  • 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.

The study analyzed the existing tourism attractions of the region and then identified gaps and opportunities in Saginaw County, Bay County and Midland County. Based on this analysis, HSP provided specific recommendations for each county to drive hotel room nights, fill gaps in the leisure calendar, and complement the existing assets of the region. Attached is our report. This deliverable has been prepared under the following general assumptions and limiting conditions: § The findings presented herein reflect analysis of primary and secondary sources of information that are assumed to be correct. HSP utilized sources deemed to be reliable, but cannot guarantee their accuracy. § No responsibility is taken for changes in market conditions after the date of this report and no obligation is assumed to revise this report to reflect events or conditions occurring after the date of this report. § HSP has no control over construction costs or timing of construction and opening of any recommended projects. § Macroeconomic events affecting travel and the economy cannot be predicted and may impact the development and performance of any recommended projects. § We have enjoyed serving you on this engagement and look forward to providing you with continuing service.

  • Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Hillel Jewish University Center's Design Comes
    REPRINTED FROM THE PAGES OF TUESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 2001 Jewish Center’s Design Comes from Symbolism and Surroundings By Patricia Lowry Post-Gazette Architecture Critic Like many buildings, the Hillel Jewish University Center, which opened last month in Oakland, began as a line on a page. Then another line, and another, until an idea of what the building might look like took shape. As it turned out, the building is visually richer, more complex and original than those initial sketches, and more responsive to its site. The story of how it evolved over three months is told in a 70-page, spiral-bound book that illuminates the architects’ design process from conception to completion. The product is a building that is strongly contextual, highly symbolic and looks to both the past and the future. “We like to add meaning to our work,” said Dan Rothschild of Rothschild Architects in Regent Square. “We needed a vehicle to meet with our clients across the table to talk about meaning. The strength of the sketchbook is the mix of words and pictures.” Rothschild said he began making these 11-by-14-inch books as a student, fi nding it an effective way to communicate with his teachers. His fi rm, founded 13 trust and client knowledge, and psychologically and emotionally years ago, has produced about their future relationship with – to their users and designers, 80 such books for clients.

  • 'Hoods: Place Branding and the Reconstruction of Identity in Rick Sebak's Pittsburgh Documentaries
    HOUSES, HOT DOGS, AND 'HOODS: PLACE BRANDING AND THE RECONSTRUCTION OF IDENTITY IN RICK SEBAK'S PITTSBURGH DOCUMENTARIES Bryan James McGeary A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2012 Committee: Ellen Berry, Advisor Ellen W. Gorsevski Graduate Faculty Representative Cynthia Baron Scott Magelssen © 2012 Bryan James McGeary All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Ellen Berry, Advisor This project investigates the implementation of place branding theory via documentary filmmaking focused closely on the local characteristics of a place/region. Employing a close reading of WQED filmmaker Rick Sebak’s Pittsburgh History Series focused upon recurrent themes about aspects of Pittsburgh’s unique identity framed in relation to rhetorical approach and documentary techniques, while also noting aspects left out of Sebak’s films, this dissertation demonstrates the progressive potential of publicly funded documentary filmmaking to enable the residents of a given place to rebrand their identity and foster revitalization, independent of the expectations of city planners or corporate sponsors, and without sacrificing the diversity of experiences that give that place its unique character. As a whole, Sebak’s body of work constructs a particular narrative of Western Pennsylvania’s identity that revamps some of the preexisting notions about that identity. As a project of self-definition and self-understanding, the Pittsburgh History Series provides the local populace with some agency in recreating its image, rather than being branded from the outside. The success of this place branding approach to documentary filmmaking for Sebak and Western Pennsylvania suggests that other cities and regions could use it as a model to take greater control of their identities and cultivate renewal.
