Our Design Process

The initial meeting is a conference call or meeting at your business or property to gather basic project information and establish a scope of work.

We gather inspiration and develop preliminary floor plans, elevations, and/or renderings that incorporate the desired furniture, finishes, and other design elements.

We present the FF&E and finish selections for your approval along with the FF&E budget and make revisions as necessary.  Upon approval, we write the specifications for brand submittal.

We create the set of interior design drawings for brand submittal.

We prepare and submit the design package to the brand for feedback and approval.

Upon the brand’s approval and your approval, we provide you with the final design package including FF&E and finish specifications, FF&E budget, interior design drawings, and final renderings (if desired).

Reselections to FF&E/finishes or revisions to the design may be requested by the brand and a resubmittal may be required.

Upon the brand’s approval and your approval, we provide you with the final design package including FF&E and finish specifications, FF&E budget, interior design drawings, and final renderings (if desired).

Hilton Garden Inn – Southpointe

Hospitality

Opened in 2001 as one of the first Hilton Garden Inn hotels in the region, the Pittsburgh-Southpointe location offers ease of access to the Pittsburgh International Airport and Downtown Pittsburgh. The 20,000 square foot flexible ballroom space is a popular venue for weddings, trade shows, and seminars. A full renovation was completed in 2019. 

River Vue

Residential

River Vue is a 16-story luxury residential tower prominently located along the Allegheny River in Downtown Pittsburgh, offering residents panoramic city skyline and waterfront views within walking distance of the Cultural District, Market Square, and the city’s major business and entertainment destinations. The property features 218 apartment units and reflects Piatt Companies’ longstanding commitment to high-quality urban residential development and adaptive reuse.
 
Originally constructed as the State Office Building, River Vue underwent a comprehensive renovation and conversion from office space into luxury residential apartments under Piatt Companies’ ownership and management oversight. The transformation preserved the building’s prominent downtown presence while repositioning the asset as a premier residential destination within Pittsburgh’s evolving urban core. Through strategic redevelopment, operational excellence, and a strong focus on resident experience, Piatt Companies helped establish River Vue as a distinguished example of successful downtown adaptive reuse and long-term asset stewardship.

MARKET SQUARE PLACE

Mixed-Use

Located in the heart of Downtown Pittsburgh’s historic Market Square, Market Square Place is a dynamic mixed-use property featuring luxury residential apartments, a 35,000-square-foot UFC Gym, and a diverse collection of street-level retail tenants that contribute to the energy and walkability of Downtown Pittsburgh. The retail mix includes restaurants and casual dining concepts, fine dining establishments, banking services, fitness and wellness offerings, and unique retail experiences featuring integrated podcast studio space. Through proactive property management, Piatt Companies helps preserve the long-term value and performance of the asset by overseeing daily operations, tenant relations, maintenance coordination, and the overall property experience. By maintaining high operational standards and supporting a vibrant urban environment, Piatt contributes to the property’s continued success as a premier downtown destination for residents, retailers, and visitors.

Medical

St . Clair Hospital’s 40,000 square foot outpatient facility in Peters Township opened in 2013.

The center offers a much-needed location for numerous medical services and offices.
