Tell us in the comments what you would like to see fill this vacancy.

Vacant: 420 S. York Road, Hatboro

Description: A space is available within the 55 and over condominium community.

Size: 2,000 square feet

Zoning: Office, RC-1 (office buildings, dental/medical clinics, retail, restaurants all permitted)

History: The Victorian Village at Loller Academy was constructed in 2008 and 2010. Billed as a small community within the residential living community, , Susquehanna Bank and  are located onsite. This specific space was built in 2009, but never occupied, according to Hatboro Zoning Officer Keith Fugate.

The Challenge: Hatboro Main Street Manager Stephen Barth said the assessments on the units while empty are relatively low. However, once the units - and retail space - is filled taxes are "really high." That, coupled with a $2,500 per month rent, has kept prospects from committing. 

Interest: Barth said insurance offices, gift stores and mini pharmacies have expressed interest in the available space. 

Potential: Any goods or service provider that would complement the existing businesses at Victorian Village, while filling a need for the community's residents would be a good fit.
