W estern P ennsylvania SHEETZ: Details on South Fayette location Allegheny County’s next Boom Town Event
n an early morning just south of Pitts- burgh, a group of 200 individuals attended Allegh- eny County’s Next BoomTown Event hosted by Burns Scalo Real Estate at Beacon I. A panel consisting of Allegh- eny County Executive Rich Fitzerald , Pittsburgh Airport CEO Christina Cassotis, In- tegra Realty’s top Appraiser Paul Griffith , South Fayette Commissioner Gwen Rodi and State Representative Jason Ortitay discussed the area’s current and future develop- ment with excitement. O
Moderator, Jim Scalo - president of Burns Scalo Real Estate stated, “South Fay- ette is the next win on I-79,” naming it “the next BOOM TOWN”. The panelists were asked several questions about the Southern Beltway sched- uled to be completed by 2020 connecting the Pittsburgh International Airport to I-79. They conversed about the increased development that will occur along with the new roadway in addition to the in- creased connectivity that the south will witness. The County Execut i ve
shared his observations on Pittsburgh’s draw for talent, tech companies, and industrial businesses especially in the Southern Corridor which of- fers accessibility between the airport and downtown. “Large corporations are looking at Pittsburgh for the first time in decades!” Fitzerald said with enthusiasm. The hot topic of Pittsburgh’s soon to come new Interna- tional Airport was discussed by CEO Christina Cassotis in detail. She described the new- found ease passengers will encounter when traveling in the future. “It is all about the customer experience” she said. Connectivity via the Southern Beltway will be in sync with the timing of the new develop- ment of the airport, creating an entirely new capability and effortlessness travel to and from Pittsburgh. Overall, the consensus of the event was that South Fayette is perfectly positioned for the current and future planned de- velopment and rightly named “The Next Boom Town” in the Pittsburgh area. In other news, Bursca Busi- ness Park, situated along Washington Pike in Brid- geville, is one of Burns Scalo Real Estate’s many properties inside the boundaries of South Fayette Township. Burns Scalo owns four lots in total directly outside of Bursca. The lots include the land on either side of the entrance to Bursca Drive (one of which is 3109 where retail tenants reside), 3117 Washington Pike where an office building is scheduled to be torn down and the land at 3101 Washington Pike. The company has immense plans to redevelop/develop each lot alongside the commitment the commit they received from Sheetz for the corner lot. Sheetz will open officially in 2020 at 3109 Washington Pike where retail stores including Bubba’s Burgers and Sudsy’s Beer Store currently operate their businesses. Burns Scalo’s plan is to ride out the leases of their tenants in this location which will terminate before the commencement of the de- velopment of the new Sheetz. The gas station/fast food giant has signed a long-term land lease with Burns Scalo with the current tenant’s schedule and understanding in mind. There is no doubt that the addition continued on page 7C
