2026 Report to the Community

Reflections on 2025 and Accelerating Momentum for the Year Ahead
Eric Goldstein President & CEO
Cheryl Gebeline-Myers Chair, Board of Directors

King of Prussia District is pleased to share our 2026 Report to the Community.

This year’s edition continues to showcase Upper Merion Township/King of Prussia’s (UMT/KOP) impressive ability to thrive and prosper across a number of diverse economic and social data points including:

A Robust Commercial Landscape – UMT/KOP closed out 2025 with a low commercial office vacancy rate of 13% in our Class A inventory, significantly outperforming Philadelphia’s downtown market and many of our suburban competitors. Retail vacancy remains extremely low at 2.3%. We’ve added exciting new amenities like Netflix House and Eataly, which drew record visitation and sales numbers in 2025. KOP’s deep development pipeline continues to expand, with major retail, entertainment, housing and distribution center projects in the land development process and under construction.

Impressive Visitor and Employment Statistics – UMT/KOP had a remarkable number of visitor trips in 2025 with more than 40M, up 1.6M year over year.

King of Prussia District Highlights – King of Prussia District made significant progress on a number of public landscape projects including the groundbreaking of Recharge Park, a 1.8 acre park connected to our recently completed First Avenue Linear Park project. We also secured more than $2M in design and construction grants for the Valley Forge Gateway Trail on North Gulph Road and the Moore Park Multimodal Trail.

We launched a new advertising campaign, Your Business Belongs Here, designed to attract companies to our thriving commercial market. Our Marketing department led dozens of engaging events and delivered a record year for our charitable initiatives that gave back over $225,000 to amazing organizations in the community like The Children’s Hospital King of Prussia Campus, Upper Merion Area Community Cupboard, First Responders and more!

In addition we:

  • Started a roadside litter cleaning program (Clean Streets), removing 6,780 pounds of litter from high-visibility roadways in Upper Merion Township in the first year.
  • Ramped up our Research & Data Analytics program to deliver valuable information to stakeholders, elected officials, the CRE industry, the media and more.
  • Hired a Public Landscapes Manager, Kaitlyn Dibble – to improve our ability to manage the First Avenue Linear Park, Recharge Park and the more than 7 acres of landscaped medians we now steward.

In 2026, we will conduct our first ever community-wide survey and continue to advance our Community Engagement Action Plan, originally launched last year. To help us strengthen partnerships and connections to the primary audiences we serve, we expanded the role of our Events Manager to include Community Engagement.

We look forward to expanding our partnership with you as we continue to accelerate economic growth by making King of Prussia more vibrant, attractive and prosperous!

A Model for Urban Redevelopment

King of Prussia District is honored to be featured in Redesigning Urban Centers: Adapting to Changing Real Estate Markets, a new book by Jonathan Barnett published by Routledge in October 2025. The book examines how suburban and urban areas across the country are transforming in response to evolving real estate trends, shifting demographics and new patterns of living and working. King of Prussia District is highlighted as a leading example of how an edge city can successfully evolve into a vibrant, mixed-use center through strategic planning, placemaking and strong public-private partnerships. We’re proud to have contributed to this important work and to have our efforts recognized alongside other forward-thinking communities nationwide.

Realty Transfer Fees

One of the key goals of King of Prussia District is to increase property values, a strong indicator of the area’s growing appeal within the investment community. As property values rise, the Township, County, School District and Montgomery County Community College benefit from higher tax revenues generated by increased property assessments, along with earned income from Realty Transfer Fees when properties are sold.

Real estate transactions in Montgomery County trigger a 2% Realty Transfer Fee that is shared between the County (1%), Township (.5%) and the School District (.5%) on an annual basis.

 

Business Registrations In Upper Merion Township 2014-2023

With some of the most competitive business tax rates in Montgomery County, and no earned income tax for residents or employees, UMT/KOP continues to be a top destination for businesses. The influx of new businesses is reflected in the exceptionally low office vacancy rates across all building classes. This low vacancy rate not only helps maintain strong commercial property values but also drives higher foot traffic, with employees spending their disposable income at local dining, retail and entertainment venues.

Business Tax Ranking

Upper Merion Township consistently ranks as one of the lowest-taxed suburban business locations in the greater Philadelphia region. The absence of a wage tax, combined with low real estate taxes, makes Upper Merion Township and King of Prussia exceptionally competitive for companies of all industries and sizes.

 

Business Parks

King of Prussia contains approximately 6.2M SF of retail inventory, making it one of the largest retail markets in the peer group. Despite its scale, the vacancy rate is just 2.3% and has remained consistently below 5% for decades, reflecting sustained and robust demand.

Through a mix of digital, out-of-home and connected TV placements, the campaign showcased King of Prussia’s prime location, robust amenities and thriving business environment, positioning KOP as a premier destination for meetings, work, recruitment and living.

In early 2026, the District introduced a new advertising campaign, Your Business Belongs Here, that builds on this success, highlighting King of Prussia’s distinctive position at the intersection of access, amenities and opportunity.

