The Quaker Park office complex at Hector and Lee Streets in Whitemarsh Township would be redeveloped on about 9 acres. The plan calls for a five-story building with 106 apartments and ground-floor shops. It also calls for 40 new townhomes, which brings the total to 146 homes. The shops would total only about 2,500 square feet.

The laboratory building on the site would be torn down. The existing office building would stay. The county planning body supports building homes near transit. It has raised significant concerns about 12 of the townhomes, which are proposed in a floodplain, an area that can flood. It says this conflicts with county flood-reduction goals.
