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. 16 RETAIL AND RESTAURANTS Sincerely, Jeremy Waldrup Lucas Piatt 20 HOTEL, CULTURE AND ENTERTAINMENT President and CEO Chairperson VE TH A E NOR VE TH A W NOR VE TH A E NOR N COMMONS State of Downtown Pittsburgh is CEDAR TRANSPORTATION AND CONNECTIVITY AVE E OHIO ST TH W NOR A VE N COMMONS 9 E COMMONS 1-27 26 COMMONS W State of Downtown Pittsburgh is AVE RIDGE CEDAR produced by the Pittsburgh Downtown E OHIO ST A VE 9 E COMMONS 1-27 W COMMONS W AVE RIDGE produced by the Pittsburgh Downtown AVE ON DA STOCKT VID MCCULLOUGH BRIDGE S COMMONS Partnership.
