Cheltenham Township has received an application on behalf of Foxlane Homes LLC for the development of 43 townhomes at 1777 Willow Grove Avenue in the Glenside section of the township.

According to Henry Sekawungu, Cheltenham Township’s Director of Zoning and Planning, the proposal will come before the planning commission on December 16, the Building and Zoning committee on January 6, and will appear on the Zoning Hearing Board agenda for January 13, 2025.

The Fort Washington-based developer is proposing two off-street parking spaces per unit, a private open space area, and a private stormwater management facility, according to the township’s website.

The property is currently a 42-acre vacant lot and was previously approved by a court settlement “that allowed developer Hansen-Lloyd to pursue a 62+ age-restricted multifamily apartment complex with 216 apartment units in eight, four-story buildings, and 388 parking spaces,” the website says.

“That was approved as part of the settlement. The initial plan was submitted by the previous owner,” Sekawungu told Glenside Local. “They went back and forth with the township, and ultimately none of the iterations proposed went anywhere, so they proceeded with Zoning, and the decision was appealed. They ended up going before the Supreme Court.”

The proposal’s site plan and application can be found below:
