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.
WE'RE MOVING TO A NEW LOCATION
On December 9-13, 2019, the URA is relocating its offices from 200 Ross Street to 412 Boulevard of the Allies in Downtown Pittsburgh.
During this time, the URA offices at 200 Ross Street will be closed, and staff will have limited availability for meetings. For assistance, please call the URA's main line at 412.255.6600. The URA will be fully closed for an in-service day on December 13 and re-open on December 16 at the new location. Thanks in advance for your patience.
We look forward to working with the Pittsburgh community in our new home at 412 Boulevard of the Allies.
Our Projects

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.
Lower Hill
The 28-acre Lower Hill redevelopment will have a significant impact on the Hill District and entire Pittsburgh region. Part of this redevelopment involves transitioning land currently used as surface parking into a mix of office, retail, and housing, including the creation of a shared parking district.
