An insider’s look at the buildings and trends driving Pittsburgh’s growth
What is the I-SPY Series?
The I-SPY series is a recurring feature that spotlights buildings, neighborhoods, and trends across Pittsburgh’s commercial real estate market. Designed to be both educational and engaging, it blends visuals, market insights, and fun facts to make CRE approachable for everyone, whether you’re a CEO weighing a lease renewal, a startup leader searching for flexible space, or simply a Pittsburgher curious about the city’s evolving skyline.
Featured Series
We launched I-SPY with a focus on some of the most exciting office buildings and landmarks in Pittsburgh:
- Top Trending Office Buildings in the Strip District
The Strip has quickly become one of the city’s hottest business corridors. In this series, we shine a light on the office properties drawing attention from growing companies, innovators, and talent. - Pittsburgh’s Skyline
From the iconic U.S. Steel Tower to the shimmering glass of PPG Place, Pittsburgh’s skyline tells a story of resilience and reinvention. This series celebrates the architecture and market activity behind the towers that shape our city’s identity. - Steel City Landmarks | Pittsburgh’s Historic Office Icons
Every city has buildings that stand as cultural and economic anchors. This series highlights Pittsburgh’s historic office icons, properties that connect our city’s industrial past to its modern commercial future.
And this is just the beginning. Future I-SPY series will explore industrial facilities, workplace design trends, and neighborhood-by-neighborhood market insights.
