Strada is taking active measures to ensure the health of our Team Members and also to assist in fighting the spread of COVID-19. We closed our physical offices in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia on March 17, 2020. We continue to operate remotely while considering CDC guidelines and recommendations to protect our team and clients for a safe reopening. We anticipate returning to our offices this summer, but will update our plans as new information becomes available.
Meetings will continue to be held virtually, via conference call or may be postponed. All of our Team Members will be working remotely under our work-from-home policy. Due to school and business closings, our staff may be active at various times throughout the day and evening. Please bear with us as we make every effort to stay on schedule and in contact with our clients and business colleagues.
At Shadyside Commons, the Strada team has refreshed a large multi-unit residential building, strengthening the appeal of 12,000 SF of interior common spaces as well as an exterior courtyard.
A 3-story brick structure at the edge of the Shadyside neighborhood, the Bindley Hardware Company Building (1903) was converted to a 147-unit apartment complex in 1985.
Current renovations have transformed cramped common spaces making them open and welcoming, allowing residents to meet, read, or watch TV in an atmosphere enhanced by abundant natural light and original wood beams. The renovated interior opens up to a previously underused courtyard which is now organized into a series of casual seating areas with new lighting, canopies, a fire pit, and grilling area. Strada also designed upgrades for the building entry and leasing office to complete the refresh of this historic warehouse building.
