An apartment project near the new federal building in Harrisburg will move forward as it received the final green light from the city.
Harrisburg City Council on Tuesday approved a land development plan for the Savoy, 48-unit apartment building proposed for the 1500-block of N. 6th Street.
Harrisburg-based Vice Capital, a firm headed by retired NFL running back LeSean McCoy, plans to demolish three existing buildings at 1522, 1524 and 1526 N. 6th St. in late March.
On the property, which includes several adjoining grassy lots, developers plan to construct a four-story, 62,370-square-foot building that will include a mix of studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom units. Ten of the units will be designated as affordable. It will also include first-floor commercial space.
Construction for the $8 million project is expected to begin in mid-to-late summer and will likely take a year to complete, according to Jonathan Bowser, managing partner of Wormleysburg-based Integrated Development Partners, the project’s general contractor.
In other news, council voted to appoint Dr. Kent Hurst to serve on the city’s Historical Architectural Review Board. He will serve a three-year term beginning this month.
