D&F Realty may turn this building at 2463 Jefferson St. into apartments.
An old industrial building in Uptown Harrisburg may soon get a new lease on life.
At a Harrisburg City Council work session on Tuesday, local development group D&F Realty shared a proposal to transform a warehouse building at 2463 Jefferson St. into apartments.
The project would include 22 apartment units in total. They plan to create 18 units in the 12,622-square-foot main portion of the building. Those would all be one-bedroom units with the exception of one two-bedroom unit, explained David Peffley of D&F Realty. Additionally, there are already four existing units in an adjacent building on the property.
Peffley expects to charge around $800 to $900 per month in rent for both the one- and two-bedroom units.
D&F plans to “freshen up” the exterior of the building while keeping the industrial look. This would include replacing windows, painting and landscaping, they explained.
Included in the proposed plan is the construction of an off-street parking lot with 20 spaces.
In November 2021, D&F received Zoning Hearing Board approval for the building, permitting a multi-family dwelling use and offering parking relief, decreasing the number of required parking spaces from 26 to 20.
According to the Harrisburg Planning Bureau, additional on-street parking is available on Schuylkill and Jefferson streets.
D&F Realty purchased the building in July 2021 for $150,000. If council approves the project, they plan to begin construction as early as June and expect to finish it in about a year.
