Looks like the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership had a DAM meeting last week where a mid-sized apartment conversion project for the Cultural District was discussed. The Desmone project would convert 933 Penn Avenue from its current use (charter school offices on the lower floors, vacant above) into a 63-unit residential building with ground-floor commercial. Desmone would also remove the ugly-ass, metal skin across the front, replacing it with "glazed brick." I don't know what this will end up like (I don't have high hopes, given the developer) but anything would be a trade up for the ugliest building in the Cultural District by a country mile.

Also, it looks like Pennrose is working towards RCAP grant to convert the long-shuttered Divine Providence Hospital on the North Side into affordable housing. The project is still in its infancy, but Pennrose estimates there will be 128 units.
