Crawford Square, one of the city’s most celebrated residential developments, is gearing up for an encore.

After sitting vacant for two decades, the last parcels within the Hill District development are set to be completed.

Bridging the Gap Development LLC is proposing to build six for-sale townhouses on the 12 tracts, finishing off work that started back in the 1990s.

Pittsburgh Urban Redevelopment Authority board members are expected to vote Thursday on whether to enter into exclusive talks with Bridging the Gap for the sale of the parcels on Wylie Avenue, Peach Way and Manilla and Roberts streets.
