Residence Club at Ocean Reef is designed as a three-building complex spanning 103,700 square feet at 1 Golf Village Drive at the Ocean Reef Club, a gated, 2,500-acre community just north of Key Largo.

Owners of the one-, two- and three-bedroom condo units will have access to the 18,000-square-foot private clubhouse at Ocean Reef Club and the community’s golf course and marina.

The developers have advanced the Residence Club at Ocean Reef, which would be built on the site of a 1970s condominium, despite initial opposition from eight owners of homes in the Ocean Reef Club community. [Commercial Observer]Mike Seemuth
