Developer working toward new venue

CANONSBURG - The firm that is developing Southpointe II is beginning a study for what a company official called a "junior convention center."
Michael Swisher, a partner in Horizon Properties, made the announcement Monday at the Southpointe Trade Show lunchtime gathering at Southpointe Golf Club.
"We're happy to have the business here at the club, but we think that business should be 10 times as big as it is," Swisher said.
He called the venue "a great environment to have small shows, small weddings, large weddings, and gatherings of social and fraternal organizations and entertainment such as concerts and wrestling matches" in 90,000 to 100,000 square feet.
The study by HBS International will be conducted during the next three months.
Swisher also said Horizon is very close to completing a business agreement for a 14-screen movie theater.
"I can't tell who the operator is." Swisher said. "The lease is, like, days away from being signed."
Southpointe II will offer a combination of restaurants and retail along with its movie theater, similar to what moviegoers find at the Waterfront in Homestead and the South Side Works.
"You'll see construction this summer, and the project will probably open late '09, early 2010," Swisher said.
At the 217-acre Southpointe II, a new headquarters for Consol Energy is under construction, and other offices are planned.
"To have Consol move from Allegheny County to Washington County sends a pretty strong message that Washington County is open for business," Swisher said. "The time is right, obviously, in Washington County for growth."
Swisher estimated the "daytime population" of Southpointe at close to 3,000. With Southpointe II factored in, Swisher said he expects that figure to double within five years.
Housing, retailers, Cambria Suites hotel and an extended-stay Homewood Suites hotel are also planned, but Swisher said Monday he was unable to name specific retailers.
