The Commercial market demand post-Covid has been slow to return to Pittsburgh, however residential demand in the Strip District has been strong.  The development team is assessing the feasibility of a mixed-use product including a parking structure, ground floor retail, commercial floors, and a residential tower. The team is also monitoring the commercial and residential markets and evaluating selling the property as a build-ready empty lot.​

Although in early stages of their due diligence, an investment fund representing Hard Rock Hotels & Resorts has expressed significant interest in this property as the development team continues to work through refining mixed-use massings to achieve optimal investment returns.

Substantial sitework took place to raise the lot above waterfront flood zone elevations including site retaining walls, piles and structural slab on pile caps.​

The building consisted of a steel structure with a first-floor masonry façade and Kingspan insulated exterior panels above.​
