State College Town Centre
Project Overview
The RDA shines in collaboration! And State College Town Centre is the perfect example of what’s possible when public and private entities each bring their unique brand of firepower to a project.
In this public-private partnership between the RDA and Highland Holding Group, the RDA handled the land acquisition, set goals for what the scope of the project should be based on local needs and interest, and then solicited developer interest to help bring the vision to life.
Now, a previously empty Allen Street lot will welcome a 9-story boutique hotel, planned to include two restaurants with outdoor and rooftop dining options as well as music and banquet venues.
And next door, a food hall style incubator kitchen will provide space for multiple chefs to solidify concepts and build solid brand roots. State College locals and visitors will get the benefit of taste testing multiple food concepts under one roof before chefs branch out into brick and mortar spaces of their own, making way for the next round of chefs.
With utility work starting in Fall 2024 and a full demo set to start in Spring 2025, State College Town Centre will bring more beds and high-end, non-student dining to our downtown, realizing a decades-long goal of the RDA.
