Highmark Place
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Highmark Place (also known as Fifth Avenue Place) is a skyscraper in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The tower is named for the Highmark Corporation.
The building was completed in 1988 and it has 31 floors. Located at the corner of Liberty Avenue and Fifth Avenue, it rises 616 feet (188 meters) above Downtown Pittsburgh. The structure is made up of a unique granite frame for roughly the first 450 feet, then collapses inward in a pyramidal shape for another 124 foot tall roof structure. The roof utilizes four prisms clad in granite and encloses a penthouse area that stores the mechanics for the building as well as the cooling towers.
