"It is one of the most important parts of the decision," Cunningham says. "e hangar itself is what brings people through the door, but the community is what makes them want to stay." With locations now operating in West Palm Beach and Riviera Beach, and a forthcoming Hamptons destination scheduled to break ground in Fall 2026 and open in 2027, e Hangar combines the privacy and security of ownership with the atmosphere of a private members' club. Owners receive equity membership and access to exclusive amenities including Owners' Lounges, executive boardrooms, golf and driving simulators, rooftop sunset decks, concierge-supported services, and a growing network of fellow collectors. "When a prospective owner sees how the Owners Lounge functions, how the rooftop becomes a gathering space, and how owners interact with one another, the attraction is both personal and emotional and goes well beyond a simple real estate purchase." at community extends beyond the properties themselves through e Collective, a curated calendar of experiences designed around shared passions. Signature events include private rallies, owner-hosted gatherings, curated social events, and the annual Hangar Crawl, where members open their hangar doors and invite fellow owners to explore their collections and personal spaces. Owners also participate in international experiences that blur the lines between club membership, luxury travel, and collector culture. e upcoming Dolomites Grand Tour will take participants through more than 350 kilometers of northern Italy's most celebrated mountain roads behind the wheel of Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and Porsches. e route traverses iconic alpine passes including Passo Sella, Passo Pordoi, Passo Falzarego, and Passo Giau, complemented by Michelin-starred dining and luxury accommodations. Additional experiences have included attendance at the Monaco Grand Prix aboard a superyacht through relationships with Ferrari and Canossa. "e community is one of the most valuable parts of ownership," Cunningham says. "e hangar is the foundation, but it is the network of fellow collectors and the experiences we build around them that extend ownership beyond that."
