We were saddened to learn of the passing of Matt Lambert, longtime General Manager/COO of The Country Club at Mirasol, who passed away on September 1, 2026 at age 56 following a courageous battle with cancer.

Matt led Mirasol for over two decades, guiding the club through developer turnover, a $40M Facilities Enhancement Plan, and the addition of the Sports Complex and indoor pickleball facility. He was known throughout the club industry as a mentor who took real pride in developing his team, through programs like Manager in Development and his monthly Meals with Matt.

Our thoughts are with his wife Sharon and their children, Jack, Julia, Jordan, and Ryan, and with the entire Mirasol community during this time.

The project would transform a long-vacant space into an interactive destination designed to enhance the visitor experience and further activate the mall. The proposal is scheduled for a city vote this week.
