Susquehanna Union Green is a pedestrian-oriented town center and Traditional Neighborhood Development. It was envisioned to create a community focal point for Susquehanna Township, with a mix of public greens, commercial/retail spaces, a neighborhood grocery, a hotel, and homes and apartments.
A NOD TO HISTORY
The earliest known records indicate that the property was named “Union Green” after its initial conveyance by the proprietors of the Commonwealth in 1786. To honor this legacy, the new community revived its historical name.
Community dialogue has driven the planning process for Union Green. The development team, municipal leadership, and members of the community collaborated to create a multi-phase master plan that expresses the values of the community and establishes a sense of place.
The result is a master plan with over 19 acres of green space (one-third of the overall site), a commercial core with 17 commercial/retail buildings and 110-room hotel, 276 apartments, and 40 homes.
At the heart of Union Green is the Central Green. The Central Green will be the scene of lively community activity and programming, such as outdoor movies, yoga on the lawn, and a pop-up winter village with an ice skating rink.
COMMERCIAL CORE
The Commercial Core at Union Green is a collection of storefronts with distinctive architecture, highly visible signage, and, with courtyards and patios connected to every tenant suite, a cohesive indoor/outdoor experience.
