Broad Street Plaza
The Broad Street Plaza project will reactivate a key property in the heart of East Liberty into a public gathering space.
The URA, East Liberty Development, Inc., and the East Liberty Chamber of Commerce are reimagining an underutilized parcel in East Liberty, known as Broad Street Plaza.
With the help of the public and strategic stakeholders, the URA is building a dynamic new plaza in the heart of the East Liberty neighborhood. Located between Hotel Indigo and the Kirkland Building, the renovation will reactivate the property into a vibrant community gathering space and enhance the business district experience.
The URA selected Klavon Design Associates, Inc. to manage the design process due to its history of successful public plaza design throughout Pittsburgh. A. Merante Contracting, Inc. is serving as the general contractor for the renovation. Improvements include new landscaping and tree plantings, new fixed and mobile furnishings, and new concrete surfacing.
Kirkland Building stores remain open during construction. Upon the completion of the plaza's renovation, the URA will transfer ownership of the Plaza to the City of Pittsburgh for permanent ownership and maintenance.
