CORE Club is an ultra-exclusive private members club in New York City founded in 2005 by Jennie Enterprise. The club originally operated at 66 East 55th Street in Midtown Manhattan, where it established itself as one of the most selective private clubs in the United States, catering to leaders in business, finance, technology, and philanthropy. The founding investors included real estate developer Aby Rosen, musician Roger Waters, and fashion designer Kenneth Cole.
In September 2023, CORE Club relocated to a significantly larger 60,000-square-foot space occupying the top four floors of 711 Fifth Avenue, designed by Italian architecture firm m2atelier. The new location includes over 6,000 square feet of outdoor terrace space with views of Central Park, multiple dining venues, private meeting rooms, a wellness center, art galleries, and a screening room. The interiors feature contemporary Italian design with extensive use of marble, custom furnishings, and a curated art collection.
CORE Club membership is structured around several tiers with notably high price points. Individual membership carries an initiation fee of up to 50,000 dollars, with annual dues of approximately 15,000 dollars. Couple memberships carry annual dues of approximately 18,000 dollars. Founding memberships at the new location were priced with initiation fees of up to 100,000 dollars. The club limits its membership to a relatively small number of individuals compared to larger club networks.
The club is known for hosting intimate dinners, speaker series, and cultural events featuring prominent figures from politics, business, and the arts. CORE Club positions itself at the highest end of the private club market, emphasizing discretion, personalized service, and a curated membership drawn from the upper echelons of New York business and cultural life.
