Agreement Signed for Redevelopment of Yacht Club

By C&RB Staff | January 5, 2023

This is a rendering of the 63,000-sq.-ft. clubhouse that is part of Terry Paterson’s plan for the redevelopment of the Lighthouse Point (Fla.) Yacht and Tennis Club.

The redevelopment of the Lighthouse Point (Fla.) Yacht and Tennis Club awaits a new funding source for owner Terry Paterson, but one hurdle has been cleared. The developer’s agreement between Paterson and the city was recorded Dec. 21 by the Broward County Commission and became effective on that date. Paterson wants to develop 10 acres with 21 townhomes, a family residence [his own], a 63,000-sq.-ft. clubhouse, a 2,400-sq.-ft. kids’ center, 4,000 sq. ft. of tennis center/bistro, a 78-slip marina, 800 sq. ft. for a marina office, and a 774-sq.-ft. entryway. But until Paterson can prove financial liability by obtaining a construction loan, he cannot pull any demolition or construction permits, says Mayor Kyle Van Buskirk.

The redevelopment of the Lighthouse Point (Fla.) Yacht and Tennis Club awaits a new funding source for owner Terry Paterson, but one hurdle has been cleared, The New Pelican reported. The developer’s agreement between Paterson and the city was recorded Dec. 21 by the Broward County Commission and became effective on that date.

The 172 pages of considerations lays out Paterson’s obligations as he develops the 10 acres with 21 townhomes, a family residence [his own], a 63,000-sq.-ft. clubhouse, a 2,400-sq.-ft. kids’ center, 4,000 sq. ft. of tennis center/bistro, a 78-slip marina, 800 sq. ft. for a marina office and a 774-sq.-ft. entryway feature at Northeast 27 Terrace, The New Pelican reported. It contains such details as the curfew for the tennis courts, 9 p.m., and the number of live-a-board boat slips in the marina, 12.

The agreement has been in negotiation for several years and a special zoning district, Yacht Club Mixed Use, was created for a portion of the site to enable the residential development to occur, The New Pelican reported.

In the meantime, Public Works Director Chuck Schramm is making personal visits to residents of Northeast 27 Terrace to inform them Paterson will be installing 1,300 feet of sidewalk in the neighborhood, which will be built to the city’s specifications. Also required of the developer will be traffic calming devices,  The New Pelican reported.

“Our employees are so dedicated,” Mayor Kyle Van Buskirk said this week. To prove this point, he noted Schramm is visiting the residents of Northeast 27 Terrace to inform them about the sidewalk. Said the mayor, “We are trying our best to be forthcoming [about this project].”

To date, traffic safety has been a major concern for residents of the area, The New Pelican reported.

But until Paterson can prove financial liability by obtaining a construction loan, he cannot pull any demolition or construction permits, the mayor said.

Paterson first came before the Lighthouse Point Planning and Zoning Board in 2018 with his plans for the yacht club property and up until early 2022, had been making regular appearances at both zoning board and city commission meetings. In play for most of this year, was fine tuning the developer’s agreement,  The New Pelican reported.

Reportedly Paterson ran into a financial situation when his original $10 million loan to buy the yacht club property expired due to delays he blamed on the city.

the food is okay but the service is terrible it took an hour for fries which is just ridiculous! I also asked for a side of sour cream and it took 30 minutes to bring! It is just unacceptable

I have had the pleasure of being invited to the Easter Brunch here and the experience was really nice. The Lighthouse Point yacht Club has been around for many years (longer than I have been around) and is located on an amazing piece of real estate in Light House Point surrounded by multimillion dollar homes and really nice yachts. The restaurant is only open to members so you need to be invited (special thanks to my friend) and the holiday events are done with style and class. The Easter Buffet was really amazing with a huge variety of breakfast, lunch, salad, and desert options that has something that will please everyone. The service was also high quality and will remind you of the way is used to be or let you know what you have been missing at the local restaurants. If you are invited to dine here then please drop me a line and also send an invite my way :)

Worst food in yacht club history. Followed by the most depressing atmosphere. NOT RECOMMENDED

Had my wedding at this beautiful yatch club last year. What a gorgeous place and gazebo. All my guests enjoyed the beautiful yatch and sunset during my ceremony. The appetizers and dinner selections were wonderful and large portions. Gina and her staff were very professional and accomodating. The dance floor and decor were gorgeous and everyone enjoyed the bar service and chocolate fountain. Very pleased!

Well it finally happened and change is coming to the last holdout of old South Florida... The club has been sold and huge projects are underway that will permanently alter its landscape and feel. I have an aunt who attended the original groundbreaking ceremonies in the early sixties and I grew up around the place. I remember when they would hand you a jacket and a tie if you didn't have them and I fondly recall the old Corinthian balls where blue bloods would waltz to a full orchestra. And while those days are long gone, little else has changed. What was once the third largest pool in the United States has been replaced by tennis courts, which will now be plowed over in favor of townhouses. Whether or not this will work is anyone's guess as where the hell is everybody going to park? Some hotshot kid (28 yrs old) bought the place and the first thing he did was demolish "The Hall of the Commodores" which had a picture of every commodore going back to the sixties... Nice!!! Way to erase the club's past, kiddo... But he has kept the vast majority of the staff so he can't be half bad! And he retained "Pasta Night", with its delicious pasta bars and all their fabulous toppings so we're off to a good start. But the club has only been open again for a month and theres already rumors that the new owner is broke... I'll keep my fingers crossed though, as a part of me will die when this place does. *UPDATE* The traditional Thanksgiving buffet was reduced to a Holiday Inn style banquet... even the sneezeguards were gone (Attention : Health Department) as were most of the delicious offerings of years past. Our salad bar didn't even have bacon bits!!! The new owner is obviously going to dismantle it and simply put up condos in its place... The sale stipulated that the property would remain a club and not that he was allowed to drive members away in droves (with sub par food and cheap, garish decor) until the day he could file Chapter 11 and tear the place down!

I have been to this club on several occasions, mostly for lunch and it was prior to the club having been sold. I also attended a fashion show after the sale and everything was wonderful. However I dinner with a small group of friends on March 17, St. Patrick's Day was very disappointed. In addition to a regular menu they offered corn beef and cabbage, a traditional Irish meal on that day. It's a meal I eat once a year & It was practically unrecognizable! The only thing that looked familiar was the 1 small red potato and 1 small piece of carrot. The corn beef was shredded & the cabbage was gray in color, shredded like sauerkraut but tasted awful. I spoke with most of the guests at the table and they too were very disappointed. I just felt that maybe the chef was trying to do something different with this meal. It was a big fail. People want corn beef and cabbage to taste like corn beef and cabbage and not something else.

We just had my daughter's wedding and reception at LPYRC and could not have been happier with the experience from start to finish. The catering manager Gina Miller went beyond our expectations with her experience and organization. I had no worries come wedding day!! How great is that?! The staff in the dining room were also outstanding starting with the banquet captain VIta! She and her people were professional and more than efficient. Hands down an awesome day!!!!

A beautiful facility tucked away amongst the residences of Lighthouse Point. Plenty of parking for your vehicle and your yacht, a beautiful restaurant and ballroom, friendly and courteous staff, and much more. My first visit made a fine first impression indeed.

LHP Yacht and Racquet Club is the best kept secret and has become an extraordinary family social club for several generations. We have experienced 3 generations of wonderful events including children's swim team, Easter bunny traditions, and holiday family dining memories. Also, the club evolves with your life from children's ages through a gorgeous, incomparable wedding, to current time as a member of the Corinthian Boaters Club.
