The view from the top of the U.S. Steel Tower, an iconic skyscraper in Downtown Pittsburgh, is breathtaking.
People may be able to take in that site once again.
Pittsburgh native Jeremy Goldman is working on a project through Honeycomb Credit to raise funds for tours such as those on his website steeltriangle.com, which describes the experience as “Taking Pittsburgh Tourism to New Heights.”
Honeycomb Credit is an investment crowdfunding platform that allows local businesses to borrow funds from their fans and community.
Goldman, who is CEO of Pittsburgh ZipLine Co., declined to elaborate when contacted on Friday.
According to the website, the adventure would begin with a tour of the inner workings of the skyscraper and culminate on top of the tower’s original helicopter control tower, with a 360-degree view of the Golden Triangle.
The U.S. Steel Tower was completed in 1970 and designed by Harrison & Abramovitz, a New York architectural firm. It was originally named the United States Steel Building and later called USX Tower before its current name, the U.S. Steel Tower.
At 841 feet tall, it is the tallest structure in the city and has a distinctive triangular shape. The building is known for at one time housing The Top of the Triangle Restaurant, a high-end restaurant that closed in 2001.
Amber Flevaris, investor relations manager for Honeycomb Credit based in Pittsburgh, said this is a cool project. The vision is to have it available by April 2026 to coincide with the city’s hosting of the National Football League Draft.
“It is fun and exciting because it brings a nostalgic element to an iconic building in Pittsburgh,” Flevaris said. “People will come to Pittsburgh for the draft from all over the world.”
