LeSean McCoy’s Harrisburg apartment plan gets green light

Paula Wolf//March 8, 2023

A firm headed by former Philadelphia Eagles running back LeSean McCoy got the go-ahead from Harrisburg City Council this week to develop a 48-unit apartment building in midtown Harrisburg.

The $8 million complex on the 1500 block of North Sixth Street, near the new Sylvia H. Rambo United States Federal Courthouse, will be known as the Savoy.

Harrisburg-based Vice Capital, the company led by McCoy, a Harrisburg native, plans to demolish three unoccupied buildings at 1522, 1524 and 1526 N. Sixth St. in late March. Two of them date from 1912.

The Savoy will be a four-story, 62,370-square-foot edifice that will include studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom units. Ten of the apartments will be set aside as affordable.

Steel Works Construction is the general contractor. Its president, Jonathan Bowser, said site work should start in mid- to late summer. The first floor of the Savoy will feature commercial space that could be office, a restaurant or retail, he added.

Construction will likely take a year to complete.
