REQUEST FOR INFORMATION
Golden Triangle Reinvestment Fund/Downtown Transit
Revitalization Investment District Project Pipeline
Issue Date:

Proposal Due Date:

1) OBJECTIVE
The Urban Redevelopment Authority of Pittsburgh (“URA”) is currently advancing planning and
implementation activities associated with the proposed Golden Triangle Reinvestment
Fund/Downtown Transit Revitalization Investment District (“TRID”). The TRID is intended to
support strategic infrastructure investment, economic development, office-to-residential
conversion, housing production, commercial activation, public realm improvements, and
transit-oriented development within Downtown Pittsburgh.
As part of the ongoing implementation planning, the URA is issuing this Request for Information
(“RFI”) to better understand the current pipeline of development projects, adaptive reuse
opportunities, and street-level retail activation opportunities that may align with future TRID-
related investments and financing tools.
This RFI is intended to identify development and retail opportunities that may support the
continued revitalization goals of Downtown Pittsburgh and the Golden Triangle Reinvestment
Fund/Downtown TRID. The URA seeks information from developers, development teams,
property owners, and other interested stakeholders regarding projects that advance office
conversion strategies, deliver new housing opportunities, and activate vacant or underutilized
ground-floor retail space. Projects may currently be in the planning, predevelopment, financing,
or implementation stages. The URA is also seeking information regarding current retail
storefront conditions, commercial vacancy, and activation opportunities within the TRID area.
Information gathered through this process may help inform future URA programs, financing
tools, and implementation strategies that support downtown long-term economic activity.
