Christened Vista Ridge, the community will be at Ware Presbyterian Village in Oxford.

The first phase is scheduled to be completed in late fall 2013. It will include a 31-unit independent-living apartment building, community and dining pavilion, and all associated site work and infrastructure to accommodate future phases of apartments and cottages.

The units in the independent-living apartment building will feature a variety of floor plans ranging from 1,073-square-foot one-bedrooms to 1,745-square-foot two-bedrooms, according to a news release from Benchmark. All will have internal access to secured lower-level parking, covered balconies and a geothermal HVAC system.

Architectural Concepts LLP, which designed the project, is based in Exton, and Benchmark is based in West Earl Township, Lancaster County.
