A site plan has been filed for 117 townhouse-style apartments on about 29 acres at 2500 Wrangle Hill Road in Bear, in unincorporated New Castle County. The homes would be built under the site's existing planned development zoning, so the plan does not ask for a rezoning.
The site is known as the Fox Run Business Center. An online commercial listing for the same address describes it as a business park with build-to-suit land, so the land has been marketed for commercial use. The filing is under the names Fox Run Associates and an individual associated with it.
No news coverage, public opposition, hearing results or approvals were found online. The explanation here rests mainly on the county records. The latest county filing is dated May 1, 2025.

- About 117 new rental-style homes would be added in the Bear area, replacing land planned for business use.
