INDEPENDENCE COURT HONORED WITH FOUR PHILADELPHIA BIA WILLIAM PENN AWARDS OF EXCELLENCE

Independence Court, an exciting new townhome community in Philadelphia’s vibrant Queen Village section, has been named the Best Townhome of the Year for 2006 by the Building Industry Association of Philadelphia (BIA).

And the accolades don’t stop there. Independence Court won a total of four William Penn Awards of Excellence at last month’s award ceremony, taking top prize in three additional categories including Best Architectural Design of the Year, Best Revitalization of the Year, and Best Website.

The Best Townhome and Best Architectural Design awards recognize Independence Court and its builder, Tropea Communities, for excellence in design, floor plan, and craftsmanship, found throughout the townhomes’ gracefully understated exteriors and thoroughly modern interiors, from the poured-concrete foundations and on-site post-and-steel-beam construction to the smallest finishing details.

In honoring Independence Court with the Best Revitalization award, the BIA acknowledges the role this elegant townhome community has played in reviving a historic section of Philadelphia. Just steps from the vibrant Penn’s Landing waterfront and across the street from scenic Old Swedes’ Church, Independence Court has been key to the renewal efforts in its Queen Village community, transforming the last industrialized block in Queen Village from a dilapidated eyesore to the jewel in the crown of this newly revitalized Philadelphia neighborhood.

The website for Independence Court, designed for Tropea Communities by Rhoads Creative, skillfully reflects the townhomes’ distinctive combination of historic sensibility and sleek modern design, perfectly capturing the unique living experience that this exquisite townhome community has to offer.
