A feature piece from our Summer 2025 issue of the Lancaster Thriving Publication
As the Events and Marketing Manager for High Associates Ltd., I am thrilled to share the story of Greenfield —a community that exemplifies the future of integrated living and working spaces. Owned by High Properties and managed by High Associates Ltd., Greenfield is not just a place to live and work, but a thriving community where innovation, sustainability, and community engagement converge. For local business leaders, Greenfield represents a model of how strategic investment in community infrastructure can drive economic growth and enhance quality of life for our tenants, residents, guests and community.
A Visionary Approach to Business Development
Greenfield is the premier address for business in Central Pennsylvania, with more than 250 businesses calling it home. It reflects its founders’ vision of a mixed-use development catering to commercial, residential, hospitality, and community needs. The strategic location of Greenfield, near major highways and transportation hubs, provides businesses with unparalleled connectivity. This logistical advantage is complemented by state-of-the-art facilities that range from small private office suites to expansive manufacturing facilities, accommodating the needs of start-ups and legacy companies alike.
Strategic Investment in Community Events and Programs
To make Greenfield a center for community, it was essential to make a strategic investment in complimentary events and programs that engage tenants, residents, and community members. These events range from food truck festivals and summer concerts to educational workshops and wellness programs. The success of these events has significantly improved employee, business, and resident satisfaction and retention. Employees who participate in community events feel more connected to their workplace and colleagues, leading to higher job satisfaction and morale. Residents benefit from social interactions and lifelong learning opportunities, enhancing their overall living experience.
The strategic investment in community events and programs has profoundly influenced Greenfield’s approach to business development. By fostering a vibrant and engaged community, Greenfield creates an environment where businesses can thrive. The enhanced employee satisfaction and retention rates contribute to a stable and motivated workforce, driving productivity and innovation. Additionally, the strong sense of community and collaboration attracts new businesses and investments, further bolstering economic growth.
What’s Next for Greenfield?
Greenfield continues to evolve with exciting future plans that aim to enhance its role as a premier community for business, living, and innovation. One of the most significant upcoming projects is the development of Greenfield North. Currently under construction, the311-unit apartment and townhouse complex and the recently constructed two warehouse/industrial buildings. Located at Greenfield and Willow roads, Greenfield North is expected to bring hundreds of jobs to the area at full build-out and occupancy of the apartment and townhouse complex. This development will further solidify Greenfield’s position as a leading mixed-use community.
