The developer had purchased the property hoping for a zoning change that would allow for upscale condos on the site. But the township denied the zoning change at the site, zoned for rural conservation, according to Savvy Main Line.
Tredyffrin's Board of Supervisors voted last year for the township to seize the property through eminent domain.
