Does the North Shore Connector support North Shore development?
Yes. The North Shore Connector will support and benefit the North Shore’s proposed and existing development. According to Continental Real Estate, the firm chosen to help redevelop the North Shore, there will be $2.3 billion in new construction between the stadiums with approximately 350 apartments and office buildings along with space for retail and service shops. Port Authority closely coordinated the North Shore Connector’s engineering and design with the plans developed by the City of Pittsburgh, Sports & Exhibition Authority, the sports teams and Continental Reality to ensure that the project supports and is compatible with the new and existing development.
