Tuscany
Benjamin Marcus Homes Develops Unique Vision
at Tuscany in Peters Township
W
hen Mark Hoskins went into the construction business
in 1979 under the name Hoskins Construction, his
primary goal was to bring his personal philosophy to the
land he developed. Today, more than 34 years later, and with over a
dozen landmark communities under his belt, Hoskins is still building
as Benjamin Marcus Homes, and continues to create communities that
homeowners love and take pride in.
“All of our design work starts in-house,” Hoskins said. “It’s a family
business, with some big-name developments under our belt. We
created Windermere and the Hamlet of Springdale. We have built in
Nevillewood, Springfield, Stonehenge, Old Trails, Cider Lands and
Country Brook. These are all local developments that people know
and love.”
Currently underway with Benjamin Marcus Homes in Peters
Township is Tuscany, a revolutionary, 56-acre development that’s the
only one of its kind in the region. “It’s true estate living,” said Hoskins.
“The smallest lot is one acre, the largest is 7.4 acres and most of the lots
are in the two to three-acre range.” Home prices range from $1,000,000
to $4,000,000. With only nine lots remaining, Tuscany is fast becoming a
sign of what homeowners desire in Peters Township.
“All of the houses are custom built, but the lots are what is driving
Tuscany, with acres of property to work with,” Hoskins said. “Several of
the lots share a pond with their own private place for a dock or a pier.
Many of the lots have room for accessory buildings like mother-in-law
units. The sky really is the limit, and there’s nothing else like this in the
South Hills of Pittsburgh. We’ll get the homeowners’ ideas and satisfy
their needs, all while keeping a certain feel to the entire neighborhood.
Our motto is: ‘Your home will never be your neighbors’ home,’ and
we stand by that – the homes won’t look the same because they’re
custom, but they also won’t look like they’re from two entirely different
developments either. There are a lot of combinations of brick and
stonework that allow us to vary the designs.”
The development’s favorable location is a positive feature for those
who want to build in Peters Township. It’s tucked away from all the
high-traffic areas, yet still convenient to all of the township’s amenities,

like the recreation center, shopping areas and nearby highway access
points. Benjamin Marcus Homes has also planned for details within the
development, such as natural traffic-calming techniques, a minimum
of two street trees on every lot, and a homeowners association run
by a qualified management company so residents can focus on being
neighbors, rather than policing maintenance issues.
“When you look at the land there, it really is a beautiful countrylike setting resembling the rolling hills of Tuscany, Italy,” Hoskins said.
“Again, our focus is to keep as many trees as possible and keep the
entrance grand. Tuscany will have a 200-foot-wide entrance with a
fountain in the middle, trees on the total perimeter of the property and
will be surrounded by a cedar fence.”
Benjamin Marcus Homes has received numerous awards from
the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), has earned
the Residential Development of the Year Award twice and has been
recognized three times for a best-in-class award for home building
and design.
