This property is currently under construction.

The first phase of work to redevelop the Bedford Dwellings section of Pittsburgh’s Hill District includes construction of a seven-story building called City’s Edge which, when completed, will include affordable apartments as well as a parking garage, community room, management office, fitness center, and 3,000 square feet of green space. The building will house nearly 40,000 square feet of commercial space and office space for minority- and women-owned businesses. It also will include a health care facility and pharmacy, a business lounge and an ATM banking center, according to the Housing Authority of the City of Pittsburgh.

Dave's Thoughts On City's Edge

This LIHTC property is among the most common types of affordable rental housing in the United States. The LIHTC program only provides subsidies to the building’s owner at construction. No subsidies are provided directly to the residents, but the owner must set rents affordable to low-income renters in the area. Our data suggests City's Edge does not participate in any project-based rent subsidy program. This means you must earn enough to pay the full rent or have your own Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher. For that reason, LIHTC properties tend to have shorter waiting lists or even none at all. LIHTC properties nationwide are required to accept housing vouchers. LIHTC properties were first built in the late 1980's. Because they tend to be newer, these properties are more likely to have larger units, more amenities, and greater tenant service offerings than other affordable housing programs. This property might be right for you if you have a housing voucher or enough income to pay rent, are looking for a high quality property, or need immediate availability. Since this property participates in the LIHTC program, the property is required to accept Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers.
