After years of waiting, condo lovers finally can make their dream come true to have a condo in Mt.Washington. It has been 20 years. And now the project is going to be started. the developer will allocate $6 million to carry the project.

The six-story, 11-unit building to be visible next to St. Mary of the Mount Church on Grandview Avenue is being built by Daniele R. DiPardo. It is scheduled to open by the summer or fall of 2009. The project — named Vista Grande — is located at 501 Grandview.

“This project is something I wanted to do for some time. It will offer one of the greatest views we have,” said DiPardo, a Bethel Park resident, who will move back to the city in the penthouse of Vista Grande. He grew up in Oakland.

DiPardo said financing for the project has been arranged and prices will start in the mid-$500,000s. It is believed to be the tallest condo project on Mt. Washington since the 25-story Trimont towers on Grandview was completed in 1986.
