Dive Brief:
Placemakr will expand to Pittsburgh with a 240-unit redevelopment that will include both residential units and short-term lodging, the Washington, D.C.-based company announced Wednesday. 
The new location is in downtown Pittsburgh’s historic Pennsylvanian building, directly connected to the city’s Amtrak station and close to the David L. Lawrence Convention Center. 
Placemakr is one of several companies expanding in the apartment-style accommodations space as guests seek more flexible options. The company, which is expanding across the U.S., became profitable last June.
