CRANBERRY TWP — More planned residential developments are coming to the township as the board of supervisors gave final approval to two plans.

The supervisors approved a six-building apartment complex on Brandt Drive behind the old Auction Barn building. The complex will have 276 apartment units on 13.8 acres.

As part of the plan, the developers will extend Brandt Drive to Thompson Park/Executive Drive, where a mini-roundabout will be built.

The buildings will have ground-level parking with four stories of apartments on top. There will be a community center, outdoor pool, trail system, sidewalks and the township’s first protected bike lane.

The board also gave final approval for Traditions of America to put a retirement community on a 55.1-acre site along the north side of Rochester Road at the Beaver-Butler county line. The two phase development will have 103 homes for adults ages 55 and older.
