A massive warehouse could be coming to Falls Township.
Stalwart Equities presented a sketch plan for a 916,300-square-foot warehouse and 60,000-square-feet of office space at 2300 Pennsylvania Avenue in the Morrisville section on the township during the Board of Supervisors meeting Monday evening.
Representative for Stalwart Equities said three parcels would be combined to create a 95-acre lot that would sit back from the roadway and along the Delaware River. The property would include the former Solvay and part of the Rogers Foam Corporation tracts and abut East Post Road and Biles Creek.
The development is planned for the area that was known as Moon Island, which since was joined with the larger county landmass.
No tenant for the proposed warehouse has been found, but the building could be broken up for use by multiple companies. A engineer working with the developer said usually large, national companies use spaces that big for storage before distribution in New Jersey and the Philadelphia region.
The engineer said the building would be one foot above the flood elevation and out of floodway.
The property would not store hazardous materials or toxic chemicals, representatives for the developer said.
Township officials said that the warehouse and offices could employee 500 or more people.
The sketch plan has entry and exits at Pennsylvania Avenue and East Post Avenue.
The engineer for the project said the design is just a concept so far. More formal plans would have to submitted to the township for an in-depth review and to come before the public.
The site could host 700 vehicle a day and 150 to 200 per day would be trucks.
The developer said they have been in discussions with PennDOT and the township on traffic. They showed off several preliminary traffic plans, including options to direct vehicles onto nearby Route 13 and Route 1.
In a statement, the township noted that the completed development would bring in about $963,000 in real estate taxes to the Pennsbury School District, $41,000 in municipal taxes, and $33,000 in local services taxes each year.
“The project looks very promising,” Supervisor Brian Galloway said. “It will be a good thing for our tax base.”
Samuel Wachsman, Stalwart Equities president, told the Supervisors that there are similar developments in Woodbridge, New Jersey, and Long Island, New York, which has Walmart as its tenant.
The area of the proposed development was the site of the county’s first courthouse in the late 1600s. The county’s first murder trial was held in the courthouse, which is long gone, and the execution is said to have happened not far away, according to a 1909 collection of papers compiled by the Bucks County Historical Society.
