Grandview Apartments 

RSH Architects was commissioned to design this 21, 883 Square foot, 26-unit apartment building, which sits on the site of the former Grandview School on Grandview Avenue in McKeesport. Adaptive reuse of the existing school was considered and thoroughly investigated, however, it proved to be unfeasible. Working with the State Historic Preservation Office, the existing building was fully documented, researched and subsequently demolished to make way for a new building.

The new apartment building is for seniors. Each 540 square foot apartment is designed as a one-bedroom unit with amenities that include air conditioning and carpeting, as well as a fully accessible bathroom and full kitchen. The project also features a shared community activity room and ample parking.

Development of the three story apartment complex was made possible through funding from Section 202 of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Supportive Housing for the Elderly program, and sponsorship from the McKeesport Housing Corporation.
