Mistick Construction proudly served as the General Contractor for the Allegheny Branch House Lofts, transforming the former International Harvester Company branch house, originally built in 1905, into a beautiful residential community. This project was a collaborative effort with Q Development and PWWG, and successfully earned Historic Tax Credits.
The renovation was meticulously performed to adhere to historic preservation requirements, resulting in 36 market-rate units featuring 21 unique floor plans. Each unit showcases historic high timber and tin ceilings, real wood flooring, and penny tile backsplashes, providing residents with a blend of modern comfort and historic charm.
One of the standout features is the first-floor community space, which prominently displays an antique tractor, honoring the building's rich history. Additionally, a skylight in the elevator section allows natural light to flood through to the first floor, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere.
Residents can enjoy a range of amenities, including a fitness center and a dog wash station. Despite the building’s proximity to a railroad, sound attenuation measures have been implemented to significantly reduce noise levels, ensuring a peaceful living environment.
