While Pittsburgh office space<\/a> has become some of the greenest in the country<\/a>, the local economy has also adapted to make room for a thriving tech scene, a growing robotics hub, and even companies operating in the space industry. Now, another transformation is underway in one of the city\u2019s most historic districts as developers are uniting to create a new tech corridor connecting major AI and technology companies on Penn Avenue.<\/p>\n
