Sixth Ward Flats
Sixth Ward Flats is a two-building, 35-unit new construction affordable housing project located in the Lawrenceville neighborhood of Pittsburgh. The project was built on two of the last remaining vacant parcels in Doughboy Square, a highly-visible gateway to the neighborhood. The development features 1,000 SF of first-floor commercial space leased to a community-oriented use, an outdoor patio, secure bike parking, energy-efficient building systems, and other amenities. Eight of the affordable apartments have a preference for individuals with physical and intellectual disabilities, with supportive services provided in partnership with ACHIEVA. Construction was completed in the fall of 2021.
