MILLING THE POSSIBILITIES In January investment group Cape Augusta LLC purchased the 22-acre historic King Mill from the Augusta Canal Authority for $3 million to renovate the textile plant into a mixed-use commercial building with 300 apartment units. Cape Augusta in 2017 turned a portion of the nearby Sibley Mill into Augusta Cyberworks, a high-tech office complex whose tenants include IT firm EDTS LLC and the University of Baltimore – Maryland Campus Cyberworks University program. The third historic mill along the Augusta Canal, the Enterprise, was converted into a mixed use office and apartment building in 1998. The adjacent Sutherland Mill, which was primarily used as a warehouse, has been renovated into office space. they receive from donors are either vacant or dilapidated to the point they are no longer habitable. “We are just taking what is already there and making it better,” she said. “We haven’t moved anybody.” She said Harrisburg’s biggest problem is “bad landlords.” “We don’t want people who are only going to come around every two weeks and collect cash and do nothing to the homes,” she said. The group makes every attempt to purchase homes that fit into its strategy, but it has to pass on homes whose owners seek unreasonable prices. “We can’t pay a ton of money just because it fits into our mission,” she said. “That can be tough for people to understand - that we’re not flippers.” The group was formed to revitalize Harrisburg because the neighborhood is the primary east-west corridor into downtown and the medical district. The neighborhood was founded as a village in late 18th century and grew into a first-ring suburb in the 19th century. A section of the neighborhood, also known as the West End Historic District, was destroyed in the 1980s by the construction of the Calhoun Expressway. Given its geographic location, Harrisburg is poised for resurgence, Dallas said. “That’s the thing: You have high-end housing on one side, downtown on the other and the university and the medical district right next to it,” she said. “This area will thrive again. We just got to get to work on these houses.” • King Hill 42 u <strong>1736</strong>magazine.com Lauren Dallas
