The city of Wheeling plans to raze the former Chase Bank building, at left, to build a new parking garage â estimated to be at least six decks tall â to support the private development of the Historic Wheeling-Pitt Lofts in the former Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel headquarters.
WHEELING Movement on the $30 million Wheeling-Pitt Lofts project in downtown Wheeling has already started a domino effect of investment expected to continue in the future, transforming a city block that for the most part has remained vacant for years.
Earlier this year developer Steve Coon of Coon Restoration and Sealants, along with Dr. John Johnson, owner of the former Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel headquarters building, announced their plans to move forward with a long-awaited redevelopment of the city’s tallest building into a 12-story apartment complex to be known as the Historic Wheeling-Pitt Lofts.
