TERMINAL HISTORY
“We are honored to sponsor and host Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix’s luxury vintage car show at The Strip District Terminal this year,” said Dean Welch McCaffery, Vice President of Pittsburgh Operations. “In addition to the world-class automotive showcase, which the iconic five-block-long Terminal space is ideal for, we are proud to support the Grand Prix’s charitable mission, which has a profound positive impact directly in our community.”
THE STRIP HISTORIC DISTRICT
While the Strip Historic District initially developed in the mid-nineteenth century as an industrial center with numerous iron mills, foundries and factories, its street patterns and architecture reflect the neighborhood’s history as the epicenter of the regional produce industry and the hub for specialty food products. The Strip District Terminal opened in 1929 as the Pennsylvania Railroad Fruit Auction & Sales Building to serve the tri-state area as a produce distribution hub. Iconic in length and design, the terminal functioned as the economic heart of the Strip District for more than 40 years.
ABOUT THE TERMINAL
The iconic Terminal was formerly the central hub for the regional wholesale produce industry in Pittsburgh’s bustling Strip District neighborhood. Chicago-based developer McCaffery, in partnership with the Urban Redevelopment Authority and the City of Pittsburgh, has restored the historic building’s energy and vitality. Offering approximately 160,000 square feet of new retail and restaurant experiences, improved pedestrian access, and a hub for community events, the expansive structure is, once again, a commercial, people-centric destination.
