LOWER MACUNGIE TOWNSHIP, PA —The Goldenberg Group and TCH Development have begun construction of the Hamilton Crossings Shopping Center in Lower Macungie Township, Lehigh County, PA.

The 565,000-square-foot project—one of the largest open air shopping center developments in the country in recent years—will be anchored by Target, Costco Wholesale Club and Whole Foods, and will be complemented by first-class retailers including Dick's Sporting Goods, Nordstrom Rack, Old Navy, Rally House, Five Below, Designer Shoe Warehouse (DSW), Pier 1 Imports and Ulta Cosmetics. The Hamilton Crossings Shopping Center is scheduled to open in July of 2016.

The project occupies about 70 acres of commercial property between Hamilton Boulevard and the Route 222 Bypass at Krocks Road, with direct access to the shopping center from Route 222. Hamilton Crossings will showcase the first Costco and first Whole Foods in the Lehigh Valley. The project includes a number of public improvements, including significant regional roadway improvements, new technology in the form of adaptive traffic control signals and a regional storm water detention facility that will help address flooding conditions. The project will also include amenities such as bike and walking paths, public gathering areas and a connection to the historical log cabin site on the adjacent Wescosville Park.
