BMW Automotive Dealership Expansion
500-512 Pennsylvania Ave., Whitemarsh, PA · 72,995 sq ft non-residential, retail · 5.45 acres
About this project
A BMW dealership expansion is proposed at 500-512 Pennsylvania Avenue in Whitemarsh Township, combining four parcels into one lot of about 5.45 acres. It would add roughly 73,000 square feet of new commercial space, and the filing says an existing second-floor office of about 5,900 square feet would remain. Sixteen existing trees are slated for removal, which the township's tree rules require to be replaced.
