Goldman is exploring improvements to the Elite clubs, particularly tennis court lighting, heating and air conditioning. Improvements could also include a Quad-like amenity at the Brookfield location, according to the announcement.

Yuseph will be staying on in an advisory and programming role to help with the transition.

“When I met Peter and his team, I knew that his philosophy and business operation would be a great fit for Elite Sports Clubs moving forward,” Yuspeh said.
