CORE5 Industrial Partners proposes three warehouse buildings totaling about 587,000 square feet on roughly 80 acres at 505-525 Allentown Road in Towamencin Township. This is a revision to an earlier plan, so the layout or details of an existing proposal are being updated.
County records do not say what is on the site now or who might occupy the buildings. Montgomery County planners generally support the plan. They want a wider shared-use path (a paved walking and biking trail) along Wambold Road.
A 2021 trade article describes a similarly named project, Core5 Logistics Center at Park 31 in the Souderton area. It was a speculative project of about 591,000 square feet on 74 acres, built without a named tenant. The article does not name a township, and its size and acreage differ from the county figures. It may be an earlier version of this plan, but that is not confirmed. No news coverage, meeting records or opposition specific to the Towamencin revision were found.
What it could mean nearby
- Truck and car traffic would likely rise on Allentown Road and Wambold Road, though the records give no traffic figures.
- A wider shared-use path along Wambold Road would add walking and biking space if the township requires it.
- Warehouse jobs are possible, but no tenant or job count was found.
Where it stands
The county planning review was filed on 2024-11-14, and county planners generally support the plan. Next, the township would usually review and vote on the revised plan. Any conditions, such as the wider path, would normally be settled before final approval and permits.

- Jan 2021 Trade press reported construction starting on a similarly named Core5 Park 31 project near Souderton (match to this site not confirmed)
Want to weigh in? The Towamencin Township supervisors and planning commission would normally decide on the plan, and residents can usually comment at their public meetings, though no specific meeting was found.
