International Place is located in the historic business district of downtown Harrisburg. Five buildings were renovated and two vacant lots used to create the 30,000 square foot project that includes a 20,000 square foot expansion of adjacent International House, a 160-seat restaurant and culinary arts school, a bakery with takeout and outdoor seating and an upscale deli, also with outdoor seating. The new construction was carefully designed to blend in with the surrounding area. The project has made the corridor more lively and created over 50 jobs.
