The Atlas Building

Welcome to the Atlas—a visionary mixed-use project connecting uptown and Midtown Harrisburg and changing the face of the city’s northern gateway. Historically a building that housed numerous organizations dedicated to improving lives, the revitalized building will be a community anchor in an area that is underserved by grocery and other retail uses, as well as a creative office space where entrepreneurs can launch their dream projects. Adam Maust, owner of a creative and marketing agency called A Mighty Group located in Harrisburg, purchased the long dormant building in 2020 from Philadelphia Suburban Development Corp., which had owned the property since 2004 and allowed it to go to seed. Before that, the building had a storied history — if not as many stories as originally planned (pun intended). Originally designed in 1923 to stand 15 stories, the building was completed at just two stories in 1932. Harrisburg’s prominent Hudson family bought the building in 1979 when Tri-County Opportunities Industrialization Center (OIC) moved in. Other small businesses filled offices until the late 1990s. Since then, it’s been an empty possibility. The Witmer Group’s masonry, restoration, and waterproofing teams played a vital role in the renovation process. They provided various services, including cleaning and coating steel lintels, repairing exposed reinforcing steel, resetting damaged precast and brick, and repointing. Additionally, they installed new CMU and brick veneer, modified the garage/loading dock door, and installed new precast sills and angle iron lintels. Furthermore, the team also executed waterproofing and air vapor barrier membranes at CMU infills, windows, doors, louvers, and more. The vision of the Atlas is to serve as a hub of economic and cultural resources for a community that has lacked them for far too long, and as a bridge that will connect the Uptown and Midtown neighborhoods of Harrisburg for the mutual benefit of both–creating outstanding retail and office opportunities for businesses who want to make their mark in a community on the rise.
