In the penthouse of a Rockefeller Center tower, a new social club is betting that executives will pay $400 a month for access to its lounges and its elite network of CEOs and directors.
Club 75, which opened in October 2018, is operated and managed by Convene, the first venture of its kind for the flexible working company. The club was designed in partnership with the building's landlord, RXR Realty.
I recently took a tour of the penthouse space, which includes shared workspaces, a conference room, a billiards table, and a full restaurant and bar.
"We're not an office, we're certainly not your home, but we want to try to find something in between," Camilla Andersson-Stuessi of Convene told me. "A lot of our members here are very established either entrepreneurs or business leaders that have their own offices that are looking for another space to connect and to interact and to do the meetings that they don't do in their office or do the work that's not necessarily on your laptop."
The 300+ members come from companies including Bloomberg, Cadillac, ESPN, UBS, Christie's, as well as from Bank of America and Merrill Lynch, which are tenants of the building. The most common job titles of members at Club 75, according to Andersson-Stuessi, are CEO, president, founder, partner, director, and head of marketing.
I took a tour of Club 75 on a recent spring afternoon. Here's what it looks like.
