The eight-story Lofts on Baum is set to break ground late summer at 5848 Baum Boulevard. Developed by Crossgates Realty, the loft-style condominiums are located within the core of Shadyside’s expansion into the Baum-Centre business corridor.
Crossgates offers one- and two-bedroom units--ranging from 1005 to 1517 square feet--designed to reflect an open, sophisticated approach to urban loft living with a convenient location to
Whole Foods,
Walgreens,
Home Depot, numerous restaurants and bus lines.
“The Lofts on Baum will be built for people to experience the neighborhood,” says Cliff Schultz, manager with Howard Hanna.
“The project has received great response and support from community based organizations.
The East Liberty Development group and the
Chamber provided a big booster,” remarks Arthur Schwotzer, chairman of the board of Crossgates, Inc.
Described as a “soft loft” style, units will feature granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and French balconies. Building amenities will include grilling areas, storage space, nine-foot ceilings, and enclosed parking.
Project architects are Pittsburgh-based
Perfido Weiskopf Wagstaff + Goettel. Meadeworth Interiors, located on Penn Circle West, will provide design expertise and furnishings.
An open house and tours of the Lofts on Baum model unit are offered in conjunction with the Howard Hanna sales center opening June 8 from 4 to 7 p.m. and June 10-11, from noon to 5 p.m.
