The City of Pittsburgh has placed one of its former fire stations for sale.  Engine House Number 16, located at Penn Avenue and North Lang Avenue is being offered for redevelopment by the City of Pittsburgh with the guidance of the Urban Redevelopment Authority of Pittsburgh (URA).

The two entities are calling for developers to submit proposals by October 22, 2010.  The URA is coordinating the proposal process, reviewing and evaluating the proposals, and making its recommendation to the City of Pittsburgh.  The City says there is no public subsidy available for the redevelopment of the property and that lease proposals will not be considered.

According to the City of Pittsburgh, Engine House Number 16 was built in the early 1900's, and is currently in fair condition.  Situated on a 3,750 square foot lot, the multiple story building is a total of 6,525 square feet.

In its Request For Proposal, the City states that the building is a "neighborhood gem", with its brick exterior, classic signage, and 16 foot ceilings.  The building has a full basement, and the first floor is nearly finished.  It features two drive-in bays, a kitchen, lounge and restroom.  The second floor has a classroom, two offices, a double shower, a file room, and a second restroom.

The City claims the building has appraised for $90,000.  For more information on the building and how to participate in the proposal process, view the City of Pittsburgh's Request for Proposal.
