About this project
Wilmington Capital Limited LLC plans to build nine townhomes on a 0.76-acre lot at 380 East Hancock Street in Lansdale. The existing two-and-a-half-story building, which holds a rooming house and apartments, would be demolished to make way for the project. The county generally supports the preliminary plan but asked for changes to tree placement, utility lines, and parking.
County planning commission: Supports, with comments
Issues raised: water lines under grass; relocate under driveway to free space for shade trees, street trees should be set back to allow a wider sidewalk along Hancock Street, left turns into and out of the access road may be difficult, no parking table or space count on the plan, provides about 3⅓ parking spaces per unit versus the 2 per unit required

The county records describe a plan by Wilmington Capital Limited LLC to build nine townhomes on a 0.76-acre lot at 380 East Hancock Street in Lansdale. The lot holds a two-and-a-half-story building with a rooming house and apartments. That building would be demolished.
The county generally supported the preliminary plan. It asked for changes to tree placement, utility lines and parking.
No news coverage, meeting minutes or developer page were found for the approval process. Public real estate listings do show new townhouse units for sale at 380 E Hancock St, described as built in 2025 and priced around $560,000. Those listings suggest the homes may already be built and on the market. They do not name the developer, so the link to this filing is likely but not confirmed.
What it could mean nearby
- Nine new townhomes would replace an older rooming house and apartment building, changing who lives on the lot.
- The county asked for parking changes, so on-site parking and street parking were a review concern.
- The county asked for utility line changes, so connections to water, sewer or other services were reviewed.
- The county asked for tree placement changes, so landscaping and screening were part of the review.
Where it stands
The latest county filing, dated August 2024, was a preliminary plan review in which the county generally supported the project with requested changes. Listings suggest construction has since finished, but no approval records were found to confirm this. Normally a project next needs final plan approval from the borough, then permits and construction.
- Jul 2025 Listings show the first townhouse unit at 380 E Hancock St put on the market
- Aug 14, 2024 Latest county planning filing; the county generally supported the preliminary plan with requested changes
