Location.
I believe this is in conjunction with the NRG power/chilled water plant that is to be integrated with UPMC Mercy and the Pens development.
Not sure how successful "mixed-use" will be, considering it's in a back alley of uptown, but sure. The law office on the corner has been trying to sell that place since before the arena went up, and the price seems to come down every year. It's not a bad location, just shoe-horned into a weird spot.

We already posted about this upthread. Technically this site is in Crawford-Roberts, not Uptown, as Fifth Avenue is the border.
One thing I find interesting about the project is it's one of the few mixed-income developments I think you would potentially get a pretty wide mix of renters. I'm still scratching my head at the ground floor retail idea, which is much more appropriate for a location right on Fifth.
