The Lower Merion Planning Commission agreed Monday night to allow substituting medical offices for apartments at City and Lancaster avenues.
The developer of the former Palmer Theological Seminary in Wynnewood wants to renovate the complex differently than it had planned, and it got preliminary approval from Lower Merion's Planning Commission Monday night. Instead of 132 apartments, CI6E Lancaster Avenue Associates wants to put in 112 apartments and install medical offices in the chapel out front. No members of the public objected, and the commission voted unanimously in favor of the amendment. The proposal heads to a conditional use hearing at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Dec. 10. For more information, consult the township website: lowermerion.org View renderings of the proposed apartments in the developer's interview with Patch.

The theological seminary, whose Wynnewood property will be turned into apartments, will relocate to King of Prussia in August so developers can begin work as soon as possible.
Wynnewood's Palmer Theological Seminary, which has resided at the corner of Lancaster Ave. and City Ave. since 1940, will move to King of Prussia in August despite earlier plans to move out in December 2012, said Randy Frame, executive director of marketing and communications at Eastern University. The property's contract buyer, Cross Properties, will turn the seminary building and chapel into 132 apartments if final plans are approved by the Lower Merion Board of Commissioners. Palmer Theological Seminary Dean Chris Hall told Patch in early May that the seminary was planning to remain at its Wynnewood campus until December.

Cross Properties' plan calls for 132 apartments to be constructed in Palmer Seminary's main building and chapel.
Developers are now one step closer to converting Palmer Seminary’s building and chapel, located at the intersection of Lancaster and City Avenue in Wynnewood, into an apartment complex.

Of the property's 132 units, 100 will be one-bedroom apartments, said Kenneth Aaron of Weir & Partners, representing the applicant.

The seminary will move from Wynnewood to King of Prussia, likely following spring semester.
It has called Wynnewood home since 1940, but within the next few months, Palmer Theological Seminary will be saying goodbye to its campus on the corner of Lancaster and City Avenue. The time table is unconfirmed, but sometime following the end of spring semester, the Eastern University-affiliated school will move to King of Prussia, where it will hold classes at the American Baptist Churches Mission Center and await the move to its permanent home: a $10 million building to be constructed on Eastern University's campus.
