Dream Now a Reality: Sewickley Residents Ready to Move In

"Here they come, and we can't wait!" The story echoed by those words began in December of 2000 as the marketing team at the Masonic Village at Sewickley began meeting people to talk about a dream.

That dream had its roots much earlier, but then, for the first time, future residents were able to see only floor plans and could peer out the window of a construction trailer at wooded acreage. Only a slight glimpse was visible of what would become the Masonic Village at Sewickley overlooking the Ohio River Valley.

According to Jeff Mohler, Marketing Manager at Sewickley, the dream will become reality on Mar. 17 when the first residents will move into their new apartment homes. Mary Jane Hyre, a Marketing Assistant, said, "Future residents show up at the model apartment almost every day with measuring tapes. They share stories about selling their homes and how they are packed and ready for the move." Some even have been so eager that they wanted to move into the model apartment right away.

People now can see the actual residences ­ the dream's reality that many could envision looking through that trailer window two Decembers ago. For many others who never had the chance to peer through the construction trailer window, it is important to see where they are going to live before committing to a move. "There is really nothing like this (Masonic Village at Sewickley) in Western Pennsylvania," said Marketing Counselor Carole Martacusa. "There is a whole new attitude about retirement community living and many more folks are taking advantage of the security and the wonderful lifestyle that it offers," she added.
