Williams Holding Group to develop two-story office in Lower Paxton

Williams Holding Group, a development company owned by brothers Paul and Andrew Williams of Susquehanna Township-based A.P. Williams Inc., today announced plans to build a two-story office building in Lower Paxton Township.

The company last month acquired about 3.4 acres on Sir Thomas Court in Olde English Gap Professional Park. The cost of the site was $440,000, according to Dauphin County deed records.

A land development plan has been approved for the building, which would be about 31,200 square feet, according to Bobbie Van Buskirk, director of business development.

The company is hoping to secure a medical user, maybe two, to occupy the facility. The goal would be to start construction in the spring, she said, with work expected to take about six months to compete.

A.P. Williams, a general construction and construction management company, would erect the building. The basic shell is estimated to cost $3.7 million, Van Buskirk said.

"Our approach is simple," Paul Williams said in a statement. "By completing the building shell designs and obtaining final land development approvals, we are able to eliminate the uncertainties inherent to the land planning process. We have had success with this development approach in the past."

The company also can control the schedule and the costs.

The brothers also own Mainline Excavating.
