5 Things to Know from Our 2026 Report to the Community

King of Prussia District has launched our 2026 Report to the Community, an interactive website highlighting King of Prussia’s 2025 development activity, commercial market performance and our ongoing impact. You can see insights from our team from our March 26 webinar here.

Since our founding in 2010, we’ve focused on driving economic growth and making King of Prussia more vibrant, attractive and prosperous. This year’s report takes a closer look at the area’s commercial real estate, hospitality, retail, healthcare and life sciences sectors, along with continued workforce expansion and residential growth. It also reflects on our work to strengthen the business climate, improve infrastructure and enhance overall quality of life.

Here are five key takeaways from the report:

1. Upper Merion Township and King of Prussia continue to outperform regional commercial markets.
   With a Class A vacancy rate of 13% across 3.5M SF of space, our market is outperforming Philadelphia’s downtown and many surrounding suburban areas. Retail vacancy remains exceptionally low at just 2.3% across 6.2M SF, supported by 42 new businesses in 2025 and early 2026.
2. Visitor traffic and economic activity remain strong.
   We saw more than 40M visits in 2025, an increase of 1.6M year over year, reflecting sustained consumer demand. King of Prussia continues to lead surrounding municipalities in monthly visitation, outperforming nearby markets like Radnor, Plymouth Meeting, Tredyffrin and West Whiteland.
3. Major investments and amenities continue to drive growth.
   High-profile additions like Netflix House and Eataly, along with a strong pipeline of retail, entertainment, housing and distribution center projects, are expanding our business ecosystem.
4. Investment in infrastructure supports both business success and quality of life.
   New parks, trails and public landscape projects, including our Recharge Park opening in late spring, are strengthening King of Prussia as a place for both community and commerce. Efforts like our Clean Streets Litter Program help maintain a welcoming environment for businesses and visitors.
5. We are expanding opportunity for businesses and stakeholders.
   Through initiatives like our “Your Business Belongs Here” campaign, expanded research and data reporting and record-setting community engagement and charitable giving, we are working to attract companies, support stakeholders and strengthen our local business network.
