PITTSBURGH, PA – The Almono Limited Partnership and Carnegie Mellon University have reached agreements with developer, owner and operator Tishman Speyer to transform Almono's 178-acre site, Hazelwood Green, in Pittsburgh, PA into a global innovation hub.

Almono, a joint-venture between the Richard King Mellon Foundation, the Heinz Endowments and the Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation, will work with Tishman Speyer to convert the historic, former Jones & Laughlin steel-mill site into a center of innovation, sustainability and community.

The new riverside neighborhood will be anchored by research facilities for science and engineering, while aiming to honor the community's history. The companies will create an environment and infrastructure that support advances in robotics, AI, life sciences and other 21st century fields.
