Growing up, David Spirk and his brother-turned-business partner Robert spent summers at Steel Club, a family-oriented, 18-hole Donald Ross-designed facility that opened in Lower Saucon in 1934. In 1985, Dave founded Spirk Brothers, a full-service construction and project management company.
Spirk Brothers quickly became a trusted name in the Lehigh Valley and beyond. “In addition to our many local projects, we operate in 17 states up and down the East Coast,” notes Allison Spirk, Director of Operations.
In 2018, the brothers and other partners purchased Steel Club’s assets, planning to reimagine the traditional country club model. Innovative developments have been underway Club-wide, starting with the restaurant. “At the time of purchase, there were about 20 dining members. We now have over 30,000,” says Grace Spirk, General Manager. Plans also include a par-3 course, enhanced event/restaurant venues, indoor tennis/pickleball courts, a gym, a multi-story driving range and an all-season turf field.
“We’re especially looking forward to the Residences at Steel Club project,” adds Dave, “which will be a collection of 168 custom homes spread throughout four locations on our 280-acre campus.” Each home will be uniquely customized to the buyer’s specific tastes and preferences. A golf cart, cart garage and first-floor primary suite are some of the features already included in each home. Roads are named after some of the brothers’ partners.
Development of the first 37-home subdivision, Ross Hill, is already underway. To learn more, please contact Kelsey Sayler, Director of Residential Sales, by emailing residences@steel.club or calling/texting 484.895.5078.
