Projects

In the 1980s, Oxford developed One Oxford Centre, a 45-story tower on Grant Street in downtown Pittsburgh.[2]

In 2014, the company announced its plans of developing another legacy project, which would be a 20-story tower located in Smithfield Street in downtown Pittsburgh. Oxford abandoned plans for the tower in 2017 after failing to find an anchor tenant.[3]

At the same time, Oxford developed 200 acres in Pittsburgh's Strip District to create their 3 Crossings project. The first phase of the project is currently leased up in what is becoming known as "Robotics Row" or "The Silicon Strip", featuring tenants such as autonomous driving company Argo AI,[4] Burns White, Bosch, Target, Apple, and Smith and Nephew.[5] Additionally, Pittsburgh-based health and nutrition related products company GNC has announced the relocation of their headquarters to 3 Crossings.[6] In October 2019, Oxford moved their headquarters to the 3 Crossings project as well, taking space in Riverfront West.[7]

As of 2018, Oxford began managing multifamily residential properties, by self-managing three of their own properties: The Yards at 3 Crossings, Coda on Centre, and The Racquet Club Apartments, as well as management of a new residential building by Steel Street Capital, Helm on the Allegheny.
