A full rehabilitation of Pittsburgh’s Produce Terminal is expected to be completed in August of 2020.

This is a classic short term pain for long term gain. Mayor Bill Peduto says the transformation of the old Produce Terminal is inspiring. “We’re not tearing it down. We’re going to polish her up. We’re going to give her a brand new use. And this building will be the lifeblood of the regeneration and rejuvenation all along the Allegheny River,” the mayor said. “There are very few places that are more Pittsburgh than the terminal building. This place just is the very fabric of what we are.”

The authority worked for nearly 10 years to hand off ownership of the landmark Produce Terminal to a developer that would transform it into a viable amenity. “It’s been a very long, arduous process.
