PITTSBURGH — Construction began Monday for a new luxury condominium complex in the Strip District.

Developers said half of the units have already been sold, which Mayor Bill Peduto said proves there is a demand for city living.

“The one way we can assure that we remain one of the most affordable cities in America is to assure that there is a supply to meet the demand, and that’s what we’re doing here today,” Peduto said.
