About
Steelpointe is a 64-acre brownfield redevelopment on the former Phoenix Iron Works site in Phoenixville Borough, Chester County — an industrial operation that produced iron nails, railroad rails, and Civil War cannons from its founding in 1790 until the steel works closed in 1987. The community was applied for by French Creek TH, LP in 2018 and is approved for 310 townhomes plus a 240-unit apartment component; street names including Ore Street, Foundry Street, Smithworks Boulevard, and Anvil Court directly reference that industrial legacy. Multiple builders delivered the residential phases: Rockwell Custom built earlier townhomes along Smithworks Boulevard, while D.R. Horton is delivering the current phase with its Holley plan (2,135 sq ft, 3 bed/2.5 bath) at the 109 Smithworks Blvd sales center; the community also features an on-site dog park, a central green with pedestrian trail, and direct connection to the Schuylkill River Trail.
