Urban Living Uncorked
Originally constructed in 1901 as
the Armstrong Cork Factory, this landmark structure will be
artfully converted into 295 loft apartments. A 427-space parking
garage and over 47,000 SF of retail shops will also be constructed
on an adjacent lot. The buildings’ classic red brick façade, an
historic silo, and engine room along other original details will
be restored and incorporated into the re-development. The Cork
Factory is located on the Allegheny River in downtown Pittsburgh
in the heart of the “Strip District”. The Strip District is a
vibrant neighborhood with an eclectic mix of wholesale merchants,
boutiques, sidewalk vendors, restaurants, night clubs, and loft
residences as well as the exceptional gallery Society of
Contemporary Craft and the world-class Heinz History Center.
The Cork Factory will offer studios, one bedroom, two bedroom,
and three bedroom units with large floor plans. The loft-style
apartments will feature breathtaking riverfront views, 14 foot
exposed ceilings, and washer/dryer sets in each unit. Select units
will contain stainless steel sinks, garden-style tubs, and exposed
brick walls. Among the numerous amenities to be offered are a
private party room in the restored engine room, a fitness room
with state- of-the-art equipment, a 24-hour business center, and a
conference room
The project is scheduled for completion during the summer of
2006.
