Landis Place on King is an innovative project in the heart of Lancaster City. It is a mixed-use building with 79 apartments, 41 interior parking spaces, and commercial space. It is located at 239 West King Street. Landis Place on King was born out of a desire to create abundant choices, foster increased community, and provide middle market and lower income housing for adults age 55+. The diverse and flourishing downtown neighborhood of West King Street has embraced our vision for an inclusive community housing option. Adding a community like this is another step in keeping the Central Business District vibrant and growing. https://www.landisplace.org/ Landis Place on King is one part of Landis Communities who provides Comforting Live-at-Home Services and Feel-at-Home Communities® https://www.landiscommunities.org/

HCC is honored to have been involved with this project and we look forward to continuing our relationship with Landis Communities. Partnerships such as this allow us to further our mission of building better communities, together.

Out of the office and onto the carousel! With ice cream, roller coasters and laughs, we had a blast bonding with our coworkers at Hershey Park in July.

There is nothing like spending an afternoon eating ice cream and racing go-karts around the office building! In June, we celebrated our team's hard work with Coworker Appreciation Day. With beautiful weather and delicious food, this Mario Kart themed event was a great way to get out of the office and spend time together.

On June 16, we had the pleasure of attending the Blessing Ceremony at the newly finished Landis Place on King apartment building in downtown Lancaster. This building will house adults 55 and over, complete with 79 apartments, 41 interior parking spaces and a commercial space.
