The proposal, called Pickering Valley in township records, would put twelve storage buildings on a single 27.5-acre lot at 1800 and 1804 Horseshoe Pike in West Brandywine Township. Together they would total about 97,400 square feet. Three of the buildings would be indoor, climate-controlled storage.
The plan also includes a lot line revision. This adjusts the boundary between the two properties so the storage buildings sit on one lot.
The township's newsletter and a board agenda describe the project. No news coverage, opposition, or named storage operator was found. The records reviewed did not say what is on the site now.
What it could mean nearby
- Storage uses usually bring fewer daily car trips than shops or homes. No traffic study was found, so the effect on Horseshoe Pike (US 322) is unconfirmed.
- No records found mention new homes, school impacts, or large numbers of jobs.
Where it stands
The plan is listed as an active subdivision and land development application on the township's update page. A township agenda says the legal review clock began on 2025-03-13 and was set to run to 2026-04-30. No approval vote was found, so the current status is unconfirmed. Next steps usually include the planning commission's review, a supervisors' vote on final approval, and then building permits.
