800 South Queen Street – Project Update November 20, 2024

OZFund’s flagship project at 800 South Queen Street in Lancaster is moving quickly to reshape the landscape at this abandoned property site and enrich lives in this community. This project will be completed in the 2 nd quarter of 2025, with 52 beautifully design apartment units and a healthy grocery store on the first floor. Each apartment will feature a built-in washer/dryer and high-speed internet accessibility. Additionally, the residents will enjoy a roof-top garden space, community room, security monitoring, and free on-site parking.

At a progress update in November 2024, the construction team reports that the two stair towers that will be located at each end of the finished building are in place. Additionally, the elevator shaft that will be at the center of the building is finished. Work on the last stair tower that will be adjacent to the elevator shaft will be completed over the next two weeks.

The plumbing that will be located under the concrete slab foundation is being installed, including installation of water, sewage, and drainage piping. Following this installation, the underslab work will be completed and should finish by mid-December, allowing for the concrete slab to be poured and cured.

Once the building slab is in place, steel will begin arriving on site and erection of the first floor will begin. The South Queen Street neighborhood should be seeing the building start to take shape in January 2025.

Our vision for this project is to create affordable, safe homes that enhance lives and are environmentally sustainable. The project incorporates state-of-the-art clean energy technologies into the design. We are working in close cooperation with the Mayor and City Council, Lancaster City housing, and community organizations to ensure that specific needs are met with this new construction. Our ultimate goal is to leave this neighborhood a legacy for the future.
