Tishman Speyer to redevelop 178-acre site in Pittsburgh

Tishman Speyer has been appointed to transform the 178-acre site, former steel-mill site, Hazelwood Green in Pittsburgh, into a global center for new facilities for science and engineering research.

The owner is the Almono Limited Partnership and Carnegie Mellon University. The Almono Limited Partnership consists of a joint venture of the Richard King Mellon Foundation, The Heinz Endowments, and the Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation.
