Urban Outfitters has leased the former Waterloo Gardens site in Devon, Penn., Tredyffrin-Easttown Patch reports, and is hoping to build a new town center that would include a Terrain garden center, a 93-room hotel and an Anthropologie store.
Urban Outfitters would call the 6.5-acre site, which housed Waterloo Gardens until June 2012, "Devon Yard." The site is owned by developers Eli Kahn and Wade McDevitt.
"As Waterloo Gardens was closing its final store location in Exton in August, co-owner Lucy LeBoutillier told Patch that she had hoped Terrain would be a part of whatever development ended up taking over the Devon location," Patch reported.
The proposal also indicates plans for a handful of eateries, both fine dining and casual, a specialty foods market and a spa and exercise studio.
