Amazon proposes to tear down the existing building at 760 Moore Road in Upper Merion Township and build a new warehouse of about 98,500 square feet. The site covers 21.43 acres. The facility would be a last-mile distribution center, where packages are sorted and sent out for local delivery. The plans include loading docks, parking, stormwater controls and landscaping.
Township records say the site now holds a much larger building of roughly 400,000 square feet, described as an office building. The county filing calls it a warehouse. The new building would be far smaller than the current one. The developer has agreed to give the township a 25-foot strip of land along Moore Road for a public trail.
No news coverage of opposition was found. The township supervisors' July 2026 agenda included the plan for a vote, but the outcome was not found online.
What it could mean nearby
- Delivery vans and trucks would likely add traffic on and near Moore Road. The records reviewed give no traffic numbers.
- A 25-foot trail easement along Moore Road would support the township's planned Moore Road walking and biking trail.
- The site is zoned King of Prussia Mixed-Use, so the warehouse is being reviewed under that district's rules. The records show waivers (exceptions to township rules) in the approval resolution.
- Stormwater management systems are part of the plan. The sources reviewed give no details on jobs.
