Facility Overview

Hazelwood Green Parking Lot #1 is a modern, spacious open-air surface parking facility situated at 4600 Lytle Street within the visionary Hazelwood Green redevelopment site in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Nestled along the historic Monongahela River corridor, this facility serves as a primary access hub for the cutting-edge tech, robotics, and innovation campus built upon the former Jones & Laughlin (J&L) steel mill grounds. Because it is an expansive surface lot without overhead deck structures or low-hanging clearance barriers, it accommodates virtually any road-legal vehicle with ease, including standard compacts, full-size pickup trucks, passenger vans, high-roof delivery vehicles, and oversized SUVs.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Positioned right in the epicenter of the Hazelwood Green master plan, Parking Lot #1 offers direct walking access to key institutional and business venues:

• Mill 19: Located mere steps away (1–2 minutes on foot), housing Carnegie Mellon University’s Manufacturing Futures Institute, the Advanced Robotics for Manufacturing (ARM) Institute, and Motional autonomous mobility labs.
• The Roundhouse at Hazelwood Green: Just across the street, a historic 19th-century railway roundhouse transformed into a vibrant technology coworking space and startup incubator by OneValley.
• Hazelwood Green Plaza & Event Lawn: Less than a 3-minute stroll, hosting community gatherings, outdoor cinema nights, food truck rallies, and seasonal festivals.
• Three Rivers Heritage Trail / Monongahela Riverfront: Immediate access for cyclists and pedestrians connecting to downtown Pittsburgh and the South Side via regional trail links.
• Hazelwood Business Corridor: Located within a 10–12 minute walk or 2-minute drive to neighborhood dining, local bakeries, and retail along Second Avenue.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

The lot provides seamless vehicular access via Lytle Street and Eliza Street, connecting directly to Irvine Street and Second Avenue, which serve as the primary arterial routes linking the campus to Downtown Pittsburgh and the Parkway East (I-376). The open layout ensures smooth traffic circulation and minimal bottlenecks during morning ingress and evening egress. For commuters relying on public transit, Pittsburgh Regional Transit (PRT) bus routes 56, 57, and 58 operate frequent service along Second Avenue, within short walking distance of the parking gates. Additionally, dedicated bike lanes and trail spurs connect the lot directly to the regional non-motorized commuter network.
