Are you prepared to welcome 216 hi-rise condominiums (or a massive Continuing Care Retirement Community) to Laverock? Initial development plans submitted to Cheltenham Township call for the demolition of the Laverock Hill mansion, the construction of six 4-story buildings incorporating 216 age-resticted housing units & 388 parking spaces, all on only 9 acres of land.
Welcome to the developer's vision for Laverock Hill.

Another delay!!! NOTE THE NEW DATES BELOW now pushed into September/October schedule.
STAND UP AND BE HEARD! This land development application is now ON THE AGENDA in Cheltenham Township!
We have been informed by one of our Cheltenham Township Commissioners that the developer has once again delayed their formal presentations. As of 10/21/10, a new schedule has not been confirmed, however we have been informed that it "may" get re-scheduled to the January/February calendar.
Please register on the "Contact Us" page to be kept informed via emails from the Steering Committee.
Originally built in 1890, Laverock Hill had been the home of the Starr family for almost 100 years. Isaac T. Starr hired famed architect Charles A. Platt to design the current buildings & legendary landscape architect, Ellen Biddle Shipman designed the garden layout & plantings in 1915, which remain completely intact today.
One of the last vestiges of open space that straddles Cheltenham & Springfield Townships, this beautiful 42+ acre estate may be lost forever.
