Capitalizing on its proximity to transit and Oakland’s university and medical service market, Bakery Square provided much needed office space to the expanding technology cluster in Pittsburgh. Thanks to the success and expansion of Google and other tenants, technology jobs are being created faster than existing space can accommodate. New office development in Bakery Square 2.0 has fulfilled this need, allowing the technology sector to continue to expand.
Bakery Square 2.0 includes an additional 400,000 square feet of Class A office space. The development also includes 307 high-quality apartments and townhomes. New residents and office workers are connected to the adjacent neighborhoods and Mellon Park through a multi-use bike path.
In addition to the economic impact of the development, the project includes a highly visible green infrastructure demonstration project. The public streets contain raingardens with bioretention soils and gravel infiltration beds and parking lanes with porous pavement that will capture and retain a significant volume of stormwater runoff.
