NORTH SHORE (KDKA) — The building that once housed the Allegheny Center Mall and a Woolworths was given new life as a co-working tech space at its official opening Wednesday. The 50,000 square foot space, called Nova Place, is now home to Alloy 26. The building offers space to entrepreneurs and start-ups looking for high-tech offices and amenities. Interested companies join on a month-to-month membership basis, which gives companies a flexible space to work without being bound by a long-term lease.
