Construction is expected to begin within the next week on a new apartment building in Steelton.
Steel Works Apartments will be located at the Steel Works complex, which is located from 102 to 230 N. Front St. The 60,000-square-foot building will include 46 apartments and 5,000 square feet of commercial space.
Construction is expected to be completed next summer.
The six-acre site will consist of four standalone buildings will consist of 150,000 square feet of residential, retail, and office space.
A Dollar General opened on the site in April. SeniorLIFE’s 15,000-square-foot facility is expected to be completed early next year. SeniorLIFE is relocating from 1910 Manada St. in Harrisburg. SeniorLIFE built its facility in Harrisburg just four years ago. But it is moving because of the future widening of Interstate 83 in that area. LIFE (Living Independence for the Elderly) programs provide home and community-based healthcare funded by Medicare and Medicaid for lower-income seniors. The LIFE program provides medical care and supportive services for people ages 55 years and older.
Jonathan Bowser, managing partner with Integrated Development Partners, the developer of the project, hopes to announce a medical tenant for the last lot by the end of the year.
Integrated Development Partners donated land to the borough of Steelton for what will be known as “The Brickyard at Emuel Powell Jr Park " a site for future gatherings, open space and an entertainment venue for the community to host community events and festivals. The company plans to commence the design and construction of the park in the spring. The park is named after the Emuel Powell Jr, 91, a long-time Steelton resident and activist, and Bowser’s grandfather.
Integrated Development Partners purchased the land in 2018 and broke ground on the complex last year, which is across the street from borough hall and in front of endless rows of old steel mills.
