St. John Properties<\/strong> plans to redevelop a 1 million-square-foot mall in Dauphin County, Pa., into a mixed-use commercial business hub. The Harrisburg Mall will undergo a demolition and development program, turning it into the Swatara Exchange.<\/p>\n

The Swatara Exchange will feature single-story commercial space across 12 new buildings, including two new retail pad sites.<\/p>\n

Plans call for the development of 13,600 square feet of office space and approximately 200,000 square feet of mixed-use flexible space. The flexible space will be built for both office and industrial users in single-story buildings, customizable depending on tenant requirements.<\/p>\n

Almost 50,000 square feet of inline retail space and retail pad sites will be included in the Swatara Exchange.<\/p>\n

Situated in the Swatara Township, the property is located off of the Interstate 83 interchange, providing easy distribution access throughout Pennsylvania. Downtown Harrisburg is 3 miles from the project with additional retail, dining and entertainment options. The Harrisburg International Airport is some 8 miles away. Philadelphia is approximately 100 miles east of the Swatara Exchange.<\/p>\n

St. John Properties originally acquired the Harrisburg Mall in 2012. According to CommercialEdge data, the 60-acre property was purchased for $9.5 million. At the time, it was anchored by Macy\u2019s, Bass Pro Shops and Great Escape Theatre. Following the acquisition, St. John Properties invested $1 million into renovations and upgrades.<\/p>\n

As part of the redevelopment, the existing Harrisburg Mall structures will be demolished starting in March of next year, followed by a mass grading anticipated to complete by late 2025. The first phase of construction will likely continue from the fall of 2025 into the fall of 2026.<\/p>\n

Upon completion, the project will total some 550,000 square feet of space and support approximately 1,000 new jobs.<\/p>\n

Building specifics<\/h2>\n

According to the proposed Swatara Exchange site plan, four flexible buildings will be completed at the southern end of the site. Seven retail buildings will also be developed, alongside a single-story office space.<\/p>\n

Flexible building square-footage specifics include: Flexible Building C at 44,160 square feet; Flexible Building E at 47,160 square feet; Flexible Building B at 48,120 square feet; Flexible Building D at 56,160 square feet.<\/p>\n

The mixed-use additional spaces constructed will feature 16-foot to 18-foot ceiling heights, 80-foot to 100-foot building depths, 30-foot-wide bays, rear service courts and parking. There will also be an amenity pavilion with seating. Upon completion, the project can accommodate wholesale, manufacturing, research, medical, distribution or education companies.<\/p>\n

Retail space square-footage specifications include: Retail A1 at 9,465 square feet; Retail A2 at 9,465 square feet; Retail G at 10,765 square feet; Retail F at 10,765 square feet; Retail H at 8,165 square feet; Restaurant at 3,198 square feet; C-Store at 6,049 square feet.<\/p>\n

The retail pad sites can accommodate restaurants, medical providers, convenience stores, financial companies and daily consumer product facing companies.<\/p>\n

A single-story office building will also be developed, totaling 13,600 square feet.<\/p>\n

The existing Bass Pro Shops building, totaling 219,269 square feet, Applebee\u2019s totaling 7,079 square feet and former Toys-R-Us building totaling 56,349 square feet will all be retained. The existing Toys-R-Us building will be converted into a new use.<\/p>\n

St. John Properties has also recently purchased an 82-acre site in Waldorf, Md., with plans to develop an approximately 635,000-square-foot mixed-use business campus<\/a>. Berry Pointe will similarly consist of 12 buildings totaling 550,000 square feet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
