Uptown Partners of Pittsburgh

Uptown Partners created the Real Estate Design, and Development Committee (REDD) to ensure that new development and public space uphold high equitable, environmental, contextual, and design standards. The purpose of REDD is to foster sustainable development in the neighborhood by balancing community needs and identifying market opportunities, referencing current and past community plans for compatibility. All projects will be vetted for quality, sustainable and contextual design with an emphasis on integrating arts into the neighborhood. REDD works with the Dept. of City Planning, specifically, the Contextual Design Advisory Panel.

REDD welcomes potential developers with a viable project to present to the committee for productive discussion and feedback on their plans. Working in tandem with the committee helps ensure a smooth pre-development process and a successful development project.

Meetings are held every second Tuesday of the month at 2:00 PM. All meetings are virtual at this time.

For more information or to get on the REDD agenda, contact Sabreena Miller, Real Estate & Development Program Manager,  at smiller@uptownpartners.org or at (412) 586-7037.
