In 1925 Carl G. Fisher bought extensive land on the east end, planning to turn Montauk into the "Miami Beach of the North." The 200-room Montauk Manor resort, one of the centerpiece projects, was built 1925-27 in the Tudor Revival/Cotswold style by Schultze & Weaver high atop Signal Hill. Other Fisher projects included establishing the Montauk Yacht Club on Star Island in Lake Montauk, Montauk Playhouse the six-story Montauk Improvement Building, and the Montauk Downs Golf Course. Other hotels opening then included Gurney's Inn, built by W. J. and Maude Gurney, who had managed a Fisher hotel in Miami Beach. Fisher lost his fortune in the Crash of 1929 and his grand Montauk plans were shuttered.

Montauk Manor, with it's 140+ rooms, indoor and outdoor pools, 3 tennis courts, spa, squash, health club, putting green, and restaurants, remains an updated luxury facility. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
