On November 25th, the Philadelphia Business Journal first reported that the DoubleTree Suites by Hilton Hotel Philadelphia West, located at 640 Fountain Road in Plymouth Meeting (Plymouth Township), had closed.

After aggregating the article, MoreThanTheCurve.com was contacted by Tony Re, the president of Kingsbury Financial, the owner of the hotel property, and received the following statement: “We are writing to share that we have closed the building for the winter in order to commence renovations ahead of its intended conversion to a residential use.”

The hotel had 253 suites, a restaurant, an atrium bar, an indoor pool, a fitness space, and several meeting rooms. It sits on an almost eight-acre site and is surrounded by other properties that were recently acquired or are about to be acquired.

The 22-acre Executive Campus at 600-660 West Germantown Pike sold in October 2024. It consists of five office buildings. The office building on just over four acres at 2250 Hickory Road sold in June 2025. These properties were acquired by two entities associated with a partnership between FLD Group and the Adjmi family.

Nextdoor at the Plymouth Meeting Mall, an entity associated with Goodman Properties, acquired in October the portion of the mall that was once home to Macy’s and is now newly renovated, with tenants such as Dick’s Sporting Goods, Miller’s Ale House, Edge Fitness, Michael’s, and Burlington.

On November 20th, it became public that LA Partners (formerly Lubert-Adler) was closing in on the acquisition of the main portion of the mall between the section acquired by Goodman and Boscov’s, along with the majority of the parking, and outside the mall areas with restaurants, the old IKEA office building, and the AMC Theater. LA Partners is planning a town center focused on sports facilities.

The partnership between FLD Group and the Adjimi family has stated that it does not have any current redevelopment plans for its recently acquired properties in Plymouth Meeting and that it plans to rebrand and improve the office campus.

Converting the recently closed hotel to a residential use will require zoning relief or a zoning amendment from the township’s council.

More to come.
