Southridge Club
Executives

A unique destination club in every since of the word, The Southridge Club differed from the more traditional destination club model at virtually every point of their structure.

Rather than charging members a refundable membership deposit that would be used for real estate purchases, The Southridge Club wouldn't charge any membership deposit as the club's properties were already owned.

Rather than increasing their property portfolio as new members joined, The Southridge Club would steadfastly limit themselves to just 18 members with access to three properties.

Rather than charging low annual dues to access the club's properties, The Southridge Club would have members pay for their luxury at $100,000 per year.

And rather than one centralized club that had the executive team and real estate under one company, The Southridge Club had two different parties.

The three club properties were all owned by an unnamed individual who would make them available to club members. The operational side of the club would be responsible for new member acquisition, creating rules and regulations, and the day to day minutiae of running a destination club.

Following their July 2009 launch, the club added their inaugural member, a US based billionaire. Just as the operational side of the club began to ramp up their marketing efforts, the owner of the three properties elected to sell each, effectively ending the club.

Although disappointed, the agents behind The Southridge Club are optimistic about the concept and are considering launching similar ventures in the future. Although uncertain at present, the as yet named new club may focus on providing members a base of European residences for an American market.
