Lawrenceville, Pittsburgh Neighborhood Retail Space, Service Businesses

The Right Spot for Retail and Service

Since the mid-1990s, Lawrenceville’s business districts have evolved into a buzz-worthy and balanced business mix. So, what’s going on here?

Independently owned businesses. Our commercial district charms spring directly from the bold vision of our business owners. Lawrenceville embraces entrepreneurs: Our residents take pride in supporting locally owned businesses, and shoppers make the trip to find the distinctive products and superior customer service that you’ll only find in a homegrown environment.

Chic boutiques. Our affordable space and artistic inclinations have established Lawrenceville as a prime regional location for art galleries, gift shops, forward-thinking fashion, and hip home furnishings, drawing customers from communities such as Squirrel Hill/Shadyside, Fox Chapel/Aspinwall, the North Hills, and THE South Hills.

Neighborhood needs. Local residents and employees appreciate the advantages offered by our walkable business districts, with spots for dining, groceries, healthcare, daycare, banking, and more.

Growing green. We’ve earned praise for our clever “recycling” of old buildings, and we’re now home to two new green buildings: the Blackbird Lofts and Artist Studios and the new Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh campus.

Our sizable residential community and regional reputation for one-of-a-kind shops make Lawrenceville a smart, cost-effective choice for retail and service businesses.
