Environmental Aspects
Project highlights include renovation of two floors of an existing 100-year old brick high rise in Pittsburgh's Cultural District. The project re-used the existing shell, took advantage of the ready access to public transportation, included no new parking, and provided views in 75% of occupied spaces. It also re-used and upgraded the existing elevator shaft to meet current building codes without expanding the development footprint or adding new building shell.
