The Heinz 57 Center is an office building in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania at the corner of Sixth and Smithfield Avenues.
[7] Saks Fifth Avenue opened its seventh branch location in September 1949 within the Gimbels Pittsburgh Store.
Penzer was able to lease the first two levels of the old store to retailers Burlington Coat Factory, Barnes & Noble Booksellers and Eckerd Drug, but the top 9 floors, 450,000 sq ft (41,806 m2) remained vacant.
[12] Penzer had purchased 12 Pittsburgh buildings in the early 1990s, and during that time gained two orthodox rabbinical business partners, Israel Chait and Walter Friedman.
The revisions included adding an 8-story atrium to bring light to dark interior floors, each over an acre in size.
Heinz Co. leased floors 7 though 14, totaling 310,000 sq ft (28,800 m2) of the newly remodeled building, in order to relocate their North American headquarters.
UPMC's departure from One Chatham Center left the space nearly vacant, driving the property into foreclosure.
