Villanova University has acquired an 8.3-acre residential parcel adjacent to its soon-to-open Cabrini Campus as the school continues to expand its Main Line footprint.
The private university paid $2.25 million for the property at 1250 Upper Gulph Road, according to Chester County property records. The parcel sits at the border of Chester and Delaware counties between the Cabrini Campus in Radnor and St. Davids Golf Club in Wayne.
The seller was Janice Taylor Gordon, who had owned the residential property since 1969, property records show.
Representatives for Villanova did not respond to requests for comment.
Villanova acquired Cabrini University's former 112-acre campus after the school closed its doors in spring 2024. It plans to reopen the campus to its students in the fall.
An adjacent property at 1290 Upper Gulph Road was acquired by Villanova as part of its 2024 deal with Cabrini. The university paid $11.5 million for Cabrini's physical campus, in addition to $45 million to cover the defunct school's long-term debt.
The 1250 Upper Gulph Road property is near a turf athletic field and the campus's 100,000-square-foot Dixon Center and Thomas P. Nerney Pavilion, which houses a fitness center, indoor pool, basketball courts and locker rooms.
Villanova is investing some $75 million to renovate and repurpose buildings on the former Cabrini campus. Villanova President Rev. Peter M. Donahue has pointed to the athletic and recreational facilities as being less in need of renovation than other buildings on the campus.
