It's so fun to see what antique and modern items get donated here. We bought a new fridge for $1000, a black electric stove/oven for $250, a bucket of primer, a six piece kitchen cabinet set that looked medieval for $245. I purchased a bunch of gold phantom of the opera esque light fixtures for $10 to $25 a piece. All in all, it's fun to get lost here. Save the world, shop sustainable, produce less waste, bring your stuff here if someone can use it instead of a landfill.

This is definitely not a shopping destination by any means.

What they really should name this place is Scott Service Center. The destinations up here lean more to the services. There are several medical type offices, what I believe to be a printing service area and a few restaurants. There might be one store up here, I believe and Asian market, but I could be wrong, don't quote me on that. Definitely not a place that you drive out of your way to come to. You really need a reason to come into this plaza. The most notable thing in this center is Mad Mex. Of course I would notice that.

I came to Alloy 26 to co-work with my colleagues for a few days. I'm sure the experience as a…read moreregular member versus being a drop-in visitor is different, but overall, I thought this co-working space was just okay and if I have a choice I won't go back. It's advertised on their website that they have "fresh coffee, snacks, and drinks". This was not my experience. The only snacks I saw were a few bags of pretzels. There were two coffee options - one automated machine and a drip coffee in the lobby. The automated machine coffee was stale and flavorless. The drip coffee was fresh and tasted good overall but only accesible for a few hours of the day. I went to the lobby to get coffee around 1-2 PM and it had already been put away for the day. There were no other drinks to my knowledge. The convenience store, Eco Bistro, which is right next door and has soft drinks, snacks and drip coffee, closes at 1 or 2 o'clock every day. There are other coffee shops nearby but I wasn't comfortable walking around on my own in this area of town. Plan accordingly if you want snacks or use the vending machines in the coworking space. The private phone booths were comfortable and sound proof but so hot. There was zero air flow in these booths and I personally couldn't be in one for longer than 5-10 minutes at a time without having to open and close the door to let some air in. The open desk areas were nice and spacious and the chairs were super comfortable. I particularly liked the open booth seating. The temperature throughout the rest of the space was comfortable. There was also at least one walking desk which was really cool to use! Pro space: if you're just dropping in, ask the front desk for a key. Just keep in mind you'll have to return the key before 5 pm when they leave work. The coworking space stays open past 5 but you won't have your key. I think Alloy 26 is a nice enough space but really has some kinks to work out. There's very little natural light throughout the space and the desks that are near the windows (which have an amazing view of PNC Park) are sparse or non-existent. I would suggest adding more proper desk spaces by the windows for people to work. I also wasn't sure of the cleanliness of the space. There were few (if any) disinfectant wipes around to clean surfaces after someone had previously used them that same day. I do know they clean and disinfect at night and the space overall is clean and doesn't have any visible issues. Finally, I recommend taking advantage of the multiple security guards working in the building if you're concerned about panhandlers and harassment. The woman running the front desk told me that security is happy to escort you to your car or to different nearby areas on premise. This area of town has some growing pains and it's best to know that security is widely available should you need it.

I personally never placed myself with my team inside the four walls of this place. My executive…read moreassistant asked of me to step up and make the awkward experience known from way back sometime ago. First and foremost we don't have any affiliation with the Alloy 26 whatsoever. Our team now is housed in Shadyside area's corporate owned offices. Apparently as I were told by several that a chief of some sort runs around the facility like on a mission. Then outside guests take over the place with total disregard for those who pay monthly for the space. Even the break area is taken over by non renters. The place is like a community center run like a public library. I urge those to think twice before considering this place. I have extended my up most apologies to all those that had to experience this awful time and place. I now consider this matter closed and move on.

I have never worked or lived here, but years ago I was a customer of Brooke Rockwell Hair Design, and most recently I was a customer of the Federal Galley food hall and a parking garage. I liked the foods and the service, and I thought that the prices were OK. I deducted one star from this review because when I first visit a business here, I feel slightly confused about where it is located, and I must figure out where to walk.

There's a huge lobby area with a handful of large meeting tables and a some chairs and couches to have a casual meeting at. I've rented out their conference rooms before, which vary in size from a 6-10ish size to a larger board meeting type space. There's obviously different size office spaces you can rent as well. They're not walled off, but have more of a bank teller type feel with solid walls and then glass higher up. Basically it's not necessarily private. There's also some smaller individual "phone booth" type spaces for privacy. I did the flex plan and paid for 3 people total and it was around $250, but I think we worked out a small deal too. Not cheap, but not the most expensive in the city either. They have coffee and tea, and a little bit of fruit, but that's it with food amenities. There's also a small kitchen for everyone to use with silverware and fridges. It's a great central location downtown by Boulevard of the Allies and I'd happily rent space again, as it's month to month contracts. I wish it was something I could afford to do more often, but I'm glad to know it's there when needed and would recommend it to others looking for space.

I viewed the Pitt Building last week for the owners of my company. We are looking for office space/…read moreco-working space. I have gone to almost every co-working space within the downtown area, and I can confidently say that the Beauty Shoppe in the Pitt Building is the most beautiful space out there. It is straight out of Pinterest, deep rich colors, architectural decor, and even the bathrooms are perfect. The two people that gave me the tour (Jesse and Marissa) were also the two nicest people I met on all of my tours. Offices were generous, and there are several different types of co-working spaces (offices, desks, open areas). Unfortunately, this space is not going to work for us (a little far of a walk), but all things considered Beauty Shoppe is at the top of my list. You should definitely check it out if you have time.

We parked our vehicle in the garage for two nights. The price for parking was a bit expensive, so I deducted one star from my review.

Almost $2k for a view of the other building, no in-unit washer/dryer, and older appliances compared to the other buildings in the complex? No thank you. There are plenty of other buildings that will give you more bang for your buck or if you are ok with this price range, there are other buildings in East Liberty that are better quality. The management office also feels that it isn't an invasion of privacy to schedule tours for prospective residents for the exact unit you want WHILE you are living there as soon as you mention you're moving out. So unprofessional. You get 24 hours notice before a tour. Why give notice at all if you're just going to show up anyway? I've never seen this done in other buildings I've lived in before. It makes the vibe more business-like than actually living in a community. All they care about is your money. I really do like Walnut Capital overall, but the Walnut on Highland property itself is overpriced and unprofessional in their policies and communication with residents.
