Gravel Pike Holdings, LLC plans to expand its light manufacturing building at 2528 Quakertown Road in Upper Hanover Township. The plan adds a two-story addition of about 17,000 square feet on the west side of the existing building. The addition would have truck loading bays.
The site covers about 3.9 acres and already has a working manufacturing facility. The project would add 10 parking spaces, bringing the total to 37. Space for 34 more spaces would be set aside and not built unless needed later. The building would connect to public water and public sewer.
No news coverage, developer project page, or township meeting record could be confirmed for this project. The expansion is described only in the county planning record, filed May 1, 2026.
What it could mean nearby
- Truck loading bays could mean more delivery and truck trips on Quakertown Road, but no traffic study was found.
- The addition suggests the existing manufacturer is growing, which could support jobs. The records give no job numbers.
- Public water and sewer will serve the building, so no new wells or septic systems are planned.
- The 34 reserved parking spaces would stay unbuilt for now, which leaves more open ground.
Where it stands
The county filed the project on 2026-05-01, which means it is in local review. Typically the township planning commission and supervisors review the land development plan next. They can approve it with conditions, and building permits follow.
