New lofts proposed for former Mt. Washington school building

PITTSBURGH — Developers have their eyes set on Mount Washington.

They’re looking to transform the former Bishop Leonard-St. Mary of the Mount Academy Building into a new living space.

Mindful Grandview LLC bought the space back in 2018 for more than a million dollars.

Once they get the green light from the city to move forward, they plan to turn the Bigham Street property into new loft-style apartments.

The old school would take on the name Grandview Lofts.

The goal is to offer more than 30 loft apartments in the four-story building, along with a rooftop deck that offers a picturesque view of the steel city.

People who live there said it’s exactly what this area needs.

The planning commission will review the proposal Tuesday.
