The historic Highland Building in East Liberty will be getting a makeover that will “restore it to its original 1909 Grandeur”! This will be an estimated $30 million project to convert the Highland Building and the adjacent Wallace Building into apartments which will have over 110 units.
Although one of the goals of the project is to restore the original look of both buildings as much as possible, it’s planned that the first floor will contain a fitness center, a community room and management offices.
Gregg Perelman, a Walnut Capital principal, said the apartment units should be ready by June 2013. The one-bedroom units will start at $1,100 a month.
He believes the space will attract a lot of attention from young professionals and graduate students who are attending the nearby universities as shuttles to Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh run by the Highland Building.

How many graduate students do you know that can afford $1,100 a month for just housing without utilities?
That's super expensive. Unrealistic. Won't even bother putting in an application as a graduate come April.
