New Rostraver development taking shape

Since summer, a dozen excavators, backhoes, bulldozers, dump trucks and other heavy construction equipment have been altering landscape in the Concord area of Rostraver.

RWS Development/Shuster Homes is prepping a nearly 100-acre tract of property just off Route 51 to accommodate an upscale housing community similar to others that it has built elsewhere in Westmoreland County.

Its custom-designed homes range in price from $300,000 to $1 million, said Robert Shuster, owner of the North Huntingdon-based business.

Five lots have been sold — the first said to cost $80,000 — as the developer carves out holding ponds to manage water runoff, installs underground utilities and readies plots for the initial 17 of at least 120 single-family homes and possibly duplexes planned for what has been named Cedar Creek Estates.
