I shared that on my Facebook page. When I first saw these renderings I thought they were from one of my connections who is a landscape architect/planner in Montgomery County. He would share some news and insights on outside-the-box urban planning and development around the world. Lo and behold, it was a PG article illustrating such a development for CHATEAU. A development like this will surely transform the Chateau neighborhood - or at least this section of it - from a run-down old industrial site into a destination for the city and surrounding region!
Given that this is Millcraft, I have a great deal of faith that this will pan out. They transformed the Fifth-Forbes corridor 10 years ago. It's too bad the late Bob O'Connor left us when he did. I think he'd be happy with where Pittsburgh is going. A 200-ft ferris wheel AND a man-made beach/lagoon? YES PLEASE!
I wonder who will run the hotel. I'm thinking it's going to be something high-end or full service given the scope of the development.
