The developer proposes a four-story self-storage building of about 124,416 square feet. It would sit on a vacant 2.85-acre site on the east side of Lincoln Highway (US Route 1), at the Pennsylvania Turnpike and the south end of Old Trevose Road in Bensalem. Public water and sewer already serve the site.

The township zoning hearing board has granted a special exception to build taller than normally allowed, plus several variances. Township agendas show the requests covered lot size, disturbance of woodlands and steep slopes, loading space and sign size. An earlier application for the same parcel appeared on a December 2023 agenda, and a new one was heard in June 2025.

A local news preview says the developer later asked the township planning commission for land development approval. No news coverage of opposition was found, and no tenant or operator has been named.

Where it stands

The zoning hearing board has granted its relief, and the project has moved on to land development review, with the planning commission shown on a January 2026 agenda preview. The usual next steps are a planning commission recommendation, a decision by the township supervisors, and then building permits. The final outcome of land development approval was not confirmed.
