Downtown living is starting to bulge out of its Golden Triangle.
Two of the newest members of the growing urban residential community are in neighborhoods not previously considered Downtown -- the Strip District and the South Side.
The Cork Factory apartment complex in the Strip recently opened its second stage, changing the look and pulse of a neighborhood once mostly a workplace. On the South Side, the St. Casimir Condos are being touted as close-yet-far from the workday hustle.

Friday, March 30, 2007 at 12:00PM Condo sales not soaring yet, but developers say interest will pick up
While sales at some of Pittsburgh's high-profile condominium projects have been sluggish, local developers and real estate brokers were optimistic this week that spring's arrival will jump-start interest.
A survey of a handful of condominium projects Downtown and in the city's East End found that none are close to selling out yet -- even after almost three years of marketing, in one instance.
Several condo projects are under way Downtown, including Piatt Place, a 65-unit redevelopment of the former Lazarus-Macy's department store.

The developer of the $20 million Carlyle condominium project, Downtown, believes the Golden Triangle can absorb 2,000 new housing units without a problem.
At an event Monday marking the start of construction of units within the 21-story former Union National Bank building at Fourth Avenue and Wood Street, developer David Bishoff, president of the E.V. Bishoff Co., Columbus, said the city has the amenities to attract buyers Downtown.
"Cities such as Columbus, Philadelphia and Cincinnati, to mention a few, all have large Downtown residential populations, and Pittsburgh's downtown can offer more amenities than those cities," Bishoff said.

A developer said Monday that he hopes to build on the success of his condominium project Downtown with an adjacent residential renovation of roughly the same size.
In addition to Columbus, Ohio-based E.V. Bishoff Co.'s 61-unit The Carlyle condo project at Fourth Avenue and Wood Street, the firm will pursue the conversion of the adjacent Commonwealth Building into roughly 60 condominium units, company president David Bishoff said Monday.
When The Carlyle is 75 percent sold, "we will start the design and development" of the Commonwealth Building, Bishoff said.

In the first two days that reservations were being accepted for apartments in The Encore on 7th, the new high-rise on Fort Duquesne Boulevard, both penthouses had been snapped up at a price of $5,000 a month.
When the new 151 FirstSide condominium building got started, a $1.5 million penthouse was one of the first units to sell. And in the Strip District, renters are making reservations for top-of-the-line $3,700-per-month apartments.
Penthouses have been snapped up quickly since the current wave of Downtown apartment and condominium construction kicked off last year. Buyers have been plunking down serious money to jump out of their cars and ride an elevator the rest of the way home.
