About this project
Foxlane Homes is proposing 43 townhomes on a vacant, roughly 10-acre lot at 1777 Willow Grove Avenue in Cheltenham Township, a project the zoning board approved with variances in January 2025. The plan also adds one detached home on a small adjacent parcel in Springfield Township, where several old estate buildings would be demolished. The county generally supports the plan but wants issues resolved, including a planned trail route and the driveway layout.
