Would you join a club for families where you and your kids can work, play, relax, exercise, dine?

From @bhargreaves

1,500 families signed up for The Beginning Clubhouse before they even opened the doors. While Soho House kicks kids out at 6pm, these founders are building a club exclusively for families.
Here's how they're creating a category that didn't exist in NYC:

Most private clubs represent extended adolescence.
• Soho House kicks kids out at 6pm
• Country clubs optimize for childless professionals
• "Family spaces" are either Chuck E. Cheese chaos or sterile community centers

The problem is simple: Modern families already spend $2,400/month on fragmented services:
• Boutique gyms
• Co-working
• Childcare

But there's nowhere that everyone's actually happy for 3+ hours.

Enter The Beginning: A 45,000 sq ft family club opening summer 2026 in Brooklyn Heights.

The founders aren't just building a business. They're local parents solving their own problems.

1/ The niche strategy works:
Other clubs prove it:
• Soho House for creatives
• The Lighthouse for content creators
• San Vicente for celebrities escaping paparazzi

60% of private clubs report net-new member growth since 2022.

Now families get their turn.

2/ The location makes perfect sense:

50 Columbia Heights, originally built- in 1924.

Seven floors. Manhattan skyline views. Walking distance to Brooklyn Bridge Park.

The economics look solid:
• ~$400/month for adults
• ~$200/month per child
• Target capacity: 1,500 families

They hit that number in pre-registrations alone.

3/ The market gap:
Traditional hospitality real estate completely ignores families with money.

This isn't just another club.

It's infrastructure for a lifestyle that doesn't exist yet.

The Radical Play Concept Partners have proven the need with a similar project based in Dallas.

Everyone has seen the power of User-Generated Content 'UGC' in the age of social media. Here's why UGC 2.0 or 'User-Generated Collects' will be the next evolution of this format unlocked by the blockchain. https://t.co/B7UqAolA2N

Masks work.
Climate change is real.
Vaccines are effective.

If a hospital worker can wear a mask nonstop during a 10-hour shift.

If women can wear masks during labor.

You can wear a mask while running an errand.
