Overview: 

Greenfield is one of central Pennsylvania’s largest and most established mix use projects.  Located at US. RT 30 and Greenfield Road in Lancaster County, Greenfield encompasses over 750 manicure acres containing 3.8M square feet of commercial/industrial real estate, 540 apartments, 400 manufactured housing units, and 2 hotels branded by Hilton and Marriott.  Greenfield is called home by over 2,500 employees, 3,000 students and 4,000 residents.  

Evolution: 

Greenfield was born from a 40 acre, industrially zoned, land-locked parcel of ground along US. Rt. 30. Originally acquired as an expansion site for High Steel Structures, in the 1960’s, the owners soon had another vision for the site.  The site was developed into 7, for-lease industrial buildings.  With the success of this project, Greenfield expanded over the next 50 years, acquiring five farms and a dozen adjoining, developed tracks. Now totaling over 750 acres, there are ninety office, flex and industrial buildings totaling 3.4M square feet.  

In the 1980’s Greenfield added residential to its mix with Greenfield Estates, a 446-unit community with a mix of 1,2, 3-bedroom apartments. The Villages at Greenfield, a manufactured housing community, was added during this same decade. In the 1990’s support retail was added giving our residents and tenants access to small shop retail, amenities and a variety of restaurants. It was during this period that hospitality was added with the completion of the Lancaster Hampton Inn by Hilton. 

The 2000’s ushered in more commercial industrial properties, a second hotel- Courtyard by Marriott and a new luxury residential community, The Reserve, totaling 79 units in an elevator serviced building.  

Today, Greenfield is adding two new industrial buildings totaling 450,000 square feet as well as 311 new luxury apartments.  Greenfield has six available sites for new projects before being fully built out.
