The Pittsburgh Planning Commission on Tuesday cleared a final hurdle facing the second phase of a mixed-income Hill District housing community.
The commission approved renovations to an 8,400-square-foot community center called Wadsworth Hall and construction of 115 residences on 7.5 acres of land at Oak Hill, a Pittsburgh Housing Authority-managed development.
The approval is only the first part of the second phase of Oak Hill, which could eventually have 450 homes. The entire second phase will be developed in three to four parts, commission members said.
Boston-based developer Beacon/Corcoran Jennison could begin construction next fall if it receives the proper state tax credits.
