Current Situation
One acre of unused outdoor space looms 840ft above Pittsburgh making the top of the US Steel
Tower the tallest point in the city. In a city known for its spectacular evening views and
green initiatives, this space poses an excellent place for the development of an environmentally friendly, self sustaining, and publicly accessible
observation point.

“In addition to the $2.5 billion already invested in downtown riverfront development over the past five years, some $400 million in new commercial development is scheduled. Add to that an already major influx of more than 3,200 new Downtown residents. They will all need outdoor space where they can spend their time and money.” – Economic Development, www.pointstatepark.com
