The Esplanade is a massive, transformative development project that is set to revitalize the North Shore of Pittsburgh. This ambitious undertaking aims to create a vibrant, mixed-use neighborhood that will include residential, commercial, and entertainment spaces.

About The Esplanade On Pittsburgh's North Shore

The development transforms several underutilized industrial brownfield sites into a transit-oriented district focused on sustainable and resilient development. Connecting the city to the riverfront, Esplanade will offer an urban cosmopolitan lifestyle and amenities representative of a world-class locale for visitors and locals alike.

Esplanade will feature year-round amenities that energize the site 24 hours a day – new streets, plazas and open spaces will guide people through the development and down to an activated riverfront.

Along the river, they will enjoy an array of amenities, including a vibrant public destination with a four-season open space – the Pavilion, an amphitheater, a summer splash park that converts to an ice skating during the winter, a full marina with watersport offerings, and a revamped section of the Three Rivers Heritage Trail. A climate-controlled Ferris Wheel will be perched over the river with dramatic views of one of Pittsburgh’s prominent features, the fountain at the Point.

The development includes 480 apartments, 105 residential condominiums, a 225-key full-service hotel, boutique retail, and restaurants, community-oriented stores, an aquarium, integrated parking structures, and a 265,000 SF life science office tower that is strategically choreographed together on-site to create a landmark waterfront development for the Pittsburgh area and region.

Will The Esplanade Have A Ferris Wheel?

A key feature of the Esplanade is a towering Ferris wheel that will offer breathtaking panoramic views of the city skyline and the Ohio River. This iconic landmark will serve as a symbol of Pittsburgh's resurgence and attract visitors from far and wide. In addition to the Ferris wheel, the development will include a variety of amenities, such as restaurants, shops, and a marina, creating a lively waterfront destination.

Maybe not quite as good as having a Kennywood on Pittsburgh's North Side, but plans to convert an old industrial stretch of the Ohio riverfront into a first-class entertainment destination, that would add a very noticeable, if not iconic Ferris Wheel, might be pretty close.

When initially announced, the North Side Esplanade's developers promised a venue with new things for people to enjoy. Piatt Companies is the firm behind the idea. It's been a while since introduced, but company representative Molly Onufer said there's been good reason for taking it slow and steady.
