Our History
Allen Property Corporation began long before it carried its name.
The company’s origins date back to Whipple-Allen Construction — a family-owned business known for craftsmanship, accountability, and pride in its work. That foundation established a belief that still guides the organization today: Build it correctly and care for it well.
In 1997, that philosophy expanded into assisted living through LifeServices Management Corporation, where a resident-directed model shaped everything from design to day-to-day decisions. The values at the center of that work — independence, privacy, dignity, and choice — defined how communities operated and how people experienced care.
Over the following two decades, Allen Property grew to nine assisted living communities across Pennsylvania and Ohio, serving more than 500 residents and supporting more than 450 caregivers.
In 2022, those communities transitioned to new ownership, ensuring continuity for residents while allowing Allen Property to focus fully on long-term real estate ownership, stewardship, and development.
Today, the philosophy remains the same: We invest with care, maintain with intention, and make long-term decisions.
