"Straub describes the 115,000-square-foot clubhouse as 'a new Breakers.'"

Thanks to Steven T. for Eve Samples story on the proud new owner of Tesoro, the former Ginn property.

Last month, the court approved the sale of Tesoro's assets to Straub's West Coast Investors LLC. He paid $10.99 million for 353 lots, a golf course and another golf course lease, 11 acres of commercial property, a racquet club and a clubhouse.

Straub describes the 115,000-square-foot clubhouse as "a new Breakers."

115,000 square feet? I can't imagine why this place didn't work.

I think I'll buy a lot, build a house and join the club.

Just in case anybody misses the reference to "The Breakers":

I think "The Breakers" refers to the grand hotel in nearby Palm Beach, FL:
