The Upper Dublin Planning Commission took a first look at a proposal to build a residential, retail and commercial development at 2101 Welsh Road — often referred to as the “Prudential tract.” The proposal by BET Investments called Promenade East would include 600 apartments, 160 stacked townhouses, 100,000 square feet of medical or corporate office space, a 150-unit senior and assisted living facility, a possible hotel, and an Upper Dublin police substation that was requested by the township. BET developed the adjacent Promenade at Upper Dublin with 400 apartments, retail and restaurants. The Promenade is connected to the Enclave, a development of 114 single-family, 55-plus homes. Enclave HOA president Steve Pollack told commissioners residents felt they were being “left out” of the conversation and expressed concerns about increased traffic. Robert W. Gundlach Jr., the attorney representing BET, stressed they were before the planning commission to “start the process” and have plans to set up meetings with residents.
