The proposal is to build 18 age-qualified twin homes (two homes sharing a wall) on about 7 acres along Russell Road in Tredyffrin Township. The site combines four addresses: 1580, 1600, 1690 and 1692 Russell Road. A separate lot consolidation plan would merge the parcels.
Township records from 2025 show that a company called Russell Road Developers, LLC asked the township to change its zoning. The change would allow age-qualified single-family and twin homes in the C-1 commercial district. The developer described the plan as 100% age-targeted carriage homes. Age-qualified housing is meant for older adults, usually 55 and over.
The township's records for this property also mention earlier proposals, including an assisted living facility. The search found no news coverage of the project. It also found no final approval for the 18-home plan.

- Traffic: nearby residents raised traffic concerns on Russell Road, according to a search summary of township records. The text of those records could not be opened to confirm this.
- Housing: 18 new homes aimed at older adults, which usually bring fewer school-age children than family housing.
- Land use: the site would shift from its current mix of uses to a residential community on about 7 acres.
- Enforcement: some residents asked how the age limits would be enforced.
Where it stands
The county's latest filing is dated 2025-11-17, which suggests the land development plan is under township and county review. The search did not confirm whether the zoning change was finally adopted. Typically the planning commission reviews the plan and makes a recommendation. Then the township supervisors vote on preliminary and final approval.
