NAI Burns Scalo Working with The Colony Company for District Point Annex Project

December 3, 2024 | NAI Burns Scalo

NAI Burns Scalo is proud to announce its collaboration with The Colony Company on the highly anticipated Annex office and retail project at the newly rebranded District Point, formerly Huntingdon Marketplace in North Huntingdon Pennsylvania. This new four-story, 30,000-square-foot development is being built as an extension of the existing Urban Air Indoor adventure park (largest in the tri-state), seamlessly expanding the offerings of this vibrant retail hub.

The Annex will feature first-floor retail space, already slated to house a new Primanti Bros. restaurant, and three upper floors dedicated to office space. Situated in a thriving retail complex, the project neighbors popular destinations such as Walmart, Moe’s Southwest Grill, Crumbl Cookies, Tropical Smoothie Cafe, and The Goddard School, further enhancing its appeal to both businesses and the local community alike.

Don Tarosky Jr., the project’s owner and President & COO of The Colony Company, shared his perspective on the development:

“The decision to rebrand this long-anticipated project as District Point was strategically timed to align with The Colony Company’s 70th anniversary. This milestone, combined with our significant commitment to North Huntingdon and Westmoreland County, makes the timing ideal. This rebrand is not just about the project itself , but about redefining who we are as a company. Our collaboration with NAI Burns Scalo on this project has further energized this vision, not only on the annex but beyond.  It is my personal pleasure not only to partner with this highly knowledgeable and talented team, but also to deliver these long-awaited amenities to a community that both needs and deserves them.”

The District Point Annex represents NAI Burns Scalo’s first project with The Colony Company, a growing development firm undergoing a dynamic leadership transition. Stephen Whittingham, Vice President of Development and Construction Services at NAI Burns Scalo, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership:

“NAI Burns Scalo is excited to team up with Colony on this project! There are many parallels between our companies, and it has been exciting for our General Contracting division to share our expertise and lessons learned over the years while developing similar products ourselves. Our goal is to help them streamline their development process.”

The collaboration also marks NAI Burns Scalo’s first opportunity to work with Design 3 Architecture. Whittingham added, “We have been very impressed with Design 3 Architecture’s work product and leadership during the design phase. We’re confident this partnership will lead to a successful project that exceeds expectations.”

With construction underway, District Point is poised to become a landmark addition to the retail and office landscape, offering a dynamic blend of innovation, convenience, and community engagement. The first-floor retail spaces (including Primanti Bros.) are expected to open by the end of 2025.
