ULI has been influencing the development of the Pittsburgh region since 1989. Don Carter (CMU, Remaking Cities Institute) and Jack Norris (CBRE) started ULI Pittsburgh after they saw the value of ULI and what it could bring to the region. Through the years, there have been eight Advisory Services Panels focusing on developing specific locations including the Cultural District, Point Park University, the East End, McKees Rocks, and the East Shore. ULI Pittsburgh has partnered with PCRG to present the Community Development Summit, now in its 14th year. Our Young Leaders have been active in expanding the reach to members in the early parts of their careers since 2007. Our Women’s Leadership Initiative started in 2011 and has increased our female membership to nearly 40 percent.

With the mission to shape the future of the built environment for transformative impact in communities worldwide, ULI Pittsburgh is positioned to provide thought leadership across the spectrum of real estate products, organizational focus, and services.
