South Side Works
A mixed-use development to complement East Carson Street
The ongoing South Side Works project will transform the 120-acre former LTV industrial site into offices, apartments, specialty retail stores, a hotel, parking, and entertainment venues. These new shopping, living, and entertainment opportunities will complement the existing lively and vibrant East Carson Street business district.

South Side Works meets rigorous design standards
Pittsburgh City Planning developed a standard set of design guidelines for the South Side Works project to ensure that the project positively complements the existing Local Historic District. Such guidelines imposed on a development project are rare and the result of the neighborhood’s early involvement in the project under the leadership of the South Side Planning Forum.
