The neighborhood in Pittsburgh where American Eagle Outfitters’ headquarters is located is SouthSide Works.
SouthSide Works is an urban redevelopment complex on Pittsburgh’s South Side, along the Monongahela River. American Eagle moved its headquarters there from Warrendale, Pennsylvania, in mid-2007. The company’s headquarters buildings are at 19 Hot Metal Street and 77 Hot Metal Street, with the latter address recalling the year American Eagle opened its first store.
A common mix-up is the neighborhood’s formal geographic name. SouthSide Works is the development complex, while the surrounding Pittsburgh neighborhood is South Side Flats. Thus, “SouthSide Works” is the intended answer to this question, even though it is technically the name of the headquarters complex rather than the broader neighborhood.
The company announced the relocation in 2005 and completed its purchase of the headquarters property in 2006. The move was part of American Eagle’s effort to place its corporate offices in a more urban, riverfront setting near restaurants, shops, and walking trails.
