New Jersey Levittowners needed to travel only a short distance to get to their hometown shopping hub, which served as the defacto downtown for the development. The first master building at LEVITTOWN PLAZA was completed in November 1959. It encompassed approximately 70,000 leasable square feet and housed fifteen stores and services.
