Where We Build: Cherry Hill Districts We Serve
Cherry Hill is a large, prosperous suburban township organized around its retail and office corridors, and we work across all of it. Our service area includes:
- The Cherry Hill Mall area – the regional retail anchor and the surrounding shopping and dining district;
- The Route 70 corridor – a dense run of retail, restaurants, hotels, and offices;
- The Route 38 corridor & Garden State Park – big-box retail and the mixed-use redevelopment of the former racetrack;
- The office and medical districts – the suburban office parks and the Jefferson Cherry Hill healthcare presence;
- The township’s residential and civic core – the municipal center and surrounding neighborhood commercial uses.
From a retail buildout at the Cherry Hill Mall to an office fit-out on Route 70 or a medical project near Jefferson, Cherry Hill’s commercial construction spans retail, office, healthcare, and mixed-use work—each with its own demands and rules.
Commercial Sectors We Build in Cherry Hill
Cherry Hill’s retail- and office-driven economy supports a wide range of commercial construction, and Plescia delivers across all of its major sectors:
- Retail & restaurant – buildouts at the Cherry Hill Mall, big-box centers, and the Route 70 and 38 corridors;
- Corporate office & tenant improvements – repositioning and modernizing space in the township’s office parks;
- Healthcare & medical – outpatient centers and medical offices tied to Jefferson Health and the regional systems;
- Hospitality – hotel and guest-facing work along the corridors;
- Mixed-use & multifamily – the Garden State Park redevelopment and transit-adjacent projects;
- Institutional & municipal – civic, educational, and community facilities.
Each of these building types carries its own engineering, compliance, and logistics demands, and our experience across the full range is what lets us match the right approach to the right project.
Project Types We Deliver
Owners come to us for the full spectrum of commercial construction delivery, including:
- Ground-up construction of new commercial, retail, medical, and mixed-use buildings;
- Retail buildouts, from mall and big-box space to corridor storefronts;
- Interior fit-outs and tenant improvements for office, retail, medical, and restaurant tenants;
- Healthcare and outpatient buildouts with the specialized MEP and infection-control requirements medical work demands;
- Renovations and repositioning of existing commercial and office space;
- Fast-track delivery for competitive retail openings where time to revenue is critical.
Whether the work is a full ground-up build or a fast-track interior fit-out in an occupied building, we manage it as a single point of accountability from preconstruction through closeout.
The Cherry Hill Mall & the Retail Corridors
Cherry Hill is, above all, a retail market. The Cherry Hill Mall—the first enclosed shopping mall east of the Mississippi—anchors a dense run of retail along Route 70 and Route 38 that draws shoppers from across South Jersey. Building here is a specialty of its own: high finish levels, schedules tied to opening dates, work in occupied and operating centers, and tight coordination with mall management and landlords. The corridors also carry restaurants, hotels, and big-box centers, each with its own buildout demands. Our experience with retail, restaurant, and occupied-site construction makes the Cherry Hill corridors a natural fit.
Office, Healthcare & Garden State Park
Beyond retail, Cherry Hill carries a steady base of office, healthcare, and mixed-use construction. The township’s suburban office parks and professional buildings support corporate and medical-office demand, Jefferson Health anchors a significant healthcare presence, and the former Garden State Park racetrack has been redeveloped into a mixed-use district of housing, retail, and commercial space. Building across these segments means corporate and medical fit-outs, ground-up and mixed-use work, and renovations on busy suburban sites. Our experience across office, healthcare, and mixed-use construction complements the retail activity that defines the township.
Local Regulations, Permitting & Logistics in Cherry Hill
Successful delivery in Cherry Hill depends on understanding the layers of review every commercial project passes through:
- The New Jersey Uniform Construction Code (UCC), enforced by the township’s construction official across the building, electrical, plumbing, and fire subcodes, with a Certificate of Occupancy issued only after final inspections;
- Cherry Hill’s Planning and Zoning Boards and any redevelopment-area processes, including the Garden State Park area;
- County and NJDOT review for traffic and access on the busy Route 70, Route 38, and I-295 corridors;
- NJDEP review for stormwater, flood hazard areas, and any site remediation;
- Healthcare and institutional standards that run alongside municipal approvals on medical projects.
Just as important are the logistics of building in a busy retail township: deliveries and staging on active commercial sites, coordination with mall and center management in occupied properties, utility lead times with PSE&G and Atlantic City Electric, and traffic planning around Route 70, Route 38, and I-295. We build these realities into the schedule during preconstruction rather than discovering them in the field.

Does Plescia build retail projects at the Cherry Hill Mall and along the corridors?
Yes. Cherry Hill is one of South Jersey’s premier retail markets, anchored by the Cherry Hill Mall and the dense Route 70 and Route 38 corridors. We deliver mall, big-box, and storefront retail buildouts, managing the finish levels, opening-date schedules, occupied-center coordination, and corridor logistics this work requires.

We deliver across retail, restaurant, corporate office, healthcare and medical, hospitality, mixed-use, and institutional commercial work. Project types range from ground-up and retail construction and healthcare buildouts to office fit-outs, renovations, and fast-track tenant improvements.
Does Plescia build office and healthcare projects in Cherry Hill?
Yes. Beyond retail, Cherry Hill carries a steady base of suburban office and healthcare construction, including the Jefferson Health presence and the township’s office parks. We deliver corporate and medical-office fit-outs, ground-up work, and renovations, managing the technical standards and busy-site logistics each requires.
What should owners know about permitting and regulations in Cherry Hill?
Commercial projects follow the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code and are permitted and inspected by the township’s construction official, with Planning Board, Zoning Board, and—in areas like Garden State Park—redevelopment review. Busy corridors often require county and NJDOT traffic and access review, and projects involve NJDEP stormwater and site review. Engaging the right officials early and submitting complete, coordinated documents is the most effective way to keep approvals on schedule.
