November HRC is up. There are four relatively large projects of interest this time around.
1.
Conversion of most of the Carson-street facing side of 2529 East Carson Street (one of the South Side Works buildings) into apartments. It looks like they only plan on keeping the corner retail area (occupied by First Commonwealth Bank). This is a bit of a surprise, given there are still a number of active businesses on that block, but I suppose they might not be paying rent - and Carson Street was over-retailed even prior to COVID.
2.
Reglazing of 915 Liberty Avenue. While the project itself is somewhat limited, there is a good deal of diagrams explaining the planned residential conversion of this building which may be of interest.
3.
A resubmittal of seven planned infill townhouses by October Development in Central Northside. This was initially proposed a few months back, but embarrassingly the architect/developer seemed totally unaware that due to the lots presence within the expanded Mexican War Streets historic district they had to go through historic design review. The new designs are still ugly, but they at least keep to the rhythm of the existing homes (same window height/spacing), and most importantly they rotated half of the garages to the rear, meaning there will be less sidewalk curb cuts.
