If small is the new big, then Smith Land & Improvement Corporation has strong capabilities to lead central Pennsylvania’s real estate development through the economic downdraft. With many years of combined development experience and vast community relationships, the Smith Land & Improvement team offers convenient, affordable, and pleasant places to work, shop, relax, and dine.
Development
With a portfolio of nearly 50 properties and four generations of business and community history, Smith Land acquires and develops properties that positively impact the region. Richard Jordan III, President & CEO, states
“We really offer a ‘timeliness of opportunity’ for today’s enterprisers. We pose several questions to ourselves before any acquisition: Is it a sound investment; but more importantly, will it result in economic improvement for all the stakeholders? At every level, the community must be engaged for any office, retail, or industrial venture to flourish. We believe that local development equals local prosperity.”
Smith Land continues to be guided by its conservative development philosophy and fixation on building equity. This belief is evident in the landmark West Shore Plaza retail center, situated between two highly trafficked corridors in Lemoyne, which enjoys a stable tenant base and strong anchors—CVS Pharmacy and Karns Foods, a family-owned, independent grocery store.
Smith Land has a long history of responsible and responsive real estate development with an emphasis on “Improvement.”
