Is one Grandview definitely happening? If so I need to put it under developments on page one. I wasn't sure though.

It doesn't have financing as far as the public knows but it hasn't been cancelled either. Well again, as far as the public knows it hasn't been cancelled. I think there is a pretty good chance that something much smaller and grand happens on that Grandview ave site. You might as well hold off on putting that in the front page list of projects.

I don't understand why residential/hotel use here would be so risky. Yes, they would be condos and a hotel, but it's in a rather high-end/upscale part of town. Hotel use is in high demand as well. Plus, this being withinwalking distance from the Monongahela Incline, I wonder if there is any incentive (cash or otherwise) for contructing transit-oriented development. That would be good for at least some funding. |
I don't know if these have any plans/renderings released yet, but they are sizeable developments:

Good list of mid major projects there Wiz Khalifa. I really like the Lot 24 project. It converts an empty lot into residential near downtown and from the article posted above sounds like it will have some style. I'll bet they could have gone higher than 4 stories and 96 units and still had no problem filling them. I realize they are going for context here and weren't going to build too high, but still I wonder if the developer had concerns about the economy and unleased units. I get the impression that the price points for the units will be on the relatively high end of the market. I am interested myself but I think it will be too rich for my blood!
TBone7281, can we count on you for progress pics? |
I'll make it a point to walk back there occasionally. :yes:

Does anyone know what's going on with the old Holiday Inn off the Parkway East near Wilkinsburg/Edgewood? I saw a sign there a couple months ago for a sheriff's sale, but haven't seen anything about what is to happen to the building.

And then loopnet's auction listing from 9/2011 had it for $999,000. That's quite a price drop. Doesn't look like it sold though. LoopNet Linky |
Some more pictures of Lot 24 on the builder's website. I'm not blown away by the design but heck 96 units is pretty huge.

I haven't read the next few pages yet, so forgive any duplication. But there are several ways of creating a dry site during construction, and keeping the water out after. Parking garages deep under heavy groundwater are nothing new. It's a cost issue. As for keeping the water out during floods, the building perimeter plus an emergency watertight door system should be plenty. Alternatively, a small berm around the entire garage, with a ramp or two over it, would be a cheap option, though probably less secure. |

You can get to a pretty high residential density with these low-rise, block-filling apartment buildings. And of course all this will support retail and office developments nearby (including, I would suggest, the Lower Hill development area).
Edit: This should be the lot: http://g.co/maps/crzu4 |
Nice. That whole Doughboy Area is really filling in.
