U.S. Steel Tower, Skyscraper in Downtown Pittsburgh, US
The triangular U.S. Steel Tower reaches 256 meters with 64 floors, making it the tallest building in Pittsburgh with one acre of space per floor.
The building opened in September 1971 as a corporate headquarters, marking the peak of Pittsburgh's steel industry before the 1973 oil crisis affected manufacturing.
The exterior columns showcase Cor-ten steel, manufactured at U.S. Steel Homestead Works, representing Pittsburgh's industrial heritage through architectural innovation.
The structure contains 210,000 square meters of leasable space, with UPMC occupying 46,000 square meters as the largest tenant in the building.
The building features water-filled columns for fireproofing, enabling exposed structural steel construction methods previously impossible in high-rise architecture.
