MLP Ventures: King of Prussia Campus

Year Planned: 2030

Utility Provider: PECO

MLP Ventures proposed a data center campus across five sites in Upper Merion Township, King of Prussia: 2201 to 2901 Renaissance Boulevard, 2100 Renaissance Boulevard, 3200 Horizon Drive, 600 River Road and the former GlaxoSmithKline research campus at 411 Swedeland Road. The plans included on-site natural gas generation. MLP filed them in March 2026, days before the township adopted a stricter data center ordinance.

The Upper Merion Planning Commission recommended denial in July 2026, and the supervisors unanimously denied all five applications in August 2026. MLP sued the township in county court in September 2026 and withdrew its zoning hearing board appeals in October 2026. The lawsuits are pending.
