“Our goal here is to continue to be progressive in Evesham and to continue to grow development.”īrown said within two to three years, the property should have a value of more than $30 million, with the project already having received preliminary approval from the township’s planning board.īrown also said the state Department of Transportation has granted approval for the land buffering Route 70 from the start of the center to become a park where residents and shoppers can walk.Īccording to Birdoff, he and his associates anticipate site work and construction of one of the first residential buildings will begin this spring near the center’s Burger King restaurant, which will also eventually be demolished. “I’ve been mayor since 2007, and this project here has been a project that we’ve worked on easily the longest of any project in Evesham Township,” Brown said at a press conference before the demolition began. The center’s two anchor stores - the Super Fresh grocery and Kmart, which eventually became a Sears Essentials store - each closed years ago, leaving a majority of Tri-Towne unused. Over the years, stores came and left the plaza. Tri-Towne Plaza was originally built in 1975 on 20 acres with about 180,000 square feet of buildings. About another 80,000 square feet of retail is also slated for the part of the shopping center that once housed retailers such as Kobe Grill, Subway and Super Fresh, although that area won’t go through full demolition as the Kmart did.
