The project adds a new four-story apartment building with 40 units and a partial basement at the rear of the site at 1510 W Allegheny Ave. The county describes it as fully sprinklered. Local coverage says the new building is about 28,000 square feet and designed to sit behind an existing four-story apartment building with 46 units. Together the site would have 93 units, according to that coverage.
The plans include 18 off-street car spaces and 14 bicycle spaces, with vehicles entering from West Allegheny Avenue. The cost is estimated at about $3 million. The site is on a lot of about 32,000 square feet in residential zoning districts.
The developer has not been publicly identified in the coverage found, and no opposition was reported. No construction timeline has been disclosed.
What it could mean nearby
- Adds 40 homes to a neighborhood that already has an existing 46-unit building on the same site.
- Vehicles would enter from West Allegheny Avenue, with 18 parking spaces behind the existing building, which could add some traffic to that street.
- Parking is limited compared with the number of units, so some residents may park on nearby streets.
Where it stands
Building permits have been issued, so the project has cleared city review and can move to construction. Next steps are usually construction start and city inspections.
