Liberty East, In the Works
Pittsburgh, PA
East Liberty, five miles east of downtown Pittsburgh, was Pennsylvania’s third‑largest shopping district in the 1940s and 1950s, popularly referred to as the “Second Downtown.” Emerging from the decline of the 1970s, it is quickly establishing its position as the center of technology, culture, and lifestyle in Pittsburgh. MV+A is fortunate to play a part in this emergence by planning and designing approximately 10 acres in a multiphase approach. The masterplan features a variety of uses including grocery stores, high‑end consumer retail, office and multifamily apartments, all planned to recreate a true mixed‑use neighborhood reminiscent of the rich urban tapestry historically prevalent in East Liberty.
