Executive Summary

REAL Commercial, Suburban West is pleased to exclusively offer 986-990 Pottstown Pike, a ±5.1-acre, two-parcel site on PA Route 100 in West Vincent Township, Chester County, with conditional use approval for a 102,000 SF, three-story self storage facility.

On May 19, 2025, the West Vincent Township Board of Supervisors granted conditional use approval in the PC/LI Planned Commercial/Limited Industrial District. The facility is approved on the ±2.88-acre rear parcel (UPI 25-6-70), so a buyer can skip the conditional use process and move straight into final land development.

Much of the pre-development work is complete: civil, landscape and screening plans (Commonwealth Engineers), architectural layout (SAA Architects), a stormwater management report, a DEP sewer exemption letter, Zoning Hearing Board relief, a lot line exchange, and a traffic generation analysis (Heinrich & Klein) projecting 148 daily trips via a full-movement driveway on Route 100.

The ±2.22-acre front parcel (990) fronts Route 100 and is improved with a ±3,000 SF two-story building.

Pricing available upon request.
