McCandless Crossing is an open-air

lifestyle center in McCandless, Pennsylvania, about 10 miles north of Pittsburgh. The $100 million development was completed in late 2016.[1]

History

The

Lowe's Home Improvement store and smaller shops. As of 2013, phases two and three were completed including a Hilton Home2 hotel, an LA Fitness, and a day care center.[2]

The fourth phase, which includes a 250,000 square feet (23,000 m2)

townhomes, developed by Ryan Homes.[4]

On January 30, 2014, it was announced that the work on McCandless Crossing would extend into 2016 due to harsh winter weather conditions delaying progress.[5]

Dick's Sporting Goods became the first completed business of phase four and opened on April 9, 2014, replacing the previous

Shoppes at Northway location.[6] The Cinemark movie theater opened in September 2014, with various restaurants and retailers opening in July and August 2014.[7][8]

In 2016, the development was mostly completed and near capacity as numerous restaurants and retailers moved in. A Fairfield by Marriott hotel opened in 2017,[9] and a 10-bed Allegheny Health Network hospital opened in 2020.[10] A proposed 4-story office tower called McCandless Town Center[11] remains unbuilt.

Development

The project is being developed by AdVenture Development, a development firm based in Selma, North Carolina. The project consists of four phases each occupying a section of the 130-acre site.[12] The first phase opened in 2010 with a Lowe's Home Improvement store, the second in 2011 with an LA Fitness, and the third in 2013 with a Hilton Home2 hotel.[2] The fourth phase was expected to partially open in spring of 2014.[3]

The development has been a part of a local boom in

senior housing construction, with two developments located in McCandless Crossing.[13]
