The Urban Redevelopment Authority of Pittsburgh is issuing a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for the redevelopment of a site located at 7228-7930 McPherson Boulevard in the Point Breeze North neighborhood. The project aims to attract development teams capable of proposing innovative, neighborhood-sensitive, transit-oriented projects that align with community development goals. The site’s proximity to the Martin Luther King Jr. Busway emphasizes the focus on transit accessibility, with potential uses including multi-family housing, mixed-use developments, and amenities that promote walkability and connectivity. The development should incorporate a mix of affordable and market-rate housing options, such as multi-family units, townhomes, condos, or single-family homes, while maintaining existing mature trees and enhancing pedestrian connections to the busway and North Homewood Avenue barrier wall. Qualified firms are expected to demonstrate experience in complex urban infill projects, urban design expertise, and the ability to leverage public financing tools like Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) and private capital to fund construction and operations. The project’s size is estimated to have a development budget ranging from five to fifteen million dollars, with no guarantee of public subsidy from the URA. Interested developers must submit qualification packages by April 28, 2025, for review and selection by a committee that will invite shortlisted firms to submit full proposals. The process emphasizes the importance of previous successful urban development experience, financial capacity, and innovative design solutions that respect the neighborhood’s context. The contract is part of the URA’s broader efforts to foster sustainable, transit-oriented urban growth while ensuring community engagement and environmental considerations, such as preserving mature trees and improving pedestrian infrastructure.
