The redevelopment of the 75-acre Exton Square mall property could begin by late spring 2026. The first phase of the project, which will start before demolition begins on the mall, will be construction of a 50,400-square-foot freestanding Main Line Health building, according to Abrams Realty & Development owner Peter Abrams, allowing an existing Main Line Health clinic to move into the new site with minimal disruption. Demolition of the mall likely won’t begin until late summer 2027. The redevelopment, named Exton Town Centre, received a recommendation of approval from the West Whiteland Township Planning Commission in August. The project now heads to the board of supervisors, which Abrams said could approve the master plan before Thanksgiving. The master plan calls for demolishing most of the 990,000-square-foot mall except for the existing 178,000-square-foot Boscov’s department store. Abrams has proposed 167,180 square feet of retail and commercial space, a 121,374-square-foot fitness and entertainment building, 48,743 square feet of office space, and a 6,440-square-foot day care.
