Washington Park Developers Get More Time

Developers of the Washington Park condominium project in Mt. Lebanon got the extra time they were looking for Sept. 22, as the municipality's commission voted unanimously to approve a 12-month extension to submit a land development plan.

In an Aug. 27 letter to the commissioners from Zamagias Properties, CFO and Washington Park project manager Michael Heins requested an 18-month extension, citing the "continued turmoil in the financial markets affecting housing" as the reason the project has not progressed further.

Earlier - When Zamagias and Howard Hanna Realty broke up - I wrote: If Howard Hanna can't sell your snow cones - no one can. No disrespect to Coldwell Banker (another A Player in the field) just a dose of reality.

When I looked in July, there were about 40 units out of 46 listed for sale on the Coldwell Banker "Pittsburghmoves.com" site. Average price was just over $600,000. Now a search on the site returns only one unit listed for sale???

The original proposal – the one with all the pretty pictures that so impressed our decision makers -- called for a Certificate of Occupancy for the project to be issued 12-01-07. It looks like the best that could be now is 12-01-10.

The Municipality is still drunk on its own Kool Aid - thinking this project will go.
