced in the months ahead.<\/p>\n “We’d rather people discover it,” said Steven Newman, one of the founders of The Sanborn. “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.”<\/p>\n The club’s guiding idea is “Intuitively yours.” Membership will be by application and invitation, for people in Boca Raton and its neighboring towns who want a club that feels like theirs.<\/p>\n Silver Street Hospitality, founded by James Gersten and behind more than 75 restaurant openings, is developing the club’s restaurants and bars. HDA Architects of Boca Raton designed the building.<\/p>\n Tuesday’s vote follows a unanimous vote by the city’s Planning and Zoning Board on Oct. 1. The club meets the downtown code without variances, with valet parking in an automated \u00a0garage below the building and additional parking offsite.<\/p>\n People who want to hear first about membership can write to memberships@thesanborn.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n About The Sanborn<\/b><\/p>\n
