Artisan Land Company has proposed a 41-lot single-family neighborhood on the Landis Tract. The tract crosses three municipalities: Schwenksville, Perkiomen Township and Lower Frederick Township. The Schwenksville part is about 8.2 acres off Centennial Street and would hold 13 homes. Sidewalks would link it to the rest of the project and to the borough. The county records list the full tract as 18 acres.
A January 2025 Perkiomen Township planning commission agenda describes the Perkiomen part of the same project as the Landis Farm. It says the developer filed a preliminary plan under the township's open space residential overlay rules. The county planning commission generally supports the plan as consistent with local comprehensive plans. No news coverage, opposition or approval decisions were found online.
What it could mean nearby
- Sidewalks would connect the new homes to the rest of the project and to the borough, which could make walking easier.
- Thirteen new homes in Schwenksville, and 41 across the whole project, would add households and some traffic on Centennial Street and nearby roads.
- The Perkiomen portion falls under an open space residential overlay, which usually means homes are clustered to leave some land open. The records found do not say how much open space this plan includes.
Where it stands
A preliminary plan was before the Perkiomen Township planning commission in early 2025, and the county filed its latest record on 2025-06-02. No later approvals were found. Each municipality usually reviews and approves its own part of a subdivision, followed by final plans and permits before construction.
