New Maple Glen Housing Project Breaks Ground

UPPER DUBLIN TOWNSHIP, PA — Construction will be a common sight at the Maple Glen Triangle over the next six months or so.

With townhome construction already underway near the Key Bank on Norristown Road in Horsham Township, a major housing project is starting on the other side of the Maple Glen Triangle.

Work has started on Maple Glen Pointe, located at the corner of Norristown and Limekiln roads, where trees were wiped out by a tornado that swept through the area in September 2021.

Maple Glen Pointe will include 72 townhomes priced in the $700,000 and up range on 18 acres purchased by Pulte Homes for $12.2 million.

The townhomes will average 2,500 square feet each with three to four bedrooms. The development is planned to have 21 buildings.

The Maple Glen Triangle is where Horsham Township and Upper Dublin Township meet, separated by Welsh Road.

This is the area where traffic congests Norristown Road during the morning and evening rush hours, where gridlock and traffic occur, and where vehicles line up on Limekiln Road waiting for the traffic light to change colors.

Residents in Upper Dublin and Horsham townships are complaining that both housing projects will continue to clutter the two intersections in the Maple Glen Triangle.

Horsham Township has made traffic signal changes at Welsh Road and Norristown Road.

Behind the Key Bank, 53 townhomes are being built on 14 acres.

Both properties were battered by Hurricane Ida, in which a tornado touched down in September 2021 and many trees were knocked down in both townships, clearing the path for housing development.
