About this project
The developer plans to demolish the former Quest office building and its parking lots at 1201 S. Collegeville Road and build 120 stacked townhomes alongside about 148,000 square feet of retail on roughly 29.5 acres. The site would be split into a commercial lot and a residential lot, served by public water and sewer. The county planning commission generally supports the plan but asks for safer walkways, longer parking spaces, and more room for plantings.
County planning commission: Supports, with comments
Issues raised: No safe pedestrian connections between visitor parking, playground and townhomes, Parking spaces in front of several townhomes too short for SUVs, Insufficient space between street and units 115/116 and 117/118 for proposed mature plantings
