As historic architecture has been revitalized over the past decade, the Zamagias team began investing in properties located in downtown Lancaster City in 2010. “We saw all of the potential Lancaster City had and that momentum has only gotten stronger. The entrepreneurial culture and historical architecture along with walkability of the downtown makes it a very unique place,” said David Martens, President of Zamagias Properties.
