NORTH FAYETTE TOWNSHIP, Pa. — Continental Properties and Elmhurst just announced the groundbreaking of Springs at North Fayette, a new 312-home garden-style apartment community located at Summit Park Drive and Park Lane Drive in North Fayette Township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. The development marks Continental’s entry into the Pittsburgh market and will be the company’s first community in Pennsylvania.
Located right off the Parkway West/Interstate 376 and Summit Park Drive, Springs at North Fayette will provide residents with convenient access to employment, shopping, dining, and destinations throughout Pittsburgh’s western suburbs. The Springs at North Fayette will be located in Pittsburgh's largest suburban office market, with more than 325,000 jobs located within a 25-minute drive of the community, and nearby employers including Dick's Sporting Goods, FedEx Ground, Nova Chemicals, Covestro, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Michael Baker International, Bayer, and Cigna.
The surrounding area also offers an established concentration of retail and dining, including The Mall at Robinson, Costco, IKEA, Walmart, Target, and several other multiple in-line shopping centers. Additionally, Springs at North Fayette will be a ten-minute drive from the award-winning, newly-renovated Pittsburgh International Airport, a $1.7 billion transformation that has enhanced the region's connectivity and travel infrastructure.
“We’ve been looking for the right opportunity to enter the Pittsburgh market for several years, and North Fayette stood out for its combination of employment access, established retail and dining, and connectivity to the Parkway West/I-376,” said Charlie Wigdale, Acquisition Director. “Springs at North Fayette gives us the opportunity to introduce the Springs brand to Pennsylvania in a location that is well positioned to serve the area’s housing needs and support our long-term presence in the market.”
The development brings together Continental’s national multifamily development and operating experience with Elmhurst’s long-standing local relationships and five decades of real estate investment and development experience in the Pittsburgh region.
“Elmhurst has invested in Pittsburgh for more than five decades, and as such, we value partnerships built around a shared long-term perspective,” said Bill Hunt, President & CEO of Elmhurst. “By combining Continental's deep multifamily experience with Elmhurt's regional expertise, Springs at North Fayette will deliver high-quality housing to a strategic location with strong regional connectivity and access to one of Pittsburgh's major employment centers."
Springs at North Fayette will offer studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartment homes within a gated community featuring a pet park, EV charging, carport options, and private enclosed yards on select homes. Smart-home technology, including keyless entry, smart thermostats, and video doorbells, will also be available in approximately half of the community’s apartment homes.
Pre-leasing is expected to begin in spring 2027, with the community clubhouse anticipated for completion in August 2027 and the first residential building in September 2027.
