The Promenade East
2101 Welsh Road, Upper Dublin, PA · 766 homes, 485,870 sq ft non-residential, mixed use · 115.0 acres
About this project
BET Investments wants to turn the former Prudential office property at 2101 Welsh Road into a mixed-use development with apartments, stacked townhomes, retail, offices, a hotel, senior assisted living, and a township police substation. The existing parking garage and a 230,000-square-foot office building stay, and a vacant office complex in the southern part of the site is being torn down. The roughly 115-acre site would also get public open space, a park, and trail links, and could later connect to a future Pennsylvania Turnpike interchange.
County planning commission: Supports, with comments
Issues raised: Future Turnpike access easement area may be too small; coordinate with Turnpike Authority, Stormwater basins in the interchange area must work with future highway construction, Publicly owned road needed between Welsh Road and the Turnpike, Plan does not identify which internal streets will be public, Coordinate turnpike access with PA Turnpike Commission, PennDOT, and township
