Project Spotlight: Fernecrest Messiah Lifeways


Garman Builders is honored to partner with Benchmark Construction to bring Fernecrest to life—a new Messiah Lifeways community designed for adults 62+. Set on 85 picturesque acres along the iconic Yellow Breeches in New Cumberland, Fernecrest offers more than just a place to live, it’s a lifestyle. Residents will enjoy scenic walking trails, fishing and kayaking on the Yellow Breeches, and gathering with friends over craft drinks and modern American cuisine at the community’s on-campus restaurant and café.


In Phase 1, Garman will construct 75 single-family, duplex, and courtyard-style cottages, ranging from 1,200 to 2,500 square feet. Each home has been carefully curated and will be available in five distinctive floorplans, offering two-and three-bedroom layouts designed to meet the diverse needs of future residents.
