Vartan Group, Inc. has a rich history of real estate investment and development in Harrisburg, PA.

Founded in 1975, we quickly blossomed into one of the Harrisburg area’s premier real estate companies.

The Vartan Group helped drive the revitalization of a capital city whose fortunes had ebbed in the wake of a generation of urban decline and the devastation of 1972’s Hurricane Agnes.

With large projects like the headquarters buildings for PSECU and PSERS, the Class “A” 30 N. Third Street, and others, we directed investment into the city of Harrisburg. Other significant urban projects in our history include: the PA Chamber of Business & Industry; Penn State’s Eastgate building; the 1-million square foot Forum Place; the Tuesday Club; and many more.

We were the catalyst for the establishment of the Widener University School of Law campus in Susquehanna Township. The late Mr. Vartan donated land, buildings, construction services, and other assistance to help launch the law program that continues to operate there to this day.

In 2004 we mourned the passing of our founder, John O. Vartan. Today this company, bearing his name, upholds its tradition of commitment to the future of the Capital area, with real estate projects that promote the social, environmental, and economic well-being of our community.
