This project has the quality and consideration to make it stand above others of this typology. If only the wave of other multi-family residential projects could be as nice as this one.

Project Information
Submission NameFlats on Forward
Project Intent StatementFlats on Forward responds to Pittsburgh's need for new models of affordable housing. Led by the not-for-profit developer ACTION-Housing, the project includes 43 apartments for households with incomes of 60% AMI or below. The mixed-use building features flexible units that prioritize occupant well-being, a community center, storefront offices for ACTION-Housing’s Supportive Housing Management Services team, and a garage with bicycle and tenant storage. The project is located at a transit-accessible gateway to Squirrel Hill, on a brownfield site with over 24’ of grade change between party-wall neighbors. Recognizing its potential to articulate a vibrant neighborhood intersection, the team sought broad community input, aligning with ongoing revitalization efforts and marking this gateway with green space, a porch, and community gathering areas. An efficient configuration of standard brick units into a contemporary expression responds to the detail of surrounding brick buildings.
