11 Stanwix Street, formerly known as and still frequently referred to as the Westinghouse Tower, is one of the major distinctive and recognizable features of Downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The tower was originally built and named for the Westinghouse Corporation; in the 1990s, that company went through a restructuring and moved its headquarters to the suburb of Monroeville, before expansions in their operations necessitated a move to a larger suburban complex in Cranberry Township. Tenants today include IBM, the Allegheny Conference on Community Development, advertising firm Brunner, and the local headquarters for First Niagara Financial Group.
11 Stanwix Street was completed in 1970, and it has 23 floors. It rises 355 feet (108 meters) above Downtown Pittsburgh and is located along the Monongahela River. A ten story building that once served as the city's main post was previously located on this site.