Press Outreach

King of Prussia District proactively works with the press and our stakeholders to keep KOP’s transformation in the spotlight through earned print, broadcast and digital media, amplifying key milestones, development updates and the District evolving identity. In 2025, the District reached an estimated 79M people through earned media.

Community Engagement Action Plan

King of Prussia District released its 2025 Community Engagement Action Plan in July, outlining a strategic roadmap shaped by community input to enhance visibility, deepen partnerships and amplify the vibrancy of King of Prussia. The plan grew out of the KOP Community Connection Project, a year-long initiative in 2024 that engaged employees, residents, consumers, property owners, potential businesses and the Township Board of Supervisors through workshops, surveys, pop-up events, focus groups and interviews. Guided by four core goals—enhancing visibility, deepening partnerships, increasing community engagement and leveraging data—the plan prioritized strategic communication, mobility improvements, data-driven decision-making and business development. Building on this momentum, King of Prussia District released its 2026 Community Engagement Action Plan in February, continuing its commitment to listening, collaborating and advancing a vibrant, attractive and prosperous community.

Connecting with Community

Through the Community Engagement Action Plan, King of Prussia District launched two new engagement committees in 2025: an Employee Engagement Committee and a Resident Engagement Committee. Following a recruitment and interview process designed to build diverse groups that reflect the District’s workforce and residential community, the committees meet throughout the year to help inform future programming and amenities. In addition to the District’s bi-annual Property Manager Lunches and newly established bi-annual meetings with hotel and restaurant partners, these committees ensure the District is consistently listening and responding to the needs of the community we serve.

Clean Streets Litter Program

In May 2025, King of Prussia District launched Clean Streets, a litter cleaning program designed to enhance some of UMT/KOP’s most traveled roadways. Working under a Master Agreement with PennDOT District 6, our contractor removes trash and debris one day per month during the growing season and weekly during the winter months. In the first seven months of the inaugural year, we removed over 3.5 tons of trash along six roads and interchanges. In addition to funds allocated by King of Prussia District, the first year of this project was supported by a $5,000 grant from the Upper Merion Board of Community Assistance.

Moore Park Signage

In 2017, King of Prussia District partnered with AgileCat and stakeholders on a rebranding process that renamed King of Prussia Business Park to Moore Park. In 2024, King of Prussia District engaged D2 Branding of King of Prussia, to build on this foundation by developing a wayfinding master plan. This plan called for gateway signs at Moore Park’s main entrances, directional signs identifying street names, address ranges and public points of interest, as well as pedestrian-scaled trail signs along the First Avenue Linear Park. These trail signs will highlight public points of interest and feature mileage markers indicating distances along the Linear Park. The first round of the sign master plan, three gateway signs at either end of First Avenue and Moore Road, were installed in early 2026.

Learn More

Recharge Park

King of Prussia District engaged Stuart & Associates Landscape Architecture of King of Prussia to design a 1.8-acre multiuse space with amenities along the First Avenue Linear Park. This portfolio of improvements, called Recharge Park, is under construction and will open to the public late spring/early summer 2026. Amenities include seating areas, vibrant landscapes, decorative paving, rock gardens, solar powered work stations and public art installations with special events programmed by King of Prussia District.

King of Prussia Beehives

King of Prussia District partnered for a fourth year with Alveole, a commercial beekeeping group, to install honeybee hives in Moore Park and Renaissance Park. From May through December, the beehives and beekeepers were very active, reaching up to 50,000 inhabitants in each hive at the height of the season, all working to maintain the colony and harvest the extra honey. King of Prussia District sponsored four free workshops and over a dozen hive-side sessions for the public to get hands-on experience in 2025, creating a fun opportunity for neighboring office workers and residents to take a break and enjoy the fruits of the bee’s labor. King of Prussia District looks forward to the coming 2026 season with more fun workshops and greater insight into the plants our bees visit to create the honey in Moore Park and Renaissance Park.

Little Touches, Big Impact

The District continues to develop and enhance new planting beds along the right-of-ways and add attractive and fun amenities. New in 2025 was the addition of a Little Library along the Linear Park open to the public to share or borrow books and store equipment for the public ping pong table at 935 First Avenue. This feature replaced the Linear Park’s first temporary art installation by Binding Things, a year-long colorful yarn-bomb that decorated light poles, hand rails, and even trees along the public trail. Another new feature are six illuminated snowflakes that top the King of Prussia gateway signs and Renaissance Park entrance on Horizon Drive for the winter season.

Our Impact: Transportation

Getting Around

King of Prussia District plans and implements strategies that enhance vehicular, pedestrian, bicycle and public transportation. With initiatives that allow for better highway access, promote efficient public transportation and create pedestrian and bicycle pathways, King of Prussia District is dedicated to making life flow a little easier in KOP.

