A land development plan has been filed for a new 30,000-square-foot office building on about 6.9 acres in Lower Oxford Township, Chester County. The project is called the Penn-Delmar Power commercial building. For comparison, 30,000 square feet is roughly the footprint of several large houses combined, or a modest one- to three-story office building.
The site is in the C-2 Special Limited Business District. This is a zoning category that allows certain commercial and business uses. County records do not say what is on the land now, who will occupy the building, or which street it fronts.
No news coverage, township meeting records, or developer project page specific to this project was found online. This explanation relies on the county planning records alone.
What it could mean nearby
- Traffic: a 30,000 sq ft office would add daily employee and visitor trips, but no traffic study was found.
- Jobs: an office of this size could bring local workplace jobs, though the number and type are unknown.
- Open space: the building would occupy part of a 6.9-acre site, and how much green space remains is not known.
Where it stands
The latest county filing, dated 2026-01-28, shows a land development plan under review. Next steps usually include county and township planning reviews, a township planning commission discussion, and a vote by the township supervisors on approval.
