Jaindl Properties: A Unique Vision within a Family Legacy

For more than five generations, the Jaindl family has had a storied history in land development and agriculture. Jaindl Properties, founded by Mark Jaindl and his son Zachary Jaindl in 2011, diverges from the initial operation with a focused mission:

  • Adaptive Reuse: Revitalizing historic and underutilized urban buildings.
  • Sustainable Development: Prioritizing environmentally responsible projects.
  • Community Impact: Creating developments that benefit local communities socially and economically.

Unlike broader, rural-focused development, Jaindl Properties targets urban revitalization and responsible luxury.

The Leadership Driving Innovation: Mark and Zachary Jaindl

Mark Jaindl and his son Zachary strongly commit to transforming Allentown through innovative, sustainable development. Leveraging over five generations of real estate expertise, they have strategically positioned Jaindl Properties as a leader in adaptive reuse and urban redevelopment.

  • Mark Jaindl, President/CEO: With deep roots in local development, Mark emphasizes preserving historic architecture and using adaptive reuse as a strategic growth tool.
  • Zachary Jaindl, COO: Zac actively aligns projects with community needs, promotes sustainability, and integrates modern amenities into historic spaces.

How Jaindl Properties Advances Sustainable Development in Allentown

Jaindl Properties’ vision aligns closely with sustainable urban development, demonstrated by successful adaptive reuse projects:

  • Vault 634: A luxury event space transformed from the historic Lehigh Valley Trust Building, combining modern amenities with preserved architectural heritage.
  • The Waterfront: Turning a former industrial brownfield into a thriving mixed-use community, showcasing sustainable development through public parks, trails, and residential and commercial spaces.
  • Shimer House: The restoration and conversion of a Victorian mansion into corporate headquarters, emphasizing responsible luxury and community revitalization outside downtown Allentown.

These projects reflect Jaindl Properties’ dedication to sustainable urban growth and improving community quality of life.

Sustainable Development and Smart Growth

Jaindl Properties’ commitment aligns closely with innovative growth principles, including:

  • Walkable Communities: Prioritizing pedestrian-friendly spaces.
  • Mixed-Use Development: Integrating residential, office, retail, and recreation to promote vibrant community engagement.
  • Responsible Luxury: Demonstrating that sustainable and upscale developments can coexist, enhancing the quality of life while preserving environmental integrity.

Why Sustainable Development Matters for Allentown

Jaindl Properties believes sustainable development is the cornerstone for Allentown’s continued economic and social vitality. Sustainable practices reduce environmental impacts and foster economic resilience by:

  • Attracting long-term investments.
  • Preserving cultural heritage.
  • Supporting economic diversity.
  • Reducing infrastructure costs through compact, strategic development.

Looking Ahead: Extending the Impact Beyond the NIZ

While Allentown’s Neighborhood Improvement Zone (NIZ) has driven remarkable downtown growth, Jaindl Properties emphasizes extending these revitalization efforts beyond incentivized zones. By adopting properties such as Shimer House in West Park, Jaindl Properties actively contributes to broader citywide improvements, reinforcing their commitment to comprehensive urban development.
