Demolition began this week to make room for what Vineland City officials said is one the biggest downtown development projects in recent years.
The estimated $18 million Landis Square residential-retail complex also marks the second – and possibly last – of the Four Corners development projects originally planned to be built at the intersection of East Landis and East avenues.
City officials said Landis Square represents the largest downtown construction project since the Landis Theater reopened in 2010 and Landis Market Place opened in 2011.
City officials expect the project to spur additional downtown development. The residential component also will place residents in a position to shop and walk on Landis Avenue.
