“The city of Pittsburgh has gone through a major renaissance and become a very attractive market for real estate investors worldwide,” says Alexander Joerg, director at ING Real Estate Finance (USA), in a statement.
In 1925, urban planner & historian Lewis Mumford described four “great tides” of migration that reflected the economic transformation of the US. Eight decades later, Robert Fishman (professor of architecture & urban planning at the University of Michigan) noted the large-scale return of people to global cities, labeling it the Fifth Migration. Today’s great tide, the Sixth Migration, is ebbing from global cities & towards a better quality of life.

Pittsburgh Commercial Real Estate Boom
You want a piece of Pittsburgh's revitalization? Invest in the Golden Triangle:
ING secured a $43 million loan for Westinghouse Tower "capital expenditures". I got the story backwards. ING is the lender. Munich-based GLL Real Estate Partners owns the building and secured the loan. According to the above article, the money comes on the heels of $25 million spent improvements to the building. That's a lot of money for a dying downtown bleeding population.
