Work has begun on transforming the longtime business into a self-storage facility on Horsham Road.
The former Joseph’s Catering property on Horsham Road is beginning its transformation into a self-storage facility. Construction has begun to tear down the building and make way for a self-storage facility at 901 Horsham Rd. next to Hatboro-Horsham High School.
The three-story, 120,000-square-foot building, which sits on 5.68 acres, will be for personal storage with businesses prohibited from storing equipment and such.
Street lamps will also be added along Horsham Road from Babylon Road to the far end of the high school property, developers said in a presentation to Horsham Township Council in March 2023.
Plans for the property went through numerous proposals over the years.
“I do believe this is the best that has come along,” said Township Manager Bill Walker in regard to proposals that have come before the township for apartments and even a hotel in the past decade.
The project calls for parking, lighting, and landscaping. It will feature 16 parking spaces in front, one access off Horsham Road, decorative street lamps, and new sidewalks. The site will be highly automated and well-secured with an office in the front for keycard pickup. Leases will also be monthly.
“Thank you so much, Joseph’s Catering,” Horsham Township posted on its Facebook page. “You were a big part of our community for over 50 years. Not only were you a local business, but you were also township residents and big supporters of our community. We will miss you but wish you a well-deserved, happy retirement.”
