Menaker Apartments in downtown Harrisburg hold grand opening
The Menaker Apartments developed by an affiliate of Harristown Enterprises and their investor partner, Select Capital Commercial Properties, has opened and will celebrate its grand opening and ribbon cutting Aug. 31 at 1:30pm at 17 S. 2nd Street on Market Square.
Menaker family member, Carol Menaker, will be present at the event to pay tribute to Mortimer Menaker, for whom the building was named in 1977. Historic Harrisburg Association will share some of the building’s rich history.
The 28 one- and two-bedroom art deco style apartments each include full-sized washer/dryer, stainless steel appliances and are pet friendly.
In addition, 2,000 square feet of restaurant/retail space is available on the first floor.
The Johnston Paper Company built the four-story office and commercial retail anchor in the City’s downtown in 1906 and added two additional floors in 1912.
The entire structure was renovated in 1977 and was renamed for Mortimer Menaker, then chairman of the Harrisburg Redevelopment Authority.
Purchased in 2018 by an affiliate of Harristown Enterprises, the structure has undergone a complete renovation, preserving the integrity of the historic exterior of the building.
