Real estate notes: Leasing agent expects strong demand for South Side office development

Avison Young was named the exclusive leasing agent for the 34th & Carson streets office development, Downtown. Under construction, the 31,000-square-foot, four-story office building will be FirstSite Development LLC's second project on Carson Street after 3447 Carson St., home to Matcon Diamond and Propel Charter Schools. Leasing efforts for 34th & Carson are assigned to the Avison Young team of David Auel, a vice president in the Pittsburgh office; and associate Ed Sauer. Newly constructed office space within and around Pittsburgh continues to enjoy a high level of occupancy, Auel said. Given the convenient location and access near the Hot Metal Bridge, coupled with free on-site parking, we believe that we will see strong demand from users wanting proximity to downtown and university areas. Construction is expected to be completed in the fall.
