Howard Hanna build in Sewickley could begin next month

Howard Hanna could start construction in late March or early April on a roughly $1 million office building in Sewickley.

Sewickley Council members approved the plan earlier this month.

The 4,500-square-foot building at Broad and Thorn streets calls for a flat roof, departing from an original sloped-roof design approved by the borough's planning commission, architect Stephen Casey said. Larger storefront windows along the Broad Street side are part of the revised plan.

The building, with a planned red brick facade, would accommodate up to 39 agents and include work space and conference rooms, architect Stephen Casey said. It would include a mezzanine level.

The Sewickley real estate office caught fire June 13, when a lightning strike hit the Sewickley United Methodist Church clock tower. The fire damaged the structure, displaced residents living above the offices and forced real-estate agents to work in temporary locations.
