Facility Overview
The Hub at 3 Crossings is a modern, state-of-the-art multi-level parking garage situated at 114 27th Street in the heart of Pittsburgh\'s historic yet rapidly modernizing Strip District. Developed as an anchor for the expansive 3 Crossings mixed-use campus, this facility is designed to serve as a comprehensive multimodal transportation center. The garage provides hundreds of covered, well-lit parking bays across multiple tiers, offering complete shelter from western Pennsylvania\'s winter snow and summer heat. Layout-wise, wide drive aisles and gentle ramp inclines ensure comfortable maneuvering for daily commuters and visitors alike. The facility readily accommodates compact cars, standard sedans, crossovers, and full-size passenger SUVs. However, high-roof commercial vans, lifted trucks, or vehicles equipped with high roof racks should observe posted clearance warnings (standard multi-level clearance approximately 7 feet to 8 feet 2 inches on designated ground zones), as vertical limits restrict oversize commercial vehicles.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Positioned between Smallman Street and Railroad Street along 27th Street, The Hub places visitors steps away from premier dining, tech workspaces, and riverfront recreation. The thriving Strip District neighborhood is famous for its vibrant food scene, historic wholesale markets, and trendy new culinary destinations. Within a 3- to 10-minute walk, visitors can explore local hotspots such as Cinderlands Warehouse, Kingfly Spirits, Aslin Beer Company, and the diverse restaurants lining Penn Avenue and Smallman Street. Outdoor enthusiasts can access the scenic Three Rivers Heritage Trail and Allegheny River waterfront just one block away at Railroad Street. Additionally, the garage directly serves the cutting-edge office complexes of 3 Crossings, home to leading tech and robotics companies, and is just a short drive or bike ride from Lawrenceville, the Senator John Heinz History Center, Downtown Pittsburgh, and the David L. Lawrence Convention Center.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Ingress and egress are straightforward via 27th Street, providing quick dispersal onto Smallman Street, Railroad Street, and Penn Avenue. Drivers departing the facility enjoy seamless regional highway connectivity: the 31st Street Bridge and 16th Street Bridge provide rapid access across the Allegheny River to Route 28, while Liberty Avenue and the Veterans Bridge (I-579) connect directly to I-376 and I-279. For public transit users, multiple Pittsburgh Regional Transit (PRT) bus routes—including the 54, 86, 87, 88, and 91—operate along Penn Avenue and Liberty Avenue, offering frequent service to Downtown Pittsburgh, Oakland, and the East End. Multimodal options abound at the facility, featuring dedicated on-site secure bicycle storage, bike repair stations, and immediate connectivity to city bike lanes and POGOH bikeshare stations.

Visitor & Driver Tips
To ensure a frictionless visit, drivers are encouraged to approach via Smallman Street or Railroad Street to easily identify the garage entrance along 27th Street. During peak morning commute hours and busy weekend brunch or dinner rush hours, traffic along Smallman and Penn Avenue can experience moderate delays, so plan for a few extra minutes of travel time. Note your floor level and section upon parking, and use mobile payment options or pay-on-foot stations before returning to your vehicle to expedite your departure through the automated gates.
