Striving to keep the real in real estate coverage as a reporter for the Pittsburgh Business Times. Also covers: retail, restaurants, film prod., etc. etc. etc.
@colin_dunlap I’m not here for a tedious political debate strangely based on the siting of an e-commerce warehouse. I’ll conclude there’s no shortage of Amazon facilities in Allegheny County. Seven or eight, I believe. There’s a decent chance Churchill is poised for something better anyway.
@chrisbriem I miss Mahla and Co.! I tried to get them to talk when they closed since they were there for decades but they closed quietly after selling the building to McKnight. Don’t know the building’s origins.
@chrisbriem@PittsburghPG Great piece by Todd….who I interned for however long ago that was at the Pitt News. One tiny detail I wonder about: how much are the houses in Braddock brick versus wood-framed. Seems more the latter to me and likely harder to maintain and renovate.
@chrisbriem Another WSJ story I need to catch up on apparently. The curious thing for downtown PGH is very few office buildings have traded. Being able to sell suggests anyone will buy. Others are kept off market..so not much price discovery.
@gothburz@BradleyRawkStar It’s all well put but on the social media platform which most trains us to shred our own attention spans. Did you post this anywhere else? I’d like to read it more thoroughly later. It’s worth the time that X can’t help but undermine.
@chrisbriem “Literally” surrounding you. What’s about figuratively surrounding you? Like on Netflix or HBOMax playing on the ultra-high def TVs in the dozens of $1,500-a-month apartments in walking distance? If you’re going to throw in the word “literally,” throw in a crime stat or two.
