Visions For Vacancy: 551 Blazier Drive

The former Bally's Health Club has been vacant for more than a year.

Fidelity Bank owns two large buildings along Blazier Drive in McCandless. One of them, Trader Horn, has enjoyed a steady customer base for years. The other, not so much. 

The last long-term tenant of 551 Blazier Drive was Bally's Health club. When LA Fitness opened in McCandless Crossing, Bally's quickly closed.

Fidelity paid $4,000,000 in 2011 for the 19 acre site, according to the Allegheny County real estate web site. The site lists the currently property value at $2,850,000.

Bruce Betty, Land Use Administrator for the town of McCandless, said there are no current plans for the property, but officials are hoping eventually to redevelop the entire area.
