River Vue

River Vue is a 16-story residential building at 300 Liberty Avenue with 218 apartments that overlook Point State Park. The units range from mid-rise apartments at around 750 square feet to high-rise apartments at around 1,028 square feet (70 to 95 square meters) with waterfront views.

The building was completed in 1957 as the Pittsburgh State Office Building, serving as an administrative center for many years. A major renovation transformed it into residential apartments after a change in ownership.

The building marks a shift in how downtown Pittsburgh is used, moving from office functions to homes for people working in the city. Residents here are part of a broader trend of city centers becoming residential neighborhoods.

The building sits downtown and offers good walkability with direct access to parks, restaurants, and employment areas. Visitors should know that public access is limited since this is a private residential building.

The building started as a state office and underwent extensive renovation to become modern apartments. This transformation shows how older government buildings can be repurposed for residential living.
