The new location for Lea's Floral Shop is designed by David Stumpf Architecture, and is located just one block from the original store’s location along 5th Avenue in East McKeesport Pennsylvania's historic downtown shopping district. The original building was completely lost due to a tragic fire in 2021. Instead of moving the owners decided they would rebuild on another lot they owned just a block away. The new shop has been designed to accommodate the almost 60 year old business, and it's continued growth. At almost 7,500 square feet we maximized the usable square footage on the lot so that this new building could facilitate their continued growth. Not only is the owner doubling down on retail development in East McKeesport, but this building also addresses the historic commercial shopping district by directing the main entry toward the street rather than turning its back from it. With a large welcoming staircase that draws visitors up and into the show room we help to maintain the fabric of the community and the communities walkability. An accessible entrance is located along the side of the building just off of the parking lot so as to have a welcoming entrance for all visitors. This building not only houses a storefront and showroom, but also the production of their floral arrangements, cold storage, and offices for the business. Designed in a more modern aesthetic than most other buildings in the area, the intent behind the architecture of Lea’s Floral Shop is to help usher not only the business but the borough as well, into this new era.
