The Peters Cooper Farm, LLC proposes a condominium-style apartment community of 264 homes on about 36 acres off Upper King Road in Camden, Kent County, Delaware. The address is 3182 Upper King Road.
The land appears to be working farmland now. Town Planning Commission records indicate it fronts both Route 13 and Upper King Road. The Planning Commission took up a subdivision request for the property in May 2025. It listed the property again as new business on its November 19, 2025 agenda.
No news coverage, developer website, or opposition was found. The meeting documents could not be read in full, so the outcome of those reviews is unconfirmed.
