Allegheny Concourse is a shopping-mall-turned-office-complex built in the 1960s as part of the Allegheny Center retail/office/apartment complex. In order to build Allegheny Center, the existing street grid had to be eliminated, and over 500 buildings had to be razed. Along with Mellon Arena and Penn Circle, Allegheny Center is often regarded as an urban-planning blunder. Formerly home to a Woolworth and Sears, the mall was "dead" by 1990, and has primarily been used as cheap office space since.

  • Allegheny Center should be razed. If office space is at a premium, then they can build a few low-rise buildings that are properly aligned to a street grid.
