Urban Outfitters Inc. (Philadelphia) has leased a 6.5-acre site in Philadelphia’s Main Line with plans to develop an entire lifestyle village.
According to MainLineMediaNews.com, the retailer plans a Terrain garden center, an Anthropologie, a boutique hotel, two restaurants and complementary shops and amenities on the property formerly known as Waterloo Gardens.
Local developers Eli Kahn and Wade McDevitt and Urban Outfitters executives unveiled a detailed preliminary sketch plan for the site to the Easttown Township Planning Commission earlier this week.
“We’re expanding our bricks-and-mortar retail experience to a lifestyle experience that will meet the taste level of the Devon community,” explained Dave Ziel, chief development officer for Urban Outfitters.
The project’s working title is Devon Yard.
