PNC to build new 'eco-friendly' headquarters Downtown
Monday, May 23, 2011
By Mark Belko, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette


The location of the Tower at PNC Plaza will be between PPG Place and the U.S. Steel building.

PNC Financial Services Group will build the world's "most environmentally friendly skyrise" Downtown to serve as its new, $400 million worldwide headquarters.

The bank announced plans for the building during a press conference this afternoon at the Fairmont Hotel.

The building will be about 40 stories high and will be called the Tower at PNC Plaza. PNC hopes to exceed the highest level of certification offered by the U.S. Green Building Council.

Gary Saulson, director of corporate real estate for PNC, said construction would begin next year and should be completed in mid 2015. The "skyrise," as Mr. Saulson dubbed it, will house about 3,000 employees.
