The pandemic didn’t stop the expansion of Lauderdale Yacht Club

| Drew Limsky

Play, sail, dine, swim, work out and socialize on the Intracoastal: That’s the South Florida lifestyle, epitomized by Lauderdale Yacht Club. And it just got better: Fort Lauderdale-based Miller Construction announced its completion of a clubhouse for Lauderdale Yacht Club.

The two-story, 36,941-square-foot project replaces the 1950s-era clubhouse and building and was designed by Spina O’Rourke Architects, known for projects such as Jupiter Yacht Club and PGA Commons in Palm Beach Gardens. The project team included Flynn Engineering, KAMM and Bliss & Nyitray, Inc.

The clubhouse, at 1725 SE 12 St., features an expandable dining room on the ground floor, which also contains the Abenaki Lounge, Cypress Bar and the wine room. Spaces on the second floor include Burgee Bar, the Commodore Room and the New River Room. Covered and uncovered terraces are enhanced by Solar Innovation glass door track systems between the terraces.

BIOGRAPHY

Drew Limsky joined Lifestyle Media Group in August 2020 as Editor-in-Chief of South Florida Business & Wealth. His first issue of SFBW, October 2020, heralded a reimagined structure, with new content categories and a slew of fresh visual themes. “As sort of a cross between Forbes and Robb Report, with a dash of GQ and Vogue,” Limsky says, “SFBW reflects South Florida’s increasingly sophisticated and dynamic business and cultural landscape.”

Limsky, an avid traveler, swimmer and film buff who holds a law degree and Ph.D. from New York University, likes to say, “I’m a doctor, but I can’t operate—except on your brand.” He wrote his dissertation on the nonfiction work of Joan Didion. Prior to that, Limsky received his B.A. in English, summa cum laude, from Emory University and earned his M.A. in literature at American University in connection with a Masters Scholar Award fellowship.

Limsky came to SFBW at the apex of a storied career in journalism and publishing that includes six previous lead editorial roles, including for some of the world’s best-known brands. He served as global editor-in-chief of Lexus magazine, founding editor-in-chief of custom lifestyle magazines for Cadillac and Holland America Line, and was the founding editor-in-chief of Modern Luxury Interiors South Florida. He also was the executive editor for B2B magazines for Acura and Honda Financial Services, and he served as travel editor for Conde Nast. Magazines under Limsky’s editorship have garnered more than 75 industry awards.

He has also written for many of the country’s top newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, Boston Globe, USA Today, Worth, Robb Report, Afar, Time Out New York, National Geographic Traveler, Men’s Journal, Ritz-Carlton, Elite Traveler, Florida Design, Metropolis and Architectural Digest Mexico. His other clients have included Four Seasons, Acqualina Resort & Residences, Yahoo!, American Airlines, Wynn, Douglas Elliman and Corcoran. As an adjunct assistant professor, Limsky has taught journalism, film and creative writing at the City University of New York, Pace University, American University and other colleges.
