BNY Mellon Center (Pittsburgh)

BNY Mellon Center is a 55-story skyscraper located at 500 Grant Street in downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

The naming rights originally went to the Pittsburgh manufacturing firm Dravo Corporation and was to serve as their leased headquarters space (while still owned by U.S. Steel).

After the recession of the late 1970s and early 1980s combined with the rapid deindustrialization of the 1980s, Dravo was bought out by a foreign conglomerate and its regional facilities were shuttered.

U.S. Steel, having diversified into oil and other industries, sold the almost completed skyscraper on February 16, 1983, to a Connecticut Limited Partnership, the 500 Grant Street Partners, for what was then the second-largest real estate purchase in Western Pennsylvania history.

It also makes cameos in Sudden Death, Striking Distance and the 2010 rap video "Black and Yellow".
