River Avenue Distribution and Technology District is a transformative project aiming to revitalize the historically significant former H.J. Heinz into a modern, functional warehouse. This multi-phase development offers two fully renovated modern Class A warehouse and flex buildings —Building 7 and Building 8 — along with research and development space positioned along the scenic Allegheny River. Buildings 7 and 8 represent the first chapter in a project that continues to build relevance to the Northern Pittsburgh area. Ideal users include last-mile distribution, flex/tech users, value- add manufacturing, biotech, autonomous development and research, and more.
Phase I of the River Avenue Distribution and Technology District offers a total of 300,000 square feet of Class A warehouse with a minimum divisibility of 10,000 square feet and a maximum of 200,000 square feet and includes a contiguous internal 600-vehicle parking garage.
Building 7 is a 141,615-square-foot property, subdividable to 50,000 square feet, featuring a 25-foot clear ceiling height, one drive-in door, 10 dock doors featuring overhead doors with dock shelters, dock lights, 60,000-pound mechanical levels, and additional dock potential.
Building 8 is a 141,460-square-foot property featuring a 29-foot clear ceiling height and seven dock doors with dock shelters, dock lights and 60,000-pound mechanical levels.
Both buildings have all-new LED lighting and ESFR 4-zone service. AFP- 1010 intelligent fire detection control system with combo audio visual, signal and strobe lights fire protection system. An on-site parking garage accommodates 600 vehicles and potential tractor-trailer staging. Phase 2 will feature state-of-the-art flex/research and development space with unparalleled views of the Allegheny River and the constantly evolving Strip District.
River Avenue Distribution and Technology District is an in-fill location providing exceptional accessibility and proximity to major thoroughfares and area amenities. Ideally located along the Allegheny River, this project thrives in an advantageous location with quick and convenient access to Pittsburgh's Central Business District, public transportation, and rail service. Within a five-minute drive is unmatched access to the Strip District (Robotics Row), Lawrenceville, Downtown Pittsburgh, and primary transportation arteries such as Interstates 279 and 579, as well as Route 28. When high-end work environments, connectivity, and convenience are key, River Avenue Distribution and Technology District is the ideal destination.
