Sarasota Yacht Club on Florida’s Gulf Coast has completed its new waterfront clubhouse after 15 months of construction. The new 23,500-square-foot facility has panoramic views throughout the building, including the indoor-outdoor dining hall and the formal Neptune Lounge. With seating for more than 550 diners, the club also has the very latest design equipment in its 3,500-square-foot kitchen. Designed to withstand 130-mph winds, the building incorporates numerous environmentally friendly features, including natural skylights, recycled materials, thick insulation, and a highly efficient air-conditioning system. The new resort-style pool features an infinity edge overlooking Sarasota Bay and shallow lounge areas with ample seating, eating areas, and cabanas surrounding it.
