410 South High Street III Townhomes

The full picture AI research · Nov 1, 2026

The project, called 410 South High Street III, proposes 42 townhouses on about 1.3 acres in West Chester Borough. Local coverage places 410 S. High Street at the former Burger King site. That coverage was not detailed enough to confirm that the 42-unit plan is the one it describes, so the match is likely but not certain.

The site has a long history. A 2023 plan for 128 apartments won a 4-3 Planning Commission vote. A 2024 revision raised that to 139 apartments. A local newsletter reported that neighbors sued over the first plan. A July 2026 newsletter described new plans and later renderings for a townhome version. The county's latest filing for this project is dated April 8, 2026.

No article found gives the developer, the approval status of the townhome plan, or hearing dates.

What it could mean nearby

• The earlier apartment plans drew resident concerns about traffic and parking, so access, parking and street impacts are likely to be discussed for the townhome plan too.
• 42 townhouses would add new housing near the downtown, replacing a former fast-food site. That is a smaller scale than the earlier 128-139 apartment plans.

Where it stands

The county has a filing on record from April 2026, and local news reported new townhome plans in July 2026. Approval status could not be confirmed. Borough plans usually go to the Planning Commission for review, then to Borough Council for a decision.
