The Roby Family of Cos. and Red Hill Ventures are behind the 75,000-square-foot flex industrial project, now called Steel Yard Row, at 3015 Wilkinson Blvd. As previously reported by CBJ, the development aims to recall the steel manufacturing history of the site, which was once known as “Little Pittsburgh.”
