Land Development & Subdivision

Projects Under Review:

• Ambler Yards Apartment Building- 300 Brookside Residential LP proposes a residential land development of a tract of land located at the western corner of the intersection of N. Spring Garden Street and West Francis Avenue directly adjacent to the Ambler Yards mixed-use campus. The development includes the construction of a new 3-story apartment building, paved parking lot, and associated stormwater management facilities. The plans are currently under review along with the associated conditional use application and will be discussed at the required public meetings this Fall. This application is a result of the rezoning that took place late last year. 
• Spring House Corporate Center Redevelopment-321Norristown Road:   BET 309, LLC is seeking to redevelop this property. The property currently contains two office buildings and a barn. The original plan called for demolishing one of the office buildings, retaining Berkadia in the other, and constructing a four-story, multi-family apartment building with an interior parking garage, along with three commercial retail buildings totaling 47,000 square feet. The plan has since been revised. Under the new proposal, the existing vacant office building would be demolished and replaced with a new office building. Berkadia would then move into the new building, allowing the existing Berkadia office building to be demolished. A four-story, multi-family apartment building would then be constructed in its place. The revised plan also includes additional surface parking and an emergency access connection between Spring House Corporate Center and the neighboring Gwynedd Estates. To allow the mixed-use development, the applicant requested that the parcel be rezoned. The rezoning was approved over the summer. The applicant is now moving forward with the conditional use process, to be followed by land development, for their proposed redevelopment. The plan will be on Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors public meeting agendas in the fall.  The Board of Supervisors held a public hearing on June 23rd to consider the proposed text and map amendment. Due to the revisions to the original ordinance the applicant is in the process of revising the conditional use plan that was originally submitted to accommodate the larger side yard setback and the reduction of units. During the hearing, the applicant's representative explained that the agreement to purchase the property is set to expire and may not be extended. The representative asked the BOS to take this circumstance into account. The BOS approved the text amendment, which creates a mixed-use development option within the MF-3 Zoning District. However, the BOS did not make a decision on the related map amendment. The applicant submitted the requested information including a revised conditional use plan. The BOS approved the map amendment at their regular meeting on July 28th, 2026. The conditional use plan is currently under review.  
• Whitefield Subdivision- 1348 Sumneytown Pike: Whitefield Homes LLC propose an 8-lot subdivision and residential development located at 1348 Sumneytown Pike. The plan proposes eight new single-family residential building lots. Six of the new lots will be accessed by a cul-de-sac road off Sumneytown Pike and two lots will have frontage and driveways on Evans Road. The plan proposes public water and sewer. The plans are currently under review. This application has not been scheduled on public meeting agenda.  
• Gwynedd Point Village Conditional Use Application- N. Bethlehem Pike & Cedar Hill Road (Spring House Nursery Triangle): The developer, Pete Penna, proposes to combine six separate parcels into one larger property totaling approximately 8.7 acres. He plans to build 48 townhouses there, along with other improvements including a realignment of the Cedar Hill Road-Bethlehem Pike intersection, parking areas, open space, curbing, sidewalks, and landscaping. Right now, the land is zoned for single-family homes. Mr. Penna has applied to change the zoning by expanding the Lower Pike Overlay District to include these parcels and others along North Bethlehem Pike from the Spring House Intersection to the Route 309 Bypass. To better understand Mr. Penna’s plans, the Township asked him to submit a conditional use application depicting the proposed development and expected traffic impact. If the zoning change is approved, townhouses would be allowed on this property, but only if the Township BOS grants conditional use approval.  The public hearing for the rezone was held in December of 2025. The PC recommended the conditional use application for approval by the BOS with the conditions discussed. The BOS approved the rezone application at their meeting on March 24th, 2026. They also held a conditional use hearing and authorized the Township Solicitor to prepare a decision and order granting approval with conditions. The decision and order were approved by the BOS at their meeting on April 28th, 2026.  The next step will be land development. 

• Foulkeways at Gwynedd- 1120 Meetinghouse Road:  Foulkeways is proposing an expansion to the existing fitness center building on their campus. They plan to add a covered concrete walkway and a new entry lobby. In addition, a portion of the existing asphalt trail would be replaced and reoriented to connect with the existing trail. This plan was recommended for conditional approval to the BOS by the PC on February 18th, 2026. The project was presented to the BOS, and they authorized the Township Solicitor to prepare a resolution of approval. This item has not yet been scheduled on a BOS agenda.
