In an attempt to attract new tenants, developers are planning a major makeover of the currently vacant building at 4870 McKnight Road.

The Ross Planning Commission has approved installation of an external insulated facade system (EIFS) for the building located at McKnight at Siebert Roads. At one time, it housed the Berkeley Hills Pharamacy and a mattress store.

The property is being redeveloped by the real estate brokerage firm CB Richard Ellis. According to an online real estate listing, the Shoppes at McKnight-Siebert offers a 9,656 square foot retail space which can be subdivided to meet a tenant's needs.

The building and 31,468 square foot lot is valued at $1,003,000 and is owned by Weidner N H Inc., according to the Allegheny County Real Estate web site. 

No word on when the facade restoration work will begin.
