A 47,000 square-foot property located at 4035 Liberty Avenue in Bloomfield is currently being developed as new condominium and office space. Formerly a Roth Carpet showroom, the building will feature a two-story, 16,000 square-feet office property and a four-story, 26,000 square-foot space for up to 15 new condos. The building will be full accessible and feature indoor parking.
“We will do a green building, and it will have roof gardens and patios,” says Light, who adds that they are working with Pittsburgh-based
Artemis for green building products and they are considering LEED certification.
Developer/contractor Harvey Light envisions medical tenants for the leased space, an addition he feels will complement
UPMC’s recent expansion into the Bloomfield area.
“Children’s Hospital is here and that is really driving the neighborhood,” adds Light, a Squirrel Hill resident, who also owns the Drake-Liberty Building and property in Oakland.
“As much as two billion dollars could be invested in Bloomfield, primarily by UMPC,” says Randy Strothman of the
Bloomfield Business Association. “We have sixteen projects, some in the recent past, some present and some in the future. This is an epicenter of change,” he adds.
