ASSET MAXIMIZATION PLAN for Unused School Properties THE SCHOOL DISTRICT OF PITTSBURGH ASSET MAXIMIZATION PLAN For Unused School Properties Presented by FOURTH RIVER DEVELOPMENT LLC March 1, 2013 Asset Maximization Plan FOURTH RIVER DEVELOPMENT LLC For The School District of Pittsburgh EXECUTIVE SUMMARY On July 20, 2012, Fourth River Development was directed to evaluate 19 closed school properties and present recommendations designed to maximize property values through enhancement procedures leading to site‐specific disposition strategies as well as detailed preliminary asset management strategies. The 19 closed schools are: Northview Heights McNaugher Mann Sheraden (Schaeffer) Stevens Schaeffer Beltzhoover Knoxville Bon Air Murray Burgwin Gladstone Madison Fort Pitt Rogers McCleary Morningside Belmar Homewood (Old) FRD was also directed to include Columbus School in this property enhancement process, which brings the number of former schools to 20. FRD reviewed School District policies and procedures that impact property values and disposition, as well as evaluating the marketability of the individual properties. The overall approach was that of an independent third‐party using an “Owner’s” point of view to look for possible opportunities and hindrances that may not be apparent to School District management and Board Members. GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS 1. Work within Board Policy and the School Code to use all available means to sell/dispose of these 20 properties. 2. Utilize proceeds from recent sales of former District schools to offset the outstanding debt of the current 20 properties. 3. Establish a “reuse program” of operating equipment from closed schools. 4. Inventory each school for artwork, valuable artifacts, and memorabilia worth salvage and retention by the School District. 5. Inventory and remove furniture, supplies and non‐operating equipment from schools. 6. Retain all mineral rights upon sale of any School District real estate (not just these 20 properties). 7. Investigate utility usage and maintenance procedures to look for cost saving measures. 8. Bundle school properties. 9. Initiate a marketing effort for properties identified as having a high potential for sale. 10. Initiate a search for state and federal remediation funds to assist in the removal of hazardous materials from schools. 11. Work with other local agencies that own or control public property to consider (1) cooperative efforts to market adjacent or nearby properties and (2) transfer/trade ownership of properties to enhance particular assets. 12. Offer the 20 former school properties and all other currently operating school properties as candidates for mobile communication cell sites and billboard locations for revenue enhancement. 13. Order Appraisals and Install Appropriate Signage. 14. Revise District “Properties for Sale” webpage.

No Estimated Demolition Cost: $550,000 Current Appraisals: None Zoning: Low Density Residential Market: Located in North Hills, near I-279 and accessible from East Street (parallel to I-279). Good location for multiple redevelopment uses. Close to central business district but not impacted by traffic, parking, etc. The proximity to the Northview Heights housing project could negatively impact the redevelopment of this property should alternative access not be available. Property: Large developable land area. Large portions of the site are significantly sloped hillside but would still be developable. The buildings are in good condition. This location lends itself to multiple uses – office, residential, or community center for adjacent housing. Property value would be enhanced by gaining access directly off East Street via PennDOT Right of Way. Recommendation: Negotiated Sale Order 3 new appraisals, title search and initiate full marketing program Special Considerations: Pursue availability of PennDOT Right of Way at East Street for improved access to property. Contact with PennDOT already initiated (see following letter).

  • Anatomy of a Neighborhood: Homewood in the 21St Century, 2011
    ANATOMY OF A NEIGHBORHOOD: HOMEWOOD IN THE 21ST CENTURY March 2011 Project in support of the Homewood Children’s Village report: State of the Village, 2011 Program in Urban and Regional Analysis University Center for Social and Urban Research University of Pittsburgh 121 University Place Pittsburgh, PA 15260 Homewood Children’s Village University of Pittsburgh School of Social Work Center on Race and Social Problems Executive Summary The Urban and Regional Analysis program at the University Center for Social and Urban Research (UCSUR) has been engaged in a number of projects involving Pittsburgh neighborhoods, with its Pittsburgh Neighborhood and Community Information System (PNCIS) serving as a valuable resource for these projects. Homewood is a neighborhood in Pittsburgh’s East End that has experienced tremendous change since the 1940s, as suburbanization, population loss and post-industrial restructuring of the Pittsburgh region have deeply affected this community. This report summarizes collaboration between UCSUR and the Homewood Children’s Village in 2010. Information from this study will also be part of the Homewood Children’s Village State of the Village (2011).1 Some prominent changes and trends analyzed in this report include: Homewood continues to lose population. Between 2000 and 2010, Homewood’s population dropped 30.6 percent, to 6,600 residents. In Homewood South and Homewood West, residents aged 65 and over make up nearly a third of the population. The average sales price for existing residential homes in Homewood was $9,060 in 2009, one-tenth the average price for a home in the City of Pittsburgh. This 2009 price represents a substantial loss of home equity from twenty years earlier, when the average home sold for over $22,000 in current (2010) dollars.

We believe that Pittsburgh’s future is built upon strong neighborhoods and the good work happening on the ground. It is integral to our role as an advocate, collaborator and convener to lift up exemplary projects and share best practices in ways that advance better engagement and community-led decisions and ensure a better understanding of the processes that lead to success and positive impact on our neighborhoods. We share this story with you to inspire action and celebrate progress, and most importantly, to empower leaders and residents in other communities to actively ˙ shape the future of their neighborhoods. — Presley L. Gillespie President, Neighborhood Allies Neighborhood Strategy Guide || 1 innovative project report: From concept to consensus Upwards of 600 people braved the chill of an early December night in Pittsburgh last year to celebrate in the warmth inside Heinz Field, home of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Their reason for celebration had nothing to do with the exploits of the city’s beloved professional football team. A community plan was being unveiled for improving the quality of life in the city’s Northside neighborhoods around the stadium that the voices of several thousand residents and community stakeholders had shaped. And hopes were high that improvements in infrastructure, schools, employment and lives would be more broadly and quickly realized, as they had in other city neighborhoods where resources and revitalization were attracting investment and people.
