WindRiver Unveils 25,000-Square-Foot Clubhouse Village Designed by Renowned Architecture Firm
LENOIR CITY, Tenn. – June 11, 2026 – WindRiver, a gated lakefront and golf community on Tellico Lake in Lenoir City, Tennessee, is advancing its evolution as East Tennessee’s most comprehensive retirement destination with the upcoming opening of Clubhouse Village, a 25,000-square-foot facility designed by the internationally renowned architectural firm Kuo Diedrich Chi (KDC). The project, which broke ground in March 2025, is scheduled to open in Summer 2026.
Clubhouse Village represents a significant expansion of WindRiver’s lifestyle amenities and reflects the community’s commitment to providing world-class experiences for its residents. The facility was designed by KDC, an architecture firm known for creating distinctive, high-design residential and community spaces across the United States.
“When residents choose WindRiver, they’re selecting a complete lifestyle — championship golf, lakefront living, and now, a world-class community center that rivals amenities found in the finest retirement destinations in the country,” said Kari Fisher, Sales & Marketing Manager of WindRiver. “Clubhouse Village will be the heart of our community, a gathering place where residents connect, celebrate, and enjoy the active retirement lifestyle they’ve earned.”
A Destination Amenity for Every Lifestyle
Clubhouse Village will feature a comprehensive range of amenities designed to enhance community life across multiple interests and social styles:
Dining & Hospitality — Multiple dining venues and bars offering both casual and upscale culinary experiences, with a commitment to chef-led world-class dining.
Panoramic Spaces — Indoor and outdoor areas showcasing 360-degree vistas of Tellico Lake and the Great Smoky Mountains, designed to maximize the natural beauty surrounding the community.
Rooftop Terrace — An elevated social space featuring unobstructed lake and mountain views, perfect for entertaining, special events, and everyday gatherings.
Wellness Center — State-of-the-art fitness facilities, spa services, and group fitness studios to support active, healthy lifestyles.
