Clubhouse Renovation Project

MAIN ENTRY TAKING SHAPE

UPDATE #22

Fellow Members and Friends of Gulf Harbour,

I want to provide you with another progress update on our Clubhouse Renovation project and share several positive developments that have occurred over the past month, since my last update.

While large construction projects naturally encounter moments where plans must be adjusted and expectations recalibrated, we remain focused on steady progress and maintaining the long-term vision we all share for Gulf Harbour. Earlier this month, on Tuesday, March 3rd, we met again with the leadership team at Curran & Young Construction for another working session to review the project in detail. The purpose of that meeting was to reaffirm joint goals, reinforce expectations, clarify communication processes, review change orders, and confirm manpower commitments moving forward. Most importantly, we discussed establishing a clear and realistic path toward a revised completion and operational timeline. The meeting was productive and constructive, and we believe it reinforced the shared commitment to moving the project forward with renewed focus. Since that meeting, we have seen solid progress in meaningful areas and are encouraged that we will meet our “Open for Operation” by December this year.

A few days after that meeting, Chris Curran, CEO of Curran Young Construction spent time on our job site and following that site visit, reached out to the full team on our project with the attached message. I find his message encouraging and I think it is important for all Gulf Harbour Members to hear.

Hello Team,

I wanted to take a moment to share my thoughts following today’s visit to Gulf Harbour with Doug and Jake. It was a truly productive session. We find ourselves in what will likely be remembered as the most challenging phase of this renovation, and it’s clear that club projects like ours come with unique hurdles that other types of projects simply don’t present. Even so, I’m confident that, by working together, we’ll successfully navigate whatever comes our way.

To give a little perspective and encouragement, I’d like everyone to take a few minutes to watch this video highlighting the Twin Eagles project: Click here to view the video. to view the video.

Twin Eagles faced even greater challenges than what we’re dealing with now, yet through teamwork, tough conversations, and unwavering focus, the project was a tremendous success. I believe our journey at Gulf Harbour will echo that experience, and I’m excited for us to create our own story of collaboration and achievement.

Thank you all for your dedication and resilience. We understand and share the opening goal and despite ongoing challenges, are committed to achieving that goal.

Best regards,

Chris Curran, CEO

In terms of our construction progress, several important milestones have recently taken place.

Many of you likely noticed that structural steel began arriving on site Friday, February 20th. This delivery represents a critical step in the project, and installation is now underway. Steel placement is currently on a hot path, and our teams expect this phase of work to move quickly over the next several weeks as the structural framework of the expansion continues to take shape.

Inside the existing clubhouse, progress continues to advance steadily as well.

         • Most all interior framing has now been completed.

         • Approximately 80% of the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing rough-ins have been finished.

These are important milestones because they allow the next phases of interior work to begin once the remaining systems are finalized.

We have also received Revision 9 of the construction documents, which reflects a handful of design and structural refinements. These adjustments are now being reviewed and incorporated into the construction planning to ensure all work continues to align with the overall design vision.

From a mechanical standpoint, we are also in good position for upcoming installations. All of the HVAC equipment has now arrived on site and is currently staged on the property. These systems will be installed once the flat roof rough work is completed, allowing proper placement and integration into the building systems.

In addition, the ventilation hoods for our two new kitchens have been delivered. They are currently fully shrink-wrapped and protected on site and are expected to be installed and hung within the next couple of weeks.

Looking ahead to the expansion structure, the second-floor slab is scheduled to be poured next week, which will be another visible sign of forward momentum for the project.

Throughout this process, I also want to acknowledge the ongoing efforts of Doug Glover, our Owner’s Representative, and Char Mohr, our Daily Quality Controls Manager. They continue to play an important role on behalf of the membership, supporting coordination and helping ensure the project remains aligned with the standards and vision for Gulf Harbour. Their dedication, along with the efforts of Lonnie and the entire management team, has been instrumental in keeping this complex project moving forward.

Renovation projects of this scale require patience, coordination, and persistence from many different parties. While the journey is not always easy, the destination will be something truly special for our membership and for the future of our club. We started this demolition and construction July 7, 2025. We have literally just crossed the halfway threshold to completion by December 15, 2026.

So, I would simply ask that we stay resilient, keep the faith over these next 260 days, and continue supporting the team working hard to deliver what will ultimately be a spectacular addition to the Gulf Harbour experience. Achieving that vision will require a strong team effort from everyone involved, but together we will get there.

Thank you, as always, for your patience, encouragement, and continued support. As always, attached are recent photographs taken by Lonnie.

Sincerely,

Bill Lambert

President, Gulf Harbour Board of Governors
