URGENT UPDATE - NEW DATES BELOW!!!

After nearly 15 months of discussions between the neighbors group, Springfield & Cheltenham Townships, the Developer (Hansen Properties LLC) has dis-regarded all input from your Steering Committee and is MOVING FORWARD with their original application!!!!

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.

If you would like a YARD SIGN to help us increase the awareness in the community about this development, please send us an email at informed@savelaverockhill.com.

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.
