Sand-Locked Yachts in the Desert: Joshua Tree’s Proposed Compass Yacht Club
The Compass Yacht Club is the name of a project proposed for a plot of land just off Border Avenue and Twentynine Palms Highway here in Joshua Tree. The 58 room nautical-themed boutique hotel will feature a public restaurant and bar, wellness center, pool and flexible indoor/outdoor spaces. A Town Hall meeting at the Joshua Tree Community Center was held on Wednesday, December 17th.
Expected at the meeting: the developers presented their initial plans, went through site renderings, discussed anticipated community benefits and answered questions from residents and local businesses. The proposed project is in very early stages – it’s not even on the county’s Land Use Services website yet. However, the proposed project has a website of it’s own where you can see renderings and photos of the salvaged sand-locked yachts that will potentially surround the paranormal-shaped lobby and clubhouse.
The renderings also show an inviting pool and a lush green lawn radiating out from the saucer-shaped building. The site of the proposed “upscale, experiential” hotel will be at the southern border of a 23 acre lot right off Twentynine Palms Highway. The website touts a 10-minute walk to downtown Joshua Tree, but doesn’t say if they will also provide the pedestrian paths to safely take hotel guests along the busy highway.
