Property Description

The Subject Property is a two-story 7,630 SF retail bank branch located in the heart of the Halifax Business District at the northeast corner of North 3rd Street and Market Street. Property consists of two lots totaling .5 acres, the main building and parking lot adjacent to the main entrance on 3rd Street. The property's parcels account for two of the corner lots on 3rd Street & Strawberry Alley which is easily accessible from 4th Street (PA-147) and Armstrong Valley Road (PA-225) which are the primary routes to access the Borough. This property is one of the most recognizable and well known buildings in Northern Dauphin County and is a staple to the community. The Borough of Halifax is a riverfront community along the Susquehanna River in Dauphin County, which is also home to Harrisburg, the State's Capital. Originally established in 1871, Halifax National Bank has been a long-standing pillar of the community and was officially acquired by Riverview national Bank in 2009. Halifax National Bank originally was located across the street and moved to the Subject Property when it was built in 1912. The current building has expanded and been renovated many times through the years. Zoning for the main branch and parking lot parcel is mixed-use 1 (MU-1). This zoning is applied to the primary business center of Halifax Borough. The area currently accommodates a variety of housing types and usages with some opportunities for live-work, retail, offices, light service, restaurants and cafes. The intent of the MU-1 zone is to increase pedestrian-oriented development through this area by allowing the most nonresidential use growth at an urban scale. The current aesthetic qualities of the zone are to be maintained through restoration, rehabilitation, and context-sensitive infill.
