Trek’s 97-Home Point Breeze Plan Heads to City Meeting

A proposed housing development at the former Lexington Technology Park site in Point Breeze North is scheduled for a City of Pittsburgh Development Activities Meeting on Monday, Oct. 12. The city lists the project at 7228–7930 McPherson Boulevard and schedules the virtual meeting for 7 to 8 p.m. The agenda describes the item as new construction of multifamily housing, while the developer’s plan remains in an early design and review stage.

What the current proposal includes

Trek Development Group is pursuing a three-phase project with 97 homes, according to the Pittsburgh Business Times’ Oct. 7 report. The reported concept combines a 45-unit elevator building, 44 garden-style apartments and eight for-sale houses. Trek is working with Pittsburgh-based PWWG Architects. The mix would bring apartments and ownership options to a site near Rockwell Park, a former industrial campus being reused for commercial tenants and makers.

The figures describe a proposal, not homes approved for construction. The City Planning Department’s official Oct. 12 meeting notice provides the project address, meeting type and virtual access details. The meeting begins at 7 p.m. on Zoom; the city notice lists Meeting ID 863 8119 4927 and passcode 540910. Residents can use the agenda to review the scheduled item and join the discussion. The posted notice does not set out rents, sale prices, an affordability mix, final drawings or a construction schedule. Those remain useful questions for neighbors as the design moves through early review; the meeting listing itself is not a permit or approval announcement.

A long-running redevelopment site

The proposal follows a long redevelopment process. The URA’s project archive describes the wider Lexington Technology Park as a 16.5-acre site beside Homewood Station on the East Busway, and says the authority has owned and managed the property since 1996. Its reuse goals include transit-oriented development, mixed-income housing and quality job opportunities. The archive describes an older master-planning framework, rather than the current plan: it separated a western residential area from eastern office, light-manufacturing and warehouse uses. The Pittsburgh Business Times reported that the URA selected Trek in 2025 to pursue housing at the city-owned property. The earlier public concepts ranged from 65 to 94 homes; the current 97-home layout would be another design iteration, not final approval.

For nearby neighbors, the Oct. 12 session offers a chance to see how the plan has changed and what its building types and phases may mean for the area. It also gives the city an opportunity to receive feedback before later planning or approval steps. The meeting notice identifies the project, but it does not state that construction permits or final plans have been approved.

Lexington Technology Park sits beside Rockwell Park and near the Homewood and Point Breeze North communities. The official URA project page documents the city’s effort to redevelop the site, while the Rockwell campus continues to house commercial and creative users. If Trek’s plan advances, the proposal would add a new residential use alongside that changing employment district. For now, Monday’s meeting is a preview of the next design conversation, not a construction start date.
