Developer Ira Fenton and former New York Giant Tucker Frederickson who were part of the team that developed The Bear’s Club and The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club & Spa, Jupiter (now Trump National Golf Club, Jupiter), came up with the idea. Through their connections in South Florida, including landlord and partner, Bjarne Borg, they found other like-minded individuals who were interested in bringing something fresh and new to northern Palm Beach County.
Joining Fenton, Frederickson, and Borg as founding partners of 1000 NORTH are Ernie Els, Michael Jordan, Bill Terlato, Morton Bouchard, Vincent Cerone, Russell and Lauren Fuchs, Raj Mantena, Stephen Mendell, Marvin Shanken, Rick Stoddard, Richard Rifkin, and Charles and Kathryn Theofilos. Since the original group came together, many professional athletes and celebrities have joined the partnership team.
“We wanted to give guests something they can’t find in our area – an experience many people travel to Miami or New York to get. We’re bringing that to Jupiter, and topping it off with a beautiful waterfront view of the Jupiter Lighthouse. Those coming to 1000 NORTH can even arrive by boat if they prefer. Our 350-foot dock will be open to guests,” Fenton said.

Ira is a partner with Jack Nicklaus in GBR Properties, which is the majority partner of The Bear’s Club Development Company (BCDC). He was also president of Golden Bear Financial Services and a board member of Nicklaus’ Golden Bear International. BCDC developed The Bear’s Club and The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club and Spa (now Trump National Golf Club and Spa), and Fenton co-managed the development activities of both. He and Nicklaus have been partners and co-developers on several golf and residential communities. Fenton was a partner with Michael Pascucci of Melville, New York, in the development of The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club at Creighton Farms in Aldie, Virginia. Fenton identified and assisted Pascucci in the land acquisition for Sebonack Golf Club in Southampton, New York, and served as a consultant in its development.
Prior to joining Golden Bear International, Fenton was executive vice president of Fogelman Properties, a Memphis, Tenn.-based apartment developer and manager of more than 15,000 units. He was responsible for structuring, negotiating, and raising more than $1 billion of debt and equity financing, and supervised all acquisitions.
In 2017, Fenton created, developed, and managed 1000 NORTH in Jupiter, Florida, with partners Michael Jordan, Ernie Els, Raj Mantena, Bill Terlato, Tucker Frederickson, and others.
Hodney brings 30 years of culinary expertise and leadership to the 1000 NORTH kitchen. He previously served as 1000 NORTH’s executive sous chef, and prior to that he was the lead sauté cook. Hodney was promoted to executive chef after demonstrating culinary excellence and taking the initiative to enhance the restaurant’s kitchen system and processes. He is a mentor who takes time to train and coach his team, ensuring they have the information and tools necessary to perform their roles skillfully. Before joining 1000 NORTH, Hodney served as the executive sous chef for The Breakers Palm Beach from 2015 to 2018. He got his start in the culinary industry in Fort Lauderdale after earning an associate degree in culinary arts. In his early career, Hodney served as a chef for several restaurants on Las Olas Boulevard, including Mark’s Las Olas and 4140. A first-generation American, Hodney developed a palate for fresh, high-end cuisine at an early age. His Caribbean roots and large family gatherings inspired his love for cooking. Now residing in Port St. Lucie, Hodney likes to spend time with his two children, Josiah and Joannella, and his wife Kristina.
In 2016, Claudia worked alongside Ira Fenton and Tucker Frederickson during the conception of what is now known as 1000 NORTH. She was the very first employee and has witnessed its growth and success from the start. Born in Colombia, South America, Claudia’s family immigrated to Long Island, New York, when she was a child. While working in restaurants in The Hamptons, she realized hospitality was her calling, and with a passion for the ocean, she relocated to Florida in 1985, continuing her work in the hospitality industry.
Claudia’s relationship with Mr. Fenton led her to a key role at 1000 NORTH, focusing on the membership program. What makes 1000 NORTH unique is not only the quality food and drink offered, but the value of the membership program and its members. Claudia is the face of the membership program, the woman behind the exclusive Club Lounge and rave-worthy member events throughout the year. She ensures that each member is treated with the utmost respect and enjoys the finest dining experience in Palm Beach County.
As part of the restaurant’s opening team, Karly has served as the Director of Events at 1000 NORTH since 2017. She is responsible for planning and executing special events ranging from intimate and private occasions to full restaurant takeovers. Karly oversees service, reservations, ongoing team training, and administrative efforts. She specializes in creating unique and personalized experiences for every guest and club member.
Karly has a decade of hospitality experience in luxury, high-end establishments, including The Breakers Palm Beach. A native of Palm Beach County, she graduated cum laude from Florida State University with a bachelor’s degree in hospitality management. Karly enjoys food and wine pairings, traveling, and spending time on the water.
We are grateful to our consultants for their help in making our dream a reality.
