Eighth & Penn is a mixed-use residential development located in Downtown Pittsburgh’s Cultural District. The project combines two historic buildings from the 1890s with intentional new construction to create a cohesive 140-unit community.

From the street, the development looks like a series of distinct façades that reflect the scale and rhythm of the surrounding district. At the rear of the site, the copper-clad “Jewel Box” anchors the development and supports one of the city’s largest residential roof decks.

SQR, a signature public-art installation by artist Erwin Redl, highlights the project. This glowing light bridge between the Jewel Box and the main building cements the project’s status as a bold, modern space for urban living that still respects the city’s architectural history.

• As an homage to its location in the Cultural District, Eighth & Penn features extensive locally commissioned artwork.
• The historic McNally and Bonn building names remain visible near the cornices along Penn Avenue.
