In collaboration with Stock Development, Humphrey Rosal Architects and Clive Daniel Hospitality, a resort-style clubhouse in Wild Blue at Waterside is projected to open in January. This 30,000-square-foot building will feature indoor and outdoor dining venues, two swimming pools—lap and resort-style—a movie theater, fitness center, nine-hole premier putting course and much more.

“We’re in the luxury lane and we know our buyers’ lifestyle is really important to them; they’re looking for an elevated lifestyle,” says Claudine Leger-Wetzel, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Stock Development. “A lot of our buyers are new to the area, and the clubhouse is the social center of the community.”

Nancy Woodhouse, Vice President of the Hospitality Division at Clive Daniel Home, says the design process leaned into a coastal-inspired palette of blues, natural textures and sun-washed neutrals. One side of the lobby has a wave tile design that she says speaks to the different elements of textures throughout the building.

“The resort style of this clubhouse had us embrace this style because it’s right near the waterfront,” Woodhouse says. “It gives people some great experiences for the finest aspects of that lifestyle. You can have large parties or small gatherings.”

One of the major features is the barn-style doors that line the private dining space, Woodhouse adds. The wellness center also features cool color palettes and offers breathtaking lake views.

“Every space is considered for connection, leisure, wellness and multifunctional use, making the clubhouse a true extension of the Wild Blue lifestyle,” Woodhouse says.

Wild Blue only has 505 single-family homes, and Leger-Wetzel describes the complex as “the most luxurious community in Lakewood Ranch. There is really nothing like this amenity space.”

Woodhouse says the clubhouse will offer ample activities, and that today’s buyers are very interested in wellness and entertainment.

“It will bring friends, family and neighbors together for holiday celebrations, sporting events—it’s just an amazing space,” Woodhouse says.
