  • For Immediate Release: Lumière
    Chelsea Peluso, Public Relations Manager FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: [email protected] 412-304-1520 LUMIÈRE COMING TO DOWNTOWN PITTSBURGH (Pittsburgh, PA) – On Thursday, November 9, 2017, Millcraft Investments and McKnight Realty partners officially launched and opened pre-sales to Lumière residences, a new 86-unit condominium project in downtown Pittsburgh. “This project represents the first new home ownership opportunity since Piatt Place,” said Lucas Piatt, Owner and COO of Millcraft Investments. “We’ve seen this type of project be successful before, in a much different economic climate, in a much different downtown, Pittsburgh corridor, and in a much different housing market. We are confident this will be another success.” Presented to the Pittsburgh Planning Commission in late October, and passed by the board this week, plans for the project include nine floors of condominiums and a new parking garage. Phase One, the 350 Oliver Parking Garage, will open later this month. Located at the former Saks Fifth Avenue department store site, Lumière echoes similarities to Piatt Place. In the decade since its completion, Piatt Place is now a bustling mixed-use development and home to Piatt Place condominiums, The Capital Grille and The Goddard School, among others. The $38 million Lumière project will include a rooftop deck, state of the art amenities, open floor plans, dog park, and floor to ceiling windows on every floor with the option to add on folding glass wall technology creating an open-air living space. One, two and three-bedroom options will be available and eleven different floor plans, with terraces available on the eighth floor.

  • You May Have Seen Us At... a Message from Lucas Piatt
    September 25, 2017 Vol. 1, No. 1 A Message From Lucas Piatt Welcome to our first Millcraft company newsletter! With the hectic nature of our recent growth, interesting news can sometimes be lost along the way. We hope this collection of updates and announcements is helpful and informative. Everyone within the Millcraft family should know what is in the project pipeline, and have the ability to throw out the “30-second elevator pitch.” You, the Millcraft team member, is our best asset and our best salesperson. This year, Millcraft is acknowledging its 60th year. Beginning as a steel company in 1957, Millcraft has become one of the region’s most recognized real estate developers; not the biggest, but among the best. We encourage you to follow Millcraft on social media and the news page for interesting archive finds. As we round out 2017, Millcraft is rapidly moving forward with exciting projects. Starting this month, we are taking pre-sale reservations for Lumière, a new condominium project in Downtown Pittsburgh. Home prices are starting in the mid-$200s, with sales managed by our newest and very exciting venture, Piatt Sotheby’s International Realty. The second Piatt Sotheby’s International Realty office opened in September, with more locations opening soon in Sewickley and Southpointe before the year’s end. The brand new Home2 Suites hotel in Beaver is due to open in October, and the Hilton Garden Inn Southpointe, our very first hotel venture, will be receiving some needed renovations this fall. Our largest vision to date, The Esplanade, which will be located on the North Shore of the city, is currently being designed and plans are developing quickly.

    PENN STATE AE SENIOR THESIS 2011 - 2012 TECHNICAL ASSIGNMENT 2 Cost and Schedule Analysis BRIANNE KYLE Construction Management TECHNICAL ASSIGNMENT 2 Cost and Schedule Analysis BRIANNE KYLE Construction Management Thesis Advisor: Dr. Chimay J. Anumba November 21, 2011 RIVER VUE APARTMENTS | NEW LUXURY APARTMENTS RENOVATION| PITTSBURGH, PA RIVER VUE APARTMENTS | PITTSBURGH, PA | November 21, 2011 Executive Summary Technical Assignment 2 is intended to analyze the key features of the River Vue Apartments project that affect project execution and to determine important schedule attributes and the costs of a key building system. River Vue Apartments is the innovative reuse of the former Commonwealth of Pennsylvania State Office Building located in Pittsburgh, PA. Across from Point State Park in the Golden Triangle, these new luxury apartments will offer some of the best views of the city to its residents. The existing building was constructed in the 1950s, and the new construction project is a 295,000 SF renovation of the 16 story building. New additions, to transition from an office building to a residential building, include 218 apartment units, a two-story interior valet-parking garage on the basement and first floors, a small retail space of approximately 1,900 SF, a building party / media room, and a small fitness center. Information about the schedule of the design, procurement, and construction phases is discussed in the report with a detailed project schedule. It reflects how important the schedule is to the project’s overall successful completion. The beginning construction date is June 13, 2011, and the final completion date is October 3, 2012.
