Club at Treasure Island owners outline plans for property

The California-based ownership group that recently acquired the Club at Treasure Island, at 400 Treasure Island Causeway, has announced its vision for reactivating the property, which has been dormant since August 2023. 

According to Sam Tavakoli, a partner at Tavaco Properties, big changes are planned for the club, but it won’t be completely redeveloped, as former owner Bill Edwards tried — and failed — to do.

What we’re actively trying to do is essentially run it like a pseudo-retail property. We’re looking for best-in-class operators to operate the restaurant, for example, and we are looking for a best-in-class event operator, as well. And then you have the pool and tiki bar. That’s another venue we’ve been discussing.”
