Pittsburgh’s Planning Commission on Tuesday unanimously approved a proposal to build 23 new townhomes in the city’s Strip District neighborhood.
Vacant industrial warehouses currently on the site — located near the 31st Street Bridge — would be torn down to pave the way for the new development.
Plans call for 11 market-rate townhomes on Smallman Street and a dozen more on Mulberry Way, the alley running between Smallman and Penn avenues.
Renderings presented to the planning commission show lawn areas and decorative planters to separate porches from the street.
The four-story townhomes have partially covered roof decks and attached garages.
