The NIZ development authority board of directors on Wednesday approved Somera Road Inc.’s $21 million funding plan for renovations of the Grand Plaza (formerly PPL Plaza) office building in the 800 block of Hamilton Street.
Where there are workers, there are food places galore. Allentown is seeing a resurgence of daytime workers in the downtown, and now it will get its second food hall.

Somera Road Inc., a New York-based commercial real estate firm, said Thursday the plaza in the center of Allentown’s Hamilton Square will now be named Grand Plaza.
While the firm is open to leasing all the office space to a single tenant, Ross said it’s leaning toward multiple tenants, with most taking one floor and a marquee player taking the top two floors, which features an outdoor garden.
PPL Plaza — due for a rebranding soon — has features that speak for themselves, namely an LEED Gold certification, a rooftop garden space, and architecture that leads Ross to say, “They just don’t build buildings this way anymore.”
