New ‘Oasis’ Along the Route 228 Corridor

ADAMS TWP. — For months, thousands of motorists traveling the Route 228 corridor have watched Quincy Lofts rise from the ground, seeing the sprawling apartment community take shape from the road.

What they haven’t seen is what awaits on the other side of those buildings.

A resort-style swimming pool, outdoor gathering spaces, fire pit, pickleball court and landscaped courtyard sit at the center of the new 369-unit community — a space Property Manager Michele Washinski has a simple name for.

“This is our oasis,” Washinski said.

Now, residents are beginning to call it home.

Quincy Lofts has moved from construction project to residential community, with leasing underway and prospective residents now able to tour completed apartments and amenities.

“It’s incredibly exciting to reach this point,” Washinski said. “There’s been a tremendous amount of work behind the scenes to bring Quincy Lofts from a construction project to a place where people can actually call home.”

The community includes one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments with a variety of floor plans designed around different lifestyles. Some one-bedroom layouts include dens that can serve as home offices or study spaces, while apartments are equipped with Wi-Fi to accommodate residents who work from home.

Inside the apartments, residents will find quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, fully equipped kitchens, pantry storage and in-home

washers and dryers.

Washinski said the goal was to combine a contemporary design with features that make everyday living easier.

“The biggest difference is that everything is brand new and intentionally designed around the way people live today,” she said. “It combines a clean contemporary look with practical features that make everyday life easier.”

But much of the Quincy Lofts experience extends beyond the individual apartments.

The community’s amenities include a resort-style swimming pool with lounge seating, outdoor courtyard and fire pit, fitness center, pickleball court, clubroom and resident lounge, along with an outdoor pergola area with televisions. Residents also have access to EV charging stations, bike storage, package delivery options and an Amazon Hub.

Quincy Lofts is also pet-friendly, with a dedicated dog park planned and a grooming room where residents can bathe their dogs.

The outdoor courtyard, in particular, is intended to function as a gathering place. Along with the pool and fire pit, the area includes barbecue grills and multiple seating areas designed to give residents places to spend time outside their apartments.

That emphasis on community will also extend indoors.

Quincy Lofts plans monthly resident events designed to help neighbors meet one another, something Washinski said could be particularly valuable for residents moving into the Route 228 area from elsewhere.

Several of the community’s early residents have relocated from out of state, she said.

Events could include trivia nights, wine-and-cheese gatherings and Steelers watch parties, among other activities.

The clubroom also includes space that residents can rent for private events.

“It’s going to be a great place to meet new people and make new friends,” Washinski said.

A Community Along a Growing Corridor

Location is another part of the appeal.

Quincy Lofts sits in Adams Township with quick access to Route 228 and is close to Seven Fields and Cranberry Township, putting residents near restaurants, shopping, coffee shops, health care and other services.

Washinski believes the continuing growth along the Route 228 corridor will make the location increasingly attractive.

Residents, in turn, will become part of that growth.

“They’re going to shop locally, dine locally and become part of the community,” she said.

Quincy Lofts has already begun partnering with local businesses and is tentatively planning a grand opening for late September.

Washinski also has an invitation for people who have watched the project develop from Route 228 — including those who may have formed an opinion about Quincy Lofts without ever stepping onto the property.

Come see it.

“I would invite them to see it from the inside,” she said. “When it was first being built, maybe they couldn’t see the full picture, but I would love to show anybody, whether they’re looking to live here or not. If they’re part of the community, I welcome them.”

Leasing Now Underway

The days of hard-hat tours are over. Prospective residents can now tour completed models and, when available, the specific floor plan or apartment they are considering. Both in-person and virtual tours are offered.

Quincy Lofts is currently offering $1,500 off the first month’s rent for residents who move in by Oct. 15.

The leasing office is open seven days a week, and walk-ins are welcome. Prospective residents can view floor plans, pricing and additional information at QuincyLoftsLiving.com or contact the leasing office at 724-723-1942.

For Washinski, however, the best way to understand what has been created along Route 228 may be simply to walk through the doors.

From the road, Quincy Lofts looks like a large new apartment development.

From the courtyard, it looks considerably different.

It looks like an oasis.
