Development of the Pennsauken Mart Site

Posted at 2:41 PM, Feb. 14, 2006

In a press release published in SouthJersey.com, plans are in the works to develop a magnificent complex with 700 townhouses and condominiums, a hotel, conference center, amphitheater and upscale shops with underground parking.

The eyesore cinder-block building will be demolished within the next six months to make way for the new Crossroads development. The 35-acre site is situated at the northwestern corner of Camden County, near the Burlington County border, at the intersection of Routes 130 and 73.

Freeholder director Louis Cappelli Jr. says that the project – expected to take three to five years – incorporates smart growth principles by including a shuttle to the nearby River Line rail station on River Road and making the best use of the highway system.

Officials from Beazer, the developer, said proximity to Philadelphia – roughly a five to 10 minute drive from the Crossroads – is one of the major marketing advantages for selling the homes in the range of $250,000 to $350,000.
