The Highline is a former freight-warehouse complex that was built in 1906 along the Monongehela…read moreRiver near downtown Pittsburgh. In recent years, it was redeveloped and renamed after New York City's High Line. It contains office space, retail space, a coffee shop, breweries, a fitness center, a conference room, a parking garage, and an elevated park. So far, I have used only the parking garage. It contained plenty of spaces for vehicles, and it also had a lot of support columns compared to other garages. My husband paid $3 to park here while we ate at a nearby restaurant. He did have problems with using one payment machine, so he ended up using a second payment machine instead.

Inspired by The Highline in NYC. Stairs or elevator rise to the platform suspended above the areas…read moresurrounded by and with views of the Three Rivers Heritage Trail, The Monongahela River, the Liberty Bridge, Downtown. On this platform which has entry points to businesses are planters full of plants and seating all along the way. There are even bike racks if ya really want to bring your bike up via the elevator (I just left mine locked up in racks below). This is a great destination from the rail trail. Below is outdoor seating as well as a bike shop and Sly Fox Brewery and Pub which I can attest in my separate review as a great place to grab a bite even if you aren't a beer drinker (that would be the case for me). There also is a place upstairs, Da Fer Coffee and Tea that I didn't visit but advertises as having light dining fare but appears to close at 3pm so may or may not be a viable option. Keep a watch on its hours. Love, love, love. It is also convenient to Station Square and the Color Park along the rail trail. Plus, some of Jeremy Raymer's murals are here. Do check out this venue!

I have never worked or lived here, but years ago I was a customer of Brooke Rockwell Hair Design, and most recently I was a customer of the Federal Galley food hall and a parking garage. I liked the foods and the service, and I thought that the prices were OK. I deducted one star from this review because when I first visit a business here, I feel slightly confused about where it is located, and I must figure out where to walk.

I came to Alloy 26 to co-work with my colleagues for a few days. I'm sure the experience as a…read moreregular member versus being a drop-in visitor is different, but overall, I thought this co-working space was just okay and if I have a choice I won't go back. It's advertised on their website that they have "fresh coffee, snacks, and drinks". This was not my experience. The only snacks I saw were a few bags of pretzels. There were two coffee options - one automated machine and a drip coffee in the lobby. The automated machine coffee was stale and flavorless. The drip coffee was fresh and tasted good overall but only accesible for a few hours of the day. I went to the lobby to get coffee around 1-2 PM and it had already been put away for the day. There were no other drinks to my knowledge. The convenience store, Eco Bistro, which is right next door and has soft drinks, snacks and drip coffee, closes at 1 or 2 o'clock every day. There are other coffee shops nearby but I wasn't comfortable walking around on my own in this area of town. Plan accordingly if you want snacks or use the vending machines in the coworking space. The private phone booths were comfortable and sound proof but so hot. There was zero air flow in these booths and I personally couldn't be in one for longer than 5-10 minutes at a time without having to open and close the door to let some air in. The open desk areas were nice and spacious and the chairs were super comfortable. I particularly liked the open booth seating. The temperature throughout the rest of the space was comfortable. There was also at least one walking desk which was really cool to use! Pro space: if you're just dropping in, ask the front desk for a key. Just keep in mind you'll have to return the key before 5 pm when they leave work. The coworking space stays open past 5 but you won't have your key. I think Alloy 26 is a nice enough space but really has some kinks to work out. There's very little natural light throughout the space and the desks that are near the windows (which have an amazing view of PNC Park) are sparse or non-existent. I would suggest adding more proper desk spaces by the windows for people to work. I also wasn't sure of the cleanliness of the space. There were few (if any) disinfectant wipes around to clean surfaces after someone had previously used them that same day. I do know they clean and disinfect at night and the space overall is clean and doesn't have any visible issues. Finally, I recommend taking advantage of the multiple security guards working in the building if you're concerned about panhandlers and harassment. The woman running the front desk told me that security is happy to escort you to your car or to different nearby areas on premise. This area of town has some growing pains and it's best to know that security is widely available should you need it.

I personally never placed myself with my team inside the four walls of this place. My executive…read moreassistant asked of me to step up and make the awkward experience known from way back sometime ago. First and foremost we don't have any affiliation with the Alloy 26 whatsoever. Our team now is housed in Shadyside area's corporate owned offices. Apparently as I were told by several that a chief of some sort runs around the facility like on a mission. Then outside guests take over the place with total disregard for those who pay monthly for the space. Even the break area is taken over by non renters. The place is like a community center run like a public library. I urge those to think twice before considering this place. I have extended my up most apologies to all those that had to experience this awful time and place. I now consider this matter closed and move on.
