The acquisition of The View at Mackenzi, marks the firm’s second acquisition in York County.

Made up of a diverse mix of lively downtowns and sprawling farmland spread across the Susquehanna River Valley, York County is among one of Pennsylvania’s most dynamic regions. Home to a variety of well-known national brands such as Utz Quality Foods, Harley-Davidson, Starbucks, Snyder’s Lance, Voith Hydro, BAE Systems and Johnson Controls, York County has long been an integral piece of the state’s manufacturing fabric. Over the past several years, York has also sought to reinvent itself as a cultural and entertainment hub with a variety of shopping, dining, and living options found throughout the county. With a wide range of flexible living spaces, both The View at Mackenzi and The Reserve at Copper Chase provide residents with easy access to all that York County has to offer.
