Superior Holdings, LLC proposes 77 detached single-family homes on a consolidated 46-acre site east of Green Street and Trenton Avenue in Hulmeville Borough. Lots would range from about 7,000 to 11,400 square feet. Roughly 25 acres, more than half the site, would stay as open space.
The land is farmland today, with a house, a storage barn and other buildings that would be removed.
The same developer earlier pursued a larger mixed plan on what appears to be the same farm site. That plan had about 121 homes, including townhomes and apartments. Nearby residents opposed it at borough council hearings in 2023, mainly over stormwater, emergency access and size. The 77-home, single-family-only plan looks like a later, smaller version, though the sources found do not say so directly.
What it could mean nearby
- Adds 77 households to a borough of roughly 1,000 residents, a large increase for a small community.
- About 25 acres of open space would remain, though the records do not say whether it would be public.
- Earlier hearings raised concerns about stormwater runoff and emergency vehicle access, which are likely to come up again.
- Replaces working farmland with suburban housing.
Where it stands
The county filing dated June 2026 shows the plan is under review, and no approval decision was found. Next steps usually include borough and county planning review, then a public vote by borough council on subdivision and land development approval.
