DTI Development Inc. (DTI) was founded in 2007 by Dennis Troy, a 20 plus year veteran in both the private and public sectors of the economic development industry.

Mr. Troy served as Director and Deputy Director of Economic Development for Allegheny County where he managed a number of high profile projects, including the mixed use 300-acre site known as the Waterfront and the redevelopment of a 10-acre mixed use site known as Brentwood Town Square. Mr. Troy also served as the lead representative for Allegheny County during negotiations involving new venues for the Pittsburgh Pirates and Steelers. Mr. Troy's success continues in the private sector as evidenced by the vast scope of projects DTI has helped manage and develop.

Some of his most notable work includes his service as the owner's representative for Pitt Ohio Express in the construction of one of the nation's first LEED Certified Trucking and Maintenance Facility projects. Additionally, Mr. Troy represented the May 2009 Cork Factory Lofts Project since its inception. It was later named the Best Redevelopment Project in the U.S. by the Urban Land Institute.

1600 Smallman Street

Through extensive renovation work, the proposed development will utilize the five stories of the building to accommodate for retail and office-space. The first floor will offer 37,500 square feet of premiere retail space, while the second, third and fourth floor will offer a combined 90,360 square feet of office space. The upper-most floor, totaling 7,417 square feet, offers a penthouse-like space that can accommodate several uses, but is preliminary designated as office space. The project also includes a public parking facility with 253 spaces.

Produce Terminal Redevelopment Project

While striving to maintain the historic features of the site, McCaffery Interests, Inc. intends on transforming the Produce Terminal into a mixed-use development. The developmental plan envisions the Produce Terminal housing office space, retail, high scale dining as well as other small businesses and amenities. The current loading dock will be transformed into a raised pedestrian walkway and seating areas to accommodate the dining and retail establishments located in the building.

Heinz II Development Project

In 2005, five of the historic buildings which comprised the Heinz food processing plant, were renovated into what is now known as Heinz Lofts. As one of Pittsburgh’s largest multi-family housing developments at that time, the Heinz Lofts spurred a trend for other housing developments along the Allegheny River. The Heinz II Project will not only restore the historic building on the property, but will also re-vitalize 16th Street at Progress Street and Carpenter Way creating a ‘gateway’ into the Heinz complex, drawing attention to a corner that has been neglected for decades.
