SPRING TWP., Pa. — With dirt moving and heavy equipment on site, many wonder what’s going on at the Broadcast District at Spring Township.
“We’re full steam ahead right now,” said Matt Robinson, senior vice president of mixed-use development at SJC Ventures. “Weather permitting, I think we should see buildings going vertical really at the end of the spring or the beginning of the summer.”
Right now, crews are focused on site preparation.
“Once those utilities go in the ground, we can start paving roads and putting in curbs and sidewalks… and start erecting those buildings,” Robinson said.
Whole Foods Market will anchor the 115,000-square-foot development on Broadcasting Road, between Route 222 and Paper Mill Road. About 15 to 20 other tenants have committed so far.
“We’re pleased to announce that we’re also going to have a Chase Bank, 7 Brew Coffee, Qdoba, Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen, Hair Cuttery, Laser Away, Luna Nail Lounge, Sleep Number…” Robinson said.
Other tenants that were previously announced include BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse, First Watch, Nothing Bundt Cakes, and Shake Shack.
There’s still about 10,000 square feet left to lease.
Developers said they’re hoping to add pet services, fitness options and possibly another major restaurant. And there’s more.
“We have also named the streets,” Robinson said. “The main entrance off Broadcasting Road will be Echo Ridge Drive… and the main entrance off Paper Mill Road, that will be Signal Boulevard.”
The development will also include more than 400 townhomes, more than 300 apartments, 2.5 acres of open greenspace, and a one-mile walking trail.
The full project is expected to open in the fall of 2027.
