The Urban Redevelopment Authority of Pittsburgh functions as the city’s economic development authority focused on real estate‑led initiatives. It seeks to build a prosperous and equitable economy by aligning public and private interests to support developments that address housing affordability, economic mobility, entrepreneurship, and neighborhood revitalization. Through these efforts, the agency aims to create and sustain quality jobs, thriving neighborhoods, healthy communities, and sustainable local businesses for Pittsburgh residents. Based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the URA operates within the real estate sector to coordinate development with public institutions, private developers, and community stakeholders. A notable recent development occurred in April 2026, when the URA announced plans to enter into a 25-year lease with Capital Good Fund to develop a solar array on a 15-acre site in Swisshelm Park.
