The 33,000-square-foot Harbor Club is also under construction and will provide resort-style pools, a grand social hall, restaurant and bar, fitness center, aerobics studio, and numerous spaces for recreation and social gatherings.
Residents can start their day in the 24-hour fitness studio or stretch zone, participate in wellness programs, and enjoy outdoor fitness activities. The Community Center also offers a sports lounge, billiards and ping pong, arts and crafts areas, meeting and lecture spaces, patio lounge, and an outdoor event plaza.
