Michael Jordan’s club was such a slam dunk, the GOAT of basketball is opening another Florida location.
With the state already well-known for attracting the rich and famous — and their businesses — celebrity-owned restaurants and clubs add to Florida’s charm.
For example, President Donald Trump’s primary residence and several of his golf courses are here. Tech billionaires Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos own homes in South Florida’s “Billionaire Bunker” neighborhood.
Other pro athletes on the GOAT list like Tiger Woods, Tom Brady and Serena Williams call Florida home — and their business ventures were born in the Sunshine State.
Retired NBA star Michael Jordan teamed up with other celebrities to co-own an exclusive members-only club and restaurant near his primary residence in Palm Beach County, Florida. Due to its success on the East Coast, the Chicago Bulls champ announced a new location on Florida’s Gulf Coast.
Below are renderings of the new Sarasota, Florida, location of Michael Jordan’s members-only club and when it is expected to open.
Does Michael Jordan have a restaurant in Florida?
Michael Jordan is a founding partner and co-owner of 1000 North, a members-only restaurant and club in Jupiter, Florida. Jordan holds a significant stake in the club, but it is co-owned and backed by a large group of high-profile partners and investors.
“Developer Ira Fenton and former New York Giant Tucker Frederickson, who were part of the team that developed The Bear’s Club and The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club & Spa, Jupiter (now Trump National Golf Club, Jupiter), came up with the idea,” the 1000 North website says. 1000 North Jupiter opened in 2018.
Here are some of the other partners and notable names listed on the 1000 North website:
A second location of 1000 North opens later in downtown Sarasota, Florida. According to the countdown clock on the 1000 North Sarasota website, the new location is expected to open in October 2026.
“Tucked into the heart of Sarasota’s cultural corridor, 1000 North Sarasota is a members-only club that blends culinary artistry with legacy hospitality,” the website says.
“Modeled after our iconic Jupiter flagship — founded by Michael Jordan, Ernie Els, and other tastemakers — our Sarasota location brings that same elevated spirit to the Boulevard of the Arts.”

Here is the address and map of Michael Jordan’s new 1000 North Club, 520 North Tamiami Trail, Sarasota, Florida. The venue will boast just over 23,000 square feet of space after recently closing on an adjacent property.
According to previous Sarasota Herald-Tribune reporting, the two-level space will include private dining rooms, a dedicated wine lounge, members’ wine and liquor lockers and an upstairs lounge. The menu will feature prime steaks, seafood and seasonal ingredients, complemented by curated wine selections.
Where is Michael Jordan’s private golf club in Florida?
Michael Jordan is also the principal owner of The Grove XXIII, a private golf course in Hobe Sound. The “XXIII” portion of the name is a nod to Jordan’s former jersey number, 23, when he played for the Chicago Bulls. The ultra-exclusive golf club is also invite-only, with fewer than 100 members.
The golf course was created by Bobby Weed, a well-known golf course architect who has designed a mix of private golf clubs and PGA Tour tournament venues.
