The full picture AI research · Nov 1, 2026

A developer proposes 26 townhomes and triplexes at 488 Harleysville Pike in Lower Salford Township. The 9.15-acre site now holds a house and outbuildings, which would be removed.

The homes would sit along private roads ending in cul-de-sacs. Two stormwater basins would collect and slow runoff. A public trail would run through preserved open space.

The township's online development tracker lists the project as approved at the final plan stage, with 26 townhouse units. No news coverage or developer project page was found. The tracker gives no approval date and does not say who will occupy the homes.

Want to weigh in? The Lower Salford Township Board of Supervisors makes final plan decisions, so residents can ask the township about meeting schedules and public comment, though the tracker shows approval already given.
