As this series continues across South Central Pennsylvania, one theme is clear: women business owners are not simply participating in the commercial real estate market—they are helping shape how it evolves across asset classes, industries, and submarkets. From Mechanicsburg’s healthcare growth to York’s industrial momentum, each corridor tells a different story of regional expansion driven by intentional real estate decisions.
In this third installment, the focus shifts to Camp Hill and the greater West Shore office market, including nearby communities such as Lemoyne and Harrisburg. This corridor remains one of the region’s most stable and strategically important office submarkets, supported by strong demographics, convenient access, and proximity to major employment centers.
Unlike more volatile urban office environments, the West Shore is defined by steady demand from professional service firms, healthcare providers, counseling practices, and specialized consultants. These users often prioritize long-term occupancy, efficient layouts, convenient parking, and easy access for clients and staff.
Within this environment, women business owners continue to play a meaningful role in shaping occupancy trends and reinforcing the strength of the suburban office sector.
“The Camp Hill and West Shore office market continues to perform because it offers the fundamentals that service-based businesses need—accessibility, visibility, and practical space that supports day-to-day operations,”

Nearby, Shannon Weise, founder of The Anxiety & OCD Treatment Center of Central PA, operates a 1,500-square-foot specialized clinical office, offering both in-person and virtual care. This hybrid approach underscores a broader shift in healthcare delivery, where providers still require high-quality physical space to complement telehealth services. Together, these practices reinforce the continued demand for flexible suburban office environments designed to accommodate both modalities.
Extending into the broader West Shore, Jennifer King, owner of King Health, has developed a women’s metabolic health clinic in Lemoyne, expected to open this fall, and will occupy 2,400 square feet of office space. Her practice reflects the continued evolution of healthcare delivery models that prioritize patient accessibility, specialized care, and modern office configurations designed for clinical efficiency.
Further east, Coleen Terry, owner of ECON Partners, operates a public funding consulting firm with a 4,200-square-foot office presence spanning the Harrisburg and Radnor markets. Her business highlights the intersection of professional consulting, government-related advisory services, and regional office demand that extends beyond traditional suburban boundaries.
Across these examples, a consistent pattern emerges: women-led businesses are actively driving demand in the office sector by aligning operational needs with thoughtfully selected commercial spaces. Whether focused on healthcare, financial services, mental health, or consulting, these businesses depend on well-located, functional office environments that support client interaction, employee experience, and long-term growth.
“These owners are making space decisions with purpose,” Jess said. “They are looking beyond square footage and focusing on how a location can help them serve clients, recruit talent, and grow sustainably.”

For Jess, whose work in the Camp Hill and West Shore office market supports tenants and business owners across a wide range of industries, these transactions reflect a broader trend toward strategic decision-making in suburban office leasing. Her role in guiding clients through site selection and lease negotiation underscores the value of advisory-driven brokerage in a market where space functionality and location strategy are critical.
“The strongest office users in this market know exactly what they need their space to do,” Jess said. “Our job is to help them translate that vision into a real estate solution that supports the next chapter of their business.”

As the West Shore continues to evolve, Camp Hill and its surrounding office corridors remain a cornerstone of stability within Central Pennsylvania’s commercial real estate landscape. Demand for well-positioned office space remains steady, particularly among service-based businesses led by entrepreneurs who are deeply invested in their clients, employees, and communities.
In the final installment of this series, we will connect the broader regional narrative—linking Mechanicsburg, York, and the West Shore office market—to explore how women-led businesses are collectively shaping the future of commercial real estate across Central Pennsylvania.
