The Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) Miami clubhouse is moving forward after years of planning and speculation. The project will establish a physical clubhouse for members of the BAYC community in Miami, Florida. The clubhouse is part of the broader ecosystem associated with Yuga Labs, the company behind the Bored Ape NFT collection.
Yuga Labs confirmed that the clubhouse will occupy a multi-story building in Miami. The space will combine private member areas with public zones for events and cultural programming. Construction and interior planning have progressed through 2025, with renovations underway in early 2026.
The Miami clubhouse joins other real-world BAYC initiatives, including experiences and community hubs in major cities. Yuga Labs said the clubhouse aims to support creative collaboration, events tied to BAYC culture, and social gatherings for members holding qualifying NFTs linked to the BAYC ecosystem.
Location and Features of the BAYC Miami Clubhouse
The clubhouse is located in the heart of Miami. Yuga Labs selected the property based on its proximity to cultural districts and ease of access for residents and visitors. The building’s design includes areas for lounges, workspaces, networking, and special events. It also features exhibition spaces for art and digital culture installations.
BAYC members will have exclusive access to certain areas. Members who hold specific NFTs linked to Yuga Labs projects will receive membership privileges. Public access events will also take place in designated zones of the clubhouse. These events will include panels, workshops, and community meetups.
Timeline and Development
The project became public in late 2025 after months of internal planning. Yuga Labs began scouting locations and negotiating leases in 2024. Construction and build-out work progressed into 2025, with details emerging through permits and public filings.
By late 2025, Yuga Labs confirmed that structural work and interior design planning were underway. The company expects phased openings of clubhouse areas throughout 2026. Some spaces may open for events even before full build-out is complete.
The clubhouse is part of Yuga Labs’ broader real-world strategy, which includes events tied to NFT holder communities, metaverse integrations, and partner collaborations. Yuga Labs has not provided exact opening dates but continues construction and community engagement.
Community and Membership
The Bored Ape Yacht Club has a large global community built around its NFT collections. Eligibility for clubhouse membership is tied to ownership of specific BAYC or related Yuga Labs NFTs. These tokens grant holders access privileges and event invitations.
Clubhouse developments have drawn attention from both BAYC holders and the wider NFT community. Yuga Labs has stated that the clubhouse will host a range of activities, from casual meetups to collaborations with cultural partners.
The project reflects an ongoing trend of blockchain communities expanding into physical spaces. Construction and planning continue in early 2026 as Yuga Labs prepares the Miami clubhouse for future use.
