Pittsburgh – The Pennsylvania State University has
leased approximately 2,100 square feet in the newly renovated Liberty
Center retail corridor for its Community Recruitment Center and
the establishment of a Continuing Education Office, according to
J.R.Yocco of Grant Street Associates, who represented the university.
Jack O’Donoghue and Michele Goetz of Grant Street Associates
represented the landlord, Liberty Center Venture.
Penn State is moving its Pittsburgh Community Recruitment Center
to downtown from the Point Breeze section of Pittsburgh. At present,
the University’s only other location of this kind in the state
is in Philadelphia. It plans to occupy its new first-floor space
in October of this year.
Mike Phillips, Director of the Penn State Pittsburgh Community
Recruitment Center, said Penn State selected Liberty Center from
more than 15 competing properties for its easy-to-find location
and close proximity to the David L. Lawrence Convention Center,
which hosts one of the largest college fairs in the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania.
“Our goal is to become more visible and accessible to the
students, parents and schools of the City of Pittsburgh,”
Phillips said.
Grant Street Associates, Inc., an independently owned and operated
member of the Cushman & Wakefield Alliance, is a full-service
commercial real estate firm specializing in tenant and agency representation,
transactions and brokerage, consulting and corporate services. Penn
State retained Grant Street Associates for tenant representation
based on its affiliation with Cushman & Wakefield, with whom
the University has worked successfully in other markets.
“Grant’s (Street Associates) representatives proved
to be professional and responsive initially as well as throughout
the process,” Phillips said.
