| - Mr. Holtzman said the developer is in Pittsburgh for the long haul. “We do not build to sell. We do not build to convert to condominiums. We are going to own and operate this apartment community long-term,” he said. Construction of the SouthSide Works City Apartments at Sidney and 26th streets actually started earlier in 2015, with the first units to be ready in early 2016. The complex will feature a mix of nano, studio, convertible, one- and two-bedroom apartments, and penthouses. The nano apartments, about 10 percent of the total, will measure 400 square feet in size and rent for about $1,000 a month. Mr. Holtzman said they will serve as an “affordable” unit for those earning as little as $35,000 a year. SouthSide Works City Apartments also will include 12,000 square feet of commercial space and a 562-space parking garage. One of the options being considered for the retail space is a specialty market. Among other amenities are an indoor/outdoor swimming pool, concierge services, a 24-hour fitness room, and a Zen garden and courtyard park.
