Offering the residents of FishHawk Ranch resort-style amenities in a neighborhood-friendly, community-based setting, the Starling Club at FishHawk Ranch is a premier club house and recreational facility located in Lithia, Florida within the FishHawk Ranch community. FishHawk Ranch offers a pedestrian-friendly neighborhood with 25 miles of nature trails winding throughout the development and easy access to schools, restaurants, and shopping.

The Starling Club offers residents incredible amenities such as a fitness facility, family pool, splash around pool playground, dog park, and game room that is fully equipped with two pool tables, an air hockey table, two foosball tables, and a variety of board games for residents to enjoy. Adjacent to the game room is a screened patio with bistro tables and two ping pong tables. In addition, connected to the fitness facility is a playroom equipped with a flat screen television and over-sized bean bags – great for children to use while adults are working out.

However, the amenities that the incredible set of buildings have to offer do not stop with social and recreational benefits. The Starling Club is also certified LEED Gold for its excellence in sustainable design and construction.

Certified on July 8th, 2013, this project also managed to reduce its water use by 40%, and additionally, also eliminate the use of potable water for irrigation completely.
