120 Fifth Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA, 15222  

Known for its pale granite complexion and pyramid lid, 5th Avenue Place is a Pittsburgh skyline essential. This 31-story building is a 2030 District Partner, and WELL Health-Safety rated. Highmark Health, the predominant tenant in the building, leads these efforts and is recognized for its sustainable accomplishments in employee engagement, social equity, and alternative transportation. A large green roof situated on the third-floor terrace significantly reduces storm-water runoff and provides enough insulation to cut climate-control energy use by 12 percent. Highmark and Allegheny Health Network are proud sponsors of the local Bike Share program and admired as a bicycle-friendly business.
