Project Update - May 19, 2025

Progress is accelerating at 800 South Queen Street! The concrete for the first and second floors is complete, and steel framing is in place to support the structure above. The team is actively drilling floor slabs for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing installations.Fireproofing is underway, with a protective cement-based coating being applied to the steel frame. Once fireproofing on the first floor is finished, exterior framing will begin and is expected to wrap up by early June.Interior first-floor framing is set to start in June, followed by the installation of second-floor wall panels later in the month. By early July, crews will also begin plumbing rough-ins on the first floor, install second-floor trusses, and start on the third-floor exterior walls.

Invest in the Heartbeat of Our Communities:
The OZFund Vision

Imagine a unique fusion where strategic investment meets genuine community transformation. Welcome to OZFund - a beacon for those seeking financial returns and lasting impact on the communities we cherish.

OZFund is a 'Qualified Opportunity Fund' (QOF), bridging private capital to dynamic community redevelopment. Our laser-focused mission? Reviving distressed properties nestled within Central Pennsylvania's ‘Opportunity Zones’ and the Mid-Atlantic regions. We don't just aim to build; we strive to transform – shaping spaces where America's working families can call home, and businesses can flourish.

Our journey has commenced on a resounding note with our flagship project in Lancaster's South Queen Street, an Opportunity Zone. We're carving a landmark with 52 meticulously designed apartments and a 6,700 sf Convenience/Grocery store.

Guiding our vision to reality is a respected, minority-owned multi-family builder, steering the ship as our project manager and construction specialist.

But Lancaster is merely the prelude to our grand symphony. With our eyes set firmly on the horizon, we've charted an ambitious course to launch ten transformative projects over the next decade. Each project is a step closer to reimagining and redefining the essence of community living across Central Pennsylvania and the Mid-Atlantic's heartland. With three more properties already earmarked for acquisition, our ambition scales beyond single projects. We're crafting a legacy.

This strategic diversity is our shield against unforeseen challenges, ensuring your investment is promising and robust.

But here's the clincher: OZFund isn't just an investment; it's a hedge against the tides of inflation. Our chosen markets have showcased rent surges that stand firm against inflation and overshadow it.

Dive into OZFund, where your investment is more than numbers. It's a story, a transformation, and a testament to the communities we rejuvenate. Please stand with us as we redefine landscapes, embark on a ten-fold journey, and etch a legacy of prosperity and growth.

Sustainability Concept

• The entire project will be designed with a commitment to environmental sustainability, and we will reduce unnecessary carbon emissions while maintaining the necessities to support a modern lifestyle.

• In addition to implementing state-of-the-art clean energy technology, redevelopment plans will include a community rooftop garden from which tenants can participate in a community-supported agriculture (CSA) program.

• At every project stage, these efforts require close cooperation of the Mayor and City Council, Lancaster City housing and community organizations, the design team, architects, engineers, and the community. The green building practice expands and complements the classical building design concerns of economy, utility, durability, and comfort.
