[IMGCAP(1)]PITTSBURGH-DOC-Economou has unveiled plans for a four-block mixed-use complex to occupy the former Don Allen Auto City site and a few contiguous parcels at Baum and Liberty avenues. John Economou, a principal, tells GlobeSt.com the company paid $18 million for the land, which is slightly more than seven acres, and the all-in cost of development is projected at $230 million.

[IMGCAP(2)]The plan calls for more than 400,000 sf of retail, 150 residential condos, a 120-room hotel and 300,000 sf of office, including medical facilities. Economou says the complex is split along four individual blocks, and the buildings will range from two to nine stories tall. Moving from west to east, one block will have a six-story office building with ground-floor retail; the next will have a nine-story hotel, which may include several floors of retail and residential condos; next comes additional condos and retail, capped by a five-story office, residential condo building on the eastern-most block.
