Boca Raton's First Downtown Private Club Gets Green Light

Boca Raton – – October 13, 2026 -- The Sanborn, an eight-story private members' club at 100 NE First Avenue, won unanimous approval from the Boca Raton Community Redevelopment Agency on Tuesday and is set to open in 2028 as downtown's first club of its kind.

The club opens across from Sanborn Square, its namesake park

Membership will be by application and invitation, aimed at residents of Boca Raton and neighboring towns. The founders describe the guiding idea as "Intuitively yours."

Speakeasy, cigar lounge and F1 simulators fill the confirmed amenities

The club has revealed only a few features so far. They include a speakeasy and a cigar lounge with humidor lockers for members. A game room will have golf and Formula 1 simulators. On the roof, a pool deck leads to a sunset lounge with fire pits overlooking downtown.
