So...the big question is WHEN???

Believe it when I see it

red brick is probably more expensive, but would look nicer and fit into the area better (as many homes over 100 years old in Malvern are red brick). This place is huge. It's exciting - I just hope it's not empty.

So ? will they start to work on this soon ? what are the planned completion dates ?

Has there been a commitment to lease or occupy in some way any of these conceptual buildings? I saw O'Neil's wish list of tenants, are any actually committed to occupy. Or are zoning changes being made in order to sell off the property?

wow, talk about a lack of color! Cream will be grimy quickly near 202....Limestone? never happen, probably the wall materials are drivit or glazed CMU...huge savings over brick. let's hope there is a little green space someplace on the overall plan. everyone seems excited over this....perhaps for the shopping but not the beauty....we may have a case of buyers' remorse when the shopping/dining charm wears off.

interesting to observe the comments: 2 had questions; 4 were negative. Here's to hoping that Mr O'Neill is successful despite the nay-sayers

I think it's up to O'Neil's ability to borrow money and commitments to leasing space would help that.

While I am fully supportive of this project I find the new plan to look very uninviting as it appears to be very stark and cold. Nice they will be putting in trees, but the new look does nothing to add to or complement the surrounding community.

FWIW, I'm more interested right now in what is planned for the traffic patterns. The current rotary is okay as temporary but the exit out of the Wegman's parking lot is a nightmare. Same with trying to leave the Ruby Tuesday or Wawa parking lot onto Matthews road. As for the building exteriors, hopefully that will change from this monochromatic appearance. Mixed media facades would be much more appealing than the sterile look in this picture. I'm all for the trees but don't make the mistake of planting them, too close together or in the middle of median strips where they block line of sight in a few years.

I hope the township negotiated green space in the deal. Building it or asking for it after the fact won't happen. We just improved a community park in Malvern, Greentree Park, with brand new playground equipment - half paid for by the township and the other half, one dollar at a time, from the residents and local businesses. Willistown doesn't have large corporations or land development like this to seek sponsorship, but East Whiteland certainly does and hopefully is going to require a certain amount of green space for a park, playground etc along with this project. It would be a nice compliment to the Chester Valley Trail.

East Whiteland does not have a ladder truck at its fire department to reach the taller buildings. Is the Paoli fire department responsible to respond to fire calls at the site? I'm guessing that the apartments are the same type of wooden structures that were built and burnt in Conshocken. Is there new equipment or a fire substation proposed for the site? If not I would guess any upgrades to provide proper life safety considerations would be up to the township at a cost to either the fire department or the taxpayers.

Geoeray, It appears there were two Paula K's on this thread. I deleted the second one's comment because it was just an insult. (And your reply went with it... collateral damage.) If the second Paula K wishes to register a more substantive comment, we certainly welcome it. Thanks, everyone, for participating in the discussion.
