A PLACE FOR PRIMATES: The BAYC Announced That Construction On Its Miami Clubhouse Begins This January!

The Bored Ape Yacht Club is entering its "next era” that includes a physical clubhouse in Miami!

From writing on the digital bathroom walls to meeting up in person whenever you want, the Bored Ape Yacht Club is set to break ground on its highly anticipated place for primates this January!

ApeFest was the alpha over the weekend as Yuga Labs CEO Garga took the stage for a keynote speech filled with announcements, partnerships, and, most importantly to a large chunk of the club, a clubhouse update!

 

 

“I got one more thing, and that’s what the next era of Bored Ape Yacht Club will look like, a clubhouse,” Garga said as the Apes went insane. “Not a pop up, a permanent location in Miami. It’s a little different from the crumbling clubhouse in the everglades that we first had in mind.”

With that, a video played of Curtis pulling up to the BAYC, tossing his keys to the valet, knocking a secret knock, and then ape-ing into the BAYC Clubhouse.

 

“Picture it like this,” Garga said. “You show up to the concierge desk and show them your BAYC black card with embedded NFC tech You’re going to need that because there’s parts of the clubhouse that are accessible to everybody and parts that only you can access. Behind the concierge desk, there’s a liquor locker, each with an Apes number emblazoned on the label. If its during the day, maybe you stop by the café or the library. A cozy spot to scroll, read, and trade, checker bored tiles and brass fixtures. The walls are lined with BAYC archives and signed posters. Or maybe you step outside to my favorite part of the club, into the heart of the clubhouse, the tree bar. A sculptural oak canopy that rises over the rooftop. This is where live music happens and where whisky flows from cask’s marked BAYC. For dinner  you head into the dining room. Its meant to evoke an everglades supper club or secret society. Deep green banquets, palm pattern wall paper, and custom plates and glassware that you guys are going to definitely fucking steal. Behind there’s a painting of Curtis in the dining room, there’s a door. You push it through and you’re in the speak easy. Billiards. Records. Game tables. Cozy shit. Look, we got and incredible design agency, VT Pro, helping make sure that the clubhouse is the right mix of luxurious and cozy, with BAYC all in all of the details. We start construction in January.”

As the Bored Ape Gazette previously reported, the idea of an IRL clubhouse was first announced in September 2021 with the release of the BAYC Roadmap 2.0.

 

The Bored Ape Gazette will continue to follow the clubhouse’s development and will let you know when in January Yuga Labs officially breaks ground in Miami. Stay tuned for updates!
