Construction is set to start in February on new
lofts at 5848 Baum Boulevard in East Liberty. Developed by
Crossgates, the project is located near
Whole Foods
and
EastSide, within the core of Shadyside’s expansion into the
Baum-Centre corridor.
The eight-story project will feature 28 one- and two-bedroom units ranging from 1,005 to 1,517 square feet. A number of brand new features, including penthouses, a top-floor glass enclosed exercise facility and a 16-by-30-foot roof deck have been added to the project’s final design. Two 2,318-square-foot penthouses will feature three bedrooms, 3 1/2 bathrooms and covered terraces. The property will also feature a gated outdoor pet area.
“We have people interested from as far away as California,” says Brian Galley with
Howard Hanna, who has begun pre-sales. “A lot of people are coming back to the city from suburbs like Fox Chapel and Mt. Lebanon.”
Pittsburgh-based
Perfido Weiskopf Wagstaff + Goettel designed the building and Meadeworth Interiors, located on Penn Circle West, is the interior designer.
“There’s been real public demand for the one-bedroom units with Shadyside views.” Galley says this interest led to the creation of additional one-bedroom lofts that start at $209,000; penthouses start at $579,000. "Everything is with within walking distance," says Galley of the project's central East End location.
