Riverfront at Royersford LLC aims to build a four-story housing, retail and entertainment development along the riverfront in Royersford Borough. The mixed-use project would be on a nearly 25-acre former industrial site along the Schuylkill River in Royersford, where 188 apartments, a 25,000-square-foot entertainment venue, restaurant and bar, and nearly 25,000 square feet of retail space were first proposed in 2019. Royersford LLC recently received $335,000 in funding from the Multimodal Transportation Fund, according to state Rep. Joe Ciresi (D-146). The latest grant will pay for Phase II construction of an eight-foot-wide trail along the Schuylkill River in Royersford Borough and Limerick Township, accommodating both pedestrian and bicycle traffic. The Riverfront project has received more than $4 million in state funding, including $1.4 million over two years to restore the former railroad trestle and an additional $1 million for infrastructure and site preparation.
