Pittsburgh Riverhounds Stadium

"The Pittsburgh Riverhounds of USL PRO announced today the construction of a $7.5 million stadium to serve as a home field for the franchise. The stadium will be constructed in Station Square, Pittsburgh’s preeminent mixed-use entertainment complex, with a completion date set for summer 2012. The stadium will operate year-round and host games and tournaments in soccer, football, lacrosse, rugby, and softball for youth, high school, college and pro teams, but will only have permanent field markings for soccer. It will also maintain the location as an outdoor venue for concerts and community events to replace an outdoor amphitheater that has operated on the site for years. The stadium will seat approximately 3,500 individuals on the south and east sides of the field. The north side of the field will remain open to the bike trail running parallel to the river as well as the City, which will create a breathtaking backdrop for the main event."

"One Grandview will occupy a prominent corner atop Mt. Washington, overlooking the City of Pittsburgh, and defining the eastern edge of Grandview Avenue. The product of extensive community input and neighborhood support, this project will be located on the site of the former Edge Restaurant and help to stimulate economic and community development on Mt.

-hoping to have the office and retail portions open by December 2013

Quote:
He said he already has lined up two tenants to take half the office space, but would not name either one. Millcraft also will be looking for "destination" type retail, as well as entertainment and restaurants, to fill the retail space.

What exactly is meant by "destination" retail? Could that wording be any more vague? What is that, Barnes & Noble Booksellers, Pier One Imorts, Bed Bath and Beyond, etc?

Regarding the dancing emoticon above, how about this for the latest Burgh development thread:



Also, this was in today's Post-gazette as well regarding the Tower at PNC:

http://www.postgazette.com/pg/11343/1195607-28.stm

Apparently this latest design will go before the city planning commission...

Plus, what are those interior pictures above? Is that the Fairmont Hotel and its lobby inside Three PNC Plaza? That looks stunning!

Why do you suppose that PNC is going to such pains to emphasize 'not dominating' ? To circumvent nimbyism ?

Destination retail tends to mean a unique location for a metro (one, not many locations)

Saks is a destination retail store (well not for much longer I guess)

I'm sure that they mean something smaller, like the chains that might occupy an upscale mall and or urban locations only.

Adding to themaguffin's commentary:

"Destination retail" is a common term in real estate. There are defined trade market areas for different types of retail. "Destination retail" draws shoppers from beyond traditional trade market boundaries. The IKEA in Robinson, for example, has long drawn shoppers from throughout PA, OH, and WV. That's a pretty extreme example... but REI, Saks, Container Store, Cabela's, etc. can all be considered destination retail.

A business district can be a "destination retail district"... people come from all over the Pittsburgh region to shop Shadyside's Walnut St. due to its concentration of upscale independent and chain retail. However, Carrick's Brownsville Road retail district is pretty much locally-serving.

Nobody's traveling for say... CVS, however. That is a type of retail that serves a very local population.

The Millcraft Gardens looks like a solid project. It will bring some nice density to downtown as well as replace some old and aging structures along with a surface lot with a new structure. It is going to fly under the radar a bit with the Tower at PNC Plaza going up very close and the ongoing discussions and bickering with what will happen on the old Civic Arena site. I think this project is worthy of having it's own thread. Any takers?

I doubt it will fly under the radar in tha high profile location. Plus the arena area isn't changing soon and PNC isn't going up for a while.

Well, we both have opinions, but even just look back at the last 20 pages in the old city discussion forum. There is much more discussion about the Tower at PNC Plaza and lower Hill District area than Millcraft Gardens. Also, demolition will be started on the PNC tower footprint before the Millcraft Gardens footprint. It is true that the central location will keep the Millcraft Gardens in the public eye once it gets rolling.
I have no idea how accurate that artist rendering of the Gardens is on Post-Gazette.com. However, considering that that is a fair representation of the buildings size and shape leads me to two observations; it is a very wide building and views of the new Tower at PNC Plaza from market square will be diminished before it is even finished.

Hmmph... such elitism. To think that Brownsville Rd in Carrick doesn't have the cachet of Walnut St. in Shadyside.

I was wondering that myself. I saw it quoted that way in more than one place. Kind of an interesting choice of words.

I don't get the impression at all that PNC is going out of it's way to call their new building "not dominating". I definitely don't think that the size of the building has anything to do with nimbies as questioned in a previous post. PNC has set a firm budget of $400 million and is sticking to it, at least for now. I think PNC does realize that there is some disappointment by the casual observer that the current proposal is roughly 7 floors shorter than the the very first and very preliminary renderings released to the public in May. Some PNC exec was quoted as using that term and is just saying in a creative way that the building won't be super tall. If you have seen this term many times, it is likely the original quote and/or article being reprinted and requoted.

I would like to see a Gardens thread in Highrise Proposals... as it appears to be tall enough. However, I don't recall ever seeing a height/floor count on this project.
