It is interesting to note how little of East Liberty's new market-rate development is actually in East Liberty. Much of it is - as the city defines it, either in Shadyside (Eastside Bond, much of Bakery Square) or Larimer (rest of Bakery Square). Really the only substantial market-rate apartments which have opened up in East Liberty proper are the Highland Building rehab, The Penn Walnut on Highland building (man, they need to rebrand) and Coda on Centre (which most people probably think of as Friendship).
The Shady Hill redevelopment is also clearly in Shadyside. The Club One redevelopment is in East Liberty however, as is the site of The Village of Eastside.
I do wonder in another decade or so - when there might be a near continuous band of new development running from the Baum-Centre corridor all the way to Fifth Avenue - if the area will start having its own distinct neighborhood identity.
