The Next Development Activities meeting in Oakland is on Monday, July 11th at 5:30PM via Zoom. 

Walnut Capital and Strada will be presenting to the Oakland community their plan for Parcel “A” of Oakland Crossings. The proposed 2.66-acre development, located at 3401 Boulevard of the Allies, seeks to construct a multistory mixed-use building on the former Quality Inn site. Located at the intersection of Boulevard of the Allies, Halket Street, Zulema Street, and Coltart Avenue in Central Oakland, the proposed development calls for a grocery store, 426 apartment units, an integrated 438-space parking garage, and ground-floor retail uses (including a 33,000-square-foot grocery store and 8,000 square feet of additional retail space). The project will require review and approval by the City of Pittsburgh Planning Commission.
