More housing options at Market Square...

Today we feature Pittsburgh History & Landmarks Foundation's residential offering:

Market at Fifth

This is one of the first projects in the country to achieve GOLD LEED certification while also restoring in accordance with federal historic standards.

Made up of three adjacent historic buildings, there are seven light-filled apartments.  Options range from 880 to 1,070 sq. feet with rents between $1,350 and $2,200 per month.

Some of the features you'll find:

• 15-foot ceilings with floor-to-ceiling windows in many units
• bamboo flooring and granite countertops
• two of the units have a private roof deck

Some of the green features in this GOLD LEED building:

• Ability to purchase "green power" from utility companies
• A minimum of 75% construction waste diverted from landfill by sorting and recycling
• Vegetative roof to reduce heat absorption and reduce rainwater runoff
• Low VOC (volatile organic compounds) paints, sealants and carpets
• Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified wood products from managed forests

Four of the units are already reserved so check them out now if you're interested!  To get a fact sheet or arrange a tour, contact Michael Sriprasert at 412-471-5808 or michael@phlf.org.  Move in is anticipated for this October.

Wake up every morning in the Heart of Downtown

With all the great changes in Market Square (the renovation of the plaza, the new restaurants and businesses...) why not become a part of the new Square in one of the new housing options!


All this week, we'll be introducing you to the living options right around the Square.  With short commutes, exciting views, cultural attractions, trails, parks, rivers and all your basic comforts in walking distance, why not join the other 2,000 people that already call Downtown home!*

In a bold and exciting reuse, Millcraft Industries is turning the former G.C. Murphy building and a few adjacent properties on 5th Avenue into a fantastic mixed-use space including retail, the Downtown YMCA and 50 loft-style apartments. 

From 700 sq. foot studios to 2,000 sq. foot penthouses, with rents ranging from $800/month to $2,500/month.

A sample of what you'll find:

• open floor plan with large windows
• exposed bricks and beams that date back to the turn of the century
• your own parking spot within the building
• modern, efficient kitchen with Energy Star appliances (including washer/dryer in each unit)
• common area rooftop courtyard that can be used for entertaining, cooking out, sunbathing, or just chilling out
• and my favorite feature - pocket doors! (1. They save space in an urban apartment   2. Who else do you know with working pocket doors?!)

Check out their website for more details.  They are now accepting online applications:
