A developer plans to build an 86-unit apartment complex at 165 Township Line Road in Wyncote, about 1,000 feet from SEPTA's Jenkintown-Wyncote Regional Rail station. The project — on roughly an acre sold to 165 Town Line Holdings LLC in 2025 — would convert an existing structure into 36 apartments and add a new 50-unit building with ground-floor retail and a 79-car garage, while an existing office building on the site remains. The Montgomery County Planning Commission has reviewed the proposal favorably but is pushing for better pedestrian and cyclist access to the station and surrounding area, and flagged potential stormwater and erosion issues on the sloped site. SEPTA supports the transit-oriented development as part of its broader push for denser housing along Regional Rail lines. The project is expected to generate about $500,000 annually for the township and school district, and still needs approval from Cheltenham's board of commissioners.
