TLC owner Tarik Casteel, along with local officials and community members, cut the ribbon on “The TLC Cornerstone Renewal.”
On Friday, developer Tarik Casteel stood on a once-blighted Allison Hill block that’s in the midst of a radical transformation.
Casteel, owner of Harrisburg-based TLC Construction and Renovations, cut the ribbon on his new affordable housing development, a years-long project in the making.
“Today is a day for new beginnings, a day where we take a step forward in building something that goes beyond just bricks and mortar,” he said. “We are building hope, opportunity and a future for so many people.”
“The TLC Cornerstone Renewal” project, located near N. 15th and Walnut streets, features 50 one-, two- and three-bedroom units for lower-income residents. Several of the units are fully ADA-accessible and eight units are reserved for formerly incarcerated renters to assist them in re-entering society.
Casteel’s project is one of several affordable housing developments that have recently finished or are close to completion in Harrisburg.

Harrisburg City Council initially approved the project plan in 2020, however, the pandemic and construction costs delayed the groundbreaking until 2023.
Casteel also purchased the Allison Hill Community Center as part of his development in the neighborhood and plans to continue updates there.
“My aim is to transform this neighborhood one block at a time,” Casteel said.
He shared that he plans to complete additional phases of this project in the future.
“These homes are a wonderful addition to the city of Harrisburg as we understand and prioritize the fact that everyone deserves a comfortable, functional and safe place to live,” Mayor Wanda Williams said.
