Southpointe - The Cranberry of the South?



Source: southpointechamber.com

 

For years, when a new restaurant, department store or, well, virtually anything new comes to the Pittsburgh area, it’s inevitable – they usually end up in Cranberry.  Cranberry was, and still very much is, an area that scores very well with businesses looking to break into this marketplace.  It is a place with higher income levels and more disposable income.  However, as the Marcellus Shale industry continues its upswing, Southpointe keeps getting hotter and hotter.

A decade ago, there were a few shops, a golf club and some residential areas.  Today, there is an ice rink where the Pittsburgh Penguins spend their days practicing, corporate headquarters of Consol Energy, Mylan Labs, Accu Trex Products, USG Insurance, Metso Minerals, UBS, Range Resources  and Ness Technologies, to name a few.  The planned retail amenities are endless – restaurants, a hair salon, an Italian market, childcare facility, health club/fitness center and several hotels. 

Southpointe is quickly becoming a destination for shopping, entertainment and dining.  But, if you already happen to live or work there, considering all of the amenities, you never have to leave.
