The plan adds a new 2-story, 48-unit garden apartment building to the existing Jacobs Woods apartment community at 100 Jacobs Hall Lane in Towamencin. It sits on a site of about 37 acres.
The new building would replace the current clubhouse. A new 6,535-square-foot clubhouse with a pool and amenity areas would be built along Middle Lane. The plan also adds 72 parking spaces. Public water and sewer would serve the project.
Online, the only project-specific material found was township planning commission agendas from mid-2025. They list an informal presentation of improvements at Jacobs Woods. An informal presentation is an early look, not a vote. No news coverage, opposition or formal approval was found.
What it could mean nearby
- Adds 48 rental homes to an existing apartment community, so more residents and more car trips on local streets.
- 72 new parking spaces are planned to serve the added building and amenities.
- The new clubhouse and pool are for the complex, so they are likely private amenities rather than public space.
- Public water and sewer already serve the project, so no new private wells or septic systems are planned.
Where it stands
County records show a filing in March 2026, and the township reviewed the concept informally in 2025. No final approval was found online. The usual next steps are township review of a formal land development plan, then planning commission and supervisors' votes.
