Located in the Manchester Historical District of Pittsburgh, Page Place is a multi-unit apartment complex, designed specifically to address the needs of non-elderly, physically disabled persons, including those with HIV, AIDS, and ARC. Its features include complete handicap accessibility, as well as internal supportive medical and counseling services for its occupants.

Working closely with the community and with the City Historic Review Commission, the design of the three-story, 21-unit building was developed with sensitivity to its surrounding Victorian-era neighborhood.Although it was constructed with contemporary fire-resistive structural components, such as pre-cast floor plank and masonry bearing walls, Page Place presents the appearance of a classic multi-occupant row structure, with a rusticated base, large vertical windows, and a mansard roof with dormers. In addition, the building’s scale respects the proportions of the neighboring structures and provides a visual end to Page Street.
