The Almono Limited Partnership, started by four southwestern Pennsylvania Foundations, purchased a 178-acre industrial site to see that it was developed into a sustainable riverfront community. Almono LP envisions this site as four distinct interconnected districts with a range of allowable uses and each with unique and meaningful places.
The Vision Plan was completed in October 2011, and, thereafter, the managing partner, the consultant team, and various governing agencies met regularly to discuss the goals, content and process for development of this site. As the site engineering began to be developed, the Preliminary Land Development Plan (PLDP) and Specially Planned District submission was prepared in conjunction with the City of Pittsburgh to establish parameters of design and the intended site systems in greater detail.
