Major Main Line redevelopment site near N.J. border hits market through Colliers

For regional investors and developers tracking suburban commercial corridors just a short drive across the Delaware River from New Jersey, Colliers has announced the exclusive sale offering for 132–134 Rock Hill Road, in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania.

Encompassing approximately 5.12 acres at the gateway to Lower Merion Township, the property serves as the long-time former home of BMW of the Main Line. Managed exclusively by Colliers Senior Vice Presidents Rich Weitzman and Larry Bergen, the high-visibility site offers unique positioning just minutes from Interstate 76 (the Schuylkill Expressway)—providing seamless transit connectivity toward Center City Philadelphia and easy access to New Jersey-bound bridges.

Currently featuring a 10,880-square-foot storage and office building alongside roughly 180 surface parking spaces, the parcel sits within the Rock Hill Road District (RHR) Overlay. This municipal framework is specifically designed to encourage medium-intensity, mixed-use growth.

The flexible zoning supports a wide array of prospective future uses, drawing attention from local and regional developers alike. Potential development paths include:

  • Multifamily and Townhomes: High-density residential housing to meet continuous Main Line demand.
  • Mixed-Use Commercial: Combined retail, office, or health care applications.
  • Specialized Logistics: Automotive uses, surface storage, or modern self-facility concepts.

“132–134 Rock Hill Road represents a compelling and unique opportunity to acquire a well-located property, with significant flexibility, in one of the Main Line’s most established markets,” Larry Bergen, senior vice president at Colliers, said.

Because of its strategic placement near major arteries like I-76, US Route 1, and I-476, the site functions as a key commercial bridge for capital moving fluidly between Pennsylvania suburban submarkets and the greater Delaware Valley/South Jersey economic ecosystem. Colliers reports robust inquiry levels from the development community as activity ramps up heading into the final stretch of 2026.
