TechShop Coming to Bakery Square


It looks like TechShop might open in Bakery Square, a major win for techies in the Burgh! They're not positive when people will be able to sign up for membership, but reports say it will not be long.

Information about the Pittsburgh’s TechShop seems to be coming in at a trickle, but, judging by emails I have received inquiring about it ‘burgh techies, geeks and makers are very excited.

The latest news appears to be that the space will be opening in Bakery Square sometime in the first quarter of 2013.

J.R. Yoccco, a retail broker and leasing manager for Grant Street Associates the group that represents retail space at Bakery Square, told our real estate reporter Tim Schooley the TechShop has officially leased 16,000 square feet and the target to open is early next year.

“The enthusiasm from the local community is just off the charts with this one,” Yocco said. “Googlers are very happy about it because it gives them the change to work on some personal projects.”

New Hotel in the Strip District


Walnut Capital Partners plans to develop 1400 Smallman St into a new hotel for the Strip District, and will soon be choosing the right hotel brand to run it. The $20 million project hopes to carve out a much needed space for visitors to the city of Pittsburgh.

Celebrity chef Lidia Bastianich may soon have a new place to stay when she visits her Lidia’s Pittsburgh restaurant in the Strip District. 
Walnut Capital Partners is moving forward with a plan to redevelop the 1400 Smallman St. property, an entertainment complex it first opened in 2001 and the location for Lidia’s Pittsburgh, into a new hotel project. 
Todd Reidbord, president of Walnut Capital, said his firm is working with Concord Hospitality on choosing the right hotel brand, and he hopes to begin construction on what he estimates will be a $20 million-plus project shortly after the new year.
