Where Innovation Happens Daily
2555 Smallman provides an urban-flex office product, optimal for companies looking for highly efficient, exposed, and flexible office space that encourages collaboration and creativity.
This is the first building in the region to provide a Euro Plaza, or woonerf, that transforms from guest parking to a weekend destination for gathering. A woonerf (Dutch for ͞living street͟) is a concept created in the Netherlands and designed primarily with the interests of pedestrians and cyclists in mind and as a social space where people can meet safely. The Euro Plaza will be built at the same grade as the sidewalk, without curbs. Through traffic is directed using a series of lighted bollards.
Home to Robert Bosch, LLC’s research and technology center, as well as Honeywell, 2555 complements the community’s new vision as Pittsburgh’s next corporate and high-technology destination.
Sustainability Explored
At 2555 Smallman, sustainability isn't just a checkbox – it's at the core of our building's design and operations. Achieving LEED Gold certification reflects 3 Crossings’ ongoing commitment to environmental responsibility and the well-being of our community. Here are some of the impactful measures from our certification:
Access to Quality Transit: We understand the importance of accessible public transportation in reducing carbon emissions. That's why 75 Hopper Place is conveniently located near PRT’s 54, 86, 87, 88, and 91 bus routes, making sustainable commuting easier for our tenants. Downtown is only 2 minutes away!
Open Space: Green spaces aren't just for aesthetics – they're essential for our well-being and the health of our environment. We designed the limited surface parking in a Euro-plaza style, as well as providing a shaded, outdoor plaza between 2555 and neighboring 2501 for outdoor lunch, meetings, or relaxation.
Rainwater Management: It rains a lot in Pittsburgh, and it isn’t stopping any time soon. Through innovative rainwater management systems, we're reducing runoff and mitigating the strain on local water resources, contributing to a more resilient ecosystem. More stormwater is kept on-site, so we don’t overwhelm the sewage system keeping the Allegheny River clean.
Heat Island Reduction: By using reflective white roofing materials and strategic landscaping, we're minimizing the urban heat island effect, creating a more comfortable and energy-efficient environment for our tenants and the surrounding community.
Outdoor Water Use Reduction: Through efficient landscaping practices and water-saving technologies, we bring outdoor water use to an absolute minimum, if any.
Tenant Design and Construction Guidelines: We empower our tenants to adopt sustainable practices through comprehensive design and construction guidelines, ensuring that their spaces align with our environmental goals for everyone’s benefit.
Optimize Energy Performance: Energy efficiency isn't just a goal – it's a necessity. By optimizing our building's energy performance, we're reducing carbon emissions and operating costs, creating a win-win situation for both the environment and our tenants.
Enhanced Commissioning: What’s commissioning? We bring in experts to make sure our building systems operate in the real world the way they were designed. Rigorous commissioning processes ensure that our building operates at peak efficiency, delivering optimal comfort and performance while minimizing energy waste.
Low Emitting Materials: From flooring to paint, we've selected materials with low VOC emissions, reducing indoor air pollution and creating a healthier indoor environment for our tenants.
Construction IAQ Management Plan: During construction, we took proactive measures to minimize indoor air pollution, protecting the health of construction workers and future occupants alike. These rules extend to tenant buildouts, so new occupants don’t disturb our existing tenants.
Construction Waste Management: Working with our construction partners, we were able to divert 93.65% of on-site generated construction waste from landfills.
We're proud to offer a space where environmental responsibility and exceptional design go hand in hand.
