About Terminal 21

HomeApartments in PittsburghDowntown Pittsburgh Terminal 21

A distinct Pittsburgh landmark, constructed in 1921 in the midst of the downtown skyline and the Monongahela River, Terminal 21 originated as a focal point where produce and livestock met rail and industrial industries. The decades have seen this freight terminal and warehouse shift in focus to residential living, and its industrial form has long resonated with visitors and residents. Originally put to a different, industrial use, but now re-purposed to meet the current needs of a constantly evolving city, Terminal 21 fits with Pittsburgh's culture of reinvention. Industry was once the heart that drove the energy of the city. Now, the emerging technological economy means room for growth within the community and for the professionals who live in it. With a comfortable modern feel inspired by the site's local heritage and history, Terminal 21 allows you to make the most of urban living. Centrally located, and primed for easy access to attractions and events throughout the city, Terminal 21 is still the center of a vibrant community and a welcoming stop on life's journey.
