Fig Origin Story: Charter Homes & Neighborhoods
Charter was established in 1990.
Planting the Seed
From a young age, Charter founder and president Rob Bowman remembers sketching elevations of his family’s homes. It was this early memory that inspired him to dream of a company that created homes and neighborhoods people truly love.
Rooted in Lancaster
As Charter grew in the homebuilding industry, the team turned their attention to the concept of placemaking. They began thinking about how to build homes and neighborhoods that honored the story of the land, saved important historical and natural features, and thoughtfully curated “the space between” where neighbors gather.
Tending New Growth
In many Charter neighborhoods, you’ll also find Crossroads, a collection of locally owned businesses along quaint tree-lined streets that serves as a gathering place. With seven specially designed neighborhoods across Central Pennsylvania and counting, they are excited to continue to evolve the way neighborhoods look and people live.
