Riverside Mews and Windom Hill Place—two of Pittsburgh’s innovative green living developments—have debuted a new model unit and kicked-off second phases of construction. The 2,300-square-foot Energy Star-compliant model, now available for $480,331, features a contemporary design, espresso finishes and quartz countertops.
At Riverside Mews—the South Side’s largest green residential community—work has started on six new town homes. Ranging in size from 1,800 to 2,900 square feet, the three-story units will be priced between $415,000 and $530,000. Designed by
Perkins Eastman and
Strada, the 48-unit project is located at 18th St. and Riverfront Park.
Since its grand opening in Nov. 2007, seven of Riverside’s first eight units have sold. Built according to Energy Star standards, Riverside features FSC-certified wood, Greenguard flooring materials and significant energy saving systems. “They all have small yards, which is great for the city,” says Kathryn Barry, with Prudential Preferred Realty, who expects occupancy to start in March 2009. “Things are looking good for Pittsburgh.” One new unit, which features a fourth floor, has pre-sold for $580,000.
Construction on Windom’s four new units, priced at $745,000 and located above McArdle Roadway, will begin after the first unit is sold. Windom’s award-winning Craftsman-style town homes were designed by John Martine of Strada. The 3,000-square-foot units feature three bedrooms, four levels of outdoor space, and earth friendly bamboo, cork and cast stone interiors.
“We have people relocating to Pittsburgh from other states,” adds Barry, who’s been featured on HGTV's
My House is Worth What? “There’s still mortgage money out there.” Contractor for both projects is Sota Construction Services.
