King of Prussia District has launched its 2026 Report to the Community, an interactive website showcasing King of Prussia’s 2025 development activity and commercial market performance, as well as the District’s impact.

Founded in 2010, the District is dedicated to accelerating economic growth by making KOP vibrant, attractive, and prosperous. The report provides insights into King of Prussia’s commercial real estate, hospitality, retail, healthcare, and life sciences sectors, while also highlighting the community’s expanding workforce and residential growth. Additionally, it recaps the District’s efforts to enhance KOP’s business climate, infrastructure, and overall quality of life.

Five Key Takeaways from the Report

1. Upper Merion Township/King of Prussia continues to outperform commercial regional markets.

With a Class A vacancy rate of 13 percent across 3.5 million square feet of space, UMT/KOP significantly outperforms Philadelphia’s downtown market and many surrounding suburban markets. Retail vacancy remained exceptionally low, at just 2.3 percent across 6.2 million square feet of retail inventory, bolstered by 39 new businesses in 2025 and early 2026.

2. Visitor traffic and economic activity remain remarkably strong.

More than 40 million visitor trips in 2025, an increase of 1.6 million year over year, demonstrate sustained consumer demand. UMT/KOP leads surrounding municipalities in monthly visitation, outperforming nearby markets, including Radnor, Plymouth Meeting, Tredyffrin, and West Whiteland.

3. Major investments and amenities drive continued growth.

High-profile experiential additions, like Netflix House and Eataly, along with a robust pipeline of major retail, entertainment, housing, and distribution center projects, continue to expand King of Prussia’s business ecosystem.

4. UMT/KOP is investing in infrastructure that supports business success and quality of life.

New parks, trails, and public landscape projects, including the District’s Recharge Park, set to open late spring, strengthen King of Prussia’s position as a premier place for both community and commerce. Initiatives like the District’s new Clean Streets Litter Program help maintain the welcoming environment that businesses and visitors expect.
