Gateway Center (Pittsburgh)
The Gateway Center is a complex of office, residential, and hotel buildings covering 25 acres (10 ha) in Downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It lies between Commonwealth Place and Stanwix Street at the western edge of the central business district, immediately to the east of Point State Park. Construction of the Gateway Center was one of the earliest urban renewal projects in the United States and part of Pittsburgh's Renaissance I programs which reshaped large sections of the city. The project was developed by the Equitable Life Assurance Society and built between 1950 and 1969. In May 2013, the National Park Service designated a historic district named the "Pittsburgh Renaissance Historic District" which encompasses both the Gateway Center and neighboring Point State Park. All of the Gateway Center buildings were designated as contributing properties in the district except for one, the former State Office Building, which was considered to have lost its architectural integrity due to a 1980s remodeling.
