Planning Commission Grants Stamp of Approval to Cranberry Promenade

Another slot of vacant Cranberry property will see new life as a shopping center.

Cranberry’s Planning Commission gave its stamp of approval Monday to the Cranberry Promenade, a retail shopping center to be built at the intersection of Route 19 and Ogle View Road.

Plans for the 9-acre space, the site of an abandoned white house, include 35,470 square feet of retail space, including a Aldi's food store, a bank with a drive through and 178,040 square feet of business and professional offices.

Warner Pacific Properties is the developer.

At last week’s commission workshop meeting, Ron Henshaw, director of community development, said plans for the property have been in the works for at least five years.

Cranberry Promenade will next go before the township’s Board of Supervisors for approval.

The planning commission also approved plans for Virginia Manor, a 34,680 square-foot retail and neighborhood shopping center on Route 19 near the intersection with Goehring Road; and the Laughing Lizard Yoga Studio, a 1,150 square foot facility on Marshall Road.

The township supervisors also will consider these plans for approval.
