BT Blair, LLC, working with BET Investments, wants to build 272 apartments at 2300 Computer Avenue in Upper Moreland Township. The site covers about 12 acres. The plan has a four-story central building surrounded by eight smaller 10-unit buildings. It also includes a clubhouse, a pool, a large stormwater basin and about 4,000 square feet of non-residential space.
The site now holds an office complex and a wooded area along Blair Mill Road. Both would be torn down.
A search of the township's public minutes found an earlier, informal sketch plan for this site. It was presented in September 2022 under the name Executive Mews, and it proposed turning the office site into a residential community. No news coverage, approval or organized opposition was found.
What it could mean nearby
- Removing the woods along Blair Mill Road would reduce open space and tree cover.
- 272 new apartments would add residents, traffic and demand for water, sewer and school capacity. The records do not give any studies of these effects.
- A large stormwater basin is planned to manage runoff from the new buildings and paved areas.
- Demolishing the office complex would remove existing office space.
Where it stands
The latest county filing is dated March 2024, which points to a land development plan under township review. No approval was found online. Next steps usually include township planning review, public meetings and a vote by the township's elected board.
