Residential Living Complexes New Developments
There's plenty developing Downtown. Plans are coming to fruition and they will change the city's landscape for the better.
One of the PDP's newest housing initiatives, The Vacant Upper Floor Loan Fund, is intended to stimulate the economic revitalization of downtown Pittsburgh by creating the opportunity for downtown housing among the buildings with vacant upper floors. These residential developments will create a diverse, lower cost supply of housing that will attract residents to the downtown. To learn about the PDP's Vacant Upper Floors Loan Plan, click here.
