A developer proposes four apartment buildings with 314 units on about 21 acres at 994 Commerce Drive, off Upland Square Drive in Upper Pottsgrove. The site is currently made up of two parcels zoned for light industrial use. The plan would merge them into one lot.
The project also includes an amenity complex, meaning shared facilities for residents. It includes a dedication of land for Coolidge Avenue, which would hand that street to the public.
No news coverage, developer project page, or meeting record clearly tied to this site was found online. Details such as opposition, approvals, rent levels, or who will occupy the buildings are not publicly confirmed. This explanation relies on the county filing alone.
What it could mean nearby
- The 314 apartments would add a large number of households near the Upland Square shopping area, which could increase local traffic.
- Dedicating Coolidge Avenue as a public street would change how the site connects to the surrounding road network.
- Rezoning is not mentioned, but the site is in a light-industrial zone, so apartments here would replace a possible job-producing industrial use.
- Effects on schools and utilities are not documented in the available records.
Where it stands
The latest county filing is dated January 30, 2026, which suggests the plan is under municipal and county review. Typically, the township planning commission and board of supervisors review a land development plan, and approval is followed by permits and construction.
