PITTSBURGH — Auditor General Jack Wagner will be reviewing the Pennsylvania’s Department of General Service’s agreement to sell the State Office Building for $4.6 million. According to Wagner, the sale price will put undue burden on the state’s taxpayers and since it will not produce enough of a profit to offset the costs of moving expenses and leasing fees for the new locations in downtown Pittsburgh. Situated on 1.3 acres in downtown Pittsburgh, the State Office Building features 274,000 square feet at the entrance of Point State Park. The 16-story structure is slated to be sold to River Vue Associates of Canonsburg, Pa.
