Urban Land Institute Pittsburgh will honor McKnight Realty Partners at the 8^th Annual Placemaking Awards for Excellence, presented by First National Bank of Pennsylvania, on Thursday, October 7.

This signature event celebrates projects throughout the Pittsburgh region that showcase best practices in placemaking – a multi-faceted approach to the planning, design, and management of public spaces – and the development teams who bring them to life.  Reservations for in-person and virtual attendance at the awards ceremony can be made at https://pittsburgh.uli.org.

This year’s awards ceremony will be held at The Highline, one of McKnight Realty’s projects that truly exemplifies placemaking through development. It is just one example of why they have been selected as the 2021 honoree.  The Highline at 333 East Carson Street features a one-acre public patio converted from the former rail switchyard and an elevated park-like space that extends to an overhang with gorgeous views of the Monongahela River and the City of Pittsburgh.
