The Urban Redevelopment Authority of Pittsburgh (the “URA”) owns approximately 8.57 acres of sloped land in the Melody Tent section of the Lower Hill neighborhood of the City of Pittsburgh (the “Site”). The Site is currently being used as surface parking and is comprised of a portion of Block A (Parcel Nos. 2-C-303, 2-C-298, and 2-C-301) and the URA-owned portion of Block C (Parcel Nos. 2-C-305, 2-C-300), and as further depicted in Exhibit A.

Approximately 1.75 acres of Block A is reserved for the development of mixed-income housing by the Housing Authority of the City of Pittsburgh (“HACP”), in partnership with TREK Development Group (“TREK”), as part of the CHOICE Neighborhood Implementation.

The URA is requesting proposals from one or more developers (the “Developer” or “Developers”) for the purchase and redevelopment of a portion of or all of the remaining 6.82 acres of the Site for the primary purpose of constructing affordable and/or market-rate multi-unit housing. The URA will additionally consider proposals that include mixed-use and commercial development on the Site. The selected Developer(s) will be encouraged to coordinate with HACP and TREK when developing the Site.
