For more than four decades, John Meeder and his companies—Meeder Development Corporation and Meedcor Realty—have been revitalizing Lancaster City and County. By breathing new life into historic and often neglected properties, Meeder has helped shape entire blocks of downtown Lancaster into thriving, vibrant spaces.

Our approach blends historic preservation tax credits, grants, loans, and strategic partnerships to make complex projects possible. With strong relationships among lenders, investors, contractors, and community partners, we bring together the right resources to move projects forward.

Every development requires creativity, collaboration, and integrity. With tenacity and vision, we’ve completed numerous landmark projects in Lancaster, helping preserve its history while building its future.

Meedcor Realty provides the marketing and management expertise that drives our real estate ventures. Successful projects require strong cash flow to secure financing, repay debt, and deliver a return on investment. This revenue is generated through property sales, leasing, and long-term management.

With a proven ability to define—and often create—the market for projects, Meedcor Realty has consistently filled spaces and built lasting value.

Drawing on deep market knowledge and data-driven projections, we give lenders and investors the confidence needed to move forward with complex revitalization projects. Beyond development, Meedcor Realty also offers full-service real estate brokerage for both commercial and residential properties, with a special focus on downtown Lancaster.

John Meeder, through Meeder Development Corporation and Meedcor Realty, has been revitalizing Lancaster City and County for over 34 years. With a focus on historic and neglected properties, his creative and collaborative approach has transformed major blocks of downtown Lancaster.
