A residence without equal. Among Pittsburgh's most exceptional luxury condominium offerings, Residence 1508 at Lumire was conceived during the tower's original development by combining four residences into one extraordinary home. Its scale, configuration and customization would be nearly impossible to replicate today. Occupying one of the building's most desirable exposures, floor to ceiling windows capture sweeping 270 degree panoramic views and extraordinary natural light. Elevated above much of the surrounding architecture, the residence overlooks Mellon Square's fountains, waterfalls and greenery, creating a rare park backdrop in the heart of Downtown. Engineered for world class entertaining, the expansive great room features a custom NanaWall glass system structurally integrated during original construction. The accordion glass folds open on beautiful days, creating a dramatic indoor and outdoor connection overlooking the park. An automated drop down projection screen brings games and movies into the entertaining space with the city as its backdrop. LERTA Tax Abatement applies for remaining approximately 5 years. The designer kitchen pairs exceptional craftsmanship with remarkable functionality. Three inch thick imported marble countertops give the oversized island the appearance of a sculpted block of stone. An approximately $65,000 eight burner Italian gas range integrates seamlessly into the cabinetry with distinctive living brass detailing. Separate full size Sub Zero refrigerator and freezer, two dishwashers, a six foot sink with dual faucets, beverage refrigeration and extensive custom cabinetry complete the kitchen. A dedicated wet bar provides hot, cold and sparkling water on tap. Smart home integration, automatic bedroom window treatments and zoned heating and cooling enhance everyday comfort. The owner's wing occupies what would have been an entire condominium, with an oversized bedroom, luxurious spa inspired marble bathroom, custom illuminated closet system, heated towel rack and extensive storage. Designer bathrooms feature backlit anti fog mirrors and refined stonework, while the powder room showcases a custom imported backlit quartz wall. An unusually spacious laundry room includes custom built ins and a full size clothing steaming machine. Lumire places you steps from top restaurants, coffee shops, fitness, Target, Mellon Square, Market Square and the Penn Avenue Cultural District, with convenient access to Heinz Hall, the Pittsburgh Symphony, theater, concerts and all three professional sports venues. Lumiere is central to one of the most consequential periods of investment and redevelopment Downtown Pittsburgh has experienced in decades. Hundreds of new residential units are currently under construction as office buildings throughout Downtown are converted into housing. Major investment in the surrounding public realm is already underway. The transformation of Smithfield Street represents an investment of more than $25 million and is designed to create a greener, more pedestrian friendly corridor with wider sidewalks, new landscaping and improved public spaces. Nearby, the historic Gulf Tower is being transformed into a major mixed use destination incorporating residences, restaurants, hospitality and the forthcoming five star Hotel Bardo. The David L. Lawrence Convention Center is also positioned for a significant new addition with plans for a 500 room Loews hotel directly connected to the Convention Center. The project represents a projected $418 million total investment and is expected to further strengthen Downtown's ability to attract major conventions, events and visitors. These investments join the continued addition of Downtown housing, improvements to public spaces, new hospitality concepts, restaurants and entertainment destinations that are collectively reshaping Pittsburgh's urban core.
