Valley Crest Commons

Valley Crest is a collection of parcels totaling ±66 acres generally located at the intersection of Pennsylvania Route 309 and Interstate 81 Exit 170 A&B in Plains Township, Pennsylvania. The parcel is zoned MU (Mixed Use), generally permitting residential and commercial development. Valley Crest LP, owner of the property, proposes to redevelop the site as a shopping center that may include up to 410,000 SF of retail buildings. The project is accessible via Pennsylvania Route 309 and is located on the eastern side of Wilkes-Barre’s regional shopping, entertainment, and dining district. Valley Crest Real Estate, LP proposes new traffic infrastructure in the Valley Crest area to: a) provide access to the site, and b) improve traffic flow in the Pennsylvania Route 309 and Mundy Street corridors. The site is located approximately one-quarter (¼) mile from Wyoming Valley Mall (±900,000 SF). It is also less than one (1) mile from the area’s two (2) dominant power centers: Arena Hub Plaza (±438,000 SF, anchored by Lowe’s) and Wilkes-Barre Township Commons (±350,000 SF, anchored by Target). Prominent regional destinations near the site include Mohegan Sun Pocono, Mohegan Sun Arena, Motorworld, and Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center.
