Bakery Square in the Wall Street Journal

There is once again confirmation that Pittsburgh is one of the best places to live!  Also, we were excited to see Bakery Square mentioned in the Wall Street Journal!

There are a few abandoned mills along the rivers, but most seem to have been razed and replaced with office parks. The old Heinz ketchup factory on the North Side is now luxury apartments. Google does engineering and robotics research in a former Nabisco factory near Shadyside on the East End.

Read about the awesome engineering that went into the design of Urban Active at Bakery Square

But the work – and the challenges – didn’t stop there.  Urban Active’s BkSq space was essentially constructed out of pre-cast concrete and partially enclosed by a parking garage. “It was basically one giant precast box,” explained Eric Pascucci, PJ Dick Project Manager. 

That 47,000 square foot pre-cast box, however, was ultimately transformed into a state-of-the-art fitness space including a swimming pool, tanning salon, racquetball and basketball courts, locker room facilities with saunas and lounges, personal and group fitness studios, as well as a mezzanine level complete with a smoothie bar and pro-shop.
