Yesterday,
250 joined us at the Pittsburgh Fairmont for our first-ever event in "The Town Formerly Known as Steel City." The city is
booming (and not just because the
Pirates have clinched a winning season for the
first time in 20 years). Downtown
office vacancy has been cut to
6% from
14% in '09. Panelists say the story can be "
read on the rooftops," since so many new companies have invigorated downtown with both their presence and giant
signage. And hope is high for tech:
Google has mushroomed its original presence at Carnegie Mellon to
600 employees and
130k SF, with hopes for much more.
