The plan is for 34 attached townhouses on a 4.14-acre site on the south side of Woodbourne Road in Middletown Township. County records show the homes would be built under the township's attainable housing option, at about 8.76 homes per acre. The site now has a vacant two-story building, a parking lot and driveways, and all of it would be demolished. Public water and sewer already serve the site.
Local news coverage describes what appears to be this project: Thatcher Square Townhomes at 1492 Woodbourne Road, the former Knights of Columbus banquet hall site. The coverage names W.B. Homes as the builder. It does not mention Redford Acquisitions, so the link between the two companies is unconfirmed. Seven of the 34 homes (about 20 percent) are to be attainable. Habitat for Humanity of Bucks County would sell them to income-qualified buyers who live or work in Bucks County.
The township supervisors reportedly approved the plan in October 2025. It is described as the first project under the new townhome rules for this zoning district.
What it could mean nearby
- Traffic: the developer says the former banquet hall and restaurant drew more traffic than 34 homes would. This is the developer's claim, not an independent study.
- Housing: 34 new ownership homes, including about seven priced for moderate-income buyers (reported at roughly $365,000 each).
- Redevelopment: a vacant, aging building and paved lot would be replaced with homes.
- Utilities: the site already has public water and sewer, so no new service extensions are indicated in the county record.
Where it stands
News coverage reports that the Middletown Township supervisors approved the plan 4-0 in early October 2025. Next steps usually include final engineering and permit reviews, then demolition and construction. No later filings were found.
