Bakery Square or BKSQ is a new $150 million development on the site of the former Nabisco Plant in the Larimer section of the city by Walnut Capital of Shadyside. To me it's really sad how people are trying to take over and rename urban areas of the city. This area is now know as "Eastside" for East Liberty and Shadyside.
As of right now there isn't to much open. On June 14, 2010 Urban Active Fitness opened a 47,000 square foot facility the first Urban Active location in Pennsylvania. Anthopologie, a women's clothing store is is open. Google Inc. is moving their CMU office to Bakery Square as well. Pottery Barn will be relocating to Bakery Square from Walnut Street in Shadyside. It will join sister store West Elm furniture. There is also a 110-room Marriott Spring Hill Suites hotel on site.
Neiman Marcus is in talks of opening a mini, smaller version of one their stores on the site as well which would be the second Neiman Marcus in Pennsylvania besides the one in King of Prussia. A few restaurants are in the works as well.
All in all BKSQ reminds me of a mini South Side Works. There is a large parking garage in the rear of the property as well.
We'll see how it goes.
