"Our primary goal is to upgrade the overall environment of Linden Square and position our retailers for long-term success," said Mark Hebert, Vice President, Development Northeast for Federal Realty. The plan includes upgrades to outdoor seating, landscape, signage and architectural façades. Working with HFA Architects, Linden Square will evolve for the current needs of the community, as well as retain its community charm as a gathering point with the addition of several new outdoor amenities added. The improvements will also incorporate post-COVID considerations to ensure shoppers feel safe while accessing the Center's resources.
