Much of the original city plan remains, connecting residences and businesses through walkable green space. The site is bolstered by its proximity to Downtown and to the North Shore eateries and attractions, including PNC Park and Heinz Field. Closer destinations of the New Hazlett Theatre, the Children’s Museum and the Warhol Museum provide opportunities for community connectivity. Allegheny Commons Park, Park View apartments and dynamic retail balance the more commercial aspects of the area, making this a true urban neighborhood where residents can live, work, and play. A strong set of project goals serve as a guide through concept and design development. Establish a mixed-use environment where living, working, dining, and creating can all be done in one place. Include spaces that are attractive and dynamic to existing and future tenants Craft a place with recognizable and visible character Foster a pedestrian environment that is convenient, interesting and inspiring. Define paths and portals to create a distinct sense of arrival and place Utilize the tenet of landscape architecture to return nature to both indoors and out. HISTORY HISTORY NORTH WITH A SIDE OF HISTORY From the golden age of old Allegheny City to the mid century urban renewal of Allegheny Center see how Nova Place became what it is today. The site that Nova Place rests on has historic roots and was originally a walkable city. The 36-block city was planned by John Redick in 1784, complete with common grazing areas for livestock. By 1899 Allegheny City was a densely packed market town that was growing with both industry and culture. HISTORY 1780-1790 The United States sang of independence at the end of the Revolutionary War, with new land to explore and a country to develop, its thick wilderness transformed, paving way for the foundation of modern cities. One such town, occupied by the Seneca Indians and war veterans who accepted land for their war services, was soon to be known as Allegheny City. Its 3,000 acres situated across the river from Pittsburgh, gradually attracted people and industries, especially with James Robinson’s 1780 ferry service that connected Pittsburgh to its north side. 1800-1830 While Pittsburgh was known as the “Gateway to the West,” Allegheny Town made an impression with its manufacturing. A home to leather workers, blacksmiths, shoemakers, boat builders, iron manufacturers of the Juniata Rolling Mill, paper mill workers, and workers in the blossoming cotton industry, Allegheny supplied working-class power and thrived in public solidarity. 1840-1900 Qualifying as a third-class city before 1840 with 10,090 inhabitants, Allegheny City experienced its Golden Years. It hosted prominent companies such as McKinney, Westinghouse, and H.J. Heinz, alongside some of the greatest visionaries of the time – Andrew Carnegie, Martha Graham, Alexander Cassatt, Gertrude Stein, and John Pitcairn. Its residents created libraries, observatories, banks, and invented and secured patents for toys, slippers, razors, chairs, metallic kegs, anchors and hinges, among others. The city through industry and innovation became the wealthiest place on earth. HISTORY 1900-1930 At the turn of the century, there was a push for a “Greater Pittsburgh,” and the city was annexed by Pittsburgh on December 9, 1907. Economy stabilized and public works projects provided residents with a safer, cleaner city. The legacies and mansions of Allegheny City’s Golden Age remained, but the North Side started to experience change. 1940-1960 With WWII straining the country and suburbia extracting prominent families from the cities, the city needed to adjust with the times. A flood that shocked the North Side opened the door for rebuilding and redesign. The first Sears was erected, alongside the Buhl Planetarium and Allegheny General Hospital. Then, ALCOA saw an opportunity to revitalize the North Side. 1970-2000 ALCOA’s Allegheny Center Mall opened in 1966, attracting visitors and providing premier shopping for a little less than 20 years. Albeit a short-lived venture, the 1.5 million sq. ft. location hosted a multitude of companies in the years after the mall and bordered a block of successful apartment buildings and townhomes. Modernization of the North Side continued with baseball and football stadiums, a casino and new bars and restaurants that drew people back to Pittsburgh’s North Side.
