NEWTOWN, PA: Major redevelopment project gets underway



What could end up being an estimated $100 million redevelopment project on South State Street in Newtown, Pa., has finally broken ground.

The first phase of Steeple View is underway and involves constructing a three-story building that will have 13,000 square feet of retail space and 10 condominiums. Banana Republic and Francesca’s will occupy the retail space. It is expected to be completed next December.

At build out, Steeple View will eventually occupy land along State Street beginning at Centre Avenue and stretching to Newtown Creek.

The developer, Allan H. Smith, first presented his plans for Steeple View in 2009 and the borough approved the first phase of the project in 2013. The first phase is being constructed on a former car dealer lot at State and Penn streets.

The second phase, which is still going through the local approval process, will be constructed on nine acres along State Street that runs from Centre Avenue to the former dealership site.

The overall project involves constructing a dozen buildings that will have retail, restaurants, office and residential uses as well as a town square and 500-vehicle parking garage.

The project, once completed, will be one of the largest redevelopments in the heart of the Bucks County community.
