rethink redevelopment
The Urban Redevelopment Authority is here for Pittsburgh.
We're here for a thriving downtown. A sustainable environment. Thousands of jobs.
Each place the URA touches marks Pittsburgh's progress towards a bright future.
Our Projects
Smallman St. & Produce Terminal
The Smallman St. and Produce Terminal projects pay homage to the area’s past as the central hub for the region’s wholesale produce while bringing new life to this iconic part of the Strip District. These projects are anticipated to make the Smallman Street corridor (between 16th and 21st Streets) a safer, more engaging destination and add 160,000 square feet of mixed-use commercial and retail space, including 40,000 square feet for local and regional businesses and a "food centric" marketplace.
Centre Avenue
The Centre Avenue Corridor project will lay the foundation for the transformation of 170 vacant or idle properties into multiple commercial, residential and office spaces over the next several years.
Liberty Green Park
Liberty Green is a proposed new neighborhood park on 3.25 acres of underutilized land at the intersection of the Larimer and East Liberty neighborhoods.
