The full picture AI research · Nov 1, 2026
The developer, Willner Properties Services, wants to replace the Jiffy Lube service building at 150 Allendale Road with a 174-unit apartment building. The site is at the corner of Allendale Road and West DeKalb Pike in Upper Merion Township. It is part of the existing Courtside Square complex, which already has homes and shops.
The apartments would have parking on the lower level, plus a pool and landscaped common areas. The new building would connect to the existing residential and commercial buildings. A one-story commercial building of about 6,090 square feet would also go along West DeKalb Pike. The land covers about 8.8 acres.
No news coverage, hearing notices or township decisions that clearly concern this proposal were found online. The details above come from county planning records alone.
What it could mean nearby
- The 174 new apartments would add housing near the West DeKalb Pike corridor. The county records give no details on rents or who would live there.
- The new corner building and the added residents would likely mean more car trips at Allendale Road and West DeKalb Pike. No traffic study was found.
- The 6,090-square-foot commercial building would add retail or service space along West DeKalb Pike. No tenants have been named.
Where it stands
The latest county filing is dated February 2024, and no approval or denial was found online. Township boards usually review a land development plan in stages, with the planning commission reviewing it first and the supervisors voting afterward.
