Willow Grove Shopping Center to undergo $105M transformation

A $105 million redevelopment project in Upper Moreland Township is set to transform the Willow Grove Shopping Center across from Willow Grove Park Mall into a mixed-use complex with 261 apartments and 35,000 square feet of new retail. Demolition of about 130,000 square feet will begin in the summer with completion expected in 2028, according to developer Federal Realty Investment Trust. The project reflects a broader regional trend of building housing near strong retail hubs — similar to growth seen around King of Prussia — as demand rises among people leaving cities or downsizing, who want walkable, transit-accessible living near destinations served by SEPTA and major routes like the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Existing shopping-center tenants will remain open during construction.
