Bakery Square 2.0 plans to add bigger and better commercial space for East Liberty, and in the Reizenstein School location it will be in the perfect place to revitalize the area. Stay tuned for more updates on what will be happening!
The redevelopment of the Reizenstein School site along Penn Avenue is a unique opportunity to extend the success of Bakery Square and achieve a complete city neighborhood where Pittsburghers can live, work, and play within one tightly knit community. This project will build on the assets of Bakery Square’s emerging role as a major destination in the East End, with excellent transit access and parking to support it. The Bakery Square 2.0 Master Plan, developed for Walnut Capital, completes the vision of a mixed-use zone that draws on the historic character of the adjacent Shadyside neighborhood with its density, variety, and walkability.
Architecturally, the development will draw on both the Nabisco building and nearby residences of Chatham Village, Dover Gables, and Shadyside, while satisfying contemporary needs with open, flexible spaces, abundant natural light, locally-sourced materials, and connections to green courtyards. Buildings will be designed to LEED Silver standards, using passive and active strategies to capitalize on this solar orientation. Internal streets will be built to minimum dimensions in order to reduce impervious surfaces and privilege the pedestrian over the automobile.
