Steeple View Lofts, located on North Water Street in Lancaster, marked 10 years of providing rental housing for people age 55 and up with a celebration bringing together residents, neighboring businesses, and others from the community.

Landis Communities president and CEO Larry Zook welcomed and thanked attendees. He shared that Steeple View Lofts came about as the result of feedback received in 2008 from stakeholders who expressed an interest in living downtown.

Marshall Snively, president of Lancaster City Alliance, noted the importance of having a multigenerational downtown and how the whole block is benefiting from the investment made in Steeple View Lofts. Attendees also heard from Dawn Watro, one of those who has resided at Steeple View Lofts the longest.

Evon Bergey, vice president of operations and COO at Landis Communities, brought the event to a close, pointing out that Steeple View Lofts has led to a larger investment by Landis Communities in the downtown core, with Landis Place on King set to open soon. Both Steeple View Lofts and Landis Place on King are operated by Landis Quality Living, whose mission is to provide housing with services for adults to age in place and thrive in community.
