Introducing Moore Park KOP
A visionary neighborhood at the center of $1B in economic development
There's a new energy in King of Prussia's business park, and now there's a new name and identity that reflects this evolving, live/work/play neighborhood: Moore Park KOP.
The transformation of King of Prussia's business park to Moore Park KOP began in September 2014 when Upper Merion Township, with assistance from King of Prussia District (KOP-BID), officially re-zoned the area as a mixed-use district. The new zoning allows for multi-family residential development and service retail.
Then in 2016,
KOP-BID assembled a committee consisting of the business park's current commercial and industrial property owners, tenants, employees and civic leaders to develop an identity reflective of the evolving neighborhood. While the name is rooted in history - the Moore-Irwin House in the center of the business park served as quarters for General Muhlenberg during the 1777-78 encampment - today Moore Park KOP is vibrant, progressive and poised for growth.
With this new identity comes a number of exciting projects in the works. Transportation initiatives, like the upcoming First Avenue Road Diet, physical improvements, like the Linear Park, and economic development will all help to elevate this already thriving community into an even more dynamic neighborhood.
Stay up-to-date on project progress and future initiatives and see the full vision of Moore Park KOP's future on our website. You can also stay in-the-know by signing up for the Moore Park KOP eNews.

SEPTA's KOP Rail Would Raise Property Value
New study shows rail creates significant positive impact on the prices of suburban homes
SEPTA can make a big impact on property values for a community. In a study released last month, Econsult Solutions Inc. looked at property sales and new development from 2010-2016 in the 5 counties it serves in southeastern Pennsylvania, which includes Philadelphia, Montgomery, Delaware, Chester and Bucks. The study shows that residential property values and commercial development prospects are dramatically improved within proximity to rail stations.
The study highlights the significant impact on Montgomery County by SEPTA's investment in capital projects and operations. Not only does it provide the region with an important public transportation network, the direct, indirect and induced economic impact from running the trains, improving the facilities and creating the infrastructure between FY2015-FY2017 contributed over $403 million into the Montgomery County economy. In addition to the monetary investment, over 3,000 of SEPTA's 9,400 employees reside in Montgomery County.
SEPTA's infrastructure and services also raise the values for residential properties within 3 miles of a SEPTA regional rail or Norristown High Speed Line station. Proximity to SEPTA stations increased the aggregate value of the properties within that 3-mile buffer in Montgomery County by 8% compared to the sales of properties in the same area prior to 2013.
The positive impact doesn't stop with increased property values. King of Prussia Rail will stimulate 310,000 SF of new commercial development and add 1,200 employees to the area each year.
