Where did the name “Dolphin Point Club” originate from?
Historically, the site was a development with the name Dolphin Point. The original Dolphin Point Condominiums were destroyed in 2004 by Hurricane Ivan. The old condominiums were built too low and too close to the sea. These old block/wood structures were not rebuilt after Ivan and the property stood vacant until now. In order to develop responsibly, we must respect the history of the site and learn from mistakes of the past.
The new Dolphin Point Club will be constructed using the Miami Dade standards in order to withstand Category 5 level winds and flooding. We have raised the level of the basement and pool from 8 feet above sea level to 13.5 feet above sea level. The ground floor, lobby and parking lot will now sit 25 feet above sea level. All windows and glass will be impact rated and the roof will be standing seam. The property will also feature backup generators to maintain safety and security during times of need.
