Freeland Square Honored with 2024 Montgomery Award
At W.B. Homes, we are honored to announce that Freeland Square, our residential infill redevelopment project in Collegeville Borough, has received a prestigious 2024 Montgomery Award for Excellence in Planning and Design. This recognition celebrates our commitment to collaborative planning, creative design, and delivering lasting benefits to the community and environment.
About the Montgomery Award
The Montgomery Awards highlight exceptional projects in Montgomery County that exemplify high standards in planning, design, and advocacy. This award not only acknowledges outstanding craftsmanship but also recognizes the collective effort of communities, organizations, and developers working to enhance the county’s neighborhoods.
Why Freeland Square Stands Out
Freeland Square is a thoughtfully designed townhome neighborhood that seamlessly integrates into the heart of Collegeville Borough. Situated on a formerly underutilized industrial site, this project represents the transformative power of strategic infill development. With input from borough officials, community members, and our talented team, the project successfully converted a once-obsolete property into a vibrant residential space.
Upscale Design, Downtown Lifestyle
Freeland Square offered an exceptional combination of modern design and premium Montgomery County living. The community featured:
- 2- and 3-story floorplans with 3-4 bedrooms, 2.5+ baths, and 2-car garages
- Finished lower levels and included decks
- Extensive personalization opportunities through a comprehensive customization catalog
The townhomes blended contemporary exterior architecture with open-concept floor plans, creating homes that were as functional as they were beautiful.
A Walkable Neighborhood in Collegeville
Nestled within the borough of Collegeville, Freeland Square homeowners enjoy a walkable setting with access to local attractions, including:
- Live music, dining, and the beer garden across the street at Trouble’s End Brewing
- Kimberton Whole Foods and Collegeville Community Park
- Trailhead access to the Perkiomen Trail & Perkiomen Creek
- Cultural experiences at Ursinus College, including music, art, theater, and athletics
Lasting Impact
Freeland Square is more than just a neighborhood—it’s a community-driven project that brings new life to the heart of Collegeville. By transforming a former industrial site into a thoughtfully designed townhome community, we’ve enhanced walkability, added to the local economy, and provided lasting environmental benefits, including reduced stormwater runoff and an expanded tree canopy.
Receiving a Montgomery Award is a reflection of our dedication to creating communities that elevate the standard of living for homeowners and the surrounding neighborhood alike. At W.B. Homes, we’re proud to continue our legacy of building homes and neighborhoods that have a positive and lasting impact.
