New York, NY (PRWEB) November 30, 2006 -- Architecture and interior design firm, Lindsay Newman Architecture and Design, announced today it has been selected by Willowbend Development LLC to design the multi-million dollar permanent clubhouse for the new Liberty National Golf Course. Since opening in the summer of 2006, Liberty National has received international acclaim for its breathtaking design and panoramic views of the Manhattan skyline and Statue of Liberty.
The vision of former Reebok CEO Paul Fireman and son Dan Fireman, President of Willowbend Development, Liberty National is expected to become one of the world's most indelible courses and vie for major championships such as the United States Open, Ryder Cup and President's Cup. The Firemans and Joel Brenner of Willowbend selected John Newman and Cat Lindsay's firm for this prestigious assignment over a group of select firms considered.
"It is a fascinating opportunity to work on a golf clubhouse so close to New York City and one that will become a centerpiece to one of the best courses in the world," said John Newman. "We're excited to be involved in the evolution of Liberty National and intend to create a signature experience," added Cat Lindsay.
"Liberty National is about more than just golf, it's a lifestyle…from our world-class service and amenities to the latest in technology," said Dan Fireman. "With that in mind, we look forward to working with Lindsay Newman Architecture and Design to set a new standard with this clubhouse."
Liberty National's Clubhouse, estimated to cost $30 million, will be a magnificent haven on the Liberty National waterfront site. Design inspiration for the structure is drawn from the harbor nearby. The clubhouse interior will be elegant and chic in keeping with the overall character of Liberty National as a place of leisure and retreat. Lindsay Newman will have a full architectural design late this year in order to break ground in December.
