    From the Pittsburgh Business Times: https://www.bizjournals.com/pittsburgh/news/2020/03/27/pashmans-viewpoint-pittsburgh-leadership-in-a-time.html Pashman's Viewpoint: Pittsburgh leadership in a time of crisis Mar 27, 2020, 7:32am EDT Across our region, Pittsburghers from all walks of life are leading each day, helping us chart a course in unfamiliar waters. These leaders’ commitment to our regional community during this unprecedented time will help ensure that COVID-19 – challenging on many levels and for so many people – will not define who we are. This viral pandemic has dealt an incredible blow. While we may be reeling from that blow, we’re also rising up, lifting each other as we climb. Perhaps at no other time in Pittsburgh’s history has coming together in partnership to address the needs of our regional community been more important. The demand is great for those who lead professionally, as well as those who lead in ALLEGHENY CONFERENCE everyday ways. We need medical experts, CEOs, educators, mayors, faith leaders, Stefani Pashman is CEO of the philanthropists, researchers and many others to step forward. In these times of uncertainty, we’re calling on your share of experience and wisdom, along with your Allegheny Conference on compassion, empathy, hope and patience. We need your gifted ability to create Community Development. solidarity and to inspire and unleash innovation. The Pittsburgh region is a place where leadership has always been defined by a shared commitment to community. Within the last two weeks, we have witnessed many rise to the occasion across our region.

  • 2019 State of Downtown Pittsburgh
    20 STATE OF DOWNTOWN PITTSBURGH19 TABLE OF CONTENTS For the past eight years, the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership has been pleased to produce the State of Downtown Pittsburgh Report. This annual compilation and data analysis allows us to benchmark our progress, both year over year and in comparison to peer cities. In this year’s report, several significant trends came to light helping us identify unmet needs and better understand opportunities for developing programs and initiatives in direct response to those challenges. Although improvements to the built environment are evident in nearly every corridor of the Golden Triangle, significant resources are also being channeled into office property interiors to meet the demands of 21st century companies and attract a talented workforce to Pittsburgh’s urban core. More than $300M has been invested in Downtown’s commercial office stock over the 4 ACCOLADES AND BY THE NUMBERS last five years – a successful strategy drawing new tenants to Downtown and ensuring that our iconic buildings will continue to accommodate expanding businesses and emerging start-ups. OFFICE, EMPLOYMENT AND EDUCATION Downtown experienced a 31% growth in residential population over the last ten years, a trend that will continue with the opening 6 of hundreds of new units over the next couple of years. Businesses, from small boutiques to Fortune 500 companies, continued to invest in the Golden Triangle in 2018 while Downtown welcomed a record number of visitors and new residents. HOUSING AND POPULATION 12 Development in Downtown is evolving and all of these investments combine to drive the economic vitality of the city, making Downtown’s thriving renaissance even more robust.
