The Pittsburgh office of Los Angeles-based CB Richard Ellis is marketing the property, including leasing of the remaining 230,000 sf of flex office/general manufacturing space at the Robertshaw facility.

CC Realty president Rich Erenberg declined to provide construction cost estimates for GlobeSt.com. "Municipal approvals won't be obtained for about 12 months," he says, "and we honestly don't know what our costs will be." He would not disclose the price paid for the land and existing building.

"We will put in all the infrastructure and sell off each phase," he says, adding his company may also attract some build-to-suit clients. "The clear, competitive advantage…on this property is its location," he says.

Initial plans call for the development of approximately 20 acres that front the Pennsylvania Turnpike and approximately 130 acres immediately behind the existing building. Approximately 43 additional acres across the proposed park will be sold for residential construction.
