The county filing describes a plan to merge 13 separate lots, totaling 3.03 acres, into one lot at 742 W. Front Street in Chester City. A new warehouse of about 61,200 square feet would then be built on the combined site.
The records don't say what is on the land today. Thirteen small lots suggest a mix of vacant or older parcels, but that isn't confirmed. They also don't name a tenant or say what the warehouse would store.
The filing lists the owner entity, 742 W. Front Street, LLC, and the engineering firm Kimley-Horn. No news coverage, meeting agendas, hearing notices or developer web pages specific to this project were found, so nothing is known about opposition or approvals.
What it could mean nearby
- Warehouses usually bring truck and delivery traffic, so access and truck routes are worth watching. No traffic study was found for this project.
- Combining 13 lots into one removes the internal lot lines and makes a single large site for development.
- Job numbers and the future occupant are unknown.
Where it stands
The latest county filing, dated 2025-02-20, shows the project in the plan review stage. Typically the city reviews the lot consolidation and land development plan, and the county planning body gives comments. Approval and permits follow, and construction comes after that. No later status was found online.
