CAM Development’s adaptive resuse of the former Dentsply manufacturing site in York, PA has been generating well-deserved attention, recently featured by both WGAL News 8 and the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED).

The former Dentsply property, vacant since 2020, is set to be transformed into a vibrant mixed-use community featuring 81 residential units in its first phase, alongside retail, office, and makerspace. The project also includes a planned extension of the Codorus Greenway trail through the property and serves as a meaningful addition to the community’s recreational experience along the creek.

The project recently received approximately $1,500,000 million through Pennsylvania’s Mixed-Use Housing Development Pilot Program, making it one of only seven recipients selected statewide. DCED Secretary Rick Siger personally toured the site as part of Governor Shapiro’s first-ever Housing Action Plan, which is a statewide initiative to address a projected shortage of 185,000 homes by 2035.

Construction on the first phase is anticipated to begin in Q1 2027. We look forward to that first step and are proud to be part of York’s revitalization story and look forward to sharing updates as the project progresses.
