A developer, GSI Secane, LLC, has proposed a self-storage facility of about 124,416 square feet on a 3.06-acre site in the Secane area of Upper Darby Township, Delaware County. Self-storage buildings rent out private units to households and businesses for belongings, inventory or equipment.
The county record doesn't say what is on the site now. Its latest filing is dated February 20, 2025. KCI Technologies, Inc. also appears on the filing. That is an engineering and design firm, which usually prepares site plans.
No news coverage, township meeting records, hearing notices or developer page about this project turned up online. The explanation here rests on the county facts alone. Nothing was found on opposition, approvals or who would operate the facility.
What it could mean nearby
- Self-storage sites usually produce less daily traffic than housing or retail. The records don't include a traffic study for this site.
- The records don't say whether the project would add homes, or how many jobs it would create. Staffing at storage facilities is usually small.
- A 3.06-acre site with a building this size would likely add paved and roofed area. Stormwater management would typically be reviewed during approval.
Where it stands
The county shows a filing from February 2025, and no later approvals or hearings were found online. Projects like this usually go through township review of the land development plan, possibly a zoning hearing board decision, and then a local decision on the plan.
