PITTSBURGH — CBRE has arranged a 20,000-square-foot office lease for the Urban League of Greater Pittsburgh at Warner Centre, located at 332 Fifth Ave. in downtown Pittsburgh. The agency will occupy the entire fourth floor of the building. CBRE’s Christopher Koch, leasing agent for Warner Centre, negotiated the lease on behalf of the building’s owner, JJ Operating Inc., a family-owned real estate investment and management company based in New York City.
The Urban League of Greater Pittsburgh, which recently celebrated its 100th anniversary, plans to occupy Warner Centre this summer. The move will provide the agency with the efficiency of operating on a single floor versus multiple floors at its existing Wood Street location. Warner Centre is situated in the center of downtown Pittsburgh, located next to the newly completed Point Park Playhouse. The landlord recently made improvements to the lobby of Warner Centre and plans to make upgrades to the elevators beginning this year.
The mission of the Urban League is to enable African Americans to secure economic self-reliance, parity and power, and civil rights. The HUD-certified housing counseling agency offers a wide variety of programs.
