A developer proposes to build two new buildings on an 8.5-acre site on the southwest side of Street Road in Bensalem, across from Reading Avenue. One would be a grocery store of about 23,300 square feet. The other would be a roughly 12,600-square-foot building with shops and a restaurant that has a drive-through window.
Three existing office buildings on the site, about 37,900 square feet in total, would be demolished first. The Pennsylvania Turnpike runs along the south edge of the property.
No news coverage, developer page or meeting document that could be confirmed as being about this site was found. The grocery operator and restaurant tenant are unknown.
What it could mean nearby
- The records do not include traffic figures. A grocery store and a drive-through restaurant usually bring more daily car trips and changes to driveways and turn lanes on Street Road.
- Offices would be replaced by retail, so the types of jobs and the daily pattern of visitors would change.
- The turnpike borders the south side of the site, so it is already next to a major highway.
Where it stands
A filing with the county was made on 2025-09-04, which indicates the plans are under township and county review. Next steps usually include township planning commission and supervisors' review of the land development plan, then permits before demolition and construction.
