Flames were spotted at the Steelpointe townhome community on Smithworks Boulevard in Phoenixville just before 1:30 p.m., the borough fire department said in a Facebook post.
Authorities said the blaze was contained to a house still under construction, but that the building had a sprinkler system installed and activated at the time of the fire.
First responders arrived to see thick smoke pouring from the three-story townhouse, according to the statement.
