North Shore Parking Garage
This art deco parking garage is a $21 million facility that holds nearly 1,000 vehicles, supports restaurants and other retail outlets on the ground floor, and maintains a facade that parallels the scale and character of neighboring buildings. The key to the North Shore Garage's success was to responsibly address the demand for parking in this growing area without fracturing the fragile urban fabric in which it would operate.

Palomino Restaurant
Working within the confines of Gateway Center and a five-month completion goal created challenging conditions for this renovation project. Issues such as lobby relocation, mechanical and electrical shutdowns, and the safety of thousands of building occupants were resolved through cooperation among designers, subcontractors and union craftsmen, allowing for the project to be completed on time and within budget.

PNC Firstside Center
Five stories. 650,000 square feet. Six-story atrium tower. Competed $5 million under budget and three months ahead of schedule. The first construction project in Pennsylvania to receive the Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) STAR status by OSHA.

Kirkpatrick & Lockhart LLP Conference Center
This two-floor, 36,000-square-foot renovation project ws completed despite many challenges, since the worksite was within the historic, nearly century-old Oliver Building in downtown Pittsburgh. Adhering to stringent design criteria and dealing with a lack of work and storage space tested the expertise and skills of the project staff. Work included demolition, renovation and mechanical system upgrades, all done without disrupting the law firm's staff. Close coordination among the trades, precise orchestration of manpower and materials, and highly skilled installation techniques were key elements to this project's success.

Bridgeside Point

"PNC is extremely proud of the way the contractor and all of the unions involved came together to construct a building that is the largest certified Green Building in the United States. The project team worked seamlessly to produce a finished building well ahead of schedule and well under budget."

Michael Gilmore
Vice President, Project Management
PNC Financial Services Group

"This high-quality building was completed on time and under budget by the union construction industry of Western Pennsylvania. And without the Bridgeside Point project, Pittsburgh may well have lost Cellomics, our biotechnology tenant that occupies the entire building, to another city."
