The 54-story, 154-unit Turnberry Ocean Club was developed by Soffer’s Fontainebleau Development. Closings began in 2020. The developer received a $460 million refinancing from JP Morgan Chase and Mack Real Estate Credit Strategies in 2019.

The tower includes 70,000 square feet of amenities on six floors, a sky club with two swimming pools and two spas, a fitness and spa level, and a dining level. Units range from 2,750 square feet to 10,000 square feet, with three-to-six bedroom floor plans that extend over two and three levels.

Last year, Nick Woodhouse, president of Authentic Brands Group, and his wife, Jocelyne, bought a Turnberry Ocean Club condo for $5.2 million. And Laurie Stark, co-owner of designer brand Chrome Hearts, paid $6.5 million for a unit.

In 2020, an Argentine politico paid $11.9 million for two units at the development.
