MILLENNIUM CHERRY GROVE UPDATE

We’ve reached out to Ernesto Scaglione, owner and developer of the future Millennium restaurant/club/catering space in Cherry Grove for an update about his current renovation plans. We’ve got some essential information to report today.

He confirmed that the renovation remains ongoing and that this season he will be concentrating on interior renovation. However there has been a change in plans for an opening date. It won’t be in 2026 but 2027 instead.

As most residents of Cherry Grove and FI Pines know full well renovation work can take more time to finish than first hoped. A good current example is the ongoing work at the Tryst Hotel in FI Pines. It’s taking longer than first hoped, for any of a variety of reasons but no so unusual considering the history of prior renovation work on FI, think the rebuild of the Cherry Grove hotel for example, years in the making.

Our photo today, from when this editor visited the building in late August 2024. It’s a second outside floor look, those doors leading to the new high ceiling catering space that will be part of this business. And in the upper right corner, a view of the third-floor deck railing beyond which is the third-floor deck which is going to have some spectacular views not just of the ocean but all points around the building too.

This August it looks like we will be returning to add to our ongoing photo album to get a closer view of the progress.
