Palm Self-storage
The restoration of 103 Quaker Safety represents a thoughtful revitalization of Quakertown’s architectural heritage, transforming a historic brick building (originally constructed around 1850) into a boutique luxury apartment community. The developers, Village Centre Properties, preserved defining historic features, such as the original hardwood plank flooring and 12-foot ceilings with oversized windows, while introducing modern, tech-enabled amenities—stainless-steel kitchens, in-unit laundry, and even a video intercom system with facial-recognition entry. This adaptive reuse project not only preserves Quakertown’s historic fabric (part of its broader historic district) but also injects new life and housing vitality into the borough, blending the charm of the past with contemporary living.

Village Centre Office Suites
This building in Blooming Glen, PA, is a vivid example of historic restoration breathing new life into a small Pennsylvania village. Originally constructed in 1907 for the Uneek Havana Cigar Company, it was then home to a clothing factory and eventually hosted various light industrial uses until 2004 when it was purchased by Village Centre Properties and restored. Recognizing its historic value, the structure was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007. The historic restoration was completed in 2008, at which time it was converted into office suites and retail, preserving its original character while adapting it to modern use. Village Centre Properties sold the building in 2019.

Trolley Barn Public Market
The restoration of the Trolley Barn Public Market in Quakertown is a remarkable story of adaptive reuse and community revitalization. Originally built in 1897 as the maintenance barn for the Quakertown-Richlandtown Trolley line, the building sat dormant for decades after trolley service ended in 1929. Over the years it had served a variety of purposes – from a silent-film movie house called “The Broad,” to a bowling alley, a laundromat, and eventually an antiques emporium. In 2019, developers Chris LaBonge and Ian Jeffery spearheaded a $4+ million restoration project to bring new life to the structure as a year-round public market. The developers hired Village Centre Properties to acquire and manage a $2,000,000 grant as well as act as the Owner’s Representative to manage the design, bidding and construction. In addition, Village Centre Properties was instrumental in placing the building on the National Register of Historic Buildings. The renovated space, which officially opened around 2020–2021, now covers some 18,000 sq ft and houses over a dozen local vendors, including a brewery, winery, ramen shop and more.
