Former RG Steel building in Wheeling up for sale

By Philip Stahl and The Associated Press

WHEELING, W.Va. —


The former RG Steel building in downtown Wheeling is up for sale for $900,000.



The 13-story building was built in 1905 and had once served as the headquarters of Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel.



Jay Goodman with Harvey Goodman Realtors said the building is in "great shape" and several out-of-state companies have expressed interest in the building. Goodman said he got the listing in late December, The Associated Press reported.



The building, located in the heart of downtown on Market Street, has been the headquarters for the local steel industry for a very long time.



"So far, we have had three interested parties, none of them local, but one is looking at office space, the other two are talking about the possibility of making the building into a housing complex," Goodman told NEWS9.



RG Steel officially vacated the building late last year. Goodman said that everything left inside will go with the sale.

"There is furniture, brass and marble fixtures; it all goes with the buyer," said Goodman.



RG Steel formed in 2011 when Wheeling-Pitt's former operations were combined with Bethlehem Steel's former Sparrows Point mill in Baltimore and the former WCI Steel plant in Warren, Ohio. RG Steel filed for bankruptcy protection in May 2012.
