The plan is for one large building of about 96,768 square feet on a vacant tract of roughly 6.8 acres at 1763 Colony Road in West Manchester Township. The township's May 2025 planning agenda calls it a flex-space building. Flex space can serve warehouse, light industrial or office uses. The plan also includes parking and related site improvements.
A broker listing markets the site as an approved, build-to-suit industrial building. The listing describes about 17 loading docks, 89 car spaces and a few trailer spaces. It names no tenant or buyer. No news coverage or reports of opposition were found. The records do not show whether construction has started.
What it could mean nearby
- Loading docks and trailer parking point to regular truck traffic on Colony Road and nearby routes.
- A building this size could bring warehouse or light-industrial jobs. The number depends on who occupies it.
- The tract is vacant now, so the plan would replace open land with a building and parking.
Where it stands
The plan went to the township planning commission in May 2025, and a broker listing later called it approved. The approval date and conditions were not found. Next steps usually include final approval conditions, permits, construction and finding a tenant or buyer.
