HISTORIC AND MODERN LIVING BLEND
IN INDEPENDENCE COURT AT QUEEN VILLAGE

PHILADELPHIA, PA – May 3, 2004 – The city blocks between Christian, Queen, and Swanson Streets are finding new life as a community of semi-custom townhomes in Philadelphia’s richly historic Queen Village. Community builder and Pyramid Award-winner, Fred Tropea of Tropea Communities said, “We are so excited about this project. It’s not just a community; it’s a whole city block which, in Philadelphia, that’s considered a neighborhood."

Joseph Ruggiero, Developer of Independence Court at Queen Village, said. "An outstanding team of professionals is working on this project and is the premier development in the area. Independence Court is one of the largest communities in the city."

With four models to choose from, Independence Court at Queen Village will offer a unique blend of historic charm and modern convenience. These 50 luxury home sites are priced starting in the $500s. Pre-construction pricing won’t last long!

Ranging from 2,700 to 3,000 square feet of opulent living space, a variety of upscale amenities define the three-bedroom, three full- and one-half bath layouts of Independence Court. Custom gourmet kitchens with granite countertops feature a breakfast room with double door access to a wrought-iron veranda. The master suite boasts a custom bath with garden tub and large outside deck. Other standard details include custom trim packages in the living room and hardwood flooring in kitchen, dining room, living room, breakfast room, powder room and foyer.

All four models at Independence Court feature finished “bonus room” basements and one- or two-car garages.

With its prime location and easy access to Delaware Avenue and Interstate 95, interest is high in this exciting new townhome project by Tropea Communities where Phase I of construction is scheduled to begin soon. As Philadelphia’s oldest neighborhood, Queen Village draws on a rich history. Residents and visitors enjoy charming shops, eclectic boutiques, fine dining and historic architecture and landmarks. Queen Village is within walking distance of Independence Hall, Penn’s Landing and the Italian Market and is only a short bus ride away from Center City.
