Marlton Village, Marlton Meeting and Marlton Center was a trio of development projects by Fox Developers and Market Realty Company located along Old Marlton Pike between Route 73 and the border with Cherry Hill and extended to Brick Road. This was another of Evesham's uncompleted developments. Of the three projects, only Marlton Village was actually completed-700 townhouses on Old Marlton Pike between South Cropwell Road and the Cherry Hill border. Construction at Marlton Village started in the Fall of 1972.
Soon afterward construction started on the second project, Marlton Meeting, located east of Marlton Village. Only about half of Marlton Meeting, a condominium development, was completed and the entire project was abandoned.
The center point of the 290 acre development was to be a 500,000 square foot enclosed shopping mall which was to be called Marlton Center. The center was to be anchored by a major department store along with a Grant City discount store and a Penn Fruit supermarket. Penn Fruit was a partner in the development.
Additional projects at Marlton Center were to include a theater, motor inn and office buildings.
The Marlton Center site sat vacant until the mid 1980's, when the property was acquired by Linpro, the former Lincoln Property Company, who were completing thier work at Greentree Village.
First Linpro completed the condominium section with the Meadows. The portion of the property that was to contain the shopping mall was divided and an office park and the Marlton Crossing Shopping Center was built there. Office and warehouse buildings were built in the southern portion of the tract. The portion of the site between South Cropwell Road and Marlton Meeting, originally planned for apartments, was sold to John B. Canuso and was developed into the Carrefour development of single family homes.
