Foundry Yards is a proposed townhome community at 864 West 5th Street in Lansdale, Montgomery County. It would sit on about 5.32 acres and include 73 homes. County records describe a mix of stacked units (30) and single-family homes (13).
The land is now an industrial site with self-storage and steel fabrication buildings. Those buildings would be torn down to make room for the homes.
The filings name an engineering firm and a home-building land acquisition company. No news coverage, meeting agendas, or developer project page specific to this project was found online, so nothing is known here about opposition, approvals, or who will live there.
What it could mean nearby
- Replacing industrial uses with homes could change truck and business traffic to household car trips, but no traffic study was found.
- 73 new households would add demand for schools, water, sewer and borough services; no figures were found.
- Demolishing the existing buildings means construction activity on the site, with timing not yet public.
Where it stands
A filing with the county was recorded on 2026-01-06, so the plan appears to be in early municipal review. Next steps usually include borough review of the land development plan, any needed zoning approval, and a decision by the governing body.
