Site Work Starting At 2nd Hatboro Apartment Complex Plan

HATBORO, PA —The former TNT Diner property is gone.

Driving on York Road this weekend, the properties at 21-23 & 37 N. York Rd. have been reduced to rubble now that demolition work by the developer has been completed, including the old TNT Diner building at 37 N. York Rd.

With demolition done, the contractor will begin site work to prepare the site for the future apartment building, borough officials said.

The development went through a review by the Borough’s Planning Commission, who ultimately issued a recommendation on the Preliminary/Final Land Development at their March 12, 2024, meeting.

The project also underwent a Conditional Use Hearing Process through Borough Council, which took place on Monday, Jan. 22, 2024, after favorable recommendations from the Planning Commission on the same.

The old diner property is the second that came before the Hatboro Borough Council under its Town Center Ordinance, which allows for mixed-use residential and retail development.

The developer has proposed a three-story building featuring 102 residential units, 4,732 square feet of first-floor retail space, and 3,142 square feet of a first-floor amenity area that would only be for those living in the apartments.

As approved, the development consists of:

• Three Stories
• 102 Residential Units
• 4,732 SQFT 1st Floor Retail Space along York Road
• 3,142 SQFT 1st Floor Amenity Area along York Road

Throughout the Conditional Use and Land Development process, Borough Council, the Planning Commission, and residents worked with the developer to come up with an approved design that best reflected the charm of downtown Hatboro.

Borough officials said they will continue to provide updates to residents and business owners as the project progresses.

Anyone with questions or concerns regarding the project should contact Borough Hall at 215-443-9100.
