The Tower at PNC Plaza

Located in the heart of Pittsburgh, as the greenest building in the world opened in October 2015- The Tower at PNC Plaza- is hosting more than 2,000 PNC corporate headquarters employees. The 33-story tower defined new standards for the most innovative building design and technology methods used. Above grade is used as PNC's headquarters office space, and the subgrade levels are service as parking. Designers of The Tower beautifully executed PNC's pioneer spirits and environmentally friendly values by marrying architecture and engineering.
