Area Description

The subject property is located in Carlisle, PA, within the Walnut Bottom Towne Center and sits adjacent to a 128,000 SF U Haul Rental Retail & Self Storage Center. The Towne Center is centrally located in the Walnut Bottom Corridor and is accompanied by tenants including Giant Foods anchored center, Members 1st Federal Credit Union, Belco Community Credit Union, Mountz Jewelers, Verizon Wireless, M&T Bank, and several medical offices which benefit from the immediate proximity to the UPMC Pinnacle Hospital Campus which serves Greater Carlisle and the surrounding Counties. The Walnut Bottom Corridor is the Township's primary focus because of the expansive growth that has taken place and that is about to be underway. The corridor has seen a massive resurgence in recent years from the growth of the UPMC Hospital and surrounding medical practices, and also the growth of new industrial developments because of the proximity to I-81.  A critical mass of Fortune 500 Companies calling Carlisle, PA home to their East Coast DC facilities. The Subject Property is one of three "Catalyst Sites" that are in the center of the Township's Walnut Bottom Corridor Master Plan to have this area be a pedestrian friendly "Vibrant Town Center" by 2030. The current Walnut Bottom Towne Center is expected to add additional pad site development to revitalize the retail and amenities in the area that will incorporate the existing center and enhance the Subject Property tremendously. The other two sites are development sites that will soon be underway and sit directly adjacent to the Subject Property. Directly across Walnut Bottom Rd is a 41 acre mixed-use development known as Cambria Place. Preliminary land development plans were approved in Q3 2021 and proposes 396 new residential units: 60 townhomes and 336 apartment units within 7 buildings, plus a clubhouse. The final Catalyst Site is 126 acres of land that sits immediately to the southwest of the subject property. As currently proposed, development on this site is a walkable neighborhood with a diversity of housing options, small parklets, continuous sidewalks, new office and retail uses in walking distance, and a variety of trails and bike paths throughout to create a dynamic environment that attracts businesses and residents alike. Carlisle is the county seat of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, which is the fastest growing County in the state of Pennsylvania.
