PITTSBURGH, PA-American Eagle Outfitters will relocate its headquarters to a 186,000-sf building and adjacent land in the SouthSide Works redevelopment area here that it recently acquired for $21 million. The publicly held clothing retailer says it will hold onto its existing headquarters location in Warrendale, PA, which it will expand and covert into a dedicated technology, logistics and distribution center.

The company’s new building is located at 77 Hot Metal St. and known as SouthSide Work’s Quantum II. The exterior of the building is complete; interior design and office space construction is expected to be finished in early 2007. The land parcel, which fronts the Monongahela River, will be used for development of a second building.

“We have simply outgrown our current facility,” says AE chief executive Jim O’Donnell. Moreover, he says the company’s distribution and headquarters needs will continue to increase as it pursues future growth initiatives, including continued expansion of the AE brand and the creation and launch of new retail concepts, including its newest brand, Martin + Osa.