Valley Forge Gateway Trail

Several state, local and regional organizations are working on plans to design and build the Valley Forge Gateway Trail. The 2.8-mile, multi-phase multimodal trail will create a continuous, safe and accessible connection between the Chester Valley Trail, the Village at Valley Forge, Moore Park, Valley Forge National Historical Park and the Schuylkill River Trail, strengthening the Circuit Trails network. The trail will link neighborhoods, employment centers and major regional destinations while supporting sustainable transportation, recreation and economic development. The alignment includes seven segments, some already constructed and others in final design or planning, and will benefit communities across Upper Merion Township, Norristown Borough, Bridgeport Borough, Lower Providence Township, Tredyffrin Township, Upper Providence Township and West Norriton Township. Key elements include a multimodal connection along North Gulph Road and integration with the First Avenue Linear Park.

King of Prussia District Awarded William Penn Foundation Grant

In October 2025, King of Prussia District announced it was awarded a $326,900 Environment and Public Space grant from the William Penn Foundation to advance planning, education and funding strategies for the Valley Forge Gateway Trail. The three-year initiative will support a comprehensive public engagement and marketing campaign to build community awareness, foster collaboration and secure additional funding for design and construction.
As part of the grant, King of Prussia District is convening regional stakeholders through the Valley Forge Gateway Trail Partnership to help guide future trail development in and around King of Prussia. The partnership will coordinate outreach and education, inform funding, design and programming strategies and strengthen regional collaboration around publicly accessible multimodal transportation improvements. To date, Upper Merion Township, the Transportation Authority and King of Prussia District have secured $975,275 in planning, design and construction funding, including National Park Service support for the first trail segment between Valley Forge National Historical Park and First Avenue.

Moore Road Trail Study

King of Prussia District and Upper Merion Township awarded TPD, Inc. a professional services contract to develop construction drawings for the Moore Road Multimodal Trail. This followed a public RFP and will utilize $1.2M in grant funds from the Commonwealth Financing Authority through the Multimodal Transportation Fund and Local Share Account programs. The project will consist of a multimodal trail, solar powered pedestrian lighting, ADA curb ramps and amenities along both sides of Moore Road from First Avenue to the Schuylkill River Trail West. In addition to design grants, the District and Township have been awarded $900,000 in construction funding to date with more grant applications in the works.

Renaissance Park Right-of-Way Improvement Project

King of Prussia District and Upper Merion Township awarded Boles Smyth Associates a professional services contract in 2025 to develop and engineer roadway and pedestrian improvements on Renaissance Boulevard and Horizon Drive. The project will include designing bicycle and pedestrian facilities in the substantial right-of-way and business park common space. This followed a public RFP after a comprehensive stakeholder engagement process and connectivity master plan which identified pedestrian, bicycle and roadway links between commercial properties and residential neighborhoods. The design project is funded by King of Prussia District. New bike lanes, sidewalks, shared lane markings, a roundabout and multimodal trails make up the bulk of proposed recommendations. Other transportation improvement recommendations include public spaces for parklets, special events and outdoor art. With stakeholder input, the report provides a blueprint outlining bike and pedestrian connections between Renaissance Park properties and public amenities that create a safe and exciting mixed-use district for employees, residents and visitors to enjoy.

Valley Forge Slip Ramp

In 2015, the Montgomery County Planning Commission issued the Turnpike Corridor Reinvestment Project Report. This study identified transportation opportunities along the Turnpike Corridor that include potential slip ramp locations and redevelopment prospects. One of the proposed improvements is the Valley Forge Interchange into Moore Park. King of Prussia District continues to study this transportation improvement and hired Boles Smyth Associates to update information from the original study, including existing traffic volumes, base mapping and roadway changes to update the westbound on/off ramp designs and cost estimates. With design approval from stakeholders the District will start applying for federal transportation grants to build out the westbound ramp and eventually the full interchange.

Our Impact: Land Use & Zoning

Planning for the Future

As part of King of Prussia District’s Land Use & Zoning program, we work with the Township to provide advice on a variety of land use, planning and zoning issues that correspond to commercial, industrial and multifamily residential sections of the Township. The District assists with zoning ordinance creation and revisions and weighs in on key planning elements such as adoption of an updated Comprehensive Plan, implementation of an official map to highlight desired infrastructure improvements over time and opinions related to development proposals.

Fiscal Impact Analysis

King of Prussia District worked with Upper Merion Township to produce a Township-wide Fiscal Impact Analysis (FIA). The FIA, conducted by Urban3, studied the financial effects of various land uses on the Township’s budget. The study looked at the township on a parcel by parcel basis to help the BID and the Township better understand which land uses have net positive, neutral, or negative impacts on local government finances. The information gleaned from the report will help guide future planning decisions.

Upper Merion Township Comprehensive Plan

In January 2024, the Board of Supervisors and Township staff began the public process to update Upper Merion’s Comprehensive Plan. This process includes several public meetings and community engagements culminating in a document that articulates future visions and goals of the Township. King of Prussia District is one of the organizations assisting the Upper Merion Planning Department by participating in public meetings and providing research and data analytics resources. The final document is scheduled for publication and release in late 2026.

Our Impact: Research & Data Analytics
