PITTSBURGH (AP) - A development company thinks it has a recipe for success at the former Nabisco bakery plant in Pittsburgh.

Walnut Capital Partners of Pittsburgh is considering a mixed-use development at the former cracker factory. The project would include retail, office, residential and hotel spaces.

"Those are the four uses that make the most sense in that trade area," Anthony Dolan, a principal of the company, told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.

But the plans are at such an early stage the company is not putting a price tag or a timetable on them.

The former plant has been vacant been vacant since Bake-Line Group of Oak Brook, Ill., a private-label cracker maker, declared bankruptcy in 2004, idling 290 workers. The building has five giant conveyor ovens.
