Honoring our History and Building our Future
Eighth & Penn consists of the restoration of two existing historic buildings at 711 and 713 Penn Avenue. The McNally Building (711 Penn Ave) and the Bonn Building (713 Penn Ave) have been fixtures of downtown Pittsburgh since the 1890's and are turn-of-the-century, masonry buildings, rich with historic character.
The facades and storefronts of these buildings have been restored, with the interiors renovated to provide space for rental apartment units & other amenities. The addition forms a continuation of the Penn Avenue streetscape, fusing the existing parking lot at the corner of 8th & Penn with new construction that is modern, but sympathetic to the historic buildings.
The TREK/Q Development project at Eighth Street ...is an excellent example of a development that is inclusive of the broader community in its planning and execution, and will encourage more growth and development within the District in the years ahead, further reinforcing the goal of making the urban core a vibrant place to work, live and play.
Eighth & Penn is located in Pittsburgh’s Cultural District and is surrounded by cultural attractions including restaurants, theaters, galleries and art installations. Enjoy close proximity to the Strip District, PNC Park, Heinz Field, Stage AE, Point State Park, Market Square, the Convention Center, Kayak Pittsburgh and the Northshore.
